Odom saga … amazing in the extreme

Allow me this brief comment on the saga of Lamar Odom.

He’s married — in a fashion — to Khloe Kardashian, yes, one of those Kardashians.

He once played pro basketball. He was quite good at it. He made millions of dollars. He married the young reality TV “star.” Got his face plastered on tabloids all over the country. He was a fixture on that E! network TV show featuring his in-laws.

Then the marriage hit the skids. He and his wife split up, sort of. Then he goes on his way.

Odom this past week was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. I presume he went there to pay for a good time with one — or more — of the hookers. He took some illegal drugs and passed out.

The reaction from his still-wife? She’s at his bedside, telling the media how much she supports him.

Maybe there’s something I don’t get. If I had done that while married to my wife … hmmm. Let me think. She’d wait for my recovery — probably from some distance — and then file divorce papers on my sorry behind.

There’s something really and truly amiss with today’s popular culture.

Don’t misunderstand me. I want Odom to recover. I just don’t get the family reaction to what this guy was caught doing.

Your thoughts?

Teen denied major prom date

The punishment handed to a Pennsylvania high school student clearly doesn’t fit the “crime,” such as it was.

The misdeed was to ask Miss America, Nina Davuluri, to accompany him to the high school prom. The request came from Patrick Farves, who reportedly had let his intentions be known before Miss America’s appearance at the high school.

School administrators warned Patrick not to do it. He asked her anyway. For that he got suspended, over the objections of Davuluri, who pleaded with the school to allow the boy to stay in class.

Her pleas fell on deaf ears. Farves was suspended and later apologized for asking Miss America to the prom.

What kind of justice is that?

Don’t educators believe in harmless pranks any longer, which is what Farves no doubt intended with his request?

Personally, I have to admire the kid for showing the brass to ask a beautiful young woman out. Of course, she isn’t going to accept. It would open up the proverbial worm can to other students in other schools on her lengthy itinerary of public appearances.

Still … Patrick Farves didn’t deserve a suspension.

Others have taken him up on his prom-date offer, including Khloe Kardashian and some Nevada hookers. Patrick has said “no” to those acceptances.

Good for him. Apparently, Patrick won’t go out with just anyone.
