Oh, The fake Fireman

Simply reading Steve's and Tina's ongoing coverage of the fake fireman, demented playwright, and just plain lunatic Peter Braunstein, has me in suspense.
I still stand by my first thoughts on this now infamous character. By most accounts this man was media hungry, and yet up until now his desired fame was continuously out of his grasp. We aren't talking about just one single area of his life either. Both his former relationships and the less than praised "plays" he put on- must have been disappointing to him to say the least.
And now, here he is stuck somewhere in NY, with his ability to fly to his beloved Paris next to impossible.
Halloween sex-attack suspect Peter Braunstein has been grounded by NYPD investigators, who slapped his name on an airport watch list so he can't flee the country. Continue Reading

Gawker is reporting that there may have been a spotting of the would be fireman.

And yet, with all this news, I would have to sit back and imagine that Peter is content in his few minutes of fame. He's hit the big time. All the ladies are talking about him. He's in the papers, on the television, and look the bloggers are typing out his name faster than he can say it. Mum-mm, contentment. He must be pleased.
Then again, going a bit further on this pretend ladies man, lets think about it for a minute. He clearly wasn't the rich famous playwright he desired to be. If you recall, he lived in his mothers basement. And, without need to beat around the bush- he was no winner with the women either. His fierce criticism of his ex girlfriend comes off more as a rather bizarre man trying to persuade the world that SHE was the problem. Although his overwhelming failures with women in whole speaks a bit louder against HIM.
And the whole fireman thing. Was his method of thinking "If they don't love you fro who you are- pretend to be someone else"? What a lonely life he must have made himself. I do believe that he went to that apartment with every intention of wooing the woman, and upon realizing that even with the costume- he had little chances of being desirable to her- his anger cut loose. Come on Peter- just because it got Cinderella her prince doesn't mean it's going to work for you.
Peter's women troubles, and his way of passing the blame unto the woman seem to go back as far as his first marriage. The one in which he left his wife to be the bread winner, supporting the two of them as he ran around to play house with a married student he attended school with. During the break up of the relationship- he pointed at his wife, and laid the fault at her feet.
It was hard to convince him that what he was doing was wrong, friends said. "He considered himself a feminist," one pal said. In 1994, Braunstein served his wife with divorce papers.
"He drummed up an excuse, said he couldn't be married to her anymore," a source recalled. "He said it was Donna's fault."
But one acquaintance of the pair said, "It was a complete smokescreen. A mutual friend finally told Donna [that] Peter was messing around."

It's just never your fault is it Peter? Women are just so hard on you.
Even better was the fact that the other partner in his affair soon left her husband- and became the woman who would later find herself at the mercy of his unforgiving writing skills.
But the bitter break-up of their own relationship would be the apparent beginning of Braunstein's downward spiral that allegedly led him to the Halloween attack. He is still on the lam in the city, cops said.

Peter's obsession with wanting to be famed for his talents even hampered the relationship with him and his father. Reports indicate that the pair stopped talking after the father made a comment about a play by Peter.
I believe this man is so twisted in his own self love and need for constant praise- he can't imagine that his numerous failures would be any of his own fault. It must be so hard to be so great, and yet no one but yourself can see it.

Yes, people are finally taking notice of Peter Braunstein. They are really starting to see him for the person he is. A demented, failure so twisted in his own thoughts of greatness that he compels those around him to shutter in disbelief. My, he must be proud.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
