Say What?

During one of the morning sports flashes on our local sports news/talk radio stations, the announcer for national news said that Tom & Gisele Brady (Bundchen) have been served a lawsuit for $1 million for "negligently hiring" a security team for their wedding. Apparently, and allegedly, one or more of the security team fired at paparazzi during a post-wedding party in Costa Rica.

None of the soul-stealing sleeze weasels were hit, but it was, of course, a very traumatic experience for them which caused "mental harm."

Now, please look at the basis of the lawsuit in the first paragraph.

Negligently hiring.

Think about that for a minute.

Negligently hiring.

So, according to the lawsuit, Tom & Gisele Brady (Bundchen) were negligent when they hired a security team to make their nuptials and post-nuptial celebration as private as possible.

In a perfect world, a judge would look at this for one second and toss it out with some sort of reprimand for the "injurees" seeking a nice pay day.

But given some of the decisions handed down by those who wear the robe over the last fifty or so years, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see this go through.

What a country!

A Blog Entry Just to Blog

The time between entries is growing longer and longer.

That's OK. I don't make money from this blog. I don't have any regular followes of it.

All the same, I still feel a little guilty when I ignore or forget about it.

Don't know why.

It's mid-September. Red Sox are looking to clinch the wild card spot in the American League. The Patriots played their first game with Brady back in as quarterback for the first time in a year. They squeaked by in a heartbreaker for their opponents, the Buffalo Bills.

School has started. It's time for apple picking again.

My kids have birthdays coming up - both boys were born in September. Hey, talk about efficient, eh?

Besides the normal changing of seasons, there's not much different going on.

But at least it's a blog entry.
