did you hear what i heard?

did you hear about the man in belgium who was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state for 23 years and was actually conscious the entire time? what a freaking nightmare! a recently-invented kind of brain scan revealed that he was indeed concious, and so the doctor hooked him up to some sort of computer through which he can communicate. wow.

did you hear that women should have yearly mammograms starting at age 40? did you hear they should wait until 50 to have yearly mammograms? but then, they should begin at 40? at 50? at 40? 50?40?50?40? hey - what a coincidence! that's what i heard, too!

did you hear about adam lambert's performance on the a-m-a awards show? well, i can tell you about it because i saw it. the scoop is that adam's music is bland and his lyrics are trite, so he tried to distract everyone with theatrical homosexuality in his stage show. i suppose it worked b/c reactions range from bored to disgusted, but no one is talking about his [lack of] musical prowess.

did you hear that obama's first state dinner tuesday night included 320 people and cost about 1/2 million dollars? sounds like a ton of people and a ton of money, but i wonder about dinners hosted by his predecessors - how much did they cost & how many people were invited? yeah, it's nothing new - for years & years now our government has been using our money and not including us in the fun. boohoo!
