Mid-Week WTF's

1. Spending over $150 million on an Inauguration--WTF! Are we in a recession or was I just dreaming that hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs and/or homes? It's hard to believe that four years ago, so many people gave Bush grief for spending $40 million, not even a third of what was spent yesterday. Either inflation has reached ridiculous heights over the past four years or our new President went just a wee bit overboard...

2. Rich, famous people driving drunk and getting DUI's--WTF! Shia LaBeouf's license was just suspended for a year after being booked on a DUI charge. Let's hope his hand heals soon since he's going to need it to hail cabs from now on. I just don't get it. You have money...you can afford a cab...hell, you can afford a driver! If I was rich, I'd be pulling up in limos all the time! C'mon people--get your heads out of the beer keg long enough to make a decision that's not going to result in a mugshot! Speaking of mugshots, here are some of my faves...


3. Britney Spears' new song, "If U Seek Amy"--this is actually a two-part WTF! Part 1: The song itself--WTF! The title is supposed to be suggestive because if you sound it out, phonetically it resembles the letters F-U-C-K but I just think that the song makes no sense. Some lyrics to the chorus: "Love me, hate me Say what you want about me But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy"--sounds dumb doesn't it? Part 2: Radio stations banned the song because of its suggestive nature, forcing Britney to change the lyrics from "seek" to "see"--WTF! First of all, now the song makes even less sense than it did before. Second, are these the same stations that, in the past, have aired songs like "I Touch Myself," "How Many Licks," "Too Close" a.k.a the 'Boner' song, and "One Minute Man?" This song seems tame compared to its many many 'suggestive' predecessors.

4. Joaquin Phoenix makes his rapping debut--WTF! Oh Jaoquin, where do I begin? Well, for one, you're white...and not the Eminem 8-Mile kind of white, the Oscar-nominated for playing Johnny Cash kind of white. The beard, the performance, the falling off the stage...it all just screams disaster! Joaquin, for the love of eardrums everywhere, 'walk the line' back to what you're good at--acting.

and finally...
5. I slipped and fell down the stairs yesterday--WTF!!!! It's not bad enough that I'm a complete spaz but I have to be completely karmically challenged too?! I mean, I try to be a good person and all I have to show for it is a big, ugly bruise on my ass. I'm sitting on a pillow for crying out loud! So I repeat...to the Gods, to Mother Nature, to whoever is still reading this...WTF!
