Sasha's commentary for 18 January 2013

I know you guys have all missed me the last three days!!! 

But here's the news.

First, I'm confused on two new things in the news: Can anyone explain to me about Manti Te'o thing? Was he behind the hoax thing? I'm confused. And the big murder trial that happened this week?

-Turns out that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have a new fan-in Michael J. Fox. The Back to the Future and Family Ties star has made it clear. Taylor Swift, you ain't welcome. Quoting the geniuses at ABC:

At last Sunday’s Golden Globes, host Tina Fey joked to Taylor Swift, ”stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son,” who attended the awards show with his father.

Now Fox is giving her the warning too. At a book party for Ann Leary’s “The Good House,” the ”Back to the Future” actor told Vulture magazine he doesn’t want Swift dating his 23-year-old son Sam.

“No. No … Just back off,” Fox reportedly said. “I don’t keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career.”

 Now that's the kind of dad I want to be when I have (IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH *cough* *cough*) kids.  And TSwift, as I'll call her in my blogs from now on, is no more a baby cougar. So that makes me a baby cradle robber-a guy in his early 20s who goes for the 18-22 crowd. But unlike Swift, I have limits: if (a) parent(s) want me to stay away from their child, I will be more than happy to do so. When you date someone, you date their family too. And TSwift has had...like thirteen different flings???
-Pat Robertson, if you can, shut up now. Your comments make you look like a damn fool. I've had crushes on girls who are a little plump. It's the face that matters most. And eyes. Rarely do I go for girls with brown or black eyes. And with any girl, there's that one thing about her that attracts me to her like a magnet. Sometimes it's being a cheerleader. Other times it's being a really great oldest sister. And Pat Robertson believes that people with a spouse with Alzheimer's should be allowed to divorce due to the spouse's condition. Nice one, PAT. He's a monster. 
-Jenelle Evans is having her second child. She's one of those 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom nightmares (thanks MTV/VIACOM, who I want them to buy my idea for a show, it's happier and teaches morals and makes for good reality entertainment) who has, even with her oldest not in her care, still manages to find an excuse to have another child. Bad idea. 
-I THANK GOD I don't live in North Dakota. I already have a hard time finding a date at it is being on the autism spectrum. But that doesn't mean I'm a quitter: maybe I should take up kickboxing. However, I like having teeth, and I've already have had a mishap once in my life on a boogie-board. But honestly, if the stories coming out of Williston, North Dakota are true, I'm a little concerned for where the world is aiming. I thought men were proper, but some of the stories from this article are bothersome.
-That "Aluminum Digger" thingie is creepy. Just saying.
-The New York Times is almost acting like the Onion. Wow. 

One of them is believed by the authorities to be a mob associate who extorted owners of garbage-hauling companies in New York City suburbs. The other is believed to be at least 542 years old, very short and wise, with blue skin and a white beard.

-American Airlines has a new look. There's no link to their 1969 livery. I cry a little inside.
Kudos to this 27-year-old from Virginia for sticking up for cancer survivors. May Victoria's Secret do good on this.
Three-fourths of American voters want term limits. Out with the old, in with the new. With room made, I could be the first person on the autism spectrum elected to major political office. But politics is like crack: it's a hard habit to break.
And I leave myself with this: is there such a thing as a really pretty girl who can't manage to get a date no matter how hard she tries? If you're a girl like that, feel free to send me a shout-out. At least I'm...okay, I should NEVER compare myself to Taylor Swift. Bad idea.
