What's wrong here?

Here's futher evidence that the world is going down the toilet.  A judge in New Mexico has issued a restarining order against Late Night TV host Daivd Letterman, claiming that he "used code words" to convince a woman that "he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host."  The restraining order was issued on the behalf of "Colleen Nestler, who alleged in a request filed last Thursday that Letterman has forced her to go bankrupt and caused her "mental cruelty" and "sleep deprivation" since May 1994."    

Where do I start?  Well, for starters, the judge is a moron.  This woman never met David Letterman, yet, her restraining order says Letterman needs to "stay at least 3 yards away and not "think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering" Lady, you're nuts!  And the judge is a fool!  I don't think David Letterman was sending out brain waves to you, and I don't think he wants you to be his co-host.   I think the issue here is you're a loon.  And the judge, shame on you.   Did an anvil fall on your head the day your granted this restraining order?   Also, since New York is about 2,500 miles from New Mexico,  I'm assuming your order for Letterman to keep him three yards away from this woman means she needs to stay away from the TV at that same lenght.   How about the two of you get your heads check?  Also, does anyone agree with me that if Letterman was really sending out brain waves to this loon, that a simple change of the channel on her TV might have stoppe it?  Mmmm, maybe not, because she's koo-koo.   And I don't think Letterman made you go bankrupt.  Sounds like you have some demons to work out.   Also, I'd like to thank this judge for making me loose futher faith in our justice system. Way to go!!!##################################################################

Letterman subject of restraining order Woman says TV host courted her with code words, gestures

SANTA FE, New Mexico (AP) -- Lawyers for David Letterman want a judge to quash a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe woman who contends the CBS late-night host used code words to show he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.

A state judge granted a temporary restraining order to Colleen Nestler, who alleged in a request filed last Thursday that Letterman has forced her to go bankrupt and caused her "mental cruelty" and "sleep deprivation" since May 1994.

Nestler requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay at least 3 yards away and not "think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering."

Lawyers for Letterman, in a motion filed Tuesday, contend the order is without merit and asked state District Judge Daniel Sanchez to quash it.

"Celebrities deserve protection of their reputation and legal rights when the occasional fan becomes dangerous or deluded," Albuquerque lawyer Pat Rogers wrote in the motion.

Nestler told The Associated Press by telephone Wednesday that she had no comment pending her request for a permanent restraining order "and I pray to God I get it."

Sanchez set a Jan. 12 hearing on the permanent order.

Letterman's longtime Los Angeles lawyer, Jim Jackoway, said Nestler's claims were "obviously absurd and frivolous."

"This constitutes an unfortunate abuse of the judicial process," he said.

Nestler's application for a restraining order was accompanied by a six-page typed letter in which she said Letterman used code words, gestures and "eye expressions" to convey his desires for her.

She wrote that she began sending Letterman "thoughts of love" after his "Late Show" began in 1993, and that he responded in code words and gestures, asking her to come East.

She said he asked her to be his wife during a televised "teaser" for his show by saying, "Marry me, Oprah." Her letter said Oprah was the first of many code names for her and that the coded vocabulary increased and changed with time.

Her letter does not say why she recently sought a restraining order.

Rogers' motion to quash the order contends the court lacks jurisdiction over Letterman, that Nestler never served him with restraining order papers, and that she didn't meet other procedural requirements.

Great Quote!

"Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide."

Have A Hilton Christmas

It's been a while since I've made a post.  I've been slacking off, so let's see if I can pick it up.  I just came across this story about a man in Rhode Island who decided to adore his lawn with blown-up pictures of Paris Hilton as his way of celebrating the holidays.  Dude, why?   This time of year most people put up Christmas lights around their homes.  Some place menorahs in their windows.  Some put up Christmas Trees (yes, it's called a Christmas Tree, not a Holiday Tree).   Paris Hilton isn't exactly someone that strikes me as being lawn-worthy.  In any case, you are a very weird dude.   It appears you put a lot of time and effort into your display.  How about using that same energy to do, oh, I don't know, watching football, or getting yourself a girlfriend.  Obviously, you don't have one.    ##################################################################   Naughty or nice? Paris Hilton display upsets neighbors

CRANSTON, Rhode Island (AP) -- Some people go with a reindeer ornament or an inflatable Santa Claus for their holiday lawn display. Joe Moretti went with Paris Hilton.

Moretti's display features a collection of blown-up images of Hilton adorned with pink lights. In one, she sports a tiny pink top hiding little of her chest, in another, she wears knee-high boots and a sultry pout. Even Hilton's faithful Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, is celebrated in a colorful portrait.

Reaction has been mixed, and some say it is inappropriate.

"If it's offending anyone, I apologize," Moretti, 38, said. "That's not the intent. The intent is to be different and to be creative and let them see a little bit of Hollywood or New York -- bring it to Cranston."

The display includes a list entitled "How to Be a Hilton," complete with tips such as: "An entrance is everything," "NEVER wake before 10 a.m." and "NEVER spend the summer in NYC." A number of cars slowed or came to a complete stop on the busy road as they passed Moretti's house Thursday afternoon.

"It's nothing more than they could see on TV, on normal stations -- or actuallyat school," said Stefanie D'Angelos, 28, who has four children.

Ron Raffonelli, 65, said he would be upset if his young grandchildren came to associate Christmas with a naked woman. He'd prefer the kids to think of Santa Claus.

After all, Raffonelli said, "He's been around longer."
