Swift Justice

Here are some statistics concerning Taylor Swift:

She has countless looks. You never see her with the same hair or clothing or makeup two times in a row.  She is beautiful every time she steps out.

She is 27 years of age and stands 5'10" tall.

A June, 2017 estimate of her wealth puts it at $280,000,000.

You have every right to like her, or not, or like her music or not.

She has, like most of us, one head, two legs, two feet, two arms and two hands and one buttockular region. 

David Mueller, former radio DJ, had zero business putting either of his two hands anywhere near that last-mentioned region.

She says he did, and she wants $1 to establish her right to keep his grubby mitts off of her.

He says he did no such a thing, and he wants $3,000,000 of her $280,000,000 as compensation for him losing his job after allegedly getting all handsy with her.

To be honest, I'm writing this last week, as the trial was still going on in this matter, so I have no idea how it will turn out.  But I know how it should.

Being in show business is a tough way to make your 280 million; no matter what you might think, it's hard work.  You have to travel from town to town, arena to arena, and do your show, and then, to beat the drum, you have to appear on stupid Morning Zoo radio shows with clowns like this, a man who apparently believes that Taylor Swift will fall in love with his grimy groping hands and marry him and take him away to a land of ease and comfort.

Or maybe he is one of those guys who believe EVERY woman lives for the very chance to have him play her behind like a keyboard. I don't know, I wasn't there, but I know for sure that Taylor has better things to do with a week in August than to countersue this jackanapes. Seems to me she is taking a principled stance here, drawing the line where her own body is concerned.

It used to be that radio people were happy to meet stars. It added a little lustre to their shows, something besides the records and the traffic reports and commercials for used Dodge cars. 

Now this Mueller wants money to make himself feel better, and I hope that having to shell out a dollar to Taylor Swift makes him one dollar short for the dollar menu.
