Another random famous person sighting. Well, at least Pittsburgh famous. Don Cannon, a local news anchor was checking out books at the Half-Price book store. I have to give credit to Terri for noticing him first, since she was the first one in the store. Since most things come in 3's, I wonder who is next in this weird SAT question. "What comes next in this sequence...Jim Leyland, Don Cannon _____?" Thoughts anyone?
While I was walking around the book store, a few of the clerks were having a conversation about Cheney's little "incident." Apparently there's a conspiracy theory floating around that Cheney shot him intentionally to send a message to "Scooter" Libby about keeping quiet. Why didn't he just send one of the Area 51 aliens to suck out that part of his brain? It would have been easier.
Who sits around and dreams this stuff up? In addition to the fact that laziness, a decline in general intelligence, apathy, and things like ipods, audiobooks, and the internet have caused the decline of the written word it might be due to the fact that all the really good fiction is being passed on as fact nowadays. It's getting harder to dream up stuff more cockeyed than what the American public is being asked to believe by media whores like Oprah, Dr. Phil, and the White House Press Secretary. I'm just sayin'.
