Get back in the closet already!

In my view former NJ Gov. Jim McGreevey has not stepped up to the plate and taken full moral responsibility for his actions but then again who does these days? Forget for a moment that he's a self-proclaimed "gay American" (well bully for you) and focus instead on the pain and suffering he caused his wife and children with their show marriage (although she didn't know it was a show at the time) and there is a huge moral lapse that at press time he has refused to acknowledge. He's on the Oprah today no doubt regaling the audience with his anal adventures at truck stops while Governor but you cannot use the storyline that society's homophobia pushed him into the domestic hearth scene, not in this day and age. The msm is having a field day with him. No, you cannot be even mildly anti-gay anymore, the media make you out to be like that deranged Marine colonel in American Beauty.

Funny, but the only one who has, in my opinion, stepped up to the plate recently is Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley's soon to be ex (that is, if you don't count Mel as being sincere) and yet it didn't mean squat to this former supermodel with soon to be 3 divorces under her belt. He gave as an unvarnished apology as he could for his affair with that 19 year old toy-store clerk what's her name and NY Post gossip maven Cindy Adams writes that many thought Christie would ride this one out since she'd look like a three-time loser by divorcing him. Now maybe he is a cad and she made the right decision after all but it is rather alarming how little the Christian doctrine of forgiveness weaves itself into the warp and woof of our daily lives.

I am not all that jazzed up over Meredith Viera joining the "Today" show. During her stay at "The View" she proved herself a real potty mouth and time will tell how she does at her new gig. My eternal view of her was formed, however, when I was channel-surfing a few months back and she had on Michael Schiavo hawking his new book Terri - the Truth, and, to use Marlon Brando's classic phrase in Last Tango in Paris "what a steaming pile of horseshit." She promised each member of the studio audience a free copy of the literary work, no doubt mostly ghostwritten with Michael spewing his intellectual diarrhea into a tape recorder. She was so in awe of what the guy did, starving his wife to death and all over the course of 14 long days, that I'm surprised she didn't go for his cojones. On the Right

  1. Thought for the day for those people who go to work and endlessly complain throughout the day-

    Work is supposed to suck, that's why they call it work.

    Someone once said to me "instead of adding years to my life I'd rather add life to my years." I think he came up with this profound little gem on his own and was waiting for the right time to use it, he's such a witty fellow.

    Those wife-starvers are just so damn sexy that I've even begun to question my own sexuality ("now let's see, if I were a woman I'd go for Michael, if I were gay I'd definitely go for him, oh what the hell!") and what a poetic and romantic touch to Terri's headstone, "I kept my promise." Such a studmuffin! I dreamt about him last night, I was involved in a car accident and couldn't be fed on my own and I could see my knight in shining armor coming in the distance...had to change my sheets in the morning, they were all sweaty (well, if Babs could have an erotic dream about Brad Pitt why not Meredith Viera and MS?).

  2. I totally don't get the attraction to Michael Schiavo, he starved to death the woman he supposedly loved. You don't think he would hesitate to do that again?

  3. More accurately, what I meant to say is don't those love sick for Michael Schiavo women think if he did that once, he wouldn't hesitate to do it again?!? Do these women have a death wish?

  4. Michael's wife, Jodi Centonze, met him about 10 years ago at the dentist's office after a car accident left her in pain and another car accident killed her father so I see an emotional vulnerability here. On a Larry King show Michael admitted to having his cancer-stricken parents starved to death and he claims this is the second best way to go after an aneurysm. Creepy is sexy I guess.
