Old MacDonald Had a ...!

Oh, I couldn't resist this. I am going to touch upon an earlier rant about the Jeffrey MacDonald (Green Beret from 1970) case only because it is such exciting fodder for an animated discussion. I recently wrote a public comment about the current and still living Mrs. (Kathrynn) MacDonald. I call her that to distinguish her from the former and dead Mrs. MacD. I offered Kathrynn several ways to defray costs and ease her financial plight - stuff far more exciting and creative than simply propping herself and her husband up and begging for bucks as they are wont to do. She never indicated whether or not she was going to incorporate many of my good household hints, but she DID begin to visit this site - endlessly - every day - often. She would even go repeatedly to "static" pages, things that never change. Then I got bored with seeing her IP address so often, so I blocked her. Aha! Two days later she popped up again from another IP. Yep! I blocked that, too. There were even two law firms that came-a-surfing! Heck, I didn't block THEM, I called them and asked what was up.

I do so enjoy tossing that ball of yarn to the kitten. They play, pounce and romp so readily. But then ennui sets in and I need to move on to more provocative and intellectually stimulating stuff. Ah - Yes, I started researching how much the MRS. would be worth to folks in a sort of legal game of "Sue Me? I Counter-Sue! YooHoo!" Yes, indeedy, that happy couple was apparently SO hard up for the long green that they tried to threaten and intimidate me and another woman via an attorney. Wow! Wouldn't you think they have more important things to do? Well, to be prepared, I decided that I might need to line up my own little reciprocal lawsuit duckies.

Let the research proceed and guess what? GOOD NEWS TO MR. AND MRS. KATHRYNN (Jeffrey's identity got sucked up into her photo ops and interviews long long ago) -- THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY BEGGING OR FUNDRAISERS! Awww, pshaw - 'tweren't nothin'! Y'all can thank me later! Mrs. Kathrynn (does she really NEED that extra consonant?) has about $200,000+ in equity in her house. That 4 bedroom condo CAN BE REFINANCED AND THE $$ can cover legal fees and all that. And that drama school ought to be worth something. Unless, of course, she needs to fork over the real property to other people? I hear that any one of her previous spouses might be interesting persons to have a good ol' down home chat with. Gee, maybe Rajeev or Steve or Steve? Yes, folks, Jeffrey thought HE was the clever one in marrying into money, but in fact it was Mrs. Kathrynn all along who struck paydirt.

Besides, Jeffrey is merely spouse #3 or 4. Who knows which? Who cares? She has a penchant for drama and now is not limited to the bourgeois confines of a small town kiddy theatre, but rather has a much wider audience in national t.v. and print media. A media maven, she ain't - except perhaps in her own teenytiny world. Anyway, she has her bases covered. If Jeff falls out of love - something that appears to be a standard m.o. for the guy - then she can try to win the heart of Larry King or just use the contacts she made from the MacDonald blah-blah-blah case to line up some local talk show opportunities right there in her little town. So, we have to see if she has put her overuse of the personal pronoun "our" (meaning she and Jeffrey)into meaningful use...such as on the title to her house. Last time it was checked, the records show that "Chez Kathrynn" was steadfastly enjoying the personal pronoun "hers".

So why ARE KatWoman and you-know-who sending out requests for money? Methinks they should empty their OWN wallets and Gucci bags first! C'mon, kids, America wants to know - Are you two in this "for keeps" or for mutual self abasement? (No that is nothing sexy!) The shameless self-promotion should, in itself, merit yet another life term for the ol' doc and the cancellation of any cosmetic inmprovements that the faded prom queen desires. Come to think of it, a few botox injections MIGHT just give her that wide-eyed look she aspires to unsuccessfully. "Old ingenue" is an oxymoron. We already know about the moron part.

Somebody - please tell this duo to pull the plug on -- well, on something. Just, for the love the Good God Almighty, STOP TALKING! Ay! Ay! Ay!

Lucia, I have one question. I'm sure you have answered it many times over but I'm new to this site. I know where you stand on what you think of Jeff, but do you still believe of Jeff's innocence? Do you believe he's innocent but is just attention getting jerk?
