\"odom\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Allow me this brief comment on the saga of Lamar Odom.<\/p>\n

He’s married — in a fashion — to Khloe Kardashian, yes, one of those<\/em> Kardashians.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Then the marriage hit the skids. He and his wife split up, sort of. Then he goes on his way.<\/p>\n

Odom this past week was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel<\/em>. 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.<\/p>\n

The reaction from his still-wife? She’s at his bedside, telling the media how much she supports him.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There’s something really and truly amiss with today’s popular culture.<\/p>\n

Don’t misunderstand me. I want Odom to recover. I just don’t get the family reaction to what this guy was caught doing.<\/p>\n

Your thoughts?<\/p>\n
