Great picture.
OK, I can't let that Quigley-Feigenholz article go without comment.

I feel sorry for Abdon Pallasch, the otherwise excellent reporter who penned the story.
My guess is that it was the lame Sun-Times editors-turned-marketers who forced Pallasch to write this Us Magazine-flavored puff piece.
Sure, fun articles are fun. But please give us some meat and THEN give us dessert.
