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."

I don't find Morgan all that funny per se, but I think his character may be necessary for the show's chemistry as someone for the others to react off-- the episodes without him didn't work as well as I might have thought. Though the show may also just be reaching its limits overall.
