Yesterday morning on Today they did yet another segment on Drew Peterson, the ex-police sergeant whose wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared on October 28, 2007. This time it was about how he wants to start dating again. Say what? Not that this should be surprising. His actions ever since her disappearance have been anything except normal. But of them all, this one disgusted me the most. I guess he made some dumb comment about how he’ll never get a date again. In addition to wanting to say as sarcastically as possible, “Poor baby,” I also have the overwhelming desire to hop … Continue reading →
