Hey, everybody, welcome back to Thinking Hard...I'll be with you after a moment in the hospital with violent morning sickness (let's be honest...is there ANY morning sickness that's NOT violent? What would that be exactly? Clearing your throat and spitting just a little bit of vomit out?). Seriously, I wish I could be happy for Kate and William, but after having their wedding shoved so hard down my throat I thought I was being intubated, it's just SO HARD TO CARE about Kate having little heirs. Especially since I've been staring at magazine covers in the check-out line at the grocery store for MONTHS saying Kate's pregnant...then later, they cover their asses by saying "Pregnancy Shocker: Kate Loses Baby!" Ridiculous. And then you get the radio DJs calling the hospital where Kate was staying and pretending to be the Queen. Yeah, the first nurse who fell for it killed herself the next day. And every "news" program leads with her pregnancy. What is it about celeb pregnancies that make people in the media act like morons? ESPECIALLY IN ENGLAND. Look, I get it...the world mourned in the 90s for the death of Princess Diana and we've been watching her sons grow up into princes who get married on live TV and who go to war after dressing up like Hitler. But didn't we WIN the Revolutionary War? Didn't we win our FREEDOM from all things that have to do with England? I feel like America was born...left the home for college...went out and worked a few years...then decided to go BACK to live at home because it was easier (see also: the desire to go back into the womb). Tell you what.. while I sit here and pound my head against the keyboard, I'll let someone else handle this:
I don't really give an F about the royal pregnancy...but that's probably because my F was used elsewhere. Take a look at this survey from a Milwaukee TV station:
Yes, I believe Americans should have the right to bear fun.
Hey, one more thing today. I'm flying home for my annual holiday trip next week, so there's a good chance this place won't be updated for a week or two. But this week marks our 5th birthday here at Thinking Hard. We hit that 10,000 reader milestone this year and I'm thrilled that you've stuck with the ramblings posted on this blog for so long (admit it, you're here for The Daily Show). So just a quick note of thanks for your support. And we'll be back to you in a week or two.
