August 23, 2013

I think we need a dictionary to translate politespeak; it seems there are still some people who haven't learned that the phrase "personal reasons" means "none of your doggone business."

At first, I thought those commercials for E-Harmony where the company president keeps walking in on dates with the couples they've successfully matched was very charming. Then, I began to wonder: can't they find somebody for him so that he could leave these couples alone?

Dr. Phil caused a lot of controversy by tweeting the question "Is it okay to have sex with a woman when she's drunk?" Shouldn't he know this?

A former intern is suing Bad Boy Productions for back pay; a recent California law says that interns should be paid, but this woman is complaining that her job duties were answering phones, running errands, and decorating the office for parties. Somebody explain to this woman what office interns are supposed to do.

A veteran of the Iraq war who suffers from PTSD is suing KFC because he was refused service because he was accompanied by a service dog. While this lawsuit should make a difference in the discrimination against the disabled, the fact that he was a war veteran will probably give it national attention, right?

There's something very sad about overlooking the roses at your feet just because they're surrounded by weeds.

I understand Madonna's obsession with youth, but the money she spent on her new grill is a waste, in my opinion. She'll just have to spend even more in a few years when she has to buy dentures.

Respecting our limitations means knowing what they really are.

A Park Avenue eye surgeon is looking for someone who can get him a date with a white female Ivy League graduate between the ages of 27 and 35, who wears a dress size between 0 and 2, and rates 8 or higher on a 1 to 10 scale of attractiveness. He promises a reward of $100 for the first date, either $200 or free eyelash enhancement for the second date, $300 or free Botox for the third, $400 or free Juvederm injections for the fourth, and $500 or free Lasek surgery on one eye for a fifth date. Of course, those prizes are for the matchmaker. The woman gets the ultimate prize: the surgeon. Just when you thought romance was dead.

4-year-old Bobby Tufts recently began his second term as mayor of Dorset, Minnesota, following re-election. I think that about says it all, don't you?
