I mean, what more perfect gift for a bed-ridden, legless, 150-yr old husk than a billboard she can&#8217;t go out and see?  <strong><em>Ausgezeichnet<\/em><\/strong>, Mein Prinz! I certainly hope this gets you out of having sex.   :yuck: <\/p>\n<p>I also saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/07\/27\/taylor-armstrong-domestic-abuse-real-housewives_n_911492.html?ir=Los%20Angeles\">a story about somebody who is apparently a &#8220;star&#8221; of a &#8220;show&#8221; called Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or something<\/a>.  Didn&#8217;t really read the story, but I was drawn to <a href=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/316843\/thumbs\/s-REAL-HOUSEWIFE-TAYLOR-ARMSTRONG-ABUSE-VICTIM-large300.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">the photo of said star<\/a>, because, at first glance, I thought to myself, &#8220;holy shit, somebody smacked Julia Roberts in the face with a <strong><em>very<\/em><\/strong> hot frying pan!&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s other news out there besides Hollywood celebrity type stuff.  For instance, Amy Winehouse&#8217;s autopsy was inconclusive.  Which I think means there&#8217;s a possibility she isn&#8217;t actually dead.  We may not know until October, which I think is pretty unacceptable.  If she&#8217;d been found dead in Las Vegas, Miami, or NY, CSI would&#8217;ve had this wrapped up in less than an hour.  My guess is that Michael Jackson&#8217;s doctor had something to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, much as I&#8217;d love to keep my nose buried in the important news of the day, I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s off to more trivial pursuits &#8211; paying the bills.
