Breaking news from our friends at CNN…

Actress Elizabeth Taylor urged voters in next week’s Democratic primaries to back Hillary Clinton’s White House run, saying in a statement released Friday that the New York senator was “not a flibbertijibbet.”

I tried looking that up, and Google suggests that maybe I meant Flibbertigibbet. I find it amusing that the Wikipedia article already mentions the CNN article about Elizabeth Taylor.

I’m still not sure how this news translates into anything meaningful…like war, education, the economy, the environment, energy policy, health care, etc. Add my stupid blog to the meaningless echo chamber, I guess. We’re doomed.

I don’t really watch news, but somehow I catch a lot of it second hand. I may listen to a news station during Opie and Anthony commercials, or read some headlines on the web. Thanks to the way they repeat the “good stuff”, I consider myself informed and up-to-date. Here is what happened in the past few days. Oddly, it’s mostly beer-related.

1. Obama said some people were bitter.
2. Hillary and McCain jumped all over that.
3. Hillary got booed for complaining about Obama’s negative attacks.
4. Hillary had a beer. And a shot. Obama mentioned the photo-op in a speech.
5. Oops…turns out Obama had a beer in some bar several months ago.
6. Some Republican Congressman called Obama “boy”, and then apologized. (was he drunk?)

I think that about covers it. I’m ready for my own beer.

Someone he knew said something…
