God Bless America

For the most part, I stay away from the news (except when it's celebrity gossip, of course) because there really isn't anything interesting going on anymore. After today, I felt it my American duty to comment on the state of our nation:
  • Good ol' Mark Foley. Just when things were getting a little tough for him, he does what any God-fearing American does: blames a priest. I thought Republicans were all about personal responsibility, taking ownership of one's actions. It's the Democrats that point the finger, cite their upbringing and cry "woe is me". Has the planet tilted off it's axis? And what does being gay have anything to do with having internet sex with a teenage page boy? The lesson from Mr. Foley: when in trouble, blame the gays and the Catholics. Everyone else does.

  • Speaking of gays...apparently Brad Pitt and Angelina have decided not to marry until everyone else in the country is legally allowed to marry, as well. Hmm. This sounds like a devious, wolf-in-sheep's-clothing strategy devised by men to avoid tying the knot. After all, can you really argue with such a socially-minded cause? But that's not the real story here. Turns out Mr. Donald Trump is equally suspicious, so much so that he wrote about it on his blog. I know what you're thinking: "When did The Donald start caring so much about the sanctity of marriage?" But the truly important question: When did The Donald get a blog??
