Who'd A' Thunk It?

They're still looking for Brian Laundrie the boyfriend of Gabby Petito and we don't want to cast any aspersions about him like everyone else is doing.  We figure since he sort of almost married her.  He's sort of almost a widower.

Now a whole lot of people are beginning to realize from this whole affair that if you're young, cute, blond with good pictures and even better, video of you and you go missing, the Mass Hysteria will be all agog.  If you're Black, Hispanic, Asian, overweight or have a few teeth missing, they just don't care.  Even if there is good video of you.  They're calling it Missing White Woman Syndrome.  Seems there are all these other women who aren't cute, blond and missing and well, the Mass Hysteria just doesn't care.  Who'd a' thunk it?

And now we're learning from a new book 'It's Better to Be Feared", that it hasn't been all wine and roses up there in New England during the greatest team in NFL history's long victory run.  Seems Patriot's head coach Bill Belichick blew off another coach Eric Mangini's wife.  We're not sure what "blew off" means in this book.  It didn't sound sexual but it so enraged Eric Mangini that he almost beat the bleep out of Bill Belichick.  Mangini had to be restrained by a half a dozen assistant coaches.  Then there is the owner of the New England Patriots Robert Kraft who called Bill Belichick.  "The biggest asshole of my life."  Wow.  So like we said it wasn't all roses and lollipops up there, even with all the Super Bowl wins.  Who'd a' thunk it? 

And, sweet, ever smiling Katie Couric who was most recently one of the many Guest Hosts of Jeopardy where she was still ever smiling and sweet, has just written a book.  And in that book she just trashed everyone from Prince Harry who  "oozed the stench of of cigarettes and booze out of every pore" to Martha Stewart to Deborah Norville to OMG Diane Sawyer of all people.  Well, Katie thought they were all turds, even while she was all sweet and smiling towards them. 

Now this might all have to do with the fact that Katie's career hit the skids a few years back and she's now reduced to having a Podcast on Yahoo.  That no one watches by the way.  So, it could all just be sour grapes.  But it could also mean that the sweetness and smiles were just as fake as a whole lot of things we see nowadays and she was just gnashing her teeth the whole time.
