Is The Craziest Place
On The Planet

I think it is an old Italian
expression that says, "From the head the rotting fish stinks first."
One presidency after another
for the last forty years has been rocked with one kind of a scandal
or another. They have taken our moral structure down with them. Bush,
of course, has escalated that slide downward.
On February eight a pathetic,
wretched women died at the early age of 39.
Let’s pretend that
we are a Muslim man in Tehran who has access to American media and sees
three anchors on CNN News devote almost the entire day to every detail
they could find about the women and the sudden death. Newspapers across
the country made it a front-page story
So who is this women that
has caused millions of dollars to be spent just for American scandal
sheets to get a picture of her? Is she a holy person? Maybe a queen?
Perhaps a great scientist that has found a cure for one of our killer
diseases or perhaps a political figure that has found a way to world
peace.
No, she was none of the above.
She was the daughter of a women who was married five or six times. She
herself married at age 17 to a boy sixteen. Her son was born when she
was eighteen. She soon divorced and made a living as an exotic dancer
in a nightclub. As a very attractive women it was easy for her to find
work as a model. She later became famous by posing nude for a sex magazine.
Her next claim to fame was to marry a wealthy man 63 years her senior
with just another year or two to live. His death caused a legal battle
over his estate.
To cut through this awful
life, just before her death she gave birth to a child, but no one knows
who the father of the child is. There is a battle about to be fought
over custody because who gets the child gets the money. America is spell
bound. No TV saga can match it.
After such a life, she deserves
to be at peace, but American mass media will not let it be. Her memory
and her child forever will be tormented by the sleaze moguls
Now as the Muslim man in
Tehran do you think America is an immoral place? Nah, we are just a
little crazy.
