Tim Russert

Everything about this weekend has annoyed the crap out of me for some reason. Except for the Father's Day thing, of course. Hey, Dad!

To my main gripe.

I was just as shocked as anyone to hear of Tim Russert's sudden keeling over this past Friday. On the tube every day and every night, he was. The guy apparently never slept. And of course, always up and on air for my Sunday morning Meet the Press fix. A veritable Energizer bunny, sans the pink fur and drum. Sad his untimely passing, to be sure.

Still, what the hell is it with MSNBC even now, late this Sunday night and presumably ad infinitum, broadcasting 24/7 Remembering Tim Russert commentary and the non-stop Russert repeat segments? Good Lord, let the man rest in peace already ... for a change. He certainly deserves the time off.

Why this annoys me so much, I don't really know. I am trying to quit smoking, that might have something to do with it. For whatever the reason, though, I do find it extremely irritating. Enough already.

    I agree with you. It's really is too much. I haven't watched the coverage since Friday.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
