I don't care

[ksmith]

...about Britney Spears. Passed out at a nightclub. Snatch shots. D-I-V-O-R-C-E. Fed-Ex. With Paris. Without Paris. I have heard all these terms--well, except 'snatch shot,' which is undeniably crude**, but shorter and more to the point than the twee "photographed without her panties"--from adults who should be ashamed of themselves for reporting this tripe. I change the station, and There She Is Again.

Showing a story about her, followed by a Cialis commercial, takes real timing.

Keith Olbermann--I know it's a story your producers force you to cover. You could at least wear a fake nose during that part of the newscast in order to hide your identity.

They say "The Public Wants To Know." Who is this Public of which they speak? No one I know *cares*. And they're smart, well-informed folk. With televisions.

For the record, I also don't care about Paris, Lindsay, Brangelina, who Jennifer is kissing now, or American Idol in any way, shape, or form. One of my 2007 resolutions is to continue this trend.

**I have moments of undeniable crudity. I used to shock my dad, the Marine. I hide it until I can't stand it anymore. I have been called "tasteless" in the past. I will likely, at some point, be called "tasteless" in the future.

why President Bush bought tens of thousands of acres in South America,

Ohh, didn't hear about that one. More, please?

but the media doesn't seem interested in answering those questions for us, do they? *Huff*

Book after book has been written about how the media have fallen down on the job these past six years.

This isn't something you'll find on mainstream media sources, but I confirmed it awhile back looking in South American news sources (and found also that Bush's daughters made an extended visit to the place late last year). Anyway, here's a more cynical account:

(And it seems Bush Sr. is the one who owns it--I mistakenly attributed it to the current Bush.)

That's interesting.

Disheartening and a little bit scary, but interesting.

Although honestly, if I were going to send someone to recon or close a deal, it wouldn't be Jenna Bush. I'd sooner send Barney.
