OJ, you knew you a** was going to get it, if you were ever caught doing something again, why didn't you just do us all a favor and fade out.
Canada - what can I really say.
Dressed in drag, killer. I wonder what they wore.
1The unemployment news is even bumming me out this time - the business in the office next to ours closed this week. I feel like the Cowardly Lion, just holding my tail with my eyes squeezed shut repeating: "I do have hope, I do have hope." I think January is really going to suck.
I'd say something about Bush and Harper and what's with guys running to lead democracies when they really don't seem to believe in democracy but I've got my eyes squeezed shut.
2Bush leads a constitutional republic.
3How nice: let's leave democracy out of it.
4It is so shocking...I heard the most yesterday about layoffs from TONS of large companies on...PerezHilton. It is pretty sad when the mainstream media won't report such big news, but a gossip monger can.
The Canada thing is CRAZY! I can't believe the Queen of England has so much power, enough to shut down the Parliment of Canada! WOW! Sounds almost dictator-ish.
5Isn't it strange, Jill?
Someone that draws penises and cocaine spots on celebrity pictures is reporting this more than a mainstream news organization.
6I see the same thing Jill! Im on perez everyday and there is always something in there about layoffs. strange...
7Makes me think of a good novel for a subject..an erstwhile celebrity reporter becomes a renegade "reality reporter", after a spate of honest story posting suddenly finding himself blogging on the run from the feds while the world falls apart and the mainstream news report on Jessica Simpson, celebrity babies and "10 foods to make him love you" or some other such **llsh*t.
8er *subject for a novel
(Wanders off for more coffee)
9I'd read it!
