The Fast & The Scurrilous

So Portland is all up in arms about our Mayor. Now this post isn't directly about that. We're having our little investigation and we'll see what happens with that. Bottom line, if the kid was 18 when they boned, then it's legal under the law and it's none of our business. Yeah he lied about it. I laugh at those who feign shock that a politician lied to them. As if it was the first time. But he lied about his personal business. And didn't really break any laws. Maybe. And it's a big maybe and we'll know soon enough I guess. 

 Why I bring this is up because HERE we have a sorta similar issue but at the same time, way, way different. And the scandal here isn't that he's so freakin hot and that his teenage bride to be is kinda homely. What is really crazy is how Star Magazine just glosses over when they first started dating. Just completely glosses right over it. Um Star, did you think about the math? They've been dating three years. She was 16 when they met and began dating. He was 35 - 3 = illegal. Unless they waited the two years to have sex. Which I'm sure is the case. Not to mention the fact that Mr. Walker has a 9 year old daughter! So he's marrying someone who is only ten years older than his daughter. All of this is icky. And I just can't fathom how Star just writes this nice little superficial article about it without realizing what it's really about. 

And that brings up another point, we're just hearing about this now? He hasn't been around a lot recently, but he's been in movies in the last three years. I mean, we hear about some celebs every waking hour and every move, but nobody notices the teenage concubine going everywhere with Mr. Walker???  It just double scores my point that Hollywood and the press will keep some secrets for some people. And not for others. People's sexuality is a big one. It'll be an open secret all around town for years, but nobody ever says anything. Until they come out or something big happens and it can't be contained anymore. And I'm sure it happens with all kinds of other things too. STD's, affairs, mental breakdowns, addictions, affairs on top of affairs, inbred lobster babies. It's a whole kooky town!
