Past Week News...

Well, as usual, I have some definite opinions on the news lately…

First of all, let’s get the garbage out of the way.  That would be Levi Johnston.  This is the scum who was married to Sarah Palin’s daughter, and who is now making the circuit of all the media outlets to badmouth the Palin family.  He has accused Palin and her husband of being bad parents, being on the brink of divorce and any other dirt he can fabricate with that pile of mush that passes for his brain.  On the “Early Show” he said he wasn’t “into hurting people,” but feels justified in his media offensive and also claims he’s holding back some huge things about the former Alaskan governor.

This cretin is betraying people who treated him like family, and is trying to parlay his time in the spotlight into a career as a media star.  He’s been interviewed by Vanity Fair.  He has filmed a commercial.  And, in August he said he would pose nude for the right price, which apparently Playgirl offered him because he’s doing a layout.  His manager says he is 90% sure that Johnston will exhibit full frontal nudity.  What a wonderful legacy he’ll be leaving for his son.  One can only wonder what he’ll do next for attention – have sex with animals?  I wouldn’t put it past him…especially if the price is right.

On a brighter note, Consumer Reports came out with their 2009 Reliability Ratings with the car rating number one being…ta dah,  the Toyota Scion! My little Jilly was so excited (and honored) by this that she insisted on doing a photo shoot.

Of course, the magazine hastened to add that Scions aren’t the safest cars because of their small size, but I believe that’s just subcompact discrimination, pure and simple.  As a Scion owner, I can testify that what they lack in brawn, they make up for in brains, and they’re pretty nimble in getting out of the way of bigger vehicles.  So there!  Congratulations to little Scions everywhere!

And finally, in the last “American Idol” competition I confess I was an Adam Lambert fan from week one.  For me, he was always light years ahead of the other contestants in terms of talent, creativity and uniqueness.  So, even though he came in second, in my heart, he was the winner.  Well, this past week the cover of his CD has been released, causing quite a furor.  Adam has always been very savvy in responding to questions about his sexuality, so it really isn’t that shocking that his androgynous nature is reflected on his CD.  Some are afraid that men would be hesitant to purchase it, but I don’t know.  Sure, he has his makeup on, but he always did.  He’s going for a retro feel which I think he captures perfectly.  As for me, I still find him to be a sexy guy, so, if that makes me as weird as he is, so be it.  Here’s the cover.  Judge for yourself.

Have a great day!
