feeling a little
ok
president ford (yeah, well, he avoided it at least twice... had a good run and all that)
james brown (jump back)
saddam hussein (but damn)
it has been a long week.
i have a window that looks out on the city of baghdad tonight, or (because my husband likes to channel surf during commercials) across the street to eric cartman's house... or sometimes i watch cars crash into each other on the highway. all in the same hour i can watch prostitutes arrested, babies born, buildings explode, or bundt cake batter in a standing mixer in martha stewart's kitchen studio.
i know i'm not the only person allowing these images to tell me what to feel, or even how to feel it.
the question now is how to feel about this murder in particular.
i want to feel okay about punishment, sort of, i suppose...
but
i imagine a moment of silence... and then we all begin to hug each other. its over its over we're all supposed murmer, clutching, burying our faces in, the pin stripe shoulders which bear the burden of evening news. turn to the left and hug anderson cooper... and then just as quickly as anderson goes to commercial, i'm supposed to turn and gather the little starving sudanese boy into my arms. tell him its over its over, as if killing bad men, or at least this one, could solve all the world's problems.
makes you wish there was an all scrubs all the time channel. scrubs week on comedy central is really helping... maybe we should petition to get ... oh, nevermind...
how long did it take YOU to make the elliot-roseanne connetion?
