News Stories of the Damned
Any of you read online news sources?
I read a few different news-specific websites each day, and I usually just stay in my 'helicopter', hovering above all the bad news, rejoicing in the good, and laughing at the ridiculous. I've found over the years that it's the best way to process all the crap that goes on in the world.
Today, I was reading CNN.com, and came across the following headlines:
DNA confirms Birkhead fathered Smith's baby --- Great! Wonderful! Fantastic!
Actually, I don't really care anything about Anna Smith or any of the money-grubbers chasing her ill-gotten fortune, but I was glad to hear this news, because maybe the whole damn thing will finally go away. I'm pretty sure being force-fed this ongoing bullshit over the last few weeks has caused something valuable to be pushed from my brain. I was wondering why I've been wearing my underwear on the outside of my pants lately. Maybe now, I can return to my normal routine --- wearing no pants at all.
Rutgers player: 'Our great hurt' --- The Rutgers women's basketball team voices their disgust at Don Imus for calling them "nappy-headed hos".
Who cares? Don Imus is an idiot. We as human beings expect things like that to come from the mouths of idiots. These girls have let themselves be affected by something they should have ignored. Of course, it's funny because they've been influenced to care about something that has absolutely no impact on anyone with half a brain by the illustrious leaders of the black community, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson -- who by the way, are in the running with Imus for Idiot of the Year by virtue of not only claiming Imus's statement was a racial slur, but insisting he be fired. It was simply an insensitive, idiotic thing to say. There was nothing racial about it. If people were fired for saying insensitive, idiotic things, Sharpton and Jackson would themselves have been fired long ago. Of course, there would be some other idiot with a perverted since of political correctness to take their place. There always is.
Anyway, there was more to the news day, but these two items gave me great satisfaction to be in my helicopter looking down on things. Some days, I just can't stomach being on the same ground with the ridiculous.
