Why the Daily News Makes Me Laugh

Updating les affaires Hollande - it turns out that Hollande and Segoline who have four children never bothered to marry.  In the "comments" section of the article it was pointed out somewhat forcefully to Valerie aka Mistress #2, "What goes around comes around, so suck it up Valerie."  

None of the commenters could find the slightest reason to consider Hollande attractive in any way with which I would heartily agree; he looks like the popular cartoon of an accountant - no offense meant to any who may be reading this.  I think the reason many of us depict them as less than worthy is because they do things to us that we don't like.  "Pay this much quarterly tax," being chief among them. 

Amid press speculation as to who, exactly, IS the First Dame (French title used for this situation) and one writer scribbled, "At least, we know who the First Dick is!"

Moving along.  From today's Daily Breeze, I learned that the group of militant wing nuts (anti-gay, anti- same sex marriage and anti-Jews) called the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS, made a hurried protest at the El Segundo High School on their way to LAX after protesting at the Golden Globe Awards last night.  They had an early flight to catch. 

This is the group that makes it a point to appear at military funerals and make a scene.  Their wack belief and reason for showing up is that members believe God killed military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan as punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.  It's the type of cult insanity that should get them all a one-way ticket to the nearest asylum for the criminally insane, but:  they have freedom of speech (and maybe someone should be looking into that?)

Anyhow, they did a 20 minute demonstration - the bus driver kept the engine running; probably Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) given the hostility always given them - they then grabbed their picket signs and sped off to the airport which begs the question:  what do they do with their picket signs?  Do they just toss them knowing they have more back in Topeka? Do they have one portfolio-sized carrying case that they take turns schlepping or do they put it in checked luggage?

Do they have a travel agent?  I'm sure they all sit together on the plane.  God forbid that any member would wind up seated next to a gay guy or a Jew!  Especially if either one might happen to be a karate black belt with a short fuse...  Frankly I'd pay good money to see the ensuing rumble.
