I Keep Hitting My Head On This Stupid Debt Ceiling!

Good morning, Hard Thinkers...depending on which day of the week you read this blog, we're either on our way to a total economic collapse or it has already happened. Or, you know, Washington lawmakers decided to stop bickering like little children and ironed out a deal. Either way, mazel tov. If you're going to buy your Casey Anthony Halloween mask, now's the time to hit ebay. (shit you not, this really exists)

Hey, don't get me wrong...it's hard out there for a pimp congressional lawmaker. But these tough times are hitting people hard all over the place. Take the news media. It's getting so people in Philadelphia can't hear about animal hoarding without someone butting their nose into the story:

Fox 29 Reporter Attacked During Live Report: MyFoxPHILLY.com

My favorite part of that clip? The look on the anchor's face at the end. I can't tell if it's a look of disinterest or indifference. A quick note...the guy with the tattoo on the back of his arm that jumped the attacker is one of the animal cruelty officers on the scene. Looks like an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter.

While we're on the subject of tattoos, you probably know by now (if you gave a shit in the first place) that Sandra Bullock's ex Jesse James has broken up with walking graffiti art Kat Von D. Want to know how to get rid of Kat Von D quickly during an interview? Start talking about Sandra Bullock's ex Jesse James:

Kat Von D Walks Out on GDLA Interview: MyFoxLA.com

Best Kat Von D interview ever...the one that never happened. (by the way, Kat, on behalf of producers everywhere who put together a newscast based on specific times for segments: fuck you) You hear the gang at Good Day L.A. referring to Sandy, who is obviously Sandra Bullock. They were also asked not to talk about Jesse James's mistress, Bombshell McGee. Kat Von D's response on (meh) Twitter? “Dear GoodDayLA, thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion n respect for eachother never fails to dissapoint me.” Hey lady, you're going to put yourself out there AND try to promote your show, you better damn well be ready to answer questions about the newest things going on in your life...for better or worse. And it's DISAPPOINT with ONE S and TWO Ps. Idiot.

Want to know which network news anchor wouldn't put up with shit like that?:

I'll leave you with one more clip today. It's of a live report where people were expecting to see and hear from the woman accusing former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault. See if YOU can figure out something big is happening before the live reporter does:



Here's a tip...if you are the ONLY REPORTER left at a spot while there's something going on somewhere else, you are probably going to get yelled at by the boss. The funniest part of that clip to me is that the REPORTER posted the video HIMSELF! "Hey, you should've seen all those reporters running behind me to show something about the World Trade Center...I guess it blew up or something...anyway, I'm going to continue my story about adorable homeless cats on the streets of New York." Hey, next we'd like you to interview Kat Von D...I'm sure there's NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER that you'll actually ask her something pertinent.
