That Was the Week that Was - In Blogs

Yes, I know we normally do this weekly post on Sunday, but I had other things going on yesterday which I no doubt will write about later this week, because blogging is my life and my life is an open book.

Speaking of a life that's an open book, what in the world is going on with Britney Spears lately? The Huffington Post is telling us that she’s naked a lot; popping pills and is saying many bad words. To tell you the truth, I don’t know if I’ve ever even heard her sing. I have two questions in regards to this: 1) Can she sing? 2) Is her being naked, popping pills and all the rest really news?

Somewhere in Wisconsin, parents are talking to their teenagers about sex. Episode #12 of the Midwest Teen Sex Show fills us in.

Wonkette informs us that a crazy vampire lady is endorsing Hillary and Gawker reports that Obama may be losing to Hillary lately, but is pulling ahead in the all important logo wars.

Here’s another question. Should the next President of the United States believe in evolution? Can you believe that some of the people running don’t? Crooks and Liars fill us in.

Ari Spool at The Stranger’s Slog Blog wanted to do something good, but apparently tattoos and blood giving don’t mix.

In the Porkopolis Blog last week, Gregory Flannery talked about some appealing people – namely anti-war protesters. It’s always amazing to me how people who want to give peace a chance and stand up for it always end up in court or in jail.

And speaking of amazing: men in Cincinnati are being paid money to go sit on the toilet. No kidding. That’s the kind of city we are. The Cincinnati Nation gives us this strange story.

I’m off. I’m going to go sit on the toilet, take a book with me to read on evolution while sitting there and maybe I’ll even listen to a little Britney Spears music while taking a dump to make some money.

Only in Cincinnati.

As far as Ms. Spears, yes, she does have a lot of talent and what she's going through is news to a lot of her fans.

I guess watching Britney fall all to pieces is something called "entertainment news" to those of us who can't stand her.
