And an excellent experiment indeed.

Wow, sometimes a news story is so tiresome it makes me want to leave the planet. Sarah Palin's old emails is just such a story. I don't care. The very notion of hearing about it makes me despair. My gut feeling is that they will reveal nothing interesting at all, but we will be "treated" to constant updates just the same. Even if they turn up something juicy, I don't care, and I don't want it to be the subject of water cooler talk. But it will be. Thanks for letting me shudder publicly at the prospect. This is all I will have to say on the matter.

Oh yeah, I just saw an "update" that had nothing more interesting to say then "no bombshells so far in palin's emails". Well woo fricking hoo....

Somehow in the last 20 years what used to appear in the brazen pages of the "Weekly World News" became what is shown in place of news. Thank goodness for Aljazeera and BBC World News.

All the Anthony Wiener headlines will never not be funny. Cause I'm 12.

alphabassettgrrl · 06-13-2011, 06:27 PM

Yep. Wienergate=always funny.

Sad, because I always liked him, but yeah, it was a moronic thing to do. But I still laugh at the headlines. Maybe he will stay in office. The voters can decide next election whether they care enough to replace him.

FYI, his name is spelled Weiner.

Looks like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad want's be the first Iranian in space.

At least that's the way I read it.

Can we leave him there? Without a space suit?

No; IN a space suit. It would prolong the experience.
