Dropping Names

We know too much, more than we should. Our society gets carried away with the “issues”, and that is the issue. This week I saw headlines that spoke volumes in but a few words. We are voyeurs running from the mundane; we’ve run so far that we’ve forgotten where we’ve come from. Where I come from, I’ve been told if you’ve nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all… at least in front of the wrong people. How’s this for news? Don’t say anything you don’t want millions of people to hear while you are waiting to go on live TV.

Teacher Loses Job over Stern Appearance

I really don’t know the whole story and I’m not going to take the time to watch the video…but the woman appeared on Stern’s show with her husband (he’s probably the stupid one that got them in this mess), for winning an ugly dude/beautiful wife contest or something. She wasn’t sleeping with her second graders; she was talking about sex with her HUSBAND. Kudos to her, let’s bring some sex back into the marriage.

Husband of Hostage Admits Icy Reunion

Geez, don’t you think your wife feels bad enough about being a hostage for more than half a decade; do you need to tell the world about YOUR troubles? My gosh, how long has Ingrid Betancourt even been home? I think it was reported she was tied to a tree about a week ago and he’s concerned about the cold shoulder.

Christie Brinkley Settles Nasty Divorce

Tsk, tsk Christie. It is one thing to be a questionable wife (what is it now, three times, I lost count), but to air the laundry potentially in front of your children in today’s information age. SHAME. Now you win the questionable mother award.

Jesse Jackson Caught on Tape Trashing Obama

I remember a time when journalists sat down with you and would go to jail to protect their sources. What was FOX NEWS thinking? Fair and balanced my @$$. They’re ratings pigs like everybody else. And Rev. Jackson, I reiterate, don’t say anything you don’t want millions of people to hear while you are waiting to go on live TV…unless you wanted us to…

This was just a little bit of the baggage that bothered me this week. Some sad, some really sad or maybe really stupid.

What bugged you this week? Time to let it go.
