Speaking of the mainstream media dropping the ball, the astrologist at the Amalgamated Conspiracy Theory Factory is still just about the only person in the universe predicting that a conservative majority Supreme Court will earn the undying gratitude of critics of (as Mike Savage calls it) San Francisco Values by declaring gay marriages unconstitutional. In the spirit of "Dewey Wins!" journalism, shouldn't some of the mainstream media be doing contingency feature stories about the potential for a tsunami of legal nightmares if gay marriages are declared unconstitutional?
In the era of skeleton news staffs, maybe it makes sense for them to avoid wasting time on a hypothetical and thys should just stand by to do a "breaking news" emotional meltdown approach to a "no one saw this coming" SCOTUS decision.
Paris Fashion Week will celebrate its 70th birthday this year (just like Mick Jagger) but history buffs will recall that the first Paris Fashion Week was held in New York City due to the fact that many thought all the bunting with swastikas would class with the new dresses.
Who knew that when the first Paris Fashion Week was being held that eventually both the Republicans and Democrats in the USA and New York City would eventually embrace preemptive invasions, waterboarding, and "If you see something suspicious, report it!"? (We have seen reports that Chancellor Hitler became very annoyed with the number of people who filed phony "suspicious activities" reports just to cause neighbors to spend extra time contending with all the subsequent paperwork that had to be filled out.)

The World's Laziest Journalist has, in the past, been a wee bit cynical and sarcastic regarding the potential for Obama to join FDR and JFK in the Democratic Party Hall of Fame, but we that it is obvious that the fellow is a Republican, we'll exercise our freedom of speech and go to warp speed to express some reservations. If Uncle Rushbo and the Republicans want to impeach Obama we'll stand by to provide some unbiased sarcastic remarks about the process as it unfolds. We'll go along with whatever happens, data gathering, impeachment, ideological stalemate, whatever but we'll stay in the boat. The prospect of a tiger scares the bejesus out of us. Approving the data gathering reminds us of the old Winston Churchill quote: "Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry."
Now the disk jockey will play Moby Grapes "If you can't learn from my mistakes," the Electric Prunes' "I had too much to dream last night," and Janis Joplin's "Get it while you can." We have to go find our MTA map of Frisco. Have a "fa-a-a-r-r-r out" week.
