Bradzilla: Brad and Angie make it official




I was so happy for Brangelina, finally getting engaged after all these years, that I almost wet myself yesterday.
The kids will no longer be bastards, in the old sense of the word.
They can now legitimately adopt a few more.
Give them cool names, like Peach or Cherry.
Move to the suburbs of Atlanta and do a reality show.
Adopt Erma Bombeck's slogan: If life is like a bowl of cherries, why am I always in the Pitts?
News of the impending nups made the twitterverse go crizazy with comments like "I thought they were already married" and "who cares?".
The entertainment media cares, that's who.
The studios are creaming themselves.
Entertainment Tonight broke into its 24-hour coverage of Dancing with the Stars. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is fuming that Angie's ring is better than hers.
Now don't get too excited.
Billy Bob put down that dildo.
They haven't set the date; he's only given her a promise ring, meaning Brad might marry her maybe when they're old and grey. Or if neither of them has found someone else when they're, say, 100, they'll get hitched.
Throw caution to the wind.
Wouldn't want to make another mistake like Jen, hey, Bradeo?
And don't get me started on Gwyneth!
Being a born cynic, I suspect the engagement was announced because award season is over, and they aren't getting covered enough. There isn't some natural disaster that Brad could put his name against. Or maybe there's a bad action movie that Angelina got her lips around and she wants everybody to know about it.
In any case, it's done.
The wait is over.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Too bad there isn't any real news in the world.
Like trouble in Syria, or some serious shit happening in North Korea.
A presidential race. Or tornados ripping Oklahoma a new one.
Oh wait.
Never mind.

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
