Funny, funny

On the same day that coverage of the building war in the Middle East intesified, we can peruse articles about the following:

Carmen Electra and Dave Novarro are splitting

Oprah announces that she's not gay with her best friend, Gayle

And Brad Pitt likes being a daddy.

Stop the fucking presses. This is all very IMPORTANT.

(yes, I'm guilty- I looked at every stinking one of them too. But I also read about the Middle East.)

Fuuuuu..uuuck.

And we wonder why George Bush is overheard telling Tony Blair that "someone" ought to call Syria and do something about the conflict. (hey, buddy, how bout you pick up the phone? Huh? Not like we're paying you to conduct foreign policy, or anything.) I seriously wonder if all of this trivia distracts him, like shiny, glittery things. And blinking lights on stereo systems.
