by Brent Kellogg
December 17, 2008
Note: Brent is on his first vacation in something
like 25 years so he'll be away from the Genoa City
Daze for a couple of days. Not that anything in GC
has changed, have a gander at what was happening
just a year ago:
Which is the day's biggest joke? Michael Baldwin
saying he's "developed a conscience", Adam Wilson
thinking Heather Stevens will marry his sorry ass,
or Gloria Baldwin asking why she's being treated
like a "common criminal"?
None of the above? Okay, what about this:
Adam's wedding planner Beatrice meeting with him at
the Jitter Joint, or Beatrice saying there's a
five-day waiting period once a marriage license has
been obtained before the wedding can take place?
You may recall there's a law in Genoa City that
divorced couples must wait six months before
remarrying, but where the hell did this marriage
license law come from? According to Beatrice, it's a
State of Wisconsin law. I'm not going to argue with
her about it, I don't believe there is such a law
because what does it matter how long one waits
before getting married once they have a license?
Oh, did I mention this? Adam planned to marry Heather
in Chicago! For those who don't know, and it would
seem the boneheads who write this shit think there
are such ignoramuses, Chicago is in the State of
Illinois! Only the most corrupt state anywhere, will
Adam's Wisconsin marriage license be good there? If,
as Adam said, the marriage is to take place
"tomorrow", does the 5-day waiting period not apply?
The plan was changed at the last minute with Adam
heading for London instead, but do you see again? Laws in Genoa City/Wisconsin
don't have to be followed by power brokers.
Hate so much being a Newman as he does, Adam asked
if being Victor Newman's son might get him around
the law. No surprise, Beatrice said it would and
she'd make arrangements.
And like you perhaps, I'm wondering how Beatrice did
this. Did she pay off the Mayor? Some flunky down at
the licensing bureau? Here's the thing really
pissing me off. Besides some idiotic 5-day waiting
rule, why must the message of corruption constantly
be sent in this godforsaken city? Isn't it bad
enough that a U.S. Senate seat can be bought and
sold? Isn't it an insult to our intelligence that
the corrupt, sucks us dry with its outrageous fees
and interest rates, banking industry must be bailed
out at our expense? Wasn't the problem for Adam all
along that he couldn't get a job anywhere in the
world because of who he is? Why then would anyone
fix it so he could get around the law?
Also on the topic of corrupt slime balls we have
Michael Baldwin spewing that because he "took an
oath to uphold the law", has a wife and son who
"look up" to him, and that he's since "developed a
conscience" this somehow absolves him of all past
criminal activity.
Earlier this week I asked what the hell Lowell
Baldwin was doing at that warehouse. Here I was
thinking he may have stashed the stolen loot Jana
Fisher gave him there, but no, that money is inside
the teddy bear belonging to Lowell's daughter, Eden.
As a rule I'd say there's nothing wrong with that
except then we had to be told the teddy is no
ordinary bear. Oh. My. God. The bear is special.
Lowell gave it to Eden when she was three. A
teenager now, Eden still carries the bear around.
Isn't that another sweet family values moment?
Isn't it moronic for Michael to whine that turning
his father into the cops would surely result in
Eden's running away and then he might never find his
precious sister again? And then he goes to ask the
D.A. to swear out a warrant for Lowell's arrest? On
what charge? Didn't a court just vacate "all
charges" against Lowell? Isn't there a law about
double-jeopardy? Can that be circumvented too?
