My life has meaning now. KO quotes a diary from DKos on his show. OK, it wasn't my diary, but I read it. Before KO quoted it. On TV! Yes, sometimes if you live a good life and work hard it all pays off in the end. Life is not all unfair.
A celebrity quoted the diary. Someone who is actually paid to be on TV. Just think of that. I am dumbfounded. Or something.It was like the time I was at a concert and a drop of Sting's sweat fell on me. I didn't wash for a week. Didn't want that celebrity saltiness to wash off my skin. Another time I was at a restaurant in Connecticut and someone told me Paul Newman had eaten there the week before. Yes! Just one week before I ate there, Paul Newman had sat at the same table. OK, may not be the same table. Same room. Or general area. Or something.
Only a month ago, hundreds of young people were on the streets of Teheran risking their lives for freedom. And I and many other activists supported them. By watching them on TV. They were on Rachel Maddow, TPM, even Morning Blow. It felt so good being part of a great movement, bringing democracy to the people of Iran. It all went so well until Gov. Sanford went hiking. With a woman in Argentina. That was the end of Iran. It ceased to exist. Whatever happened to all those people we were saving from tyranny?
And then Michael Jackson died. And died. Still is dead as far as I heard. Will be until the next Republican Governor gets a blowjob from an intern. Or will it be Elizabeth Taylor in the news next? Will Sarah Palin go fishing again? What will Bono do next? Bruno? I await with bated breath.
