OK, Celebrity Obsessed America, yell it at the top of your collective lungs & get it out of your system: "Britney is washed up!" There, do you feel better now? Sheesh, how pathetically obsessed with someone's failure can we possibly be? And don't get me started railing against all the comment's about her being "fat". I wish I was that "fat"!
Let's focus on some real news shall we? For starters it is the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. There are loads of issues attached to those events that could use some good water cooler discussion. There's also the General Petraeus report about what's going on in Iraq. Hear's a link to his entire statement to Congress. It's only 9 pages long and worth reading. Oh, yeah, Dr. Haleh Esfandiari, an Iranian-American who was held for no reason in an Iranian prison for 4 months was just released. Her story is worth pondering for those of us who realize we might someday be imprisoned for our religious beliefs.
If nothing else, America, go for a walk, play with your kids, read a good book (or The Good Book!). Please get over this junior high-ish fixation with the clique you always wanted to get into but couldn't. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to continue my reading journey through "Night" by Ellie Wiesel. I'm pretty sure he's not to concerned about the latest Hollyweird controversy.
