But privately, I think the whole matter is a little silly. Beauty pageants seem very antiquated nowadays.

Is the media still discussing this story? If so, that's just sad. They should at least have the dignity to drop any superficial reference to the specifics of Carrie Prejean's saga, and focus their attention on what it is that they really want to talk about (the hot button issue that drives ratings) - gay marriage. I mean, is this pretext for discussion of that really still needed - everyone knows what this story is proxy for.

On another note - Donald Trump remains the master of unabashed self-promotion.

Also, am I the last person on the planet to figure out that Perez Hilton is not a female? I'd heard the name before, but just recently figured out that she was a he - how much ridicule will that admission open me up to?
