Thoughts From A Headline Addict...

I am a total news junkie, did you know?  I love current events.  MSNBC.com is usually my second e-stop in the morning, right after I have logged in to Mint.com.  I check the headlines throughout the day, always curious about what's going on and whether or not anything interesting is happening. 

This morning, MSNBC reports the following:

• "Lindsay Lohan sentenced to 30 days, won't serve it all"  I'll be damned if this girl is not ON MY LAST NERVE.  I'm sick to death of LL headlines.  But at least it's pretty easy for the writers and editors.  They can basically recycle the same old headlines, over and over again.  "Lindsay Lohan Is A Hot Mess";  "Lindsay Lohan Violates Parole"; "Lindsay Lohan is Going Back To The Pokey", etc. etc.
• "Trump Accuses Jon Stewart of Racist Rant!"  I'm confused about when we started giving any credence to what Donald Trump has to say.  Let's go back to the day BEFORE that day, shall we?  Being rich does not necessarily make you intelligent.
• "Rescue Dog Dies After Saving Owner" ... Wah!  I'm going to petition MSNBC to stop running stories like this.  I can't keep having cry-episodes in the middle of my work day.
• "Jury in NYC Convicts Russian Arms Dealer" The Merchant of Death?  What an interesting life he must lead.  I hope this ends up on Dateline, I'm dying to learn more!
• "Herman Cain:  There Are Factions Trying to Destroy Me" Uh, yeah.  If you count YOURSELF as a "faction".  I guess you missed the memo about how your personal life tends to get involved when you get into politics.  Maybe you should just start by avoiding situations that will later get you in trouble. 
• "Greek PM convinces cabinet to push referendum deal ahead"  Dear Greece.  Quit ruining my damn retirement.
