The day has just slipped by. Elliot Spitzer got caught sleeping with prostitutes! If you don't live in NY maybe you don't realize how crazy this is. Spitzer built his whole reputation on crusading against corruption, and then this. It leads me to question, as these scandals often do, what is wrong with people. I mean how can they not think they are going to get caught. I had alway suspected when a preacher or politician who fought gay rights gets exposed as being gay that it had something to do with self hating, but this makes me think again. Perhaps it is more about extreme hubris. I mean between clinton and spitzer and craig, and on and on, these guys just don't seem to think they get caught, which is really bizarre. I mean I am afraid to smoke a cigarette when I go out because I think my wife might find out, but these guys who are in the news every day don't seem to think anyone will notice them having sex in public restrooms or calling high class prostitutes. I guess you need that kind of hubris to get into politics and getting elected reinforces it, but still, freaking crazy if you ask me.

Three very different albums that I would love to write a lot about because they were all pretty good, but I gots to get out of here, so lets say 7.5 out of 9.5 for all three and call it a day.
