Exchange of the day

Paraphrased from the web ...

ADAMS' LAWYER: Kissing is not sexual activity.

READER: In that case, send over your 17-year-old daughter, I'd like to put my tongue down her throat.

Yes, this has gotten so extreme and bizarre that it's dark comedy. The image of our mayor with his tongue down the throat of a 17-year-old in the City Hall john. What makes it comic is his contrite demeanor, forever hiding as much as he can, looking all the more foolish when more details emerge. Our mayor, forever the manipulator, still hoping to retain office by lying, hiding, denying. Will he eventually see the light? Or will his backers join the chorus of the lawyer, "kissing is not sexual," not even if it lasts one-minute in the City Hall john ha ha, o what fools we mortals be. This is better than the afternoon soaps.

If he doesn't resign today, he is an idiot -- but then, he's already demonstrated that.

Meanwhile, with so many screenwriters in this town, surely several by now are working on Sam Adams, the Movie of the Week. If I were younger and not so busy, I'd jump in myself -- only I'd write, SAM ADAMS, THE MUSICAL. Already have two numbers! KISSING IS NOT SEXUAL and DON'T CALL ME A STEREOTYPE.
