stop the presses!


headline: franziska heinze of the ‘nudes of wakefield calendar’ accused of misappropriation of funds.  

after reading the editorial i honestly felt that everyone needs to take a breath. 

i certainly understand why franziska’s upset, hurt, even outraged. she has every right to be. melanie shouldn’t have written that, should’ve thrown that letter into the garbage where it belonged. it was a mistake to give it any attention. but that’s what it was: a mistake. she should’ve turned her attention to how incredibly long it takes for road-work to get done around here. 

at the same time melanie did repeatedly point out that the letter was anonymous, that the writer offered absolutely no proof and that franziska’s hard work has precipitated local charities to receive “life-changing” assistance. frankly, i wondered why it’s anyone’s damn business anyway. 

her accuser is most likely some disgruntled, ugly, cowardly, bathdurd who‘s never been asked to be in the calendar. no not me. of course, i have often wondered. i mean, when i get out of the shower and look in the mirror at various angles i mumble to myself: ‘hey, who wouldn’t wanna see this?’ ok, i may not use those exact words but i digress.  

melanie’s made a mistake in judgment. but let’s face it: there’s not a helluva lot of scintillating stuff to write about. but we certainly didn’t need to read that nonsense. we’ve already read franziska like a book and that’s our very good fortune.
