Regular readers will know that I have expended a fair number of electrons on the college cheating scandal. I am not sure why. Maybe it is just a schadenfreude thing. Maybe I just feel some sort of vague cosmic connection to Lori Laughlin because I like the Hallmark Mystery Movies. Maybe I am just surprised by how stupid rich people can be.
The rumor mill is now saying that Lori Laughlin's daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, are pissed because mommy and daddy won't take the plea deal. The problem is, their feelings seem to mostly be triggered by self interest. Not only will a trial have a major effect on them personally it is not impossible that they will be charged as well if mommy and daddy don't fall on their swords.
Two young women who are so vain, self-involved and shallow that they would be happy to send their parents to the slammer to avoid becoming inconvenienced themselves just don't impress me. Its a shame their sponsors have left them. Now maybe they will have to get real jobs, instead of being paid just for being famous.
My sympathy is limited in the extreme. Does that make me insensitive?
