My Thoughts on Michael Douglas and Michael Vick

I was listening to a sportscaster yesterday make a "breaking announcement" about the Philadelphia Eagles signing Michael Vick. And a minute later, I got two phone calls from friends telling me the news. And two emails. It's a hot topic.

This is going to blow up in everyones face.

I mean, Philadelphia is where they booed Santa Claus!

Eagles coach Andy Reid said a few days ago the team had no interest in him.

The two people I really feel sorry for is Tony Dungy, the former coach and wonderful human being. He's taken Vick under his wing. And when he realizes Vick isn't a "changed man"...boy is he going to be disappointed.

The other person I feel bad for is Donovan McNabb. This guy has been a great quarterback for so long, and he's had people like Rush Limbaugh knock him. And now, he has to wonder if Vick has been brought in to take his job.

PETA apparently seems to be behind Vick, because he's doing and saying the right things. So what! Vick and his brother, have been doing illegal stuff for so long, I find it doubtful that he's really changed.

Sure, he might not breed dogs to fight. But I wonder how PETA will handle it the first time they see Vick out at a club, wearing a leather jacket, nice leather shoes, with a matching leather belt. They'll quickly jump ship.

Now, the Douglas family. There was a time they were in the news as often as the Baldwin family is now.

Michael Douglas once checked himself into a clinic for an addiction to sex. And, after he divorced his first wife, he went and married Catherine-Zeta Jones. Now, if you have an addiction to sex, maybe that's not the right person to marry. That's like someone in AA getting a job as a bartender.

I seem to recall one of Michael's brothers was always running into problems with the law. But now, it's his son Cameron that we're hearing about.

He was arrested, and I believe serving a house arrest of some kind. And his girlfriend did what most great girlfriends would do.

No, I'm not talking about a trip over for a conjugal visit. She brought him 10 packages of heroin.

And where did she hide this?

Wanna take a guess?

No, not there!

She hid it inside an electric toothbrush.

Now, I've never used one, but are they really that thick?

I also wondered how it was that this was discovered. If you are held in "house arrest" I didn't know the things coming into your home were searched.

If Douglas does go to jail, I'm guessing his girlfriend will bring him a toothbrush shaped like a saw.
