Popped over to cnn.com to check out what was happening in the world...

The 'breaking news', in offensively eye-catching red, is that Jenna Bush is engaged to be married.

Since when was that newsworthy? Personally, I don't really care what she does with her personal life...

I don't know why I'm even starting a topic with this topic - I just sort of was awed that that was a HUGE deal.

It might be news depending on whom she's getting married to.

Maybe that's why Karl Rove resigned...

Oh, man, I just laughed so hard I cried. And almost peed a little.

There's a lot of irrelevant information on the news, which is why I don't watch it.

I typically read local newspapers online, I can't stand national news networks unless something happens that they all happen to be covering. Minnesota bridge incident is one example. Otherwise, I avoid them all like the plague, since none of them are objective it seems.

They have to fill up 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week with news. Expect lies, exaggerations and irrelevancies to make up most of it.

There used to be news about Chelsea all the time. If I may stoop to the "yo' Prez..." level of discourse.

Posted by Dobbie (Member # 3881) on :

Now if Chelsea Clinton were engaged I'd be pretty upset.

HAH! I just saw that she's marrying a former Rove aide (it's in the headline)... Too funny...

Jenna who?

Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :

The US' illustrius leader's daughter - the blonde twin... (if that was a real question ; ) )

Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :

Oh but it's now rumored that she is pregnant, and that will be quite exciting if true. Of course they rumor that everyone is pregnant so it is likely she isn't.

It will make quite the case for abstinence only education.

I'm not sure encouraging high schoolers to not have sex is in any way equivilant to a 26 year old with a trust fund getting knocked up. She's not exactly going to miss out on anything if it's true.

It's news. It just isn't BIG news to me. [Smile]

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

cmc - not a real question. Okay, so I don't know who she is, but I don't actually care. [Smile]

If she marries does that mean she can still be heir to the throne?

Or something...

Hell, I don't know how the royalty system in this country works anymore.

Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :

Nighthawk, it's pretty evident they're giving the guy she's marrying the throne since she's a girl and our president doesn't believe girls can be anything. Other than you know Condie.
