Millionaire Steals wife - It could happen to you

For those who don't know me as I'm sure no one would have a reason to because I am just your average American guy, Jonathan Allen, who was common law married to my high school sweetheart since 1999 until we, happily and officially wed on July 14 2007. Inspired by such movies as: “It Could happen to you" I am but a humble husband, who gave my wife everything she could want: Trust, Loyalty, Structure, and up until now a new house, which we just purchased together by the end of January 2010. Both of us are on Social Security disability, which is a rare feet alone to get approved for on the first try. Myself, for nerve damage and a surgically repaired shoulder twice and her who got it by having general hip dysplasia "half a hip and severe arthritis" and also a severe case of bi-polar. And yet through it all we were happily married, in spite the fact that she was unable to have children, due to the added weight bearing a child would have on her hip. Yes we were happy with our simple lives, our 3 year old Chihuahua, and a 9 week old Chihuahua puppy.
Until that day came when a man split us apart. A situation one would normally see on the silver screen, such as "Win a date with Tad Hamilton". This man, William Ted Cuppett, "Google if you wish" whom is more than old enough to be her dad came into the picture as a friend/father-like figure with his millions of dollars, did the unthinkable and influenced her to the extent that without her medications, caused her to move in with him, in the blink of an eye and showcases her as arm candy. He claims he wasn't aware she was married but anyone who is a smart business man informs himself of such public things. Like any faithful husband, I have tried to get her back but with love and memories alone what can I do to compete with a millionaire? Not to mention getting a hold of her, whether it be her being too much in awe to even listen or the fact that I can't talk with her without him monitoring her every move or for the plain fact that I would fight for her back if it was any other guy but a millionaire, I have no chance.
The thing that hurts the most is the fact that he was wooing her away from me behind my back, not after we decorated/painted the new house, not after we adopted our little Chihuahua puppy but before when I purchased "Our house" together through the government for $99,000 dollars and with her gone and myself being labeled the bad guy or the weak one, because I couldn't provide her the luxuries that a simple man could provide. I'm not asking for money but more so with advice because I don't blame her since well one I am still very much in love with her and I know she is not with me and who can turn down a millionaire? But now I am stuck in a house we built with love because since we went through the government for help I am torn with a house that I am leased in agreement for 3 years that I doubt I can afford with my income alone.
Sincerely Lost, Jonathan Allen of

On November 24, 2008, Conde Nast Portfolio published an interview with Sam Zell titled "Zell's Sell." Some excerpts:

On November 12, Zell spoke with Condé Nast Portfolio editor in chief Joanne Lipman at Quadrangle Group's Foursquare media conference, where, true to form, he came out swinging against journalistic icons. He declared the worthlessness of Pulitzer Prizes ("I haven't figured out how to cash in a Pulitzer Prize"), said the newspaper business model is "unequivocally...a failure," and challenged New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, saying "If you want to be a charitable trust, be a charitable trust. If you don't want to be a charitable trust, then you've got to focus on producing a return for investors' capital, and it's just that simple."

Asked if there is a place for newspapers in the 21st century, Zell said:

I think the answer is certainly, but the answer to whether the conventional approach to the newspaper business that has been the model since the beginning of time, I could tell you unequivocally that model is a failure, or that model has passed its time of relevance. The newspaper business basically grew up as a monopoly, and like every other monopoly, it built processes and approaches that reflected its monopoly status. One example was the rate card you give to an advertiser in order for that person to determine how he would like to participate. You needed a Ph.D. in order to understand the rate card. In the days where the customer had no options, you could give him the rate card and say, "Take it or leave it." But today, that doesn't work.

I think the newspaper industry truly still doesn't understand that it is in a business with customers, and the business must reflect the needs and demands of the customer. And to the extent that we don't do that, we will disappear.

i think you all own the sun sentinel. If you do not please forgive this email and disregard. If that is correct, I would give anything to find out how to get off you call list as I have requested, called, emailed, to get on your DO NOT CALL list. Could please send me someone's contact information so I please stop the calls. I sadly gave my information when I first moved to south florida. Accepted the 90 trial offer. at the end of the 90 days declined to continue the paper. Then sent a bill. When I question the bill whomever I spoke with said it was their error. Then two months later I got a letter from a collection agencey. Needless to say I really want nothing to do with this paper especially harassing calls selling subscriptions. My email address is morrow1000@aol.com. The phone numbers that are being called are as follows;
