Video of the Week: Is This Woman For Real?...

Here's my take on Arnold Schwarzenegger's dalliances with what is seeming more and more like a multitude of women: he's a scumbag and deserves no mercy.

That said, I am utterly disgusted by the nerve of any woman who wants to offer an apology after she's admitted to having an ongoing affair with another woman's husband. Granted, it was Arnold's responsibility to protect and respect the vows he took when he made the decision to marry Maria Shriver, but shouldn't there be some measure of dignity and honor coming from these alleged other women as well?

Perhaps my error here is in believing that there should be more respect, as a society, for the sanctity of marriage.

If a man or woman is unhappy in his union, that is not an excuse for infidelity. If it gets to that point, I feel, they need to let their significant other know about it so that they are allowed the option of either leaving the marriage or taking the necessary steps to fix what's broken in the relationship. However, none of that can happen if some lonely heart is waiting in the wings throwing dirt on your vows.

Sure, there are some who, at least in this case, would actually blame Maria for perceived short-comings in her ability to keep her husband close but, on the real, let's be more intelligent about this situation. Any woman who chose to entertain Arnold's demands, with full knowledge of his situation, is simply a woman with poor morals or below average self-esteem.

That being said, I am loathe to have any appreciation for this particular female's audacity in offering up an apology to Maria for "...the mistakes I made in the past and for being intimate with your husband..." and to then have the nerve to ask for forgiveness while in the same breath knowing she's about to try and cash in on her 15 minutes...despicable. If anything, she's happy for the opportunity to make a dishonest dollar off the pain and suffering of others.

Sorry, but there's simply no honor in that act.

Take a look at this woman's interview and tell me if she looks sorry to you.



Give me a break, lady. I hope, for Maria's sake, this classless nightmare ends soon.

Bill O'Reilly: The Internet Is The Devil...And Here's Why

Mr. O'Reilly took the time to weigh in on the whole Arnold Schwarznegger/Maria Shriver ordeal this past week and here is what he had to say about the media's role in presenting the story to the public:



Okayyyyyyyy......

Listen, public figures (especially those born in the 20th century) are well-aware of the microscope they put themselves under when they choose to run for public office. That's precisely why so many of them make it a point to hire image consultants and public relations specialists to help them to project the most positive persona possible.

Schwarznegger, having spent most of his career in the spotlight, was not unaware of this fact when he made his decision to run for the office of Governor in the state of California. So, this whole idea that he is an innocent bystander, in the current media free-for-all on his character, is ridiculous because if there is anyone who knew what such an admission would do to his career, it's Schwarznegger.

Furthermore, I take issue with any argument that would suggest that the media's presence is the reason why many people won't run for office.

Here's the thing, if you are a philandering, dishonest, morally corrupt, individual with no real grasp on human decency, then you probably know that going in and deserve whatever pounding you get once the slithery media snakes get their hands on your information.

By contrast, if you are an upstanding citizen with nothing to hide, then you have no reason to worry about what hair-brained stories the media creates in an effort to make reporting about you more interesting. 

To be fair, I do not advocate sensationalism as a means to sell magazines, newspapers, or internet subscriptions—lies are lies, no matter who tells them, and there should be more of an emphasis placed on telling the truth in media.

That said, Arnold is a victim of his own indecency and I hold absolutely no pity for the way his entrails will be dragged through the waters of public opinion. He made his bed, his maid laid down in it with him, so he's entitled to carry upon himself whatever dirt those sheets accumulated.

It's Not Always Easy Remembering To Smile

Recently, I have abandoned my daily yoga routine. I abandoned it not because it's not useful—trust me it is—but because I haven't been able to find the time to fit it into my busy schedule. However, of late, the lack of it has caused me to spiral back into my daily stress-filled ritual of trying to do too much with too little.

One of the basic mantras of the yoga routine I follow is to remember to "smile" and "be grateful for everything the day hath brought". I often forget to actually smile during the course of a normal day—on the inside, not the outside—because I'm so focused on the outward responsibilities that I have yet to complete.

The solution to my problem is easy enough: I'll just have to get back to my morning yoga ritual. I miss that moment of personal reflection and meditative contemplation—breathe in the positive, exhale the negative.

I must get back to that.
