Rihanna Receives Another Hit On Chris Brown's Behalf

First she reported that he abused her (photographic evidence) then she tells police you can't keep us apart and nothing really happened. Pick one or the other. Police have better things to do.

This only goes to show that celebrities are just as stupid as the rest of us. They just have more opportunities to do so.

Her career may be in jeopardy from the situation at hand. Chris Brown was yanked from the Kids Choice Awards. She even has Oprah against her on this. Oprah. Once she has spoken against you... well, you're done. So what do you think would be the best thing for Rihanna to do?

A. Release a statement about your split from him and quit defending him.
B. Get Oprah back on your side and do the talk show tour explaining your struggle and how you are an empowered woman and he is toast.
C. Record a sentimental/semimental duet with your abuser.
D. Shave your head, go home, throw all your blankets on the front yard, burn them, and blow every dollar you have on snuggies.

She chose C. and recorded a duet with him. If her career wasn't jeopardized before, now she most certainly will be questioned and dropped from events and commercials. The goal is to move the women's movement forward not backward.

Kick him out from under your Umbrella-ella-ella and get your head out of your a**.

Two Cavemen Are Thinking About Walking Into A Bar...

This is a text from a friend's phone. Reader beware.

Whats up?

Nothing. What about you?

Thats cool. Nothing.

Cool.

What r u doing latr?

No idea. Kinda tired.

Thats cool.

What about you?

Feel like doing something. Might go out.

Cool.

Wanna go with?

Where?

No idea.

Cool. Yeah. Lets go.

The length of this texting was more than ten minutes - could have been a one minute phone call. Ten minutes gone and what was figured out. Nothing. This is basically a script from 'The Hills.' But in the meantime we learned what was cool, right? (insert vomit noise)

This is what the world of 3G networks and texting is creating - an irresponsible use of technology to distract people from their real lives. Maybe mankind isn't made to survive for much longer. (check out the movie Idiocracy.)

LOL! TTYL.

(the first time I've ever used those acronyms like for serious totally)

Really???

One of the lead stories on Yahoo! is about how Obama uses the teleprompter too much lately.

Are you kidding me? Do you think he might have some other things on his mind other than learning every word of every speech verbatim.

I had friends that use to say Bush had a lot to deal with and we should cut him some slack. Where did that mentality go? Either cut Obama some slack or jump on Bush for not using the teleprompters when he did that whole "There's a saying in Texas, Shame on you....ah ah and you can't get fooled again." With or without teleprompters, there will not be enough material to fill an entire book of Obamaisms.

Obama is giving his full attention to the bigger picture. You know what Bush did when things got hard -- he took a vacation to the ranch. He was on vacation 1 year out of 8 -- ONE FULL YEAR. I fear for Obama's life if he is ever caught on a golf course or sitting down for a while when we are under attack. But I digress.

Getting back to the bigger picture, the country is in the flusher. I get it. But does that mean we have to ignore what is going on and divert our attention to wasting time? News programs spend time on user comments via Facebook and the #1 story on Countdown with Keith Olberman dealt with the fact that Obama's hair has started showing some gray. The #1 story.

Are you kidding me??? Can we get some f------ news around here???

We Interrupt Normal News Programming...

Throughout the day, I'll grab a snack and watch TV for fifteen to twenty minutes. Normally, I'll check the news and see what's going on. Checking the news comes with an expectation - that they will present the news.

I watched a few minutes of CNN today and Rick Sanchez just read different user comments sent in and also on user facebook pages. This went on until a commercial break and then some more afterwards. I came back an hour or two later - same channel, same content, different commentator.

I want to know what is going on in the world. That's what your programming is for. It's not to surf facebook and read people's status. I can do that on my own time. I can't get journalists to come to my house and tell me everything they know. I need a news channel to do that for me. I don't care about random people and their opinions across the country. I want reactions and analysis from professionals.

I know the average person in their job gets less and less done each day due to breaks on facebook, myspace, twitter, and whatever else. I can accept that. I CAN NOT accept people getting paid huge sums of money to present the news to do the same. Check facebook on your own time or on commercial breaks - just give me friggin' news and quit dumbing down America.

Short Distance Phone Calls?

At the casino with my friend, we watched something we hadn't yet seen before.

A couple, rich and snobby, blanketed in top tier clothing and holding martinis, paced back and forth through the middle isle of tables. What I can only assume was a difference of opinion between them, sparred erratic behavior. The male took the wad of gum from his mouth and shoved it into her's to inhibit her ability to speak. Words were exchanged and they split up, him staying put and her walking away - not sure what happened with the gum.

It was merely seconds later that he pulled out his phone and dialed. The casino was pretty busy that night so their debacle dissolved into the rest of the room and if you weren't watching from the begining you wouldn't have noticed them. He continued to gesture as if someone was watching him, which of course she was. He twisted the phone so that only the bottom was near his face and he screamed into it. The girl came pacing back over and she did the same. Now other people started watching.

If I've lost any of you, these two ended up standing about two feet apart screaming at each other by cell phone, with the ear pieces of the phones nowhere near their faces. They continued arguing this way for another minute or so and then when they were finished shut their flip phones and split up again.

Obviously, it would have been simpler to just argue face to face, without cellular technology, but not for these two. Gotta find a way to use up all those minutes.

I guess the only thing one can take from this is that money doesn't solve problems, cell phones don't solve problems, and neither does sharing your gum. My faith in humanity is hanging by a thread.

Gotta go. Cell phone's ringing.
