Blago, Kate Gosselin and Other Imbeciles
Coming off a lovely vacation with the lover, I've been just swamped with work. Catching up is simply no fun, especially not when I have such wonderful memories of the trip and the most excited hope for the next one. At any rate, hence the lag in blogging.
Today's rant, if I may extend myself such a luxury, is about how plainly stupid people can be.
Case in point: Rod Blagojevich. The man has absolutely fallen off of his rocker. If I was facing serious federal charges and jail time, the last thing I would ever do would be to taunt the prosecutor. I would probably be groveling and brown-nosing Patrick Fitzgerald as best I could instead of inviting him to battle me in the legal rink. Are you kidding me, Blago? You have to be nuts! Judge Zagel got wind of Blago's theatrical news conference setting up the sparing match and rebuked the defrocked governor, informing him in no uncertain terms that HE was the referee.
Another winner is Kate Gosselin who finally, by the grace of God, got booted off of Dancing With the Stars. My rolly-polly pug has more coordination and grace than that woman. One of the judges said it best: you aren't a star, you are just a housewife. Precisely--so go back to your eight kids and try, please try, to tone down your inner bitch and be a good mother. The temper tantrums, whining and feet stomping make you look like you need to be institutionalized.
Today's Chicago Breaking News featured a story of the ever-so-bright Alexander J. Bailey, 22, who decided that not only did he not deserve a parking ticket, but that he would sock it to the town of Bartlett. He, in is infinite wisdom, mailed back his parking ticket stained with human feces with a note detailing what he did with the ticket. What a real Einstein! Now, instead of owing the city a few dollars, $15 to be exact, he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Luckily, he had $500 to post bail and is now due back in Cook County Circuit Court on June 11th.
In Amsterdam, Reuters reports that thieves broke into a Dutch prison to steal inmates' televisions! Apparently, twice in the last six weeks, these geniuses broke into a minimum-security jail and stole TVs from cells while prisoners were on weekend furloughs (is for inmates near the end of their sentences).
I know, I know, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. This is poignantly true because I live in what one of my friends calls a "fish tank"--read: all glass. Regardless, people, please: think before you act!
