Jennifer Lopez shows her best side

Two events reported by Yahoo News on the same day. One proclaims that Jennifer Lopez is showing off her tired old gash again. The second reports the death of Col. Richard Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. This happened in the opening months of WWII.

I really didn’t expect a different outcome. I don’t know how many folks clicked to see the overworked, calloused better side of Ms.Lopez, but 1046 felt compelled to comment.

Heroism is passe. Only 116 people felt obligated to comment on Col. Cole’s passing. Rest in Peace, Col. Cole.
