Deadly Sins

  The problem with the seven deadly sins is when you think about it none of them are deadly at all.  Having been guilty of six of them at one time or another (with the exception of murder (so far)) I guess I shouldn't complain. 

  I'm not saying you shouldn't have some time to enjoy the sin, I know I usually did, but if they did in fact kill sooner than later, that would be a pretty good deterrent.   

  Greed is what got me thinking about all this.  If greed killed we would be rid of the worse one third of the world's population: oil companies, insurance companies, politicians, and investment bankers for starters.  Ridding the world of these individuals and entities for which they work would go a long way towards solving the honest, working people's problems.  It would also spare us the ridiculous excuses they make to justify their unending self serving ends. 

  "I don't know what I was thinking," has to be the lamest excuse of all.  Why?  Because everyone knows exactly what you were thinking.  Hugh Grant used this excuse when arrested for soliciting a prostitute while the gorgeous Liz Hurley, his fiancee at the time, was waiting just a few miles away.  Well Hugh, you were drunk and figured sex with a stranger seemed like a good idea.  (Every guy (gay or straight) thinks about sex with a stranger, fortunately most of us realize it's not a good idea.)  As an aside if you solicit prostitutes and see a woman with all of her teeth, appropriate weight for her height, and looks like a natural blonde (or even has her own hair) trust me its a cop.  No I don't know this from experience but rather the johns I represent who think they've found the one girl whose an 8 or above on a scale of 10 who thinks she rather trick for money than put up with a rich guy's BS.  (I have you thinking girls don't I?  ).

  Mariah Carey also used this excuse when it was revealed that she performed for Khadafi's sons for $1 million Washington's.  Well Mariah you were thinking you were a has been, you had blown through most of your dough, and it was either that gig or maybe, maybe $5,000 at the local Elks hall in East Bum F-, North Dakota.  Having seen Mariah interviewed she actually maybe one of the few people who could honestly say, "she didn't know what she was thinking."  I think the question, "what to eat for breakfast" could be a tough one for her.

   She's going to make it right however by donating all the royalties from the sale of her next single.  I just received my first royalty check, $12, for the sales of Drown.  Tell you what Mariah, I'll match you.  I bet I'll still have enough left over for a nice cigar.
