Sex sells and other stuff

Posted by Pete | Posted in News | Posted on 07-10-2009

Letterman is blowing away NBC in the late night competition. To catch up, Conan probably needs to announouce an affair or some sex hang up, i.e., wearing ladies underwear, or he could model ladies underwear on his show, or some other scheme. Did you read what Martha Stewart said of Letterman…”He’s a very attractive man. Very appealing. Great sense of humor, obviously, and I think all this was done while he was still not married. Although it’s still probably harmful to his wife…But, you know, men are men, I’ve put up with it all.” Whoa, Martha, he had an affair with a woman…What about ” women are women”…It takes two, I think, and I have not read about Letterman forcing himself on the lady involved…As a writer I have never used sex to try and sell a book and I never will. It is not that I don’t think about sex it’s just that, well, you know about it and I know about it, but I want to make other statements, say other things…I write for me and my family and I hope any family member can read my writings, as bad as they may be, and not be ashamed of me…I wish my past was lilly white, but it ain’t, and I am not ever going to write about things you already know about, you don’t need that. You also can probably tell me some stories that will “Make my face turn red”, so I don’t need to write about sex for either of us. I like to write about the “old west” and “when times were tough” and “men were men” and “women were ladies”. That is probably not all that interesting reading, but it satistifies something within me. In 1997, when I had by-pass surgery and it added a few more years to my life, I decided to do a couple of things I had always wanted to do and I asked God to help me fulfil that desire…Write and paint…I have since done both…I forgot to ask God to help me be good at it…But I am still working on it..My painting are improving also. A couple of my grand children have requested a couple of my works and I will give the paintings to them, but I want to give my children first choice, if they want one…How pleased I am that my grand-kids would request a painting. I am honored. So, I thank God for the extended time in my life to do something that will last for a while after I am gone. A request like that from a grandchild is worth more to me than selling a million copies of a book, and folks, those are not empty words…. Well, I don’t watch Letterman or O’Brien, I am doing other things, but I think Conan will come up with something, don’t you?……Thanks for listening…..Pete

Pete,

Don’t be too hard on Letterman, Conan, and other late night talk show lip flappers without giving some consideration to ole President Bill, the greatest stud who ever occupied the White House and mentor of your Governor Bill. He is the one who started it all. After all, as the White House goes, so goes the nation. This is a hard truth, especially in the Age of Obama.

Pete,

I use to watch Johnny Carson, the best of the late night lip flappers, when I use to wait up for Marina to get off from work at 11 each night. I watched Jay Leno for a while after Johnny decided to hang his lips out to dry to do other things, but I soon saw that Johnny couldn’t be topped. Evidently Jay has seen the writing on the wall as well. He couldn’t do it either. The only way that David Letterman and Conan can do it is to follow President Bill with a good dose of sex, excitement, and intrigue. Too bad we can’t bring back Johnny.

Heeerrreees, Johnny..Yeah, we can both miss that…He did have a very good show. Thanks for the comments and for your continued support…Pete
