IYW For 2007

Hey folks,

It’s Sunday. Time for the IWA. But not only is it Sunday, it the first Sunday in January 2008. That means it’s time for the Idiot of the YEAR award, or the IYW.

For those of you who may be new here, this is the time that we go back and look and all the idiots of 2007, and come up with a winner. The biggest idiot of 2007. This is always hard. There were a lot of Idiots, from all walks or life. Sometimes, there are quite a few that deserve this honor.

In 2007, we had Politicians, Priests, and normal people. We had a Father who advocates underage drinking and Mothers who allowed their Daughters to self destruct reaping benefits of fortune and fame from it. The Mothers are in the top 5. We had OJ, for the THIRD time and last years IYW winner. He was in the top ten. Even Cindy Sheehan made the list.

So the Top Five broke down like this

5- Cindy Sheehan - IWA for Sunday 071507
4- Eunice Spry - IWA for Sunday April 22, 2007
3- Monsignor Tommaso Stenico - IWA For Sunday 101407

OK, so we are down to the last two. This one wasn’t exactly difficult in deciding the bigger Idiot. They both, not only effected more than just themselves, but others as well.

Number two, and the runner up is none other than our favorite Stanton Peele - IWA for Sunday 093007 Remember him? This is the guy that advoctes underage drinking so that kids will not be drunks later in life? Idiot.

But this years winner is more than deserving of it. Actually, I’ll tell you the truth. What made my finally decision was the front page of the papers YESTERDAY. I looked down at one of my favorite coffee stops and thought I saw a misprint. It said “Brit To Be Tied.” in big bold letters. I thought to myself, how could you miss THAT misprint? Then I saw the picture. It was Brittany Spears tied up in the straight jacket, or something like that, on her way to some hospital, or mental health place. According to the story, it seems that her “Babies Daddy” came to get the kids. Some Idiot Judge ACTUALLY gave them joint custody. She refused to give them up. When the police arrived, she was reported to be “On Something,” so they hauled her off.

This brought back to mind our IWA Winner For Sunday 122307

Now I said this, then.

But in these cases, Britnay and Jamie, who’s to blame? Lynne Spears. Plain and simple. She even admitted it. Congratulations Ms. Spears, for caring more about what your daughters can do for you, fortune and fame wise, then you do about your daughters well being, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. Good luck on your new book.

Yup, she wrote a book, produced a movie, and now, is writing a PARENTING book. Who in their right mind is EVER going to buy a Parenting book from this idiot? I know, some of you thought I was a little hard on her. I do not think I’m being hard enough.

OK, Joshua is two and a half. I have a long way to go. But NOW is when I am laying the foundation of Right and Wrong. As well as the fact there IS Right and Wrong. Now is the time I start showing him the way to go. But he is not, and will forever understand I am the Parent, and HE is the child. I know I’ll deal with the things most parents deal with. A rebellion stage, pushing the envelope, making bad decisions, ETC. These are a time of learning. When he becomes of age, get’s a job, moves out of the house, THEN, he will have the complete freedom to live his live as he wishes. Until then, Daddy rules.

Lets say that I have done all that I could do, he decides to go down the wrong path. It will be his choice at that time. I will STILL try to help him. But ultimately, the final decision is his. But I’ll tell you this, he has kids? I feel that the kids are in a destructive environment? You better bet your house on the fact I will do ANYTHING I need to do to get my Grand kids out of it.

Lynne Spears, just does not seem to care for either the well being of her own kids, nor her Grand kids. She is too busy collect money and acquiring fame off her Daughters. Plain and simple again. I mean, really, to make a statement like, “I didn’t raise my children to have Hollywood careers. This all just exploded in my face, and big dreams became big headaches,” makes one ask then, how did they get into it?

Then you said this.

“I wish I’d been there more while she was touring,” Spears says. “But I couldn’t be. I had the other kids to look after.”

Did a great job with Jamie Lynn, don’t ya think?

Then THIS statement.

“I have no idea how she got pregnant because she doesn't break curfew.”

Shows that maybe you are too ignorant to BE a parent. But, I think I’ll stick to the whole, fortune and fame thing.

Congratulations Lynne Spears, for allowing one of your Daughters to self destruct to the point they just hauled her off tied up to a Hospital, allowing your second Daughter to date and have sex with an ADULT, leading to a pregnancy, and then truly believing that people want to read a “Christian” Parenting book by YOU? You receive what you crave so much, yet another vote of recognition. Yet another award. You ARE the IDIOT OF THE YEAR {whistles blow, bells sound, confetti falls} One question. What should we expect for your other child?

IWA For Sunday 122307

Hey folks,

It's SUNDAY! Time for the IWA. This weeks winner just boggles my mind. The fact that anyone is EVER going to even think about buying her new book boggles it even further. Parent of the year? Well, if Putin can get Time's Person Of The Year, then I guess she may qualify.

