Segue Silliness

Goodness, the newsmakers have been busy as bees lately...

I wasn't going to write about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to New York but then he had to go and say, "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that like in your country. ... In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this." Methinks he doth protest too much!

Speaking of stupid quotes... a senior Bush official called Barack Obama " intellectually lazy". And yes, I just linked you to the Drudge Report. I'm going to burn in Hell now along with Kathy Griffin. Oh wait! I don't believe in Hell! Sorry... Obama might not be ready to be our next president but intellectually lazy? I guess it takes one to know one.

Speaking of Bush... Kanye West had this to say about the president, "I have a hard time believing that George Bush cares about anyone. So, sidebar, black people also. You know?" I'm not sure I do, but I agree.

Speaking of black people... the mayor of Jena, Louisiana also doesn't care about them and welcomed white supremacist groups and their "moral support" into his town. The story mentions David Duke so you know they're all a bunch of jerks. Seriously, though, I hope more and more white supremacists come out of the woodwork so we can all see what complete and total losers they are.

Speaking of losers... here are some choice morsels from Bill O'Reilly about the differences between white people and black people. The surprise? There aren't as many as he thought! That he finds this surprising is what makes him an out of touch white dude.

Speaking of white dudes... Wes Anderson's short film The Hotel Chevalier will be available for free download on iTunes as of tomorrow. The film is getting a lot of press because apparently Natalie Portman gets naked in it.

Speaking of iTunes... my celebrity boyfriend Hugh Laurie, along with Band for TV bandmates James Denton of Desperate Housewives and Greg Grunberg of Heroes have recorded a version of Cab Calloway's jazz classic 'Minnie The Moocher' and apparently it's a surprise download hit.

Speaking of Heroes... I won't write any spoilers but I will say I was a bit disappointed. However, I see the promise in some interesting developments. What excited me most, though, was the appearance of Stephen Tobolowsky! I love that guy! What disgusted me the most? NBC's constant ad snipes at the bottom of my freakin' screen! Cut it out already!

Speaking of NBC... I really wish they weren't hyping the Bionic Woman premiere as the event of the fall season because I've seen the pilot and let me tell you... it's not.

I could go on and on, but I won't. I have to go lift weights and watch Oprah.

Catch ya later tater,
Ms. P

ps. I'm very excited about a new blog feature I'm debuting next week with Louisville's very own My Morning Jacket. It's called "The LP Questionnaire". Stay tuned for the oodles of fun it's sure to be as noteworthy citizens of the world bare their souls via questions like, "Which evil villain would make the best president?" I should have qualified that with "besides the one we have now" but that's just redundant!
