and WHY do we care that the first lady got a burger?!

Helicopter crashes? I recently saw something on the news about another one of those. I turned to my hubby and said - well that shoots down the idea of me ever getting in a helicopter. I saw a report once that was talking about a little girl in a burning building. They were trying all sorts of things to get her out and nothing was working. They decided to send a helicopter up there with a crew.... well in the background behind the reporter, everybody watching the report saw the helicopter which was supposed to rescue the girl crash and burst into flames, adding to the fire and killing the pilot and crew. At the time, I started laughing, not because it was funny but because the result was so awful if I hadn't been laughing, I would have been bawling. I can do without news like this. I know bad things happen. I just prefer not to be that viscerally AWARE of them happening.
I don't think they got the little girl out of the building either. She probably knew she was going to die when she saw the helicopter crash... and if I remember right she was only about five or six years old.

Oh dear. Now that kind of news is so heart rending Id like to get a break from it. I want to know whats happening but the nature of some of the occurences are just so hard to absorb.

The crash does seem funny, comic even but the reality is truly touching.

So that was what we may have missed out on uh?

Cant say it would win my heart over the burger story but that is news. The burger story amounts to journalistic idleness.

I don't need to hear anything else about them.*I* am not in love with them, I don't care what they do, what they eat, where they go. I just want them to fix the economy and make sure there is medicare and social security around for future generations. That's all.

Um, I am sorry if you believe she is worth more than any of us, I just don't happen to think so. Because of that, this whole thing about reporting about anything she wears, anything she does, or anything she eats is completely ridiculous. If you would do it for Joe Blow down the block, then fine, but if you wouldn't, then don't do it just because someone is the First Lady. I hardly feel that's a title worthy of celebrity stalking.

Like I stated before, the ONLY reason the media even does crap like this (and it IS crap) is because there are MORONS who actually tune in and CARE about this, they talk about it, they watch it. It is not important, and it is these stupid people who follow anybody considered a 'celebrity' who makes this happen. I know she is not valueless, but she is not BETTER than you and me because we aren't the president's wife. Also, I fail to see what makes anybody better about being a x graduate. I see people make comments about education that way and that really irritates me. Education is good, but it simply does not make someone better or worth more.

I'd rather hear about you, how was YOUR day? What did you do? It really does make me sick that people just have to elevate these other ordinary people into the stratosphere for what is really no reason at all. I have never considered the president or the president's family 'celebrities' and I think we all need to butt out of their lives. I'm not much interested anyway, like I told someone else, it's not like they're my FRIENDS or anything. Why should I care?

Yep, so true. It's like these people have no lives they're more interested in other's than thier own. That's sad

Burgers. BURGERS?!! Yeah, wtf. I mean they do have to eat you know! If you don't eat, you DIE!

The media is full of $&!#

If someone followed me around and reported that I got a burger, I'd have some paparazzi's blood on my hands! Seriously, what's even worse is that they allow this to go on!

i don't know if they allow it as much as they really can't do anything about it. if you are in the public eye then you are not fair game. sucks i know

I think the media employs people who have IQs below 70 I'm not quite sure why else something like this would qualify for news. What's sad is that it was CNN, which used to be reputable.

I saw this funny thing on the show Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were on, that Newlyweds show on Mtv? In one segment she didn't know how to use an ATM card to pay for gas at a gas station (what normal person doesn't know how to do that?!) and in another segment she was arguing that tuna was chicken, not fish... and in another she was burning pancakes because she didn't know how to make them!

I think it's definitely FUNNY to see people who are now famous and their shortcomings but when you think about it, oftentimes their shortcomings are because they never had a normal life. They never did normal things that other people learned how to do. When you don't ever do something, of course you won't know how to do it and you'll fail miserably, especially in public on camera lol.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

I got a new mouse!

now you can return to your regular mylotting

Hi Stormy!! Where's the beef? Not in my dinner tonight... I grilled fish lol.

What color did you paint your nails? I might do purple later tonight after I take my daughter's friend home. I mean I'll do HER'S purple. I'm not sure yet about mine. I was going to get a pedicure but I had an issue with my phone the day I was going to do it.

I did mine bright red... cause I hardly ever do red and I got a red pair of open toe red shoes that matches perfectly.
mine were purple! before that they were black