Yes, of course I'm talking about Lynne Spears. Mother of Britany and Jamie Lynn Spears. So what's my problem with her? What's not? Truth is folks, Britany and Jamie Lynn are in the situations they are in BECAUSE of HER. She failed as a parent, but that's just the beginning.

Now I understand some of you out there for compassion sake, or just have no clue what it is to be a parent, may have a problem with this one, but it doesn't change the fact that Lynne Spears IS to blame.

Remember when Britany first came out. Sweet, innocent, little girl with a couple of hit songs? Then BAM! At an awards show, she ripped off her cloths, well, the rest is history. Kid after kid, drugs, alcohol, running around without panties flashing everyone. Back on Nov. 9, 2007, MSNBC -Lynne Spears takes blame for Brit’s troubles

NEW YORK - Lynne Spears say she’s responsible for her daughter Britney’s troubles.

“I blame myself,” she tells Life & Style Weekly magazine.

“What mother wouldn’t?”

EXCELLECT! Taking credit. She got a lot of support for this. People had great compassion on her for taking credit.

“I wish I’d been there more while she was touring,” Spears says. “But I couldn’t be. I had the other kids to look after.”

Did a great job with Jamie, don't you think?

Spears, the mother of three children with ex-husband Jamie Spears, is writing a memoir about raising her family in the public eye. “Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” is set for release May 11, which is Mother’s Day.

That's not a joke folks. As a matter of fact, according to US Magazine - Yes, It's True: Lynne Spears to Write Parenting Book

Britney Spears’ mother Lynne Spears is writing a book on parenting for Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

Christian? What is Christian about the way she par,,make that FAILED in parenting these two girls?

“We’ve signed her to a deal,” a spokesman for Thomas Nelson tells Us. The book, which will be coming out next Mother’s Day is titled Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

“It’s a parenting book that’s going to have faith elements to it. I don’t think it’s totally been written yet,” says the publisher’s rep, who expects the manuscript by December.

{Sigh} Back to MSNBC

“I didn’t raise my children to have Hollywood careers. This all just exploded in my face, and big dreams became big headaches,” says Spears, who recently reconciled with her 25-year-old pop singer-daughter after a period of estrangement.

So HOW did they get into the business? Did someone sneak up to the bathroom window while Britany was singing in the shower and say, SHE has to sing? OH YEAH, it was Mickey Mouse. Wasn't she on the MMC? Who got her in the business MS. Spears? Did you object? Most likely the same amount you object to all the money you are making off your kids.

As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING you seem to do, is an attempt to make MORE money off your kids. What about this? According to IMDB - Lynne Spears

This 2004 TV-movie is based on Britney and Lynne Spears' novel "A Mother's Gift", and was co-executive-produced by the pair. The heroine, Texan teenager Holly Lovell (played by Lindsey Haun), is an aspiring singer and Britney fan - she has a poster of the notorious pop princess on her bedroom wall and Ms Spears' song "Stronger" appears on a number of occasions and in several guises.

This was all about Britany. This was all about Lynne Sprears. I guess you can now do a novel about a teen TV start that gets pregnant at 16. Right?

So you, Ms Spears, said you could not take care of Britany because you had other kids to raise. So, let's talk about Jamie Lynn. You are pushing for another cut of big money, uh, I mean, you are helping your underage daughter further her career in TV. How did SHE get in the business? Anyway you also said that you have no idea how she got pregnant because she doesn't break curfew.

So let me get this straight. You set a curfew for you 16 year old daughter, when she is not bringing in more money for you, yet you allow her to date an 18 year old? Is that not statutory rape in you state? Are you planning on doing anything about that?

Now folks, I realize that Jamie will not be fired from Nic. They will exploit this for all they can get out of it. I know that Lynne will not do anything about the ADULT getting her child pregnant. I also know that the Mass Media LOVES this stuff.

A comment is still ringing in the back of my head from Greg Moseley, 18, said he was sick of hearing the name Jamie Lynn Spears. “Why do we care about Britney Spears’s little sister?” Mr. Moseley said. “Why does it make a difference? What does it mean? Nothing.”

EXCELLENT POINT! We as a society tend to do this all the time. We allow some of these dysfunctional stars to dictate to us what WE should think, how we should act, ETC. It's like, "I played a Doctor on TV so I know about this situation and you must listen to me." Or "I played the President, so I know about foreign policy." "I'm and Actor who is sick, so you must listen to me." ETC.

Who cares? Apparently, and sadly, a lot people. So when one of these "Stars" start having a bad influence, they should be corrected or removed from being able to do any more harm.

But in these cases, Britnay and Jamie, who;s to blame? Lynne Spears. Plain and simple. She even admitted it. Congratulations Ms. Spears, for caring more about what your daughters can do for you, fortune and fame wise, then you do about your daughters well being, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. Good luck on your new book.
Peter
