So, what's new?

Right before the big family holidays of the year comes news that the ABC News family has an issue to work out. It seems that Amy Robach, and T.J. Holmes, co-hosts of the "Good Morning America Even Though It's Afternoon Now" show that comes on at 1 PM, have each left their respective spouses and are currently engaged in the age-old practice of running around together, hiding from the public in plain sight.

And do we even know what sort of marriages they had? Perhaps cavorting around with others is all part of the game for them, who knows? On the other hand, their spouses might be devastated by this treachery, in which case, shame on them. 

People are now examining the tapes of their shows from the last several months like Kennedy scholars looking over the Zapruder footage frame by frame, and they are finding times when the two gave each other twinkly looks or said things that ostensibly have to do with operating a news/talk show on a major network, but are, when viewed in the light of currently available information, evidence these two crazy kids (she's 49, he's 45) are doing the hibbidy-dibbidy every chance they get. Recently, they fell into mutual paroxysms of giggling when told that poppy seed bagels can give one a positive result on a drug test. You know, that sort of thing.

Because I didn't just get here the other day, I worked long enough to see couples tossing caution to the winds and having their love blossom all over the workplace. They always think no one knows. They're always wrong about that.

If you read the comments online, most people seem to say that it's no biggie when the same person who tells you stories about political hi-jinx in DC are planning to go home that night and dump their spouse for some real hi-jinx. To me, it's mox nix (a term used to mean "it makes no diffy diff to me," from the German "Es macht nichts," meaning "it means nothing"). These two are paid to, and are expected to, deliver the news, and some information, and some nonchalant banter, and as long as they do that, what they do once they leave the studio is a matter between A and B, so I will C my way out.
