Actually, Badtux, it would depend on the type of livestock. In Florida goats weren’t enough to get a law against bestiality passed.

Besides, considering the behavior of most of these men, shouldn’t they be accused of adolescentery?

If it had been a dead boy or girl, or livestock, maybe there would be a story there. An adulterous affair? Yawn. Something for the pages of the National Enquirer, not for the evening news. - Badtux the Bored Penguin .-= ´s last blog ..Thought for the day =-.

First off Southern evangelicals have the highest divorce rate in the country, so it is not a surprise to anyone who lives down here. It’s almost to the point of handing the newly baptized the card of a divorce lawyer, so it is hardly news.

Secondly, they don’t even bother to look at the facts of the gossip they are promoting. The bubble-headed bleach blond says “at least he didn’t have his wife there to embarrass her.” Given that she had thrown him out a few weeks ago, it was highly unlikely she would have showed up, if asked, and that’s why she didn’t know what he was doing when asked about his whereabouts earlier.

The whole concept behind the 24-7 news channels is to provide up-to-the-minute news. Breaking the pattern to discuss celebrity gossip is one of the reasons that the public is so ill-informed. They could at least put up an occasional map to show people where South Carolina and Argentina are located – that would at least have some educational value.

“Aren’t there several wars going on? Is the economy no longer in the tank? Was everyone suddenly granted health care? Has climate change been halted? Is there nothing else newsworthy in the world?”

Ooooh, look over there at the (sex) kitten!

We used to say that no news is good news. Well, now, if you want no news, all you have to do is turn on the TV.

Well I've been listening to radio all day...it's all over the radio, too...but then most get back to the healthcare issue after having their chuckles. .-= ´s last blog ..Vote for the Santa Barbara Farmer's Market =-.

When my wife called me today, she asked what was so important about the SC Governor that he was all over her internet start-up page…she was furious when I explained it to her. “This isn’t news; it isn’t even our business what this clown does.”

Like you, this is one of the many reasons we no longer watch television.

Ah, well, I generally file that as “None Of My Business” along with a number of other issues that shouldn’t be issues because they are private matters. I have a high threshold for what constitutes a “public concern”, and consensual sex between or among consenting adults doesn’t even come close.

i know you're not. i, otoh, am [asking for suppression]. i've got no problem if people want to talk about their own [well, up to a point] but i'd like for it to become socially unacceptable talk about somebody else's sex life. .-= ´s last blog ..The House health care deform bill =-.

Oh, no, Jack, not a blogger desecrating the sanctity of a Presidential press conference?!

I would suspect that the name, Gannon, doesn’t ring any bells with the media.
