The State of the what????

Last nights State of the Union address, did you watch it? Political discussions aside, it always amazes me the dog and pony show that goes on with that. All the clapping and standing ovations and blah blah blah. There’s more pomp and circumstance than there is a speech. Personally? I get distracted by all that clapping and stuff. I just wonder sometimes what bozo tells them that we actually enjoy that? I mean, who is the State of the Union address for anyway, them or us? I was under the impression it was for us and I kinda wonder why we have to watch the cameras focus on who is standing, who is clapping and who is sleeping? Personally, I tuned in to see what the president had to say. Call me crazy…..

Actor Heath Ledger dies at 28

That's so sad. He was a great actor! He passed away yesterday. They've sent off for toxicology reports and as of right now the autopsy was inconclusive. He had such a bright career ahead of him in my opinion.

The Associated Press already has Britney Spears obituary written

Us magazine reports the Associated Press has Britney Spears' obituary already written -- you know -- just in case. "We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it's easily one of the biggest stories in a long time," AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington said. "I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now. Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now ... but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."

Can you believe that? It's so sad. I just wish that child would wake up and take care of her babies. That's what I wish. You couldn't pay me enough money for a life like hers. It's so sad. I truly hope she will get the help she needs before something truly terrible happens.

Rain-X in the Shower?????

Have you heard about spraying down the walls of your shower with Rain-X? Someone told me this keeps you from having to clean the shower so often. A good alternative to the expensive shower cleaners at the store. I was wondering if any of you have done this? If so, does it work and does it make the floor slippery?
