One of these things is not like the others. . .

From the wires:
- Cameron Diaz breaks nose in surfing accident
- U.S. court vacates 100 death sentences
- Schwarzenegger to skip Calif. recall debate
- House panel begins blackout hearings
- U.S. now seeks U.N. help with Iraq force
- Abbas seeks confidence vote from Palestinian parliament
- Typhoon kills at least 20 in southern China
- Train bombing in Russia kills 5, wounds 30

Maybe I'm jaded, but, really, the level of importance here certainly seems to be, uh. . . variable?

- Abbas seeks confidence vote from Palestinian parliament

That's because his source is Salon. And they know the only true peace in Palestine will be when someone mops the place clean with a nice dose of radiation or moves the palestinians (as I wouldn't want to mis-characterize illegal immigrants, exiles, and refugees as a single ethnic group like the media does) to Ethiopa or say Nigeria...

Hurricane headed toward the coast near Washington, DC. Here comes the flood!

I initially mis-read that and wondered, "What the fuck? Are they going to sing 'Dancing Queen' there or something?"

Yeah! Why are they clogging my celebrityfest news with meaningless crap from Russia!?!?!

[I'd argue that the Arnie headline is just as vacuous]

You missed CNN's "The New Iraq" series and Nefertiti mummy is a boy... giggle

I love living in post-collapse America. It's like living within one of the communist take over nations described in the 50s films on Archive.org.

So much for being the best paid actress in the Guiness book of world records...

Man, karma is a bitch!

o/~ i'm afraid of americans
i'm afraid of the world o/~

...was/is she really? that just seems Not Right somehow...

[jruske.livejournal.com]

They made a big deal in the news last week about her and Adam Sandler becoming the new Guiness Book of Record holders for their income...

If you can call that kind of nonsense news anyway...

You have a fuckin' great icon, by the way!

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

Yep, KMFDM said it best...

Let's admit America gets the celebrities we deserve
Let's stop saying "Don't quote me"
Because if no one quotes you
You probably haven't said a thing worth saying

Sex, drugs, god, cash, America

We need something to kill the pain
Of all that nothing inside
We all just want to die a little bit
We fear that pop-culture
Is the only culture we're ever going to have
We want to stop reading magazines
Stop watching TV
Stop caring about hollywood
But we're addicted to the things we hate

And I have to agree with the above. Ahnold really doesn't rate a headline.

I'd still prefer to see Jello Biafra in office.
