Though it's been years since Lynda Carter was Wonder Woman she still manages to get into the spotlight from time to time. She recently released that easy listening CD, that made it to No 10 on Billboard jazz charts. She's done some stage work. Oh yeah, and she's had her brushes with the law.Now Wonder Woman is no stranger to brushes with the law - she did lead a life of crime on prime time TV. However her scraps went well beyond the campy antics of the beloved 70's superhero series. In the 80's her husband Robert Altman, Clark Clifford's law partner - not the Hollywood producer, was implicated in some misdoings involving the BCCI. BCCI was an Arab fronted paper tiger bank that consisted mainly of sub corporations and pyramids schemes, but no actual assets. Altman was eventually found not guilty - much to Carter's public delight. Cynics felt that the verdict was due mainly to hi powered Washington connections, an ace legal defense team that could've gotten OJ Simpson acquitted and then elected pope, and the fact that even forensic accountants couldn't decipher what the hell was going on at BCCI. Still it never hurts to have a wonder woman in your corner!
Lynda settled back into the quiet life of a full time Washington power wife and part time singer/performer. She developed her cabaret act. She gave occasional interviews about her alter ego, and then, about 2 years ago she had another legal incident. That was when she discovered a dead body while punting on the Potomac. After first determining that there was no knife in the back & that it wasn't anyone she knew - they play a rough game in Washington DC - she whipped out her handy dandy cell phone (the one accessory that DC Comics might have added to Diana's recent couture shock costume change in issue 600 - so much more useful than a magic lasso!) and called the authorities. Though Lynda insisted that she only did what any one would do, the papers insisted on headlining the story as "TV Wonder Woman Real Life Hero!" Does the mainstream media think we're stupid, or are they just really lazy?Life is never dull for long for Lynda because she's had yet another brush with the law. When she's not entertaining the assorted movers & shakers in DC, Lynda likes to lead a more laid back life in Maryland. Part of the laid back life is having a really great dog at her side. Lynda likes big active dogs so she got herself a black lab.

Now Labs can be noisy. That's where the trouble came in. One of Lynda's neighbors, Chrissellene Petropoulos - either some old biddy who never watched a single episode of Wonder Woman in her life, or else some one seething with jealousy - phoned the cops and filed a barking dog complaint. That was after frequent complaints to Lynda through phone & email; plus complaints with animal services. Well Lynda had to go to court on that one - Montgomery County District Court. Fortunately her luck held up and the case was dismissed. Had Ms. Petropouilos been a more attentive viewer of 1970's TV she might have realized that you don't mess around with Wonder Woman cause you just won't win!

"Why do people keep giving me a hard time about being wrong all the time just cause it's my job to be accurate or something?" - The Adventures of Blunder Broad
BTW she might be more of a Blunder Woman than a Wonder Woman, but Contessa Brewer is pretty hot. She's also pretty hot under the collar, about bloggers mostly. She's peeved because we in the alternative media keep pointing out her numerous blunders. Now it's not like were making her out to be some kind of Ted Baxter or anything. It's just that Contessa does have her moments ("breast cheese"!). Here's Contessa sounding off about pesky bloggers and turning gaffs into networking opportunities!
Brewer's balls up - Contessa has 'em & they're in the air!
Love her 'journalists against journalism' angle - those bloggers reporting on her as she does on others, & preserving her many gaffs in perpetuity. Not that's not true. We don't preserve them, 'cause there are so many fresh ones on the way! My advice to Contessa - "Get over it babe!" You're hot, you've got a great job, and no one expects you to solve world hunger or anything. We don't even expect our elected officials to do that. Besides, you don't see me getting hot & bothered when my many spelling and grammatical errors are pointed out, do you?
