The Blue Wall of Idiocy: Drew Peterson

Drew Peterson has finally been arrested and charged with two counts of murder in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Salvio. Peterson has eluded arrest for Salvio's death for four years after it was ruled an accidental drowning after a friend found Salvio's body in a dry bathtub. After the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, attention was brought back to Salvio's death. Her body was exhumed and a second autopsy was performed. After finding a gash on the top of her head, the medical examiner ruled Salvio's death as a homicide.

Since the disappearance of his fourth wife, Peterson has made every effort to show his blatant disregard for both of his wives and for the children that he has with both women. His ability to cover up Salvio's murder and Stacy's disappearance for so long no doubt has something to due with his past as a police sergeant. After Stacy's disappearance, Peterson went on a media frenzy to inform the public that Stacy left him and the children for another man; however, none of her belongings were missing. Nor is there a missing man being reported either.

Peterson seemed to be fully aware that investigators would arrest him and enjoyed flaunting his guilt via the media. He found another young woman to charm and brainwash who agreed to be his wife. I witnessed the power of Drew Peterson win his new fiance went on the Today show with her father to declare that she had broken up with Peterson. Two days later, she appeared again with Peterson in tow, claiming that all was well. It appears that Peterson may have confessed his role in the murder of Kathleen Salvio to Stacy, causing him to feel the need to "eliminate" her as well.

Peterson sits in jail with a $20 million bond; however, his attorney is currently attempting to get this amount lowered. If the Judge honors this request, Peterson claims he will be able to make bond. I hope the Judge sees through Drew Peterson's b.s. and brings the hammer down upon him. In my history as a court clerk, bailiff, and paralegal, I have learned one thing: A cocky ex-cop is a guilty ex-cop.



Stacy Peterson remains missing; however the investigation remains open.

Miss Anti-Gay U.S.A

A topic hot on everyone’s lips today is Miss U.S.A. and her anti-gay marriage “cause”. Whether you agree with gay marriage or not, I am sure you can agree that when one goes on an anti-anything media tour, you better not have any skeletons in your closet. Not only does Miss Carrie Prejean have skeletons, but she is a walking talking poster board for what not to do at pageants if you have any realistic hope of winning. Miss Prejean answered the original question asked of her by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton with an answer that showed her lack of intelligence on the subject of gay marriage; as well as her inability to think before she speaks. After enraging almost the entire country with her answer, the beauty queen stirred up a media frenzy to earn support for the cause of straight marriage. I was unaware that straight marriage was actually a cause that needed to be fought for. I am aware of the ploys and P.R. stunts that everyday “nobodies” use to get their fifteen minutes of fame, however; and Miss Prejean has pulled out all the stops to climb the ladder to fame.

Carrie Prejean’s sudden defense of Christianity and the sanctity of marriage prompted others to hop on the bandwagon as well. I get the impression that those same people quickly hopped off as soon as they discovered that Miss Christianity U.S.A. has breast implants and had previously posed, underage, for some topless photos. She then admitted to the pageant panel that she had posed for the photo in her efforts to obtain employment as a Victoria’s Secret model. Someone should let Miss Prejean know that just because Victoria Secret models often wear angel wings it does not mean that the ladies are going to heaven. She then assured them that this photo was the only one of its kind in existence. For whatever reason, the pageant panel seemed to be willing to accept this farce of an excuse while they figured out what to do with her.

A new topless photo has emerged of Miss Christianity U.S.A. and I am sure she is scrambling to come up with ways to redeem herself while staying on the forefront of the media. The Miss U.S.A. contest is not meant to be a stepping stone for Christians to spread “the word” or to push one’s beliefs onto others. The Miss U.S.A. Pageant is meant to be a contest of beauty, not brains. Miss Prejean should have kept her mouth shut and continued to do what she does best which is showcasing her outer beauty. Prejean has certainly proved that this is the only form of beauty that she possesses.
