A National Obsession

JonBenet is dead - she was murdered.
Her mother, Patsy, died from cancer this year.
Her father John, who allowed the little 6 year old to whore herself on stage to the delight of psychotic bitches and nefarious pedophiles who congregate around child beauty pageants, walks the earth a free man.
A "man" named Mark Karr claims that he killed the little girl so we hear about this case 24/7 (again) until the next big thing knocks it off the cable news stations.

Anyone who is fed up with this crap or just likes good cinema should go see a movie titled "Little Miss Sunshine" and contemplate its themes. Those people who are obsessed with this case should be forced - yes, I mean physically grabbed and strapped down in a chair and Clockwork Orange forced - to watch this magnificent film. Alan Arkin must win some kind of award for best supporting actor - he was terrific, as was the entire cast.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
