There Will be Nashing

The news industries are an insatiable beast. Raving mad from bottomless hunger. Is Micheal Phelps smoking a little doobie news? There are certainly other, more weighty, issues that require and deserve our attention. The seeming fact that a freshly minted red, white and blue millionaire/elite athlete smokes pot has left many with quite a dilemma. Not the least of which is Micheal Phelps. Whose private toke gone public will undoubtedly cost him literally millions of dollars. Micheal Phelps of a single family home. Micheal Phelps of laser like determination. Micheal Phelps of the 6,000 daily calorie diet. Well, there's one question answered. There will be nashing of teeth. There will be PSA's. Rehab? How about we blame the girlfriend? A visit with Dr. Fraud could already be on the schedule. To his credit he has taken the situation head on saying in a statement, "I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me," Phelps said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public -- it will not happen again." With the beast needing a feeding bigger than most on Mondays Mr. Phelps impossible mission should dominate through the lunch hour, find it's place in the world by the end of the day and by Wednesday will fade.
