End with a bang. But not literally.

kageotogiYes, yes, Dumbledore is all about the gay. I'm actually a little annoyed with J.K. Rowling for making that announcement (not because I have anything against homosexuality. Quite the contrary, as most of you can attest, but because I really hate how people are using this as a reason to be for or against certain sexual tendencies).
Now that I've alienated all of you, I'm going to go ahead and prove that there are other things in the world aside from Dumbledore and his sexual preferences. For instance, researchers have finally made a hit against the HIV! This is a huge breakthrough for the scientific and medical community, and I'm celebrating it heartily.
Also, did you know that there's a bacon-ator alarm clock? Essentially, the clock cooks bacon. While you sleep. And then it wakes you up with a smell (which I'm not sure would really do it for me) and a freshly cooked piece of bacon. Mmm, pig meat.
I'd probably get rather nauseous. But I think it's a fun idea. And the pig-clock is sort of cute.
Stephen Colbert is running for president in 2008! I'm not sure whether I'm horrified or thrilled, but I guess that depends on what happens. I'm getting Man of the Year flashbacks, though. Celebrities (who propagate fake news) running for office? Poorly calibrated voting machines? Corrupt business? Oh noes!
Hell, at least the movie had a happy ending. And if I remember correctly, drugs and pie. But not together, I don't think.
And this? I just found it interesting. Steve Martin wrote an alphabet book and it's rather adorable. I was less thrilled to learn about his Pink Panther sequel, but the remark about the French child made me laugh, so kudos to that.
Jim Watson, who won the Nobel prize for biology, apologized for making reportedly racist remarks. But who cares about that? The guy looks like a frickin' zombie. He should apologize for his face scaring the ever living crap out of me, and then we'll talk.
And... Um...
Have you heard? Dumbledore is gay.

Still. I really, really, really want to give her the benefit of the doubt. But then the rest of me kicks in and goes "Honey, honey, look. This... What is this? It's just not working", and that's the side that I think I have to go with.
