Really? That's The Running Mate You're Going With?
It's the changing of the season, Hard Thinkers. We've gone from Olympic-palooza to Lolla-Politic-a. The summer games officially end today. And to mark the occasion, Mitt Romney named his running mate yesterday. It's Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan. You might know him as the really young looking guy in Congress who won't stop bitching about President Obama's policies. So, y'know, there's that. Plus side: at least we don't have another Sarah Palin VP candidate on our hands. Remember that chick? She was so DUMB...
Anyway, yes, the Olympics are drawing to a close. And you know who's paying the price for the coverage? People working on late newscasts at NBC affiliates. The coverage has been going into the wee morning hours since it's scheduled to go until NBC gets bored and decides to let the affiliates do their thing. I'm sure some of the affiliates are bummed about having to stay late, but you, as a viewer, rarely hear about it...until now:
Y'know, with the state of sports being cut on many local newscasts, that guy really ought to stop bitching and be glad he's getting a paycheck. Otherwise, his elderly butt would have been in bed 8 hours ago. Wait, maybe THAT'S why he's so cranky...
Speaking of cranky, let's talk babies. More specifically, let's talk the number of people who can't help putting their babies' security at risk by posting photos of EVERY SINGLE THING their children do on Facebook, Twitter, Twitbook, etc. For those of you who are sick of it, might I recommend an awesome new app for your computers (essentially, for the Google Chrome browser) called unbaby.me. The app will remove all (or at least MOST...this IS technology we're talking about) the baby pictures that come up in your browser and replace them with something AWESOME, like bacon or sloths. You pick it. Actually, if I could see a picture of a baby wrapped in bacon, I'd be okay with it.
And now, this week's moment of "Why Reporters and Photographers Deserve Hazard Pay"...
