Love and hate can be blind, and to date, I've mainly turned a blind eye to news on the very important Carrie Prejean front. This is, after all, a story so full of shallow characters that at one point, I actually seem to recall finding myself on the same side as Donald Trump.
But seeing Ms. Prejean attempt to manhandle the "media" or Larry King the other night reminded me of a lesson I learned long, long ago. For as the late great Dewey Cox came to understand, you can never fully ignore The Temptations.

"Rose Darling" for the tape itself - a tribute to onanism.
And speaking of that solitary vice, Elvis Costello's Welcome to the Working Week, which starts out:
Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
and you can have anyone that you have ever desired,
all you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why.

Our subject isn't cool, but he thinks it anyway
He may not have a clue, and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial..."

Mea Culpa, mea culpa. it was just a Momentary Lapse of Reason on my part. Our poet is untouchable and should not be associated with the likes of Miss CP.
