WTF?

Current mood: annoyed
I've been extremely busy these last couple of months.
Also I live in the middle of no where which is nice, but it does have its down sides such as a weak satellite T.V. signal, and no internet at the crib.
I took a day off of work this week to do what I do best: JACK SHIT. I went back to sleep, woke up and watched IMF, IFC and CNN all day. That being said, I CANNOT go silent. Rather I have to get something off my chest.
WHY DID CNN SPEND THE ENTIRE WEEk talking about a MESSED UP Astronaut and her "love triangle" only to replace that "NEWS BREAKING STORY" with the "legacy" of a ex-stipper playboy bunny Gold Digger?
What the fuck?
O.K. cool, we send nut bags to space....honestly yea that story intrigued me. Not because Nowak is a nut (seriously though, how sick do you have to be to drive from Texas to Florida to kick some girls ass?–well, I do have few ex's that are capable of such- But by the time the average Joe hit Mississipi they'd decide it was a bad idea and turned the truck around) but because the judge changed the charges THREE different times in a span of eight hours. Each time he upped the stakes to make the chargers more severe, a judicial move that blew my mind. More weird is that every time Mrs. Nowak appeared in court she was as calmer then a sleeping baby. Even though she is facing 20 plus years in jail.
Moving on fucking Anna Nicole Smith.  No disrespect for the dead, I would not wish the loss of a friend/family member/fuck buddy on anyone, but WHY are the nations first, second and third largest news networks SO STUCK on this loss? She's not princess Di, she's not Marilyn Monroe (though I bet she was killed conspiracy style the same way MM was) she is a woman, a dead woman. DROP IT.
These things tell me something about our nation: WE ARE A MAJORITY OF DUMB MINDLESS INDIVIDUALS. Not everyone, me for instance, Jonak (big-ups!) STS, Bry (sometimes) the lovely Maja, so on and so forth, But the majority of this country is not weighing in on what is important and is apatetic to any thing that really matters but empathic to everything that has NO BEARINGS on their life. Why is that?
Whatever so just in case you care:
