Can we lose Gretchen Carlson for Ainsley Earhart, please? Watching Gretchen is like watching a fairly dense soccer mom try to be witty. Game over. Fox should’ve realized that Kieran Chetry was doing them a favor.
6:40
California Democrat congressmen Tom Lantos has died. He was old.
10:41 A.M.
Just got off a plane. Eye didn’t blow up. Checking the news…
10:43 A.M.
And Megyn Kelly, hot as she is, has over-fried my nerves. She needs to stop yelling every third word. I don’t quite get it, she acts totally normal whenever she’s on O’Reilly, and then is just a spastic geek when she does her own show. She’s so desperate to be the center of attention she does the yelling thing, and consistently steps on Hemmer’s stories. She’s publicly called him a geek, not realizing that the shoe is firmly on the other foot. It’s just a classic case of a newbie trying to carve out her own fame and cred, and just trying way too hard. Calm down, sweetheart.
10:44 A.M.
From The Australian:
IT was early 1994 when Nelson Mandela gave a speech in a slum outside Cape Town and spoke in grand terms of a new beginning and how when he was elected president every household would have a washing machine.
People took him literally. A few months later he became South Africa’s first black president. That’s when clerks in department stores in Cape Town had to turn people away demanding their free washer and dryer.
Having spent some time as a reporter in South Africa watching the Mandela presidency I was reminded of that story this week when I travelled with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campaign trail.
How does a cult figure, in the eyes of some something akin to a messiah, make the transition to a political frontrunner - president even - where disappointment will soon crush what seemed to be a journey to a promised land?
12:48 P.M.
So I basically didn’t do anything the doctor told me to, and he said today that my eye is healing just fine. Onward and upward…
1:08 P.M.
Woman is the nigger of the world? I thought I was. Plenty of people apparently agree with me.
3:51
Oh yeah, I also got the okay to have the MRI done for tbi. Had to postpone it after the eye surgery. I can also now pick back up on the YA editing, etc.
Just took 10mg of valium. Shit howdy!
4:03 P.M.
Looks like there’s no way I’m going to make it to Mosul for the best of times, given this eye deal. It seems circumstance is conspiring to put me in Afghanistan to cover some nice, nasty offensive on the scum of the earth.
After I cause some trouble on the campaign trail here.
4:05 P.M.
Bash got one of those new Hover-Rounds, and he’s very excited about it.
10:30 P.M.
I feel really bad. I just shot and killed a bunch of people at the Circle K because I saw that Teddy Bear commercial again. And then I walked out with a 12 pack of diet coke without paying. I would’ve paid, but there was nobody to pay.
10:38 P.M.
At least we get to see the redhead’s ass with the Pajama Gram commercial.
