The world is full of stupid people

I'm back! And there is a lot to cover.

1) Britney's planned c-section: Aside from the terrifying reality that those two people have procreated again, how stupid is planning a c-section just so you can decide when your baby is born? Come on, people, this is major abdominal surgery! It's not a toy! And if you can have your babies naturally, you should. Don't waste your statistical chances on dying on the table on making sure little what's-his-name is born a Taurus, rather than a Gemini. Save it for old age and important things like quadruple bypass surgery.

2) Bush's 9/11 speech: Using this most hallowed day to promote your war and your desire to torture people. For shame, Mr. President, for shame.

3) Bush supporters: And while we're on the subject, why do so many people blindly support this man? Blindly and belligerently support him. People whom I know to by highly intelligent, sit there and nod their heads when he declares the war in Iraq is the war on terrorism, as in the war we began in Afghanistan after 9/11, when in fact, this war has nothing to do with 9/11 or Al Qaeda. And these people won't even enter into a friendly debate about Bush either. It's their way or the highway. With his ability to stir this kind of single-minded blind devotion, I might worry that Bush is the Anti-Christ. However, I don't think he's smart enough for the job.

4) The dude who dropped the bolt for the space station: So, you're doing a few repairs out in space and you drop a bolt. Good luck finding that puppy. I don't know why, perhaps too much Nyquil, but that news story made me laugh my ass off. You can see the guy looking around and thinking, "Now where did that go?" as it floats off into deep space.

5) The season premiere of "Grey's Anatomy": Aside from the fact that I still am incredibly pissed off that Denny died, I cannot wait! I spent my sinus infection recovery time this weekend catching up on season 2. Will whiny, lispy Meredith choose McDreamy or the hot vet? Will Izzie ever practice medicine again? Will Denny's evil, indentical twin show up to claim his body? Will it all be just a bad dream, like Bobby on Dallas? And speaking of Denny, where was his family? I don't recall (although I was whacked out on Nyquil) any mention of a family. Did he just fall out of the sky? Maybe I shouldn't have watched the entire season at once. Made me think about it too much.

THE SUPREME WISDOM OF THE QUEENOSHEBA

Let no man, in mankind's fraility, consider his own good fortune, until life, at his death, is a memory without pain. I'm paraphrasing Oedipus Rex here, but you get the point.
