When A Celebrity Makes A Mistake, Kill Them

There is no room for forgiveness, insight, or compassion and if some fallen star comes near my door, I'm poking Brian Williams with a pitchfork.

I feel sorry for him. Sure he has a lot of money, but he didn't build his career for cash payouts, he wanted the prestige and respect and that's all gone now. Downfalls are sad and they drag out for such a long time, especially when the people in charge of how long it takes for the story to go away, and how ugly it gets, are the journalists in charge of making the stories. He'll just have to lay low for a while and then talk to Oprah - or wait, who is accepting daytime mea culpas now?

Ahh celebrity injustice. I am encouraged socially to be open to whatever surgical transformation Bruce Jenner is doing to his body, but not what Kim Kardashian is doing to hers. Is that sexist? I'm going to go with yes. I do accept what Bruce Jenner has decided to pursue and I support and accept the humanity of the transgendered - they're people who've pursued happiness and balance and that's enough for me. I apply the same logic to Kim Kardashian's butt cheeks. Celebrity sexist injustice is the most annoying. It's a man's world, after all.

Our most revered national past time makes oodles of headlines for players raping and beating women, concussions, homophobia, and racism and our favorite politician is Bill Clinton, the dude who signed DOMA, advocated "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and ruined the life of a dumb 22-year-old intern after taking advantage of her sexually and lying about it. He should get beaten with a sock full of oranges by Oprah. Ugh, PRESIDENTS!

I hate that we have to start listening to windbagging about the 2016 Presidential Race because c'mon, the world might be over by then. However, I have an opinion on things. I think the Republican to watch is Scott Walker. Notwithstanding a scandal in which he is caught snorting cocaine out of the folds of Chris Christie's back fat, he doesn't have a lot of the candidate-baggage that the rest have, except for screwing his State over - although screwing over constituents is not how politicians lose elections, so that's not that big of a hurdle.
