And that’s the only thing that really makes sense at this early hour. It really isn’t a good idea to be reading headlines when the sun’s been out for less than an hour:

Paris Hilton to go free at last on Tuesday – Free at last! Free at last! BFD. And this headline goes along with this one: Larry King to interview Hilton – Didn’t Larry King used to interview more people with substance than this back in the old days?

Prince William, Girlfriend Reunited? – Well, they’re both cute and I’m sooooo terribly happy for them both… yeah, you can hear the sarcasm, can’t you? Why, on my iGoogle page, does this rate being the Number One story for ABC News, CNN, CBS News and World News? Why did I have to dig for more newsworthy items such as: Iraq’s ‘Chemical Ali’ Sentenced to Hang and Nine U.S. troops die in Iraq? Hmmm cute royalty versus terrorists and war? Meh.

At this hour, the Slap Up the Side of Head Award goes to these two idiots: Patient turns off life-support because it ‘kept him awake’ – Maybe his injury was a lack of brains and common sense? Rev. Jesse Jackson Arrested at Gun Shop Protest – Of course I’d choose any reason to Slap Jackson, but I’ll pull my punches here with a caveat; I can understand the good intentions behind the protest, but in my opinion, protests are noise and we’re a society that’s gotten damn good at tuning out the noise. Don’t like guns? Do something more proactive than a protest to get the laws changed.

That’s it for my morning. I’m going back to bed.
