I'm home sick from work and will be in & out at doctors' appointments today. But y'all know, I'm never to sick to blog!

Here's some short & sweet headlines that caught my eye this morning:

It's been awhile since I talked about Andy, and when I saw this on Towleroad I just had to share.

Dude, it's raining like a damn hurricane here in DC/NoVA, and all I want to do is curl up on my sofa with a nice hot cup of cocoa, a blanket & my ER DVDs. But first three things:

1. The Washington Monument was evacuated after a bomb threat and then reopened 2 hours later after it was turned out to be a hoax. Because who would seriously want to ( Read more... )

See, subject lines like this make me feel so much better about how immature and shallow I am. God Bless you, Gawker media!

Excellent editorial on the FEMA censorship in the Gulf Coast right now from Terry Neal at WaPo:

And a full-scale political storm over the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina continued to rage around the White House this week, despite the best efforts of the president's supporters to deflect criticism by tagging it as partisan--even though many of the critics are themselves Republicans. )

Okay, I'm watching 360, and out of nowhere Anderson Cooper's feed just got cut off. Noooooo, Anderson!

Yes, I have incredibly fucked up priorites. Shush. ETA: Okay, Anderson is back on and fine. Also, modeling for Maxim apparently!

BTW, here's another article on FEMA's censorship:

... when fucking SHEPARD SMITH and GERALDO RIVERA of Fox News are breaking down on live tv and reporting actual reality, bitchslapping Sean Hannity & refusing to play by the GOP spin playbook.

Watch this clip on Crooks & Liars - Geraldo is CRYING, holding a black baby and screaming why can't we get this people out of there. I never, never thought ( Read more... )

Trent Lott is on Anderson Cooper right now, saying (and I quote):
"I am pleased with the Federal Government response" and "This is not a time for complaining."

What the fuck is wrong with this man? Does he not have a soul?!? SO MUCH HATE OMG.

Hopefully this clip gets on Crooks & Liars pretty soon.
