Time for the Important News


If I take time out from Senator concerns, it should probably be to comment on war, hunger, freedom, disease or environment. The world is pretty much on fire right now. But I've chosen today to blog about a much deeper issue. The sexual blackmail of pop singer Britney Spears.

Her creepy, talentless, estranged husband Kevin Federline has possession of a 4-hour sex tape, starring himself and Spears. He says he'll sell it to someone online for 50 million bucks or he'll be a good guy and sell it for 30 million and future considerations. The futures here would be custody of their two kids. I think guys who extort money from the mother of their children, such as she is, make the very best dads.

Spears was savvy enough to sign a prenup which leaves K-Fed at least out of her financial loop. However, her powers of foresight clearly blacked out as she got her freak on for four straight hours, all on camera with the weasel faced pseudo-rapper.

As much as Federline makes one's skin crawl, one has to admire the length of this film. 4 hours? Titanic was only three hours. For the average guy, this movie would be over in about 4 minutes. Sting and his funky, tantric game plan wouldn't need that much time.

What will Britney do? Based on her choice of husband the answer is...well pretty much anyone. In any event, don't ever say I don't tackle the big issues here.
