Drew Peterson Engaged To Another Widow-To-Be (Updated)

I don’t know if I am more appalled or amazed at the continuing story of Mr. Peterson. Maybe a little bit of both. Just a year after the disappearance of his 24 year old wife Stacy, Drew is once again engaged to another 24 year old woman. It can’t be his awesome looks or rock hard abs…so what the hell is it?

 

Why do attractive young women find this guy appealing, particularly after they already know that his previous relationships generally end up with the wife being dead?

Maybe I should recap Drew’s track record so far. Drew is currently married to his 4th wife, Stacy. I should say technically married because she has been missing for a year and, as near as anyone can tell, she has been murdered. (Although Drew is not exactly spending his weekends looking for her). Drew’s 3rd wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bath tub in 2004. At the time, her death was ruled an accidental drowning. So I can kind of understand why Stacy was not overly concerned.

However, even at the innocent age of 24, you would think the young lady could work out the math equation. Wives 1 and 2, allegedly beaten on a regular basis. Wives 3 and 4, not so allegedly dead. What can wife number 5 expect? At the very least probably several good a** kicking’s but, more than likely, a date with a blue 55 gallon drum. Hopefully, her parents have a deprogrammer kidnap her and fix her head.

What is most fascinating is Drew’s sociopathic behavior and complete and utter disdain for his fellow man. He is the center of his own universe and we are merely pawns in his game. Even calling him a narcissist would be a compliment. When Drew dies, he should definitely leave his brain to science so they can try to figure out where it all went so wrong.

My hope is that his new bride also has some sort of  “master plan”. How ironic would it be for her to become a widow at the expense of poor Drew? Hopefully, she has been brushing up on her CSI reruns and is up to the task. If not, we will be reading about the terrible tragedy that befell Drew’s poor young wife. She will be lucky to see 25.

Of course it is always conceivable that Drew has just had a string of really, really bad luck. Maybe Kathleen really did die accidentally (in spite of the new evidence found when she was exhumed). Maybe Stacy ran off with a younger man to Mexico and knew that Drew would hurt her if he found out. Maybe Drew really loves this new girl and wants to treat her like a queen.

Eh, who am I kidding? This guy makes OJ look like a good husband.

EDIT: I guess “widow-to-be” actually is incorrect. I just couldn’t think of a catchier way to say “dead wife”.

UPDATE: Looks like fun time might be over for Drew. He is being indicted today for the death of his 3rd wife, Kathleen Savio. This should come as extremely good news to the as yet undead new fiancé.

As always, Drew handled the arrest with class and contrition. “I guess I should have returned those library books,” was his statement as we was being lead away. Stay classy Drew…stay classy.

Presidential Debate # 1

The biggest thing I remember about last night’s debate was how much trouble I was having staying awake. McCain and Obama were both making me incredibly sleepy. I am not sure if it was their tone or lack of enthusiasm but it was like reading a bad book. Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy…

Anyway, here are some things that I did manage to remember. First, how come Mac never looked at Rack? Due to John’s age, my guess is he is afraid to look at black people directly in the eye. It would have been funny if Obama had done a fake lunge at Mac. He would have filled his Depends in the blink of an eye.

As far as Obama goes, when did he first get this stuttering impediment that kept popping up? If I had a nickel for every time he said “and”, I would loan it to the feds and solve the financial crisis today. (Not really. I would keep the money and buy an island somewhere…maybe Great Britain). Plus, stop shaking your head and smirking! People hated it when Gore did it and we still hate it. Knock it off!

Overall, I guess I was just bored with the constant jabbing. Obama should have said, “What constitutes winning in Iraq? You keep saying we can’t afford to lose but how will we know that we have won?” On the other hand, McCain should have looked the half black man in the eye and said, “Why do you vote ‘present’ so often? Have you ever made a gut decision in your life like I so often had to when fighting for my country and my life in Viet Nam?”  

But no, they just gibber jabbered with each other endlessly. Both afraid to offend anyone or throw out something truly unique are creative. Both trying their hardest to play for a tie rather then beat the crap out of the other guy. I did think it was funny when they were comparing wrist bands. McCain: “I have a wrist band.” Obama: “I have a wrist band too!” Pathetic. Gee, I can hardly wait for the next 2 riveting debates.

The other big thing that struck me about last night was after the debate. On every channel I flipped to, Joe Biden was showing up throwing bombs at McCain. After he was done, every announcer would say the same thing. “We invited Governor Palin to join us but she declined.” WTF? She can’t even be trusted to give a 2 minute wrap up to the debate talking about how well she thought her guy did?

I know that, in general, Republicans think as little of women as does the Catholic Church. Still, you guys picked her to be on your team! She can’t sit on the bench forever. The party is making her look like a complete imbecile. She is a nervous wreck when they do let her answer questions because she is scared to death to screw up. She made it to Governor. Seriously, how bad could it be?

I finally did track down Sarah at an Irish pub in Philly

OMG! Look! She was even rocking the hair down, casual look! How could you guys not let her go on TV? Idiots, every last one of them. I hope to God that if McCain loses, Sarah gets a talk show and then they can see what a huge mistake they made by keeping her in the back seat. Republican women…where the hell are you? Oh, that’s right, walking 4 steps behind your man or baking cookies. Wait, you’re not? Then tell McCain to take the shackles off and let our girl fly!
