Palin Needs to End Her PR War With Her Daughter’s Ex: Family Matters Should Be Settled Privately

I’m getting a little sick of hearing about Sarah Palin and Levi what’s his face (her daughter’s ex) exchanging insults and publicly posturing in the media.

They really need to take the media out of the equation and settle things privately, like most families do. All one has to do is pick up the phone and call the other, not get on Oprah or some other talk show and issue statements that are picked up by the mainstream media, which leads the other to call a press conference and respond.

We don’t care about the details; just settle it and keep it out of the media circus.

If Palin is serious about running for office, she really needs to wage her battles much more discreetly; she’s handing ammunition to the opposition.

Foreclosed Property, Former Owners and New Owners: Who's to Blame More?

I was reading this Fox News story about a former homeowner stalking the family who bought his foreclosed home.

It started when the former homeowner couldn't keep up on his $532 a month mortgage payments and lost his home. He filed a legal appeal just before the auction was set to begin, then showed up at the auction to try to stop the sale. He was unsuccessful, and a developer bought the property, who then sold it to the current family.

And since then he's allegedly been stalking the family and has been charged numerous times with assault on the original investor, and trespassing against the current homeowners. And every time the charges were dropped because it was ruled that he was incompetent to stand trial, leaving him free to harass the family to the breaking point. It has been going on for eight years now.

And the family recently gave up, moving out of the house and losing much of their investment.

What a sad story. The legal system won't prosecute the guy, won't institutionalize him and won't intervene to keep this family safe. It isn't their fault that the original homeowner lost the house.

The former homeowner is a serial stalker and needs to be dealt with by those who have the power to get him some help. Someone needs to take some responsibility down there.

WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit and His Family Found Dead Today: Called in Yesterday Saying Family Was Very Sick

Chris Benoit
1967-2007

World Wrestling Entertainment broke the news tonight that former WWE Champion and superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, and his young son were found dead in their Atlanta-area home today.

Benoit had called in to the WWE office on Sunday, saying he and his family were very sick and were spitting up blood. Authorities were investigating the situation, but said that there was no evidence of violence. Those are just preliminary reports.

WWE canceled it's live show tonight and dedicated the entire broadcast to Benoit's memory. Benoit was trained by the legendary Stu Hart, father of WWE great Bret "the Hitman" Hart and the late Owen Hart, who died after a fall from the ceiling of Kemper Arena in Kansas City a few years ago.

Why do these guys die so young?
