    Suze Orman? I didn’t know that…

    And I thought Anderson Cooper was only secretly gay. Which was great, because I could still imagine our white-haired babies when he was only secretly gay.

    Nice they got the age thing right, but gosh, where are the women? Suze got a raw deal. She should be much higher on the list.
