Post Script

Hard to say which New York Post cover made me more sad this weekend: Sunday's "JFK Jr. Death Fight," in which two reporters I know and like continue to shamelessly cull through Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ill-gotten private diaries, this time revealing intimate moments the Kennedy family went through after its Golden Boy tragically died in a 1999 plane crash with his wife and sister-in-law.

Or Saturday's "Burnie Goetz," detailing the arrest of subway vigilante Bernard Goetz, who was obviously entrapped by a female undercover cop. That the NYPD has nothing better to do than go after a destitute 65-year-old man who was probably just looking for the attention of a woman -- for a "drug" that isn't even illegal in some parts of the country -- is just pathetic. Aren't there some real criminals you could be going after, guys? Even former chief of police Bernard Kerik thinks this war on drugs is bullshit ... now.

Sounds like the NYPD has nothing better to do now that New York City is the fourth safest city in America. (My childhood home of Mesa is No. 5!)

VICE: DOES IT MATTER THAT RONAN FARROW IS GAY?

I have to agree with Michaelangelo Signorile and others who say it's gotten to the point that by NOT writing about someone being gay, it's like saying there's something shameful about it. Would the New York Times have done a lengthy profile on any straight 25-year-old Hollywood scion without mentioning his love life? 

Niether the New York Times nor Vanity Fair mentioned it, but Christopher Glazek if Vice says former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett is Farrow's longtime boyfriend, although he cites Google as his source, writing: "For all I know the situation is more complicated and Farrow and Lovett are in a four-way relationship with an older woman and her female cat."

It's almost hard to say which lawmaker behaved the most reprehensibly during Kathleen Sebelius' appearance on Capitol Hill to find out why the ObamaCare website lauch was such a clusterfuck -- do you hear these assholes DEMANDING she break the law and "join an exchange????" -- but I might give a slight advantage to Rep. Marsah Blackburn, who had the man-sized balls to take a jab at the HHS head for appearing on "The Daily Show" -- to promote the launch! -- yet couldn't even be bothered staying for the hearing she was so worked up about. I'll give you one guess where she went ...
