Cowboy Confessional

Every news outlet on God’s Gray Earth is reporting that the son of Al “We Are All Going To Die” Gore was busted for piloting a pharmacy. 

The cops saw Little Gory’s Prius traveling at 100 miles per hour.  When the cops caught up with him they discovered a pharmacological inventory that included Xanax, Valium, Vicodin, Adderall and a some weed (marijuana for those hopeless bereft of common slang). The junior Al did not have a prescription for any of these drugs.  Given that Adderall is prescribed for attention deficit disorder, perhaps he simply forgot to get a prescription first.

We could ask a lot of questions in and around this incident.  How did he get the drugs?  Is this a reflection on the former Vice President’s parenting skills?  Given previous pot and reckless driving charges, should he be prosecuted as a repeat offender.

My question is ‘how in the Sam Hell did he get a Prius to go 100 MPH?’

The folks at Pew Research are a nosey bunch.  They enjoy prying into almost every corner of American life deeper than the average proctologist can manage.  Such intellectual drilling occasionally, and accidentally, exposes things disturbing and amusing.

In an ongoing series of surveys on marriage, family, and other disasters, they note shifts in priorities over the last 17 years concerning these and related issues. 

For instance, more people view having a happy sex life as a pivotal element to a successful marriage. However, fewer see sexual fidelity as an essential element.  In more base terms, people plan on having a good sex life, even it it does not involve their spouse.

Being a live-and-let-live kinda fella, I can’t and won’t preach the demerits of this slight skewing of sentiment.  But I am happy to see that it won’t affect the upbringing of these horny folks’ children because kids are almost half as important to married people than their sex life is.  Broken homes without children are only financial nightmares.
