Random Thoughts for the Week Ending June 10, 2007 - Paris, Immigration, and Global Warming
Sorry for the delay in posting and in the delay for this particular weeks’ posting. I will shoot for Saturday or Sunday in the future
Paris Hilton, Sign of the Apocolypse?
Look, I am a Christian theologian, not a gossip columinist. The young lady (is she really 26 now) is in prison, after a DUI, parole violation, put in, let out, and a media circus to end all circuses. What is the big deal about her? Okay, yes, the sex video - which I have not seen. Personally, I do not find her at all attractive, but then I have never been a blond guy (of course, I dont’ find Lindsey Lohan attractive either, and I have been in the past a red head guy).
All of this is irrelevant. What is relevant is the attention she is guessing. Last Friday (alas, I lost the picture), amid real news including the changing of our Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (in wartime and to avoid a political fight) the most any news story had (articles wise) was 1,400. The news of General Pace’s replacement was under 1000 news stories. But Paris was getting over 3900 news stories. Dont tell me this is notwrong.
