Isolation Thought

I am perplexed as to what's happening with today's media. The governor of New Jersey, Jim McGreevey,resigned today. In an administration rife with corruption, the governor shockingly resigns. The married governor, and father, then admits he is gay at a news conference. And he is resigning because he is about to be sued in a sexual harassment by his spurned male lover. On the scandal meter, this is about an 18.

Yet I see more coverage of Amber Frey's testimony at the Scott
Peterson trial. I just don't get it. Governors having affairs and resigning does not happen every day, but we are subjected to this tabloid journalism from most media.

Toys 'R' Us may be sold. Wal-Mart's role in the destruction of this company cannot be underestimated.

Isn't science a wonderful thing? Scientists have turned procrastinating monkeys into workaholics.

The Vatican shuts down a haven for child porn and homosexuality. No, it's not an adult store, it's an Austrian seminary. Good grief!

The Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, has his own sex scandal to deal with. Can't spend money on his team, but pays for sex. Lots of money for lots of sex.
