Ah! The good old days. How I miss those days filled with “news” of the bad behavior and juicy divorce details of celebrities. Stories I just couldn’t live without. Not!
Today, salacious stories such as these have been replaced by stories that are just plain stupid. The top stupid story talked about this morning comes to us thanks to Governor Schwartzenegger and Maria Shriver who both show plain old fashioned bad taste.
Maria, a lady who sees herself above the law, can’t keep from yacking on a cell phone while driving. Mrs. Terminator, when caught thrice, exhibits behavior that causes me to wonder if English is indeed her first language.
Shriver said that to atone for her sin, she would donate her favorite old cell phone to a womans’ shelter. First of all, if it’s one of your old phones, the punishment is probably barely equal to a slap on the wrist.
Secondly, the point was not for you to get rid of a cell phone, but instead it was to fix your phone so it is legally used while driving. Don’t make your faux paux an excuse to play the martyr, Drive that Hummer down to a Fry’s Electronics and get a hands-free device.
Hell! If I so much as quibble about licensing my cat, I get an avalanche of threatening letters from the county that claim the right to take over ownership of any of and all real property I may own or think of owning.
Ah-nold commented that to stop Maria from her jaw-flappinng offense could cause him to lose his right to “action.”
Ah-nold, listen up. You are bilingual, you have a college degree and you are a world traveler. Go and buy some class. You make this joke about “action” when you get caught with your pants down. It’s not funny. You just prove my point that the rich and famous can live in the lap of luxury and still lack decency, common sense and couth.
You are the representative of a state, not a smoke-filled bachelor party.
