Some quick thoughts.

First question. How the hell is Russia in the G8 summit? I understand that this A- list of economic powers was made a few years ago, so don't you feel the need to update it just a little bit? Here's a thought, we could drop Russia. Really, since the Iron Curtain fell the only thing Russia has had the market cornered on was child prostitution and mail order brides. I'm not saying they can't ever be in the line up again but it's like when you break your leg in school and can't play at recess, once you are healthy again, that's when you can ease your way back in with the fellas. So drop Russia for a while and then we can add, oh, I don't know, maybe China. China is just one of the biggest economic powers on the planet right now. Let's also not forget India, they must have a booming economy with all the jobs America has outsourced to them.
Next and this is related to the G8 as well. Since when is France a world power of any kind? Isn't that the country that dropped the ball, not once but twice in a world war situation? History has shown us that you can not trust France to help with anything. They dropped the ball on the Treaty of Versailles for god sake and with that, all they had to do was basically turn around and look. Go across the border every now and then and ask Fritz if he is developing a standing army. That was it, that is the equivalent of me asking my neighbor if he has made any illegal advances in potato gun technology.
Here is a good news story, looks like an expert in the area of obesity has said that American Idol winner Jordin, is obese. This has prompted several fans to send death threats, angry blogs and tons of e-hate-mail to the woman. Look, all the expert said was she was not a healthy young woman and you have to agree. Since when did it become an extreme offense in this country to call a duck a duck? The obesity expert need not worry about the threats though, I am pretty sure the people who are all revved up about this subject aren't exactly the kind of folk that could sneak up on a person. Maybe they could organize a march against obesity, no wait, that would be counter productive to their cause.
Last of all how could I forget? Paris is out of jail and has to finish her sentence confined to home. Is this really a punishment? I am pretty sure that old Paris doesn't really mind being at home as much as you or me. If any one of us was confined to our homes for 45 days we would most likely go stir crazy but I will bet dollars to doughnuts that Paris's place is a bit bigger and nice than yours or mine. It's just as bad as when Martha Stewart got home confined to her forty acre ranch. What kind of world do we live in where even B-list celebrities get bailed out of their prison sentences? They released her sighting medical issues by the way, I will put money on Klaustrophobia. I think I will try that one if I ever go to prison. I bet I wouldn't get released though, infact, I will bet that would just make the late night rapings more prevalent. So it's a no go on my klaustrophobia plea then, unless I get lonely.
