I'm getting tired of the way every news channel plays the same three stories ALL DAY LONG!
First we have this business with the rich people whose child was "kidnapped." Regardless of whether they killed her or they really are victims of a vicious crime, what makes them more important than any other victim out there? I don't mean to sound callous but damn, people are killed and kidnapped every day. Why does the media select only certain cases to cover? And how do they pick these people?
Then we have Greenspan spouting out all sorts of crap. Did he miss the power and spotlight so badly that he had to get back in the only way he could (ie- berate Bush Jr, you know, something else that new and different for the media).
And who could forget OJ? Certainly not anybody in America who owns a tv...He committed murder years ago and got away with it. Why does anybody think he is going down for these new charges? It'll be Paris Hilton in jail all over again...only worse.

Office Ass-kissing
So here's a question...How is it that the person who is consistently a good employee (always on time, works independently, never causes strife with other coworkers) is the one who gets shafted on a regular basis? And the guy who is a whiny, kiss-ass little bitch is the one who gets what he wants? Seriously, I want to know. How is the good employee ever supposed to get ahead in life? Without all the ass-kissing and bitching and being an obnoxious know-it-all?
And furthermore, why do people who are married think their time is more important than non-married people (oh, I can't work late, I won't get to see my wife, boo hoo)? I can understand if you are a parent, your children sort of need you. But just because you have a peice of paper that legally binds you to another person does not make you some kind of instant royalty. And beyond that, how does a whiny know-it-all even find somebody to marry? Seriously, did she lose a bet?

Disposables
I just read a product review for Once, the panties you wear one time and then throw away. Designed for women to wear during their periods, Once is just the latest in a line of products that clog the environment. Everything is disposable nowadays.
Paper/plastic plates...because God forbid you wash your dishes.
Cleaning wipes...because sponges and rags are just icky.
Now underwear is disposable. I hope the government starts working on turning Pluto into a landfill (since it isn't considered a planet anymore) because ours will be full in no time. Seriously, is tossing your skivvies into a washing machine too much to ask?

latest movies
I saw two new movies in the last couple of days, Stardust and The Simpsons. Loved the first, the second not so much.
Stardust has action, humor, and a good story line. It's not the deepest movie you'll ever see, but it's entertaining. Stellar cast, good special effects and costumes/makeup.
While I like The Simpsons tv show, the movie is not worth seeing in the theater. There's a couple of chuckle-worthy moments, but overall it's a little disappointing. The story line is pretty much a big yawn. They could have done a lot more with this. Wait for it to appear at Blockbuster.
