Some things baffle me

Any worse then Sarah Palin would be? Sarah Palin ranks a little higher on the intelligence level then this bimbo.

Palin would be better yes, she has done more then voted "Present" like the current POTUS.

I'll give you that much. I absolutely cannot take that show. I hate it so much, I hate when people talk about and I don't understand how people find that crap entertaining.

Show? I should admit I have no clue who Snookie is.

Consider yourself lucky! If you want to just do a quick search on 'The Jersey Shore' or 'Snookie'. I am not responsible for any lost brain cells though. It's one of those shows you loose IQ points watching so beware.

I could care less and it irritates me no end what is considered "news". I think everything needs to be categorized. If you want entertainment news, watch Entertainment Tonight. If you want sports, watch ESPN. I don't think either of those are "news" Things that actually effect EVERYONES lives is news. In the US I also find it appalling how little we hear about ANYTHING that goes on beyond our boarders. I listen to the BBC to get a better global perspective. I love Chelsea. Her parents did a fine job raising her and she's shown herself to be a fine person. Life in the spotlight can do a number on anyone (see: Brittany, Lindsey et al). She didn't choose to be in the spotlight. But she isn't "news" I think it's amazing in 2010 that terms like "shacked up" are still used. ROFLMAO!
I think Jon Stewart makes a valid point that having 24/7 news coverage makes it necessary to put junk on. There just isn't that much relevant news out there. Multiplied by how many channels? Cable and otherwise?
I think NPR does a decent job. Though occasionally I have to switch it off when they give half an hour to Eminem?

I personally don't have a problem at all with the coverage of Chelsea Clinton's wedding. For one thing, it's a positive thing ... and a positive thing getting media coverage is rare indeed these days. I am disgusting by the coverage "stars" get for all their bad, disgusting, assinine behavior. If the media wants to show us some class, and the lovely wedding of two nice young people in love ... fabulous! Much better than who got arrested, who is having an affair, etc., IMO.

I have always thought Chelsea Clinton is a classy young lady anyway. Difficult enough to be the president's child - I can't imagine the pressures and fears at that age. But she also had to deal with some very difficult issues between her parents: something that is terrible enough for any child to tackle, but she had to do it in the public eye, with millions of people involved. She seemed to handle those years with grace and class way beyond her years.

I say good luck to her and her new husband, may they have many decades of happiness.

Does the volume of news coverage of certain things strike you as absurd, too?

Oh my yes. The wedding was only one of many. Why / how does Palin keep in the news? She doesn't know squat, and can't use the language so has to make words up. Paris Hilton. Oh yes, there are way too many absurd "news" stories.

I want NEWS as news, not entertainment time.

When I heard that she asked bill to lose 30 ppounds for the wedding I tuned out.

Ask him to lose the weight for himself and the family, ya ditz.

I am a huge CC fan, but only because whe's the kind of gal that you want to get drunk with and try to make her use curse words and do bad things.

IT's not even a real marriage. This was just to get money and prizes and to show the people she knew just how special she is.

Justin Bieber is another modern day "WTF".. I wnat to grab him by the hair and cut it.


But, I would rather hear all the commontion about CC than listen to Mel Gibson die of an aneurysm on tape.

The buffoonery of the littlest Clinton is better than listening to people feuding?

It wasn't 30 - it was 15.

Sorry guys, not being American I hadn't even heard about Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good photos? I do love a good wedding.

Yes, I heard about this 30 lbs., too. He looked pretty good in the only wedding pic I saw.

With 24 hour news channels it needs to be filled with something.

I think that the wedding being in Rhinebeck was a temporary inconvenience which benefited the town in the long run. That part of the Hudson Valley is gorgeous, and is now on the map. I think Secret Service protection is extended to former as well as sitting Presidents; I'm not sure how long it's extended for the family. The thing I was amused by is how everyone was able to keep mum so well!
