Yawn. I'm So Bored

Paris Hilton's photo was plastered all over the papers and internet sites recently. It seems that she went to the Viennese Ball, and was bored. There she was, checking her cell phone, looking for all the world like she was bored out of her empty little blonde head.

Why is that news? It's bad manners, but rudeness is so universal it's hardly worth reporting. The least she could have done was look interested, maybe talk to some of her fellow ball-goers.

Well, guess what? Somebody call the Associated Press, because I'm bored. And here's what has me zoned out of my skull:

Paris. Not the city; the bimbo. I'm bored with the likes of her and Jessica Simpson, and other marginally talented people whose only contribution is to serve as a good bad example. Excuse me for a moment while I yawn deeply.

Britney Spears is boring as cat litter. No one's heard her sing for a while, or whatever it is she does. All we know is that she can't stay married, loses her undies, and likes to go out and get wasted. Boo-o-o-o-rring! Since no one apparently is paying attention, she bounces in and out of rehab like a rubber check, and now she's gone and shaved her head. And gotten a tattoo. Whatever it is you're trying to say, Britney, I'm not listening. La la la la la la la --I can't hear you.

Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. The nominating convention is so far off in the political distance that you can't even see it, yet these two are already sniping at each other like a wife at her philandering husband (about which Hillary has some knowledge). It's even too early to speculate if one will be the other's running mate, and they'll HAVE to make nice with each other. I'm tired of these two already. If this keeps up by the time 2008 rolls around, the country will know more than we ever will need to know about how these two feel about each other. And, all of it is totally booo-o-o-o-ring.

Global warming is deadly boring. Al Gore is back in the fray warning everyone like Chicken Little that the ice caps are melting, the ice caps are melting! We have to find cleaner burning fuels, drive less, fly less, it's too late we're doomed. But we still send that Space Shuttle up through the ozone layer and call that progress. Sigh.

A Viennese ball sounds exciting to me.
