Three days ago the Republican pundits claimed Obama didn't need to go to Denmark because the crooked Chicago politicians had the deal already in the bag. Now honestly, if Houston had been trying to get the Olympics would anyone have faulted George Bush for trying to assist in getting the games for Texas? If Sarah Palin had been trying to get the 2016 summer games for Alaska, would it have been wrong if she took the state Greyhound Bus to Denmark? No one would have complained until she announced that she would try again next year to bring the 2017 games to Alaska.

Even the so-called real news sites are buying in with stories about Knute the polar bear and his birthday party, or the stray cat that became the stationmaster for a Japanese railroad. You've got to help me! I need a fix! I need real news! News about people and not just their sex organs. If you want to know about fashion week in Milan, read a fashion magazine. That's not news! Jon & Kate, get baked; there are millions of divorces each year. Sorry to hear about yours, but it's not news.

"Did they really make a stray cat into a stationmaster?"

"I think Jon's an asshole!"

"Yeah, but Kate's a bitch!"

Oh, God no! This isn't happening! I'm going to wake up now! I'm going to wake up now!
