I guess I'm not sure what all the commotion is about, pertaining to Vanessa Hudgens' nude photo that has popped up on the internet. I would hope that there is no great outcry to remove her from her popular show on the Disney Channel, "High School Musical."
This needs to be seen for what it is. A young lady (over 18) who wanted to send her boyfriend (also over 18) a sexy photograph of herself via e-mail. As we all know, e-mail is not as private as we'd like it to be.
So now the whole world (those who care) knows what Ms. Hudgens looks like in the buff.
Big deal!
This photo (yes I've seen it) isn't pornographic by any means. It wasn't really all that provocative. She is a cute young lady with a nice body. My God, how many fit that description?
The best part is that hardly any of us would have known about this if the National Enquirer hadn't broke this "huge" story. Isn't it a shame? That rag sells better than most of the nation's newspapers. It just goes to show what is important to our voyeuristic society. A society that can't wait to see the career of this young lady go up in flames.
Just where are our priorities?

Ok... I'll write something constructive
I know it seems of late that all I'm doing is shilling a line of t-shirts with stupid little sayings.
Well, you're right...
Fact is, things are going pretty good these days. Not much to complain about. I haven't even recorded a rant in about a month.
This is a sad time of year for me. Summer's winding down, baseball season is almost over and this town goes into shutdown mode as the tourist season comes to a close. Sure, the winter Texans will soon be here, but they just don't provide the same energy to the landscape or the economy.
Fall is a beautiful time to visit the coastal bend area. Temps are still in the mid to upper 80's and beach traffic is considerably less congested.
Football season is upon us. I don't care for it as much as baseball, but I still follow the Cowboys and Texans (that's the team in Houston these days). I even have found myself paying attention to the Texas Longhorns. I never liked watching college football until seeing Texas' incredible season of 2005 culminating in a national championship. Last year was a little disappointing, but I think they can turn it around this year.
With Fred Thomson's announced candidacy for President, it reminds me that I still have no clue who I'm going to vote for. I'm in a tough spot. I support the war effort as long as we continue to fight to win. I am in favor of stronger border security which includes building a wall. You would think any Republican candidate would make for an easy choice.
Not so fast...
I also am in favor of some form of universal health coverage. I think that a system that everyone participates in would make costs lower for all. The cost for this would be based on your current health, not on your income. Fat guys like me and smokers would be expected to chip in more than the healthy folks. Unfortunately, it would have to be a payroll deduction to guarantee compliance, but an individual would still have the choice of the type of coverage and deductible to suit their needs.
Yes, I'm beginning to ramble here. I'll close it out for now.
Remember to buy a t-shirt.
