Ah, I am so tired of the media inundation of the airwaves (NBC - I'm talking about you) about the latest JFK mistress to brag about her adultery. It seems that 50 years after the fact, she just can't keep quiet about it and feels the need to parade her scarlet letter proudly. Apparently, coming from money and being a debutante (or is that debutramp as my husband would say?) can't buy one class, morals or even a little remorse for one's actions.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not letting JFK off the hook - he was an adulterer. But, one who is old enough to drink, vote and serve as a White House Intern is old enough to know that one should not sleep with a married man in his wife's bed. And, contrary to her claims that I heard yesterday, JFK did not "take" her virginity - she "gave" her virginity.
In any case, at 70 or so years old, why publish one's indiscretions to the world? Most people would be embarrassed, but it seems others will do anything for money. People, please don't watch this woman (I turned off the program after hearing her speak for a few minutes), and don't buy her book - please. Let her fade back into obscurity where she so rightfully belongs.

The Billion Dollar Question
So President Obama seems bound and determined to raise a billion dollars for his re-election. My question to the President, is, "instead of being known as the Billion Dollar President with regards to your re-election campaign, why aren't you already known as the Billion Dollar President for raising a billion dollars to pay down the US debt that you have raised by over 5 trillion?"
Seriously, why don't you get all your rich buddies together (Warren Buffet, you listening?) and have them raise a billion dollars to pay towards the US deficit? All they have to do is go here: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/resources/faq/faq_publicdebt.htm
This gives them all the information as to how to contribute, but if they don't have time, here it is in a nutshell (quoted directly form the above website):
"How do you make a contribution to reduce the debt?
There are two ways for you to make a contribution to reduce the debt:
You can make a contribution online either by credit card, checking or savings account at Pay.gov
You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in the memo section, notate that it's a Gift to reduce the Debt Held by the Public. Mail your check to:
Attn Dept G
Bureau of the Public Debt
P. O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188"
Come on, Mr. President - put the good of the American people before the good of your party and your own self-aggrandizement. Work to raise a billion dollars to pay down the government debt BEFORE you raise a billion dollars to stay in the White House. I challenge you.
