Deep Thoughts and other brainstorms from the news
Posted by Jill | 8:45 AM
The REPORTED national unemployment rate is up around 5.5% and it's only going to get worse. But Rush Limbaugh gets $400 million to vomit up his particular brand of foul verbal stench for another eight years. Something is very, very wrong in this country.

How much of the media frenzy surrounding stories like the Eliot Spitzer Hooker and Christie Brinkley's soon-to-be-ex fucking an eighteen-year-old comes from a desire among the men in America's newsrooms to fuck eighteen-year-olds themselves? (See also: sex between teachers and students.)

Note to the Wilpons: It's over. Start trading for youth. And stop playing Ryan Church until you know for certain he's better. I have a nasty sense that there is something very bad floating around his head and if it gets to the wrong place, the results are going to be tragic. I do not want to see that happen.

The Chinese own us lock, stock, and barrel. You don't piss off your owners by disrespecting them. Plus, he can play Commander Guy, and it gets him out of our hair for a few days.

Wow. EVERYONE's got a script to pitch these days.

No, pulling a stunt like this doesn't mean you get to fuck Sienna Miller even if Rhys Ifans did. (And Danny Deckchair was a dumbass movie anyway.)

Unintentionally funny headline of the day.

Runner-up.

Ten bucks says they find something in there that gives them carte blanche to continue hating teh gayz.

And you think YOU'RE having a bad week. First this guy's last name gets changed to "Homosexual" on a so-called Christian web site, and now this. When the Salt Lake City Tribune is laughing at religious organization, you know it's jumped the shark.

Don't quit Clean House just yet, Ms. Nash. Because even this plus this doesn't compensate for this. You are too ballsy and too fabulous to be on a misogynistic sitcom at the Misogynist Network. Besides, I have two words for you about what happens when people leave a successful gig for a Fox sitcom: Rob. Corddry.

And in closing, a Happy Thought.

It is highly probable this stone tablet text is yet another sensationalist scam, as is clearly indicated by the facts

(1) that no specific information is available on its provenance and

(2) that no details are provided on carbon dating of the ink.

As such, this "news" falls right in line with the faked Lost-Tomb-of-Jesus "documentary" designed to make a profit off of people's fascination with the "real" Jesus, and with the larger scandal of the biased and misleading way the Dead Sea scrolls are being presented in museum exhibits around the world. See, e.g.,

Why is it so wrong for Rush to get $400 million? He's getting what the market is willing to pay him. Can you honestly say that if you were offered that sum of money, you'd refuse it entirely or give away 95% to "the poor and needy"? I highly doubt that.

If you can believe a story that some deity came down and impregnated her while hubby was away for 10 years fighting a war and that was a millennium before Jesus, (Christ's virgin birth, Joseph didn't get any) then you get suckered into believing in Christ' resurrection.

To paraphrase P. T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute."
