Man is a political animal, not a rational one.
Sexual Hypertension?
By now most of the world is aware that Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together and loving it up, James Bond style, in one of P Diddy's many luxurious mansions. That only leaves the questions "What the fuck is she thinking?", and "Did Brown hit her hard enough to shake loose a screw or something??"

It easy to be judgemental as an outsider looking in. However relationships are often pathological rather than logical. Or they have their own internal logic. Like a war, each party is getting something that they want out of it - even if observers and unwitting supporting players can't help noticing that what they want must be totally insane! To shed further light on this, let's watch a couple of entertaining and informative video's, and see if they can shed some light on the pathology of every day life!
If I'm OK and you're OK, then how come we suck? Two rights make a wrong?
Does that help clarify things?? For my own part I must say that most relationships are a bit of a mystery. Still they seem to have some value. Even the relationship between a matador and a bull must be providing some kind of an emotional pay off or the matador wouldn't get into the ring (for the bull's part he'd probably rather be anywhere else!)- not implying that Chris and Rihanna enjoy such a relationship. I'll leave that to be inferred!
So who needs Oprah? She didn't invent self improvement!
For more on the subject of dysfunctional relationships and co dependence, try reading Dr Eric Berne's excellent Games People Play. As for Chris & Rihanna, I'm sure that their tragically absurd relationship will get sorted out on Oprah soon enough. Dr Phil has probably already been in touch with them. This stuff is right up his alley! Also I hope readers will appreciate that I've treated the subject with due seriousness, and haven't made any hit me baby one more time jokes.
Moonbeams from a larger lunacy
As for Saturday's obligatory sci fi content, here is another episode from the classic series UFO. Dealing with aliens must be fairly straight forward when compared to the melodramatics of human relationships. Though the aliens may be years ahead of the human race technological, we've got one thing they haven't: bloody mindedness! It build this planet. It might yet prove to be the end of the world.
Commander Straker and Col Foster shared a sexual tension that made Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman look like George and Mildred! Of course I don't need to tell you that homosexuality is the subtext of most good science fiction, Michael Billington said as much on his official website! Though Capt Kirk could love a million girls, he always came back to Mr Spock. Now remember to go easy on the space dust, lest you turn your self into a moon bat!
George & Mildred
I'd say that Chris and Rihanna started out like Romeo & Juliet and ended up in tragedy (sorry Mil house), except that they're more likely to end up on Oprah - America's Theatre of the Transmundane! Oh yeah, and one more video dedication for our Romeo & Juliet.
