The "Real" NJ Drama

 

It is painful to read about Teresa and Joe's indictment drama.  It is difficult to take a side because I think that even if they did something wrong with their tax statements- take a look at them.  They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.  They have allowed their family to be filmed throughout the beginning of their days in their mansion.  Who can forget Joe giving Teresa 100K to spend on furniture.  She took us on the journey on television from season one until now.  We saw the moving into the mansion, the first housewarming, the famous flipping of the table, a tug of hair, a lavish Christmas, bankruptcy, a scaled down Christmas, a family split and a family on the mend.  Do we really need to put these two in jail?  I think they have been the most real of the Housewife franchises and the judge should be able to just view the tapes.

I agree that falsifying tax documents is wrong.  Can't they be given a chance due to their obvious lack of knowledge about most things that involve common sense.  Don't get me wrong here- I love the Guidice's, but they really shouldn't be accused of a crime such as this and actually serve time in jail.  I just read about the big banks like Goldman Sach's settling for a suit in which they didn't have to admit any wrong doing in the financial debacle with the mortgage industry and they had to pay half a billion dollars in a settlement.  That is equal to about three days of a year's profits.  It is sad that there is such inequity in our legal system. 

Come on judge- give the Guidice's a break.  They are our favorite guilty pleasure and they have four cute little girls.  They clearly were not smart enough to hide anything, since they flaunted their riches right in front of America.  They need to pay back they money they owe.  I guess we will have a few more cook books out after this.  Just my thoughts.....

Seizure of umbilical cords?

I have just heard about a law in Mississippi that will require any baby born to a teenage mother who hasn't named a father for the baby to have its umbilical cord analyzed for its DNA. 

I am just going to let you sit and think about that one.......



OK- now this is supposed to put a halt to teenage pregnancy. I guess it is supposed to stop fathers from raping their daughters and having inbreed babies.

I can't think of anything more intrusive than this.  The poor kid has had to suffer for 9 months with the stigma of being another "statistic", then her rights are violated once again for a DNA test.  Is there some magic DNA registry that will automatically prove who the father is?  Is the tea party OK with spending hundreds of dollars for each baby born to have a DNA test, when their whole mantra is less government intervention in our lives?  This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. 

Here is my suggestion to the good people of Mississippi.  I think before every legislative session, each congressman should have their private parts swabbed.  This way we can make sure that they are not fornicating with any prostitutes or having extra marital affairs. Think about how many problems would be solved on Capital Hill.  And we should have a registry for every person in this country with a sample of their DNA.  That way we can catch the criminals much more easily.  We can rule out babies that have genetic abnormalities before they are born. We can run genetic profiles on people and help them with their career choices.  We can reduce insurance costs by getting rid of genetic diseases.  Does this sound familiar?  It is the theme of GATTACA.  Watch the movie and learn something!
