Stupid Headlines

Ticker: 'Law & Order' star bashes NYC, Giuliani

This was the headline on a CNN story link about Fred Thompson commenting on how stupid it was that our friend Rudy was talking up what a great mayor he had been.

Now, I don't know about you but I think that is just stupid. Granted old Fred isn't exactly setting the world on fire as a candidate but don't they think that just maybe they should identify him as "Thompson" or "Fred" or even "other candidates" in the link text? I honest to god thought it was going to be something about Sam Waterston.

To be fair, the actual article had a sensible headline but that isn't what got me to click through now is it?

I am not sure why this pissed me off when I saw it given all the really egregious crap that goes on in the world but it did.

Stuff I Blog about

A friend recently asked me why I only write about upsetting things in my blog. It is a valid question I think.

I guess I could write about my cats.


Or I could write about my daughter.


Or I could write about Bif Naked


Or I could write about the fact that my company has helped to recover 146 missing kids.


And all of those things would be great stuff to blog about. But for the most part I do tend to talk about stuff that pisses me off


or confuses me


or just makes me go "what the fuck was that"


because that is what gets me engaged enough to start typing.
