Britney Spears never really bothered me before - until I read this article. What kind of zombie planet does she live on? Has she read 1984? And more importantly, I can name 12 people (who I see every day or am related to) that offer far more intelligent opinions. But you don't see them quoted on MSNBC, now do ya?

Her comments are the sort of thing that most people just brush aside. But I can't. Because it's that kind of mindless, vapid, infantile pablum that's keeping people from being as outraged as I am about what's happening to our government and to our republic. I've known for some time that my worst character flaw (okay maybe not my worst, but it's definitely in the Top 10) is that crazy people make me crazy. And this is just crazy talk. So why does the Fourth Estate continue to give play to this sort of nonsense, when they should really be reporting -- and not offering opinion or regurgitating someone's press release? Sigh.
