Hey, we're  not trying to harsh your V-day weekend.  You're better off without that loser. (And if you're spending the day with your current Big Love-- bonus!)

We just want to hear about the moment when you knew you'd be better off without whoever-it-was.  Listen in, call in on Friday-- 888-635-1112

And we weren't kidding about many breakups being good news; we borrowed the idea for this thread from Chicago writer Robert K. Elder, who created itwasoverwhen.com

... and that's how he sees things.  He started the site last year, after being laid off from his longtime gig as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune.

Here's an interview he did with me yesterday:

 BUT WAIT-- There's more!  Wut's Good Radio addressed an eternal question on Thursday:  Why do women sleep with sleazebags?  They pressed a female guest for an answer... and got one.

 Last but not least:  The patron Superhero of Valentine's Day, Breakup Girl ("saving love lives the world over"), celebrates by hosting a breakup haiku contest.   Hear her talk about why -- and read a couple of favorites.  Beyonce plays a big role in some of the best ones.
