A survey claims of all the accents in the US, the Southern accent is the sexiest; this survey consisted of people who have never seen “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

Taylor Swift sang at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, but Australian model, Jessica Hart, said Taylor did not fit in on the runway; look for Taylor’s next upcoming single: “Jessica Hart Smells Like a Fart.”

Had some thought on the Incognito/Martin Miami Dolphin bullying scandal.

Our era of well-intended, politically correct, trophy-for-trying acts as gasoline on the fire of bullying.

You can tell the prettiest cheerleader that she should be dating the captain of the chess club because he is so smart, but it isn’t going to happen. People are going to be people.

Bullying requires two things: a bully and a victim. The prior is insecure and bullying makes them feel more important and the latter is generally weaker or sensitive.

You can tell kids words hurt all day long, but the fact is the weird kid with the head gear who smells funny and eats paste is going to be teased.

The meanest and scariest bully at our high school was a tiny little skinny cheerleader. She was popular only because nobody wanted to be on her bad side. Her nasty, mean-spirited little tongue reveled in causing emotional damage. In seventh grade, just as she noticed I was starting to emerge from shy, clutzy and skinny to somewhat athletic, she eviscerated me in the hall just for the fun of it. She loved it.

To paraphrase Doc Holiday describing Johnny Ringo in “Tombstone”, some people are just born with a big hole inside of them and all of the killing and stealing can’t fill it up. That’s a bully.

You can apply all the psychological terms you want, but bullying boils down to either you eat the bear or the bear eats you. So to put an end to the bullying the victim has either to leave or defeat and or humiliate the bully. Counseling? Therapy? Nope. That is why the victims see bullying as so hopeless; if they can’t mentally or physically stop the bully, the cycle of agony seems endless.

The bully’s job is one thing: to make the life of the victim miserable. If the goal of a good human is kindness, than that makes the bully the absolute worst kind of person. 

My question is: what motive did Richard Incognito have to ruin Jonathan Martin’s life?  They played on the same line, they weren’t fighting over the same job. If anything, breaking Martin down with bullying would only hurt the team.

If any good comes from this – and it isn’t going to for either Martin or Incognito – then it is to educate all the kids, including the strong and popular kids, that being a bully is as bad as a human being can get.
