MADONNA FOR PRESIDENT.

I am not one of those Geezers who have an agenda. They were out of agendas when I got to the store. I believe that we should be content with the hand we were dealt in life unless the dealer was named Lucky and wore black and white shoes. The grass in not greener on the other side of the fence especially when you live on the twelfth floor of an apartment building in Omaha, Nebraska. Envy is not a word that you will hear from my mouth since I can’t spell it.

I would hate to be a famous celebrity. Just think about the shallow, empty life they lead while earning tens of millions of dollars a year; surrounded by sycophants who constantly tell them how wonderful they are; fans that worship at their feet; talk show hosts who nod their empty heads at the babble that comes out of their botox lips. Why do people anxiously wait for some big celebrity to do something strange or foolish and then revel in their bad press? Isn’t it possible that Tom Cruise just likes to jump on couches and put down others who take medication? After all he is a Scientologist and knows everything. Mel Gibson seems like a nice guy even though he’s a closet Nazi who hates Jews. Wesley Snipes is being hunted unfairly by the police just because he owes the government 16-million dollars in back taxes which he refuses to pay. Anyone can make a mistake, right? Let’s cut these celebrities some slack and stop beating them up. I don’t think that’s right. Live and let live is the Geezer’s policy.


As an example, I think Madonna is getting a bad rap by the liberal left press. They are so jaded that they are unable to believe that a celebrity would do something out of the goodness of her heart. Everyone is belittling and suggesting that she decided to adopt an African baby as a sleazy publicity stunt. The yellow press claims that she was probably pissed off at the good press Angelina Jolie got by her visits and concern of the plight of African children. I say stuff and nonsense to those suspicious, distrustful press hacks. Did it ever occur to them that maybe Madonna was acting without any thought of publicity? That she really wanted to do something worthy of a star with only one name?

Let’s think about this logically. If this self-effacing, shy, colorless, bashful, and reserved woman wanted some cheap publicity just to further her career she would have pulled out all stops. Instead, she quietly danced with African women, wore a simple designer outfit and brought her own film crew to follow her around. If she was really looking for press coverage – she would have brought her back-up dancers, costume designers and make-up artists with her. Rumors that they couldn’t clear customs are beside the point.

It’s time that we give Madonna the benefit of the doubt. If she chooses to name her new African son, Shecky and enroll him in a Kabbalah pre-school it’s her right and doesn’t prove a damn thing. Good for you Miss or Mr. Madonna as the case may be.
