This and That

It’s another Wednesday, the mid-week “hump day” many of us groan through until Thursday’s promise of Friday is fulfilled. This time last week part of the world was all a-flutter over the pending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton (now a Duchess and officially “Catherine” doncha know) and the air was full of anticipation. It was very easy to write about all of the frothy doings, fun for many a blogger to speculate, articulate and pontificate about every little thing. “The Royals” are always entertaining to watch despite how boring most of the public appearances can be.

Now it is a week later. All is quiet on the Royal front. Despite new sis-in-law Pippa and Prince Harry reportedly leaving the wedding after-party at the same time on Friday night, even the tabs can’t exploit a possible hookup to liven-up their covers. Harry was busy being busy with his Chelsy Davy cohort at the Goring Hotel where the party continued on until dawn. Now, what fun is that for tabloids and other gossip-based publications? No fun at all, that’s what. “Everyone” would just love Harry and Pippa to get together. “Everyone” but the subjects, apparently.

Sorry, tabloids. You have to go back to the same-old-same-old stories with screeching yellow headlines you’ve been using for six years. “BRAD IS MAD OVER ANGIE’S LESBIAN AFFAIRS” – “ANGIE CHEATS ON BRAD WITH WOMEN” – yammer yammer.

Really? Angelina Jolie likes women too? You don’t say! Gasp! Brad is upset over it? My guess is that he’s thrilled about it. Gives him more time to varoom around LA on one of his reported 13 motorcycles where the high-end bikes regularly break down in view of those pesky pap’s who quickly snap pictures of Pitt standing by the non-functioning machine pathetically waiting for a ride. Or, in video form, able to catch him falling off a bike while in transit in heavy traffic. Or running a stop sign.

Anyhow, back to the news. Or lack thereof in today’s post. What can I bring to you that is newsworthy beyond the bin Laden saga? The American Congress is back at it with attempts to repeal abortion. Donald Trump is still pissed at the jokes made at his expense at the White House Correspondent’s soiree over the weekend, and Sarah Palin’s poll numbers continue to drop.

On second thought, I think I’ll go back to the story with more juice.

Hey Angie! Do you want to make everyone mad at you even more than they are after six years with Brad Pitt, you homewrecker, you! Now is your chance to amp up the rants. Give Pippa a call and show up together at the next Royal ball. Leave Brad at home with the kids, wrap your incredibly skeletal arms around Pippa’s barely-there-perfect-waist, then enlist her to join you on your next UN Mission to help humanity. That should breathe more toxic air into the increasingly redundant publications for at least a year.

I can see the headlines now: Angie Is Flippin’ For Pippa!

That’s it for now. Thank Gawd…….
