Things I'm Annoyed At Being Made To Pay Attention To Lately

[muckefuck]

1. Tracy Morgan Didn't have a clue who he was two days ago and didn't feel I was missing a thing. (I live in a cave where broadcast television does not penetrate.) But after my FB feed started bubbling with outrage, I began checking to see what kind of non-apology apology would be forthcoming.
2. That article in the Grid As someone summed it up in ontd_political: "White cis men discover that they don't have to give a fuck, news at eleven." Whatever it takes to sell ad space, right brunorepublic?
3. Weiner's wiener Some kid was ranting about this into his cellphone on the shuttle this morning. Day Two of this scandal and I was already thinking, "I'm so glad we don't have anything important to worry about, like civil wars in the Arab World, killer bacteria, or an economy still in free fall."

Interesting points. I enjoy women in comedy as much or more than men. Lily Tomlin was also one I really loved - but that probably dates me :-)

"Though the show may also just be reaching its limits overall."

I agree, Morgan is definitely being played off, its a decent ensemble, the article I read indicated that Fey and Baldwin felt like they've really done most of what can be done with the premise and their characters.


mir, then lets be dated together, I love Lily Tomlin and I don't recall a time before Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner and Larraine Newman, and there is the goddess of curtain rods, Carol Burnett....

The curtain rod gag still makes me laugh.
