I had the misfortune of watching some daytime tv this morning. Good grief...
MSNBC - a so called news station (NEWS!), had a story that droned on for 10 minutes: Britney Spears Comeback: is she out of touch?
switched the channel and it was
Usher (the rap guy) cooking with Martha Stewart. Holy crap.. what is going on? When they started dancing in the kitchen, I flipped the channel again.. to
Rachel Ray - whose guest was Teri Hatcher. Rachel Ray writes cookbooks, yes? Teri Hatcher doesn't eat.. how does this makes sense?
The only saving grace was Susan Sarandon on the Today show. She was on to plug what looks like a ridiculously stupid movie that would seem to be beneath her. The conversation veered into her activism. She launched into a great speech, which I'm paraphrasing:
I came of age at that time, where if you had half a brain or half a heart, you were active.... in the late 60's, early 70's you thought you could change things. We stopped a war, there was segregation in the south... you had news programs were you actually saw what was going on, unlike now where you don't see things that are happening
at this point she gazed around around the room at the people behind the cameras and you could almost hear Al Roker choke.
Fantastic!
