Ok seriously....

Who cares that Bristol Palin will be on dancing with the stars?

I have heard that story more than any other story in the last 24 hours and I don't fucking care!

UGH! Our media is pathetic.

1. The only one happy about that announcement is Paris Hilton!!!

2. Bread and Circus...continuing saga

3. Meh. Someone does, someone doesn't. Probably the same number of people who does and doesn't care

about the stories we want to hear.

Nothing really matters. No one listens to us. I've been screaming about wars for 45 years, and the government hasn't listened once. Let's dance, it beats giving a shit and having your soul ripped out.

Okay, I'm over the cynical thing. Just had to get it out of my system. Back to work now.

5. That sums it up nicely

4. Perhaps they think if they keep America entertained, we will forget

about how we are being ruined. Just a thought.

While I am no fan of Mark Penn, every now and again
he throws out a gem of wisdom. Once during the last
Presidential campaign, while a guest on Charlie Rose Show,
Charlie asked him about how the Cable and Networks
spend so much time on Lindsey, Paris, the attractive
girls who go missing in Aruba, etc? Penn simply
gave a knowing look and explained: This is the way
the ELITES want it. He repeated: This is what the ELITES
want. He left it to the audience to deduct what he meant.

Distractions serve different purposes, I think.

6. Bristol is a controversial figure and is obviously celeb-rag gossip-worthy

She has learnt her lesson well from her grifter mother, Lady Blah-blah, on how to parlay that into ca$h and further notoriety.


Joe the Plumber also desperately tried to extend his fifteen minutes of fame as well, but has failed miserably, because he is boring and uninteresting, even to his right-wing redneck contemporaries.

7. Who? Never heard of her.
