Honor doesn't go with fools any more than snow with summer or rain with harvest (NLT).
Jessica Cutler and Ana Marie Cox may not be household names for you. I apologize up front for calling them to your attention if you've never heard of them until now. However, they do serve as useful illustrations for today's proverb.
Jessica Cutler is (was) Senator Mike DeWine's mailroom clerk who gained recent infamy for documenting (online no less) her sexual exploits with several men in DC for cold, hard cash. Ana Marie Cox maintains the weblog, Wonkette, which is at best--a profanity-laced gossip column (personal aside here--I actually e-mailed AMC a few weeks ago about her poor use of the king's english--that it totally undermined her credibility. She responded by saying she has received other complaints and was taking it all under advisement--right). Cutler's activity and Cox's proclivity to write about such things have thrown them together in a media love-fest.
The reason I bring these two up is the disturbing noteriety they are receiving despite their immoral and unsavory characters. Instead of responding with outrage at such behavior, many elements of our culture revel in it. So it was refreshing this morning to come across this column by Michelle Malkin: The skanks on Capitol Hill--read it. Malkin understands the truth of today's proverb--the created world models the separation of unnatural elements. Our world should follow suit. You don't see snow falling in July; you shouldn't give a fool the time of day.
