Of course, then there’s the comedy relief (equally dumb): “Sure, you could be talking on your cell phone, but maybe you are just scratching your neck for a really long time. Or maybe you just like to feel the smooth surface of the phone against your ear.” OMG, is that funny….wait I’m rolling on the floor so much I can’t reach the keyboard to comment further. But wait, folks, the word “smooth” appears again: “And besides, maybe Maria wasn’t talking on the phone at all. She might just like the feel of the smooth surface against her ear.” Hmmm… what’s going on with the word “smooth” in this writer’s life?

…And then, how did we get two ultimate moral scofflaws in this piece, to wit: “The last thing anyone should do is take marital advice from, say, former Gov. Elliot Spitzer. Or ethics lessons from former Gov. Rod Blagojevich…”? What’s the reference?

‘Well look,’ to spake presidential, this “column” is all over the wall — Too bad “The Daily Trojan” isn’t physically printed in dart board form so one could have a few beers and snick a few darts onto pieces published… this one would collect more than a few bullseyes…
