Stop the presses! Someone just had an affair.
We've become so fascinated with celebrity infidelity that the entire news cycle now revolves around extramarital escapades. I thought it didn't matter to me. I didn't think it was any of my business. Apparently I was in the minority because according to the media, it's "breaking news" whenever someone goes off confessing to transgressing. Hold that story on the war. Strike that economic data. Dele the piece on health-care legislation. What unemployment? Call TMZ because we've got a scandal to report!It occurred to me however that all the public attention placed on these seemingly private matters is well deserved. Why? Because we need the distractions from everything else and the self assurances these stories provide given our own relationship issues. It's much more pleasant to digest the woes of Tiger Woods or David Letterman than it is to contemplate the severity of other topics. I'll take a scorned woman yelling "infidelity" any day over a radical terrorist screaming "infidel". Yes, I'm on board now so let me in on all the dirt. Now where did I put that National Inquirer?

yeah it makes me sick to see all that on the propaganda box when they are starting global government in Copenhagen over global warming that is a farce. Climategate is the real news they got caught green handed on that with all the ems to and from each other. Ice caps are getting bigger and more polar bears now than there were 40 years ago by the way they can swim 300 miles at a time they are not drowning. Keep up the writing. Joe M
