Watching the World
Mood:

Topic: News on News

What in what in the world is what in the world
coming to when what in the world is the world coming to when
Brian Williams has to explain away to viewers what in the world it
is doing actually RAINING in Cleveland while his station
is delivering a newscast?
This is actually what happened
when the station was reporting live from the Ohio city
last Monday and hundreds of people...didn't get the picture,
some actually believing the rain falling behind was part of
a chromakeyed backdrop! Huffington also reports.
But this is exactly the type of distraction we Canadians need from
our American counterpart cousins to the South. What, with
all the international attention on the behaviour of our police
forces at our airport?
An airport which also welcomes people from around the world with million-dollar aboriginal art? Hmh.
Yes, a welcoming place but get that evil smirk off your face first.
And what about the now all but now glowing and brewing
political scandal about a deported German businessman with allegations of highlevel corruption,lies,deceit and bribery?
At least some of which, has to do with a proverbial: lost letter?
I would say if Prime Minister Harper wishes to pick up some
good reading material next time perhaps he would like to
start with a recent book written by a good lawyer.
Such as this one for instance!
But if rain in Cleveland and disgruntled viewers or taser deaths
at international airports doesn't do it for you, or lost letters
alleging top high level corruption,...maybe this will
do it for you!
This belongs in the 'grace under pressure'

department
award for the week and it has to go to Hillary Clinton her self!
(Yah, Tiger Williams has the week off) After an open question component
of the recent televised Democratic leadership debate from Las Vegas,
..the most highly viewed televised leadership debate to date...
one erudite looking but possible debutante material female (with
all the aplomb usual reserved for asking future Presidents what
their underwear brand is)...actually asked: what did she prefer:
diamonds or pearls?
Rising to the occasion of being embarrasingly put on the spot
for such an unanswerable question with utter sange froid
Ms Future President Hopeful replied
but not before a daft reference to
never being one to be indecisive......she would like to have BOTH!
Which I am sure we can agree is what we think some women in our
lives deserve, certainly not what made for fodder and heated
debate
on CNN recently, and that is the sad suicide of a MySpace teen
and the ridiculous helplessness the adults who configured in the
story felt. Its called : "intention infliction of emotional distress"
and one thing I can say for sure, I am glad we are all adults
here and can fathom the emotional landscape of a still developing teenager. Can't we>?
=
Well, to be sure, enough about the nonsense of the world.
Time for a real distraction
from this zaniness. Here is my recommendation...lose your self
ten bucks and you can't go wrong!

Have a nice day and thanks for visiting my kick-ass/kissass cafe!
