hell in a hand basket

Heard on TV last night:

"After the break, Valerie Bertinelli talks about Eliot Spitzer and infidelity."

Great. It’s not enough that we have Spitzer and his stupidityfest--we also must be subjected to a former teen idol’s spin on it. (Am I correct in thinking that everyone—men and women—of a certain age had a crush on sassy little Valerie Bertinelli back in the day? I’m sorry to be hearing her blathering all over the place, promoting her new book. She looks great but she's annoying.)

Read in the newspaper this morning:

Bargains move closer to home
With 3 outlet centers planned to open in ’09, area shopping commutes will get shorter.

Shopping commutes?

Hell in a hand basket, I say.

Sounds like you're in the same mood I'm in today! Haha.

This morning on Yahoo the first thing that caught my eye was "'KRISTEN' REVEALED." Argh. lol.

Ha! But I would like to know how you make so many thousands renting out your private bits.

Why does Valerie Bertinelli's opinion on Eliot Spitzer even matter?

Sophie said...

Exactly, Perplexio. It doesn't. Not one bit. But should you care to know, her soundbite before the commercial was, "Disgusting." I'm sure she had many other enlightening things to say but I had things to do.

This quest for soundbites reminds me of a recent (local) news report - the reporter was so anxious to get quotes he stopped one individual on the street to ask how well she knew the victim.

The answer caused the reporter a really red face... "Oh, I don't live around here, I just saw the news cameras and hoped I could get on TV." - This was on a major news network.
