Adios, Kevin Federline

Like most Americans, I’ll be watching the pundits for the next few days to make sense of the historic shift in the nation’s balance of power. Conservatives, liberals, committed centrists — all will weigh in on the dramatic events of Tuesday, Nov. 7. Red states and blue states alike must come to grips with a changed America. I refer, of course, to the announcement that incumbent Kevin Federline has been ousted from his marriage with Britney Spears. What message is Our Britney sending to America? How should we respond? Do we all share some measure of blame for the global pressure on celebrity supermarriages? Are any of us all that innocent? As for me, I lament that I never got to really know Kevin Federline. Godspeed, Kevin, whoever you are.
