Who Needs Cupid Anyway?
While driving home today I was channel surfing, trying to find something, anything worth listening too. I finally stopped on a station with a hot topic. A listener sent in a letter asking what should she do about her husband who want to go to the all star weekend with his boys instead of spending Valentines Day with her. This seemed to be a no brainer, at least it was for me. Honestly I’m not quite sure what an all-star weekend is all about, I'm guessing it has something to do with sports. I could careless when it comes to sports, so I'm not sure of how big of a deal it is to go. I imagine it is up there with the supper bowl (not sure who won that either).
She states in her letter that they had plans to spend a romantic day together at the hotel with the candles and the lingerie etc., but he now he wants to cancel and go with his friends. She also states that he would make it up to her next weekend, that they would do everything that was planed and more.
So what’s the problem? What is the big issue about Valentines Day? Valentines Day is just a commercial holiday invented to create revenue by selling cards that profess everlasting love and candy that makes you fat (if it’s the good kind) and flowers that somehow double in price just for this one particular day.
Let the man go to all-star weekend! And let his guilt pay for your expensive spa treatment while he is away and when he returns show your husband that everyday is Valentines Day as long as you are with someone you love.

Who Needs To Know?
Unless you are one of the alleged mistresses or the wife of the cheating husband why would the affairs off Tiger Woods, S.C. Governor Mark Sanford or former senator John Edwards be of any concern for the public? Yes these people either holds a public office or is a public sports figure but does that mean that every aspect of their life should be public knowledge? Is it not already painful enough for the wives to have been betrayed but they also have to deal with a very personal matter in a public forum. These women deserve their husbands to be faithful; since that didn’t happen don’t they at least deserve some dignity and be able to address their marital problems in private. I hear comments such as “the public want to know”, “the public has a right to know”. I believe that it couldn’t be farther from the truth. What the public needs to know is if these men are doing their jobs well, not the women they’re doing. Especially Tiger, does it matter who he sleeps with as long as he can still hit the little white ball? As for the senator and governor I guess you can argue that their judgment may be impaired but if it does not affect the job it shouldn’t be an issue that is dramatized in the media. The wives were hurt and the media continues to pick at the wound all for the sake of informing the public. Maybe just maybe the public doesn’t need to know everything.

Duggars Do It Again
Somebody please tell me why having a baby is news worthy. Ok, I get it if you’re the first to give birth @ midnight on January first, or if under some strange event such as in the back seat of a police car while being arrested. Those events earn an honorable mention. Women give birth every single day so why is it so fascinating to people for a woman who has now had her 19th child. Personally, I could care less. As long as I'm not part of the feeding, changing dippers or babysitting duties she can have as many as she can pop out. I get that Octo-mom was one of the few if not the only woman who has had 8 babies at one time. Yes that was news worthy, but it was blown way out of proportion. She outlived her fifteen minutes of fame as soon as the babies went home. Yet the media still splashes her on the tube whenever they get a chance. She is working out and can now wear a bikini. The question they seem to want answered most is did she have plastic surgery? I want to know if she is working to feed all those kids and not abusing the welfare system, after all those are my tax dollars at work. At the time of birth she didn’t have any means of support. At least the Duggars are self-supporting. Still why would any one care that they now have 19 kids. Reality TV sucks if this is the best that they can come up with. This is not news.
