Jessica Simpson... I just don't get it.

Can somebody explain why Jessica Simpson is consistently in the media and plastered all over the web and in movies? Sure, she's attactive, but so are millions of other girls. Sure, she can carry a tune... but she's really nothing more than average if not a couple notches below that. So why is she covered so much?

Is it just great PR? Is she "servicing" some huge media mogul? Have we moved into an age where the content doesn't matter anymore as long as you've got a great PR person? Oh wait... I guess we have. How else can you explain Bush? ;-)

Oilagarchy! Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, Conoco

I know the collective "we" are basically stupid... but just how stupid do they really think we are? I mean really, we're supposed to swallow that the very congressmen who've been bought and paid for all the way up to the president are really going to hold oil companies accountable for gross price gouging? These guys polute our environment, drag us into wars to protect their "interests", etc. THEN they have the nerve to rake us over the coals too?

Did you see the photos of these oil men on CNN? What a dreadfull looking bunch of fatcat fascist pigs! Dick Cheney would fit nicely in a group shot of these criminals. Don't we or didn't we used to have laws against what these monsters practice?

Avian Flu or H5N1

Ok, warning... I have a VERY warped sense of humor. ;-) But I was just thinking this past weekend. Say, this Avian Flu or H5N1 sweeps the planet like they're telling us it might. And lets say that in order to absorb enough viral particles into your lungs you have to have clean, healthy, unobstructed lungs....

Now wouldn't it be ironic is the only survivors of this outbreak were the smokers? ;-)

Poor taste I know.. but if you're a smoker.. I'm betting I got a grin out of you!
