What a week for news it has been! Between Snowden, Supreme Court rulings, the Zimmerman trial, and Paula Deen, it's hard to keep up! I'm sure all the reporters who were hoping to take a week's vacation in late June have been sorely disappointed.
You know where my priority has been this week in the news cycle...but I've also found myself oddly attached to the Paula Deen story. I would love to give all of my thoughts as to why I find it fascinating that people care that her show was cancelled (as if she is going to be in the bread line any day now - if for no other reason than she already knows how to bake her own bread...)
Anyway...here's an excellent article by Frank Bruni that says it so much better than I ever could.

And to make matters worse for her...Target and WalMart have now dropped Paula. Yes - WalMart. When WalMart (a bastion of the South) says we don't want you 'round these parts - maybe it's time to take a look at yourself a little closer.
Just sayin'...
Scott--You write really well, and you make me both laugh and think (didn't realize I could do both at the same time :)). Thanks.
