Interesting. MSM was saying he was a goner. Just got back and see the update on CNN.

Thanks, Erin.

I like practical information like this that helps people take action when most of us feel helpless.

shocking but typical

j.c. — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:12:31 -0500

isn't this happening all the time? wasn't the older African American gentleman who was kicked off of an amtrak train in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere treated the same way. it was later found that it was a diabetic condition that lead to his erratic behavior. this story is so sad on many levels. this is a police agency that is not too busy, understaffed or has a million calls coming in. you would expect that on a human level they would have sought to protect a young woman in the middle of the night. my prayers go out to her family.

If I Take Your Meaning Correctly

Yeah, he shouldn't have been sleeping around with women who worked for him in the first place, but once he had to testify in front of a grand jury, the info would have gotten out anyway.

Better that he did it the way he did than let it dribble out from other sources.

But I love your rock by the river imagery.

To Err Dirty Laundry

Kerry On — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:25:28 -0500

<.. or Maytags were invented for a reason

Long, long, ago – dirty laundry was carried from the hut to the riverbed. The most perfect rock for pounding was selected and people beat the living day lights out of the soiled cloth. No doubt, little Billy Shakepeare was river side pounding once or twice and thus inspired for Lady Macbeth’s “out out damned spot”

Drying of the wet laundry – was accomplished by hanging laundry over bushes and eventually on clothes lines . One would “air” their clean, fresh, laundry.

Today, many of us are fortunate to have washers and dryers in our homes, our apartment buildings and schools.

It is no longer necessary to wash and air dry laundry in public. We’ve come along way, baby. Except...

Missed Manners

Except for all the spate of celebrities who feel compelled to air their dirty laundry.

Last week David Letterman decided to divulges his affairs on TV – does that make it right?

Does this qualify as TMI?

Not so fast, Letterman... you took the eay way out~

Thank you for that law link,

Nordette — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:07:20 -0500

Thank you for that law link, Mata. This story had me shaken up so that I wept in my car as I read some of the comments from BlogHer.com members. (no I wasn't driving).

I heard about the press

Nordette — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:05:54 -0500

I heard about the press conference, but had not seen the video. Thank you, Denise for the link. There was a problem with that one, so here it is again. I appreciate it.

If what the family's attorney says is correct, something is definitely rotten in Malibu.

I Wasn't Always A Fan

Megan Smith — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:15:16 -0500

I wasn't always a Letterman fan, but he's grown on me in the last few years. And I actually think he's funnier these days than he's ever been.

I Think It Was Nervous Laughter

Megan Smith — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:11:35 -0500

I really think it was nervous laughter. Remember, the audience didn't have the tipoff that many people did, after what he said at the taping was widely reported before the show aired.

I don't know that I wouldn't have thought it was one of his bits. At least until he got to the testifying in front of a grand jury part.
