Headline: Eminem and Kim to divorce again

My Response: Who gives a shit? How about some real news for a change, like that Iraq thing or the Tom Delay story or the deficit. Anything but that a**hole Enema-em. And no stories about Madonna, I couldn't care less what she's doing. Come on BBC, ABC, CBS, CNN....isn't there any REAL news out there?

Jesus, the shit that passes for news in this country.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I agree. It's amazing what's labelled "news" these days.

The mainstream media is complicit in the plot to keep Americans ignorant of what really matters by filling their soft poundcakes with celebrity gossip and reality TV bullshit.

  76% of Americans self-identify as Christian. A coincidence?

  EDIT: that came out a little more bitter than I meant it to. Not all Christians are feeble-minded herd-animals.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

I watch the News Hour with Jim Lehrer. (PBS)  At least there's barely any of that celebrity crap.
