Zero for seven
CNN host Larry King is filing for divorce.
Larry King has filed for divorce from his seventh wife, court filings show.Southwick-King is 50 years old, so, doing the math, it is easy to see why this marriage failed: thirteen years ago, Larry King was 63 years old and his new wife was 37 years old, and according to the 50% plus 7 formula, King should have married a woman at least 38 years old in 1997. Just a bit too much of a stretch.
The 76-year-old host of CNN's "Larry King Live" filed Wednesday to end the couple's nearly 13-year marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." He married Shawn Southwick-King in a hospital room in 1997 shortly before surgery to clear a clogged blood vessel.
Eighth time will be the charm, big guy.

Didn't the Eagles record a song about this problem. I bet we will soon hear something about a high school love and a cheating heart. At least, we will if Glenn Frey was close to right.

Kinky Friedman, who has had multiple careers as a country and western music singer-songwriter, writer of mystery novels and gubernatorial candidate, had something to say about those who divorce many times:
“I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.”
The following Kinkster quote reminds us of the two thousand page monstrosity that Speaker Pelosi said we had to pass in order to realize what it said.
“I'll sign anything except bad legislation.”

Kinky has always been one of my personal inspirations too; but even the Kinkster would snicker at 0 for 7.

Even those of us here in NYC know Kinky, thanks to Imus.

For most of us "50% plus 7" is an outer bound; for some a target.
