August is usually so dull and boring that if it was the corpse during the opening of an episode of CSI: Miami, Horatio would stand up from crouching near the body, pull his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and say, "Looks like someone got so bored they jumped off the roof to death." YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! But actually, this was one of the more action-packed weeks in a long time! Are you kidding me? Gwyneth Paltrow caused 9/11. Jon and Kate died. And GERARD DEPARDIEU PEED ON THE CARPET OF AN AIRPLANE! Phew. What a week. But now it's time to put on our best Divine Rags outfit and go fascinate the hell out of somebody. See you Monday!

[Assoc. Ed. Note: Great job, Patrick M! "Congrads." I think one thing we can all say for ourselves this week is that if we can't thank God for working through Gwyneth Paltrow to save this one woman's life on 9/11 by almost running her over, we can at LEAST thank God for giving us the story about it. Thanks, God!]

| I can see the meteorologists now, staring worriedly at their monitors as a warm front of BEING WOMEN meets the icy cool front of BEING BLACK, and in the middle, the perfect storm of INVENTING BULLSHIT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. | |||

[Assoc. Ed. Note: I really don't know what to say to this? Obviously this is an insane comment. And I don't want to but that much more thought into a response than this person put into the comment itself. So -- Poor racist must fuck like dogshit.]

Despite her heroism, Gwyneth is still carries regret from that day. “I didn’t do enough!” “You did so much.” “This car. Ten people right there I could have saved by almost running them over with it. Ten people.” | |||

[Ed. Note: I just made this joke the other day to my friend Max in an on-line chat, except that my variation on the joke was related to a new kind of snack he was eating called Pretzel Crisps, and that turned into some kind of Schindler's Crisps joke, which, EEK! It's complicated. And always good that my grandmother does not read this blog. But, you know, HAHAHAHAH.]
