Breaking News!!! Bristol Palin snubbed by Dancing with Stars voters!!!...oh, and war's about to break out in South Korea too...

...Good thing that the M$M media in the US has their priorities right. This week the corporate news has been choc-a-block full of conspiracy theories, and counter-conspiracies about how in the world the eldest Palin spawn made it to the finals of 'Dancing with People We No Longer Give a Shit About'. Accusations have been raised that knuckle-dragging supporters of her wolf-killing mother have been busy jamming the interwebs with votes for Bristol. The blogosphere lit up too, full of folks that are miffed that the "integrity" of the show has been ruined (integrity? really?) and that they will forever eschew themselves of the pleasure of watching has-beens try to bump and grind their way out of obscurity if she were to win. All this because of a 'reality' show (if by reality you mean my version of a living hell) that invited this talent-free un-wed mother to be on their show.

Now, I've been accused of being a bit of a cynic in the past, but I think you'd have to be incredibly naive to think that she was invited to be on the competition because she was a good dancer. She isn't. Not really. Not when it could be reasonably said that she had all the style and grace of a Clydesdale in spandex. No, the only reason she was invited on was because her pig-ignorant mother gets ratings. The Half-Term ex-Governor of Alaska is despised and reviled as fervently as she is worshipped by her minions, and all that passion means more eyeballs on the telly, higher ratings for the network, and more money for the corporation that put this whole charade together in the first place. It's almost like the network planned it that way...

Naaah....couldn't be that simple could it?

Oh, and in other news North Korea lobbed some shells into South Korea, the US is sending an aircraft carrier task force to the region in support and the South Korean Premiere is talking about a full-scale response to the attacks. Nothing major really, just another possible war and the reality that hundreds of thousands of innocent lives hang in the balance because the midget in control of North Korea also has nukes, but let's stay focused on the important shit, you know, Bristol Palin and the TSA gropings at your local airport (more about them anon).

Oy vey...sometimes it's enough to drive me to drink...(most times I just walk though)...

Peace.
