Is everyone as sick of this fiasco as I am? They both act like two petulant children and what is more disgusting than their tirades is the fact that the media wastes ink and airtime for these dumbbells. This is all for ratings. Doesn't anyone see this? Remember the second season of "The Apprentice"? Trump slashed his former "friend" Martha Stewart (as if he is in any position to be the moral authority of anybody!) I have always found him ridiculous and never bothered to waste my time watching his show, which is in the same category as "Survivor" and oh-so-many other trashy programs on TV.

So, enough already! There is more newsworthy events going on than the "TomCat," Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Trump-O'Donnell stories.

Where are the stories of the role models for young people and children? Can't we focus on those?

About Me

Name: Carole Weldon

Location: Montgomery, Alabama, United States

I am a retired legal secretary and widow. I grew up in Midway, AL and graduated from Union Springs High School (now Bullock County High). I attended business school; went to Atlanta and lived there for 13 years; lived and worked in Silver Spring, Maryland for seven years. I have a daughter and two granddaughters, and am the middle child of five. Both parents are no longer living. My mother was quite a poet and my father was a self-taught musician and a very good one. My 30-year-old nephew, Bruce Evans, was killed in the line of duty with the Jackson County, MS Sheriff's Department on July 18, 2000, leaving a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, ages 8 and 5 1/2, so I suppose that pushes me to make my voice heard about crime and punishment.
