There's Something About Jodi

Jodi's fans outside the Phoenix courtroom react to her "guilty" verdict.
According to independent research, readers of Call Me Madcap!, and thus people in general, care not a whit about the upcoming mayoral race in New York City, something I recently wrote about that attracted only a few readers. What they do care about, still and unbelievably, is Jodi Arias--crazed murderess and drowned rat though she be. My two posts about her, one written back on March 14, still get lots of clicks each day.

It's funny: Jodi did her horrible deed and gets lots of fan mail, TV coverage, and almost royal treatment by the press, who compete for interviews with Her Lunacy. What does that say about us? That violent women are sexy? That any woman in an abusive relationship has the right to kill? That men are evil and deserve to die? What's she got?
