Time To Vent
I try to keep my blog in a positive light aiming for a laugh or two. Lately, there has been one too many publicized stories of that which should have remained private.
What is wrong with people?
Here are some examples:
1. The former Miss California believes that she was fired because of her answer about same sex marriage. Now she has written a book that she is a victim of unusual scrutiny in the wake of the resurfacing of a 'sex tape' she made of herself [alone] and mailed to her boyfriend. Huh?
2. In Barbara Walters autobiography, she reveals affairs and relationships that should have been remained private. What good came of that? Huh?
3. Sarah Palin will just not go away. She has also written a book that I'd bet would probably fit right in 'Grimms' Fairy Tales. I'll leave it there to avoid any political discussion. And then...who would ever imagine that her [ex] almost son-in-law would publicly work out to become 'buffed' for when he poses for the centerfold of Playgirl Magazine!! He has also made some indiscreet Palin 'family happenings' public. And the possible result of these actions? There is word with video of Donald Trump telling him that The Apprentice is interested in his presence? Huh?
4. David Letterman? The governor who 'left his heart in South America?' How about the politician with $90,000 wrapped in aluminum foil in his freezer? The commercial airline pilots who were out of radio contact for more than an hour...and then another pilot who was charged with an alcohol level unsafe for flying[ the general and unsuspecting public.]
Bernie Madoff?? The banking industry?? Foreclosures??
5. Michael Jackson died...didn't he? And he left a will that is being publicly contested by his father because...oh yeah...he is refuting that he was purposely omitted!!
6. The saga of 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight'... so sad it's public entertainment for many.
I avoid watching the news because of the wars and the military families' despair is heartbreaking.
Ok everybody...tell me something good!!
There...I'm done venting. Next post: Back to the Humor!!

Something good: Read Jay Kopelman's book From Baghdad with Love. Read the sequel, to America with Love. Smile, cry, and laugh.

Mare,
All I can say is "ditto."
People have no sense anymore. Certainly not a sense of civility, decourm or pride!

Oh, my. You've certainly nailed it with this one, Mare. We seem to be so desperate for titillation that we're willing to listen to the goings-on of ex-Miss California, Sarah Palin, Sarah's almost-son-in-law, etc. What possesses us to listen to the drivel, I wonder? Maybe it's an escape from the big, important, scary things that go on in the world.

We are overloaded with bad behavior stories these days. I also am tired of all of them.
Reading them all in your post does make me laugh though at the insanity!
Thanks Mare for the giggle!
