So, What's Almost New?

It's only Tuesday and so far the world is all a-twitter over so many things that one's news absorption is at Critical Mass.

It's going something like this:

Mitt Romney this, Mitt Romney that. Bain, Bain, Bain. Security for the Olympics is in "shambles" and the top executive of the private organization (or shall I write organisation?) responsible for hiring the security feels "sorry" for the mess but won't return some of the monies received to fulfill the contract.

Traffic in London is the gridlocked mass hysteria everyone predicted, led by outraged cabby's who are not allowed to use the Special Lanes set aside for Olympian VIP's of all sorts. Damn those athletes and officials wanting to get to The Games on time! Wills and "Waity" are bored with each other already! No sex. Hot Ginge Harry wants to find a mate. Murdoch. Hacking. More trouble.

Demi Moore's daughters allegedly want to file a Restraining Order against her so that she'll stop calling and begging them to stop hanging out with Ashton Kutcher while she does whatever it is that she does that freaks-out her daughters - and possibly Ashton. In the meantime, Katie Holmes is making at least one photo-op a day waltzing around Manhattan with Suri, smiling as if she had just eaten the canary that lives inside Tom Cruise's brain.

Oh look! It's (fill-in-the-blank) in a Bikini!! Mario Lopez looks good in his (fill-in-the-blank). Kardashian, Kanye. Kardashian. Kim. Kanye. Kanye. Kim. PETA is mad at Kim again – another animal purse! Paris who? (Fill-in-the-blank) is gay! Married. Divorcing. Engaged. Pregnant. Arrested.

Everyone's Favourite Neighbourhood Watch Guy, Mark Zimmerman, is an alleged pedophile in addition to being an alleged racist murderer who hides money from authorities and continues to receive a Get Out Of Jail Sorta Free card yet somehow manages to find himself falling further into not-so-friendly-reputation territory. That's what "they" are saying. A young girl is accusing Zimmerman of molesting her for years. That guy doesn't know when to put loaded pistols away, does he?  Game on!

Egyptian protesters have a sick sense of Protest Vitriol. Upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's arrival there on Sunday, protesters jeered "Monica! Monica!" at her (along with throwing shoes and tomatoes).  My guess is that she could care less.

Obama was booed at a basketball game until he finally gave in and kissed his wife. What was that all about? Did everyone in the stadium want a vicarious way to kiss the First Lady? Is there anything else? Yes, glancing over to the TV, I'm certain that Andrea Mitchell has to be a Size 0.

See you later.
