Kettle Calls World Black





The quote of the month belongs to Anderson Cooper. He actually managed to say last night with a perfectly straight face, “A lot of people are cashing in on the death of Anna Nicole Smith.”

Anyone more than Anderson or Larry King or CNN?

I know nobody – repeat, nobody – who has the faintest interest in this non-story.

The list of legends that were devoured by their own unmanageable celebrity includes Marilyn, Elvis, and James Dean. But it does not include this sad, minor talent and her even sadder young son.

Please, CNN, move on…Try news...

Yup, yup, and yup.

Watching TV from here in the U.S. I've wondered if these talking heads have any say in the programs they do? When yet another segment on Anna Nicole Smith is slated to come on, do they ponder what they're doing with their lives ... or just get caught up in all the money they're making?

CNN tried news -- it wasn't as lucrative.

Mo.

Hahahaha...so right.

Global warming is a good example of an issue that can only gain legitimacy whe it enters the realm of Show Biz, .i.e., the Vice President on the stage of the kodiak Theatre accepting an Oscar.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....
