Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring

It’s that time of the year again, it is time for the Henotbusybeingbornisbusydying merit badge to be awarded to a man of exceptional virtue and someone who really deserves a pat on the back. After the tube workers who received it last time, is going to billionaire philanthropist Warren Buffett. He’s busy organising how he and Bill Gates can solve the problems of the third world. He’s given the Bill Gates Foundation over $37 billion. So well done Mr Buffett. However, not all are happy, including a certain, Mr J Grant Swank. This is why the internet is wrong it gives people who are crazier than a loon a ‘voice’.

In other news this week and somewhat on a completely different tangent. Aaron Speilling, the world’s most prolific television producer has died. He, somewhat perversely for the millions who digested his programmes, did television that predominately dealt with the lives of the beautiful, rich and famous. He did stuff like TJ Hooker, Starsky & Hutch, Beverley Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Charlies Angles and Love Boat. All a pile of crap (except TJ Hooker on a few rare occasions) but the people loved it. He also worked closely with Heather Locklear on numerous occassions, so can be considered a jammy bastard for that as well.

Before he passed away he should have done a soap based on Warren Buffett’s life who is rich and famous (but not really beautiful), it maybe would have led to more people being generous with their accumulated wealth as of when they leave this world. Who knows.

Henotbusybeingbornisbusydying Merit Badge holders:

• The 2 tube workers who I like.
• Warren Buffett.

(It is just like a Blue Peter badge, except it is a theoretical pat on the back and you don't get a discount in museums and stuff.)
