I'll be hanging out with the Shitcanned Media Elites over at ASSME.org for awhile—you know, a little blogging, a little this, a little that.
Should your Tuesday afternoon be getting you down, by all means swing by and check out the pink slippers—a change is a-coming, hallelujah. Etcetera, so on, and so forth too.
That's it? "OK" is my only option?
I feel terribly hemmed in here.

Lara Logan, "Drones: America's New Air Force"
Many, many times, as it turns out! Let's count, for kicks. From tonight's '60 Minutes' update of Logan's May 10 story on pilotless drones:
LOGAN (narration): "Colonel Chris Chambliss was one of the top F-16 fighter pilots in the Air Force, a member of the legendary Thunderbirds. Now the unit he commands has no jets—just pilotless planes known as the Reaper and the Predator."
Did she just say that his unit had no jets? One.
LT. COL CHRIS GOUGH: "I've never been more engaged in a conflict in my life."
LOGAN (narration): "And he's never been safer. Lt. Col. Gough sits half a world away from the war zone."
Ouch. Two.
COL. CHRIS CHAMBLISS: "In battle, in combat, in the fog and friction of war, there are always gonna be times that your judgment isn't with hindsight, you can see things with more clarity."
LOGAN: "But you're not there in the fog and friction of war. You're sitting here in your cockpit in Nevada."
Anyone else feeling kind of uncomfortable? Three.
CHAMBLISS: "Once you pull the cockpit out of the airplane, then whether you are 50 miles away from the airplane or 5,000 miles away, it really doesn't matter anymore."
LOGAN: "Do you think that distance makes it—it's kind of like a video game and not like real life?"
Seriously, the woman just can't help herself. Innuendo not intended; Pareene nailed it on the whole Baghdad hanky-panky front.
"Media workers have the gifts of adaptability and organization,” says Allison Hemming, founder of the Hired Guns talent agency (thehiredguns.com) and author of Work It! How to Get Ahead, Save Your Ass and Land a Job in Any Economy. “This makes them ideal project managers.”
Cannot take my EYES off of David Frost hammering nail after nail in the coffin of Richard Nixon's coffin on WLIW right now.
