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.

  1. 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...

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...
