How can I miss you if you won’t go away?

I’m still waiting for somebody to write a hit country song with that title.

If I were to write it tonight, I would definitely have to mention my current Top 3…

Mindy McCready.

Ok, congratulations on getting out of jail and everything, but I really do not care that you had an affair with Roger Clemens.

Why is this news?

Pacman Jones.

Just when I thought we were free of this dude, we’re now subjected to stories about his house mansion being up for sale (for a cool 1.8 million) as well as a new accusation that he ordered the shooting at the Las Vegas strip club where he made it rain. All I can say is at least the getting that house on the market is a step in the right direction. Good riddance…preferably ASAP.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

This guy loves the spotlight. You can just tell. But I really hate to see what has happened between he and Barack Obama. I mean…for the rift to happen publicly, and just when we thought the whole thing was over with, it rears its ugly head once again with Rev. Wright making his rounds on the speaking circuit. It’s just an ugly, ugly situation all around, and a distraction from the issues that we need to be hearing Obama’s viewpoints on. Go away, Rev. Wright. Retirement: it’s a good thing. Go fishing.

Honorable mention: whoever it is that is responsible for the current gas prices. I wish you would take a flying leap.

  1. Do I have a treat for you! Let me find it and I’ll email it to you.

  2. It’s okay, Wright will go away once Obama goes away. That won’t be long now.

  3. Well here in Boston, Clemens is already a dirty word. (Not that I care one way or the other.) But McReady at 15? My co-workers say “for shame”. My boyfriend says, “YEAH!!!”.

    There are some things I will never appreciate about that gender.

  4. But I agree…It’s not news and it’s nobody’s business but theirs.

    But your point is well-taken.

  6. hahahaha! Aunt B and CeeElCee, I stand corrected. There have been songs written with that title. lol :)

  7. Darn, they beat me to it.

  8. I guess I’m lucky, I have no idea who this Rev. Wright is, but you know me and politics and it sounds like I’m probably glad I’m oblivious.

    I WISH I didn’t know who McReady and Clemens were. Bleh.

  9. We are the ones responsible for high gas prices. For too long, we looked the other way while our Govt propped up dictators to ensure a steady flow of cheap oil.

    Though, if it helps, you can blame the Chinese and Indians, who have the gall to think they can enjoy an economic boom.

  10. I am not sure Mindy really asked to have her name mentioned in the news…I’m not sure on who first let the cat out of the bag about her alleged affair with Clemens. It seems to me more that she’s had to come out and say something….

    I wish Roger Clemens would just go away. Sure, he was a good pitcher, but he is a complete sleezeball off the field.

    Plus the fact that he was dating someone who was 15 when he was 28! As Rick and Bubba said, if she can’t get into an R-rated movie without you buying the ticket, maybe you shouldn’t be dating…

  11. Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks: “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away”. Rest of the album was grand, too.
