Total shits given about 2008 Olympics: Zero and holding steady

[skitter_sklint]

Did you hear this shit? This shit going down with Georgia and Russia? Because I haven't. I've read about it, but the Olympics have a fucking stranglehold on the news so instead of international conflict we get... reporters flirting with gymnasts? Michael Phelp's body proportions broken down? With so much in the dark on the conflict and a lot

They have all been covering Georgia as a top story. If you are relying on 24 hour news networks to get your news... yikes. How are Brangelina's kids BTW?

Heh, I don't really know anything about their kids.

But like I said it's not a problem of lack of information as much as lack of affirmation. I want Mr. Big Living Room TV to confirm its importance, and it's scary to realize I depend on that.

The local news down here seriously gives more time to gossip news than real news, so NPR has become a really good friend of mine.
