The purpose of this diary is not to rail on Ms. Spears, whose plight I've come to learn a bit too much about while trying to seek out real news. In fact, you'll find I spend almost no time on the subject of her. Instead, I'd like to direct this diary towards those who enjoy their tabloid juice a little too much and let you know what has gone on while you followed the play by play of Brit-gate. On the jump
- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto tried to do something rational like go back home, and almost got blown up for her trouble. Oh, and it was probably Al-Qaida. You know, the boogeymen they scared you with to get you to vote for Bush in '04. Source
- This one I can't really blame you for, the entire traditional media has snoozed through this one too. But Senator Chris Dodd (and presidential nominee but you probably don't know that since his last name isn't Clinton or Giuliani) single handily killed a piece of legislation that would have given Telecom companies amnesty for using the constitution as toilet paper. Sort of important people. Sort of important.
- President Bush decided he was against health care for sick kids. 81% of the country feels he is a douchebag for this (while 76% feel he's a douchebag overall). But he's da Decider and, gosh darn it, he won't get fooled...fool him...oh what the {CENSORED} ever.
- Oh hell, who am I kidding. You all stopped reading this before the jump. Brit must have shown her clam again...
Such is life. Now you'll never know about how your commander in chief threatened World War 3, or any of the hundreds of other stories you've missed while waiting for the next shoe to get run over, err, I mean, drop in Brit-gate. However, in case I still have any wild eyes on me, let me suggest one last time...{CENSORED} BRITNEY AND PAY {CENSORED} ATTENTION!
