Shift Change
June 5th, 2008 - 10:05 pm
For the last hour, the prematurely grey talking male head and a bunch of his talking head cronies have been watching a live camera feed of the front of the Clinton’s house and going on and on and ON about a meeting they thought Barack and Hillary were having, at her request, at her house. Every time anything on the live feed moved, they babbled excitedly about all the “activity” at the house, and speculated what they were talking about inside and whether or not they would make an announcement tonight … or maybe even come out together to meet the press. They finally found out Obama wasn’t there having a meeting, and suddenly the prematurely grey talking male head said “No wonder there hasn’t been any activity!”
I told Lin I would laugh my ass off if they discovered Obama wasn’t even there. I am now laughing my ass off.
Now the story is there was a meeting earlier this evening at some other location, and it’s long over. It’s entirely possible that not only was Obama not at the Clinton’s house, the Clinton’s might not be home either. Yup … definitely laughing my ass off at CNN.
Then the woman who first broke this amazing story about the meeting going on at Clinton’s house tried to explain why she was oh so very wrong about it. “Well, I had three sources that agreed!” Look, I can find three sources that agree on just about anything I want to have three sources agree on. That doesn’t mean a) they are reliable and good sources or b) they know what they are talking about. Journalists really need to start trying a bit harder.
This is why I do my best to avoid TV news at all costs. It’s really not so much news as it is morons jumping at anything to fill up the next hour with something more exciting than the last hour for twenty-four hours a day. Here’s a news flash for the news people: sometimes nothing at all exciting is going on, and not every damn thing you hear over happy hour cocktails is a news story.
You’ll have to excuse me now, I must go finish laughing my ass off about the stupid CNN people getting all excited about what looked to us to be a shift change for the Clinton’s regular Secret Service staff.
Idiots.

Wow!!!! One whole day, June 4th,with out posting anything. You really must have been knocked out. So was part of the doctors orders running around taking pictures??? If you are going to take a picture take one of yourself, but please keep mouth close. Seriously stay in bed, try not to run around the house, the last thing you need is to developed what they call a dry socket.
You are absolutely right. My babysitters were gone, I got bored, and I overdid it. Today I paid the price by feeling achy all over and having to stay in bed. In fact, as soon as I finish my Jello, I am off to bed again … where I will dutifully stay …. bored out of my mind … while all sorts of cool things are going on somewhere OUTSIDE where the sun is shining and the grass is growing. Wah!
I suck at doing the bed rest thing. I really, really do. I guess my mom should have stayed a few more days to command me to LAY DOWN AND STAY THERE!
OK. Jello is done. Back to bed.
I am so freaking sick of Jello.
