You'd think as the world's largest developer of penis-shaped buildings Donald Trump would have his hands full. But no, he continues to ravage the environment by building golf courses. He's best known, of course, as a faux Reality star for NBC.

It's apparent that these Trump enterprises all cross-pollinate each other. All Trump has to do is pump to make money.

Trump's latest self-promoting outburst is the Miss USA pageant, and he's milking it for all it's worth. The gay marriage controversy surrounding it is a fabricated media event. Why else would the pageant chose Perez Hilton to be a judge?

A soft porn holdover from the '70s, the Miss USA pageant isn't doing the women of the world any favors. It paid for tool-of-the-year Miss California's breast implant surgery. What's up with that? It's like the Westminster Dog Show paying for implants to make its contestants' tails more perky.

Let's take the spotlight off fully indoctrinated Carrie Prejean, shall we? Donald Trump -- a 62-year-old man who apparently uses orange Jello as hair dye and is married for the third time to a 24-year-younger woman -- and gay activist Perez Hilton are poor judges of feminine beauty and integrity.

As a mom, I sincerely hope young women today can resist the beauty pageant culture and think for themselves. To paraphrase Al Franken, you're good enough and smart enough and gosh darn it, people like you...without breast implants.

Thanks for reading my Mother's Day rant. I feel better already. Suggestion: Today ask your mom (or maybe your surrogate mom) what pisses her off. Then listen.
