IRAQ & J.LO
Standing in the supermarket line the other day, I was struck by competing celebrity-gossip headlines: On the cover of one tabloid was happy news of the impending wedding of J.Lo and Ben. On the cover of a second was the news that the glamour couple is in trouble.
"It's just like Iraq," I thought (proving once again that I am seriously weird). One report says everything's going to hell. Another says things are looking great. The evidence is conflicting enough to provide either story line, and both sell papers. The only way the poor reader will know which is right is to wait and see what happens.
Personally, I give Iraq better odds than J.Lo and Ben. Not that that's saying much.
