All the News That's Fit to Print

I had to do another post because seeing my weight pop up first thing is just not cute.

So yeah, what's going on with ya'll?

The space shuttle landed for the very last time this morning and tomorrow hundreds of pink slips will be issued to the employees of NASA Langley.

Mrs. Obama will be in my city today. She'll be touring a youth summer camp and attending a screening of the new Har.ry Pot.ter flick.

How does this happen? A city employee collects a salary and benefits in the amount of $320,000 over a 12-year period and did not show up for work one single day. It was announced this morning that criminal charges would not be filed. I agree that criminal charges should not be filed ... she wasn't the one that issued the checks. She just reaped the benefits of the City's stupidity. But for real, I wonder how in the world she sleeps at night.

Yo! It's hot! At 5:30 this morning the humidity was enough to make me want to cuss.

What is up with all these shark attacks? How about we just stay out of the water?

What's going on in your area?

Amazing Stories

You know I never delve into the gossip or the current events because it's just not what I do here. But I had such a strong reaction to this interview that I had to write about it.

Did you tune in to Oprah yesterday?

If you didn’t, she interviewed Rielle Hunter, John Edwards’ baby mama. That interview was a trip. A straight up trip. Rielle said that no one in her life thought it was a good idea for her to do the interview. She should have listened. She confirmed everything that the public, or at least what I believed about her before the interview: She’s a trifling whore.

I have a real problem with someone who justifies doing something that is clearly wrong by saying, “I was following my heart.” Or, “I was living my truth.” Or, “I was being true to my authentic self.”

Really? Really?

So, your “truth” tells you to have sex with a married man and have his baby?

Really?

Wow.

Rielle, sweetie … it does not matter if the Edwards marriage was a “myth” as you called it. In the state of North Carolina it was a legal fact. It does not matter that you didn’t make any vows to his wife. The fact that the man had a wife should have told you that he was off limits. What the eff is wrong with you?

It made me sick to watch her giggle and refer to him as “Johnny”. That b*tch is straight crazy. And when she said she was so sure that he wasn’t lying to her … I almost choked. Really? He lies about everything! He denied you and his baby on national television! How blind are you? You were the jump off and he has no reason to be honest to you. Do you think your daughter isn’t going to resent the both of you because of all this? Do you honestly believe that somewhere along the line, Johnny won’t begin to resent you for all of this. He is incapable of taking any responsibility so you’ll become the fall guy.

Ah yes, but all of this has made Rielle a better person. She followed her heart and slept with a married man and gave birth to his child. She watched him deny her and the child. She stood by as he cooked up a scheme to have his friend say the child was his. She watched him renew his marriage vows and if Elizabeth hadn’t left him he’d probably still be right there with her. How did all of this make you a better person?
