So Fred Thompson's gotten tired of playing a political contender for the White House and decided to return to his day job, can't say I'm surprised. I mean campaigning is hard work! See ya, Fred, and be so kind as to take Ron and Rudy with you, huh? The thought of an America run by any of those 3 is enough to make me start filling out the necessary paperwork to move to Canada.
And apparently Heath Ledger died, which is sad but probably not too unexpected. There are only so many times you can read about a young, attractive, wealthy actor offing him/herself with a drug overdose before you end up shrugging and thinking, "Yes, and?" Though Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog notes that at least a couple of commenters over at Free Republic are blaming it all on the fact that he played a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.
*sigh*
Let's not even go into what's happening to the economy and stock market right now. I can't even bring myself to check out my 401K right now, I'm just glad I started cutting back my contributions to it at the end of last year when I could clearly see what direction things were heading in. It's going to be a belt tightening year, no way around that, sadly. Though on the plus side I did my taxes and I don't owe much so there's my silver lining I guess.
