Back on the Wagon
Knowing full well that I probably lost 40% of my readership in my extended absence, I decided to make a come-back, because I figured that 40% of my original readership is only 2 people (you do the math). Now that things have settled down a bit, I hope to post regularly once more. If you’re wondering, my blog fell by the wayside in the chaos that was the end of one school year and the beginning of another without so much as a summer vacation. I was able to make it to Iowa to visit my grandparents, but they’ve accepted the fact that technology has passed them by and thus, no Internet. Then, of course, I got the ritual cold that comes with a new batch of germy kids, which has morphed into a sinus infection and nasty cough. But I digress.
All the things that I planned to blog about are today old news: the German Chancellor’s unwanted backrub, the much-anticipated release of Snakes on a Plane, Kyra's dub of bathroom conversation over President Bush’s speech (and subsequent Top Ten list), John Mark Karr’s general creepiness… But a few of the links I saved haven’t gone out of style, namely because they deal with dumb people in front of the cameras.
First, we have a traffic reporter, whose Gwyneth Paltrow looks can’t save her from on-air humiliation. K-Fed, you’re off the hook—for now.
Then, we have a slow-on-the-uptake home shopping host, who possibly skipped a crucial biology class, or a trip to the zoo…
Ahh, yes. I could watch those two snippets over and over again. Don’t get me wrong—I’m not judging, because I embarrass myself on a daily basis. I just try not to do it on national television.
