• Is Real Housewives a Real Guide to OC-Style Parenting?

  Ginia Bellafante writes in today's New York Times that The Real Housewives of Orange County reveals much about Orange County-style parenting.Parenthood supplies a strange and fascinating dimension of The Real Housewives of Orange County, which increasingly feels like Mildred Pierce: the habit of indulging children materially, instead of making them go to the library or disciplining them, backfires with a spectacular regularity. Later:The women have very little idea of how most of their children

• Supervisors Abort Planned Parenthood Funding

  As anticipated, the Orange County Board of Supervisors today cut about $300,000 in Planned Parenthood health education funding by canceling the nonprofit's contract through the Coalition of Orange County Community Clinics. Each Supe cited a moral objection to Orange-based Planned Parenthood providing abortions, even though the funds were not used for that. Chairman John Moorlach telegraphed his punch, having sent out an email blast to constituents after his problems with the funding appeared in

• "Parenting the Addict Child" Finds a New Home

  Photo by John GilhooleyShortly after publication of the Weekly's story on Laguna Beach's Leyla Fatima, who hosts the radio program Parenting the Addict Child, her station KLSX 97.1 FM switched from its "FM Talk" format to Top 40 music. That was curious because Fatima talked at the time of big plans to expand her nine-month-old show and its audience, although she did coyly mention that she wasn't necessarily saying her future rested at CBS-owned KLSX.Part One of her forthcoming world domination b

• Planned Parenthood Seeks County Funds Despite Activist Supervisors

  Orange-based Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties, which had its $300,000 health-services contract voided in March due to activist county supervisors, only to have the grant reinstated Tuesday along with regulations that will make it more difficult to attain future county funds, defiantly vowed to apply this week for the new money anyway. "We will not be deterred by their persistent bias against us," said Jon Dunn, the nonprofit's president and CEO, in a statement sent to the

• Health Care Agency Blocks Planned Parenthood's Final Attempt to Secure County Funding

  ​After thirty years of working closely with the county and swooping in to absorb patients the county's shoddy public health care system could no longer treat, Planned Parenthood was forced to give up the county grant it has received for the past nine years. In a scathing letter written to the county Health Care Agency, CEO Jon Dunn ripped into the agency, and the board of supervisors, for blatantly erecting a series of barriers that have made it virtually impossible for the organization to rec
