E-Dribble

I’d like to take a meandering walk along various points of idiocy:

Obama and Gaga race to 1 million Facebook followers.

This could be used as a perfect reason why I neither vote nor use Facebook.  I don’t know what amuses me more.  The fact that people think either Obama or Gaga update their own pages or whether anyone at all thinks those numbers represent actual fans.

Hey, speaking of Facebook, If you’re getting divorced, you’d better hope you’re not sharing too much. Who thought that this network that allowed you share every single detail of your life with people you don’t know could have been used against you? Frankly, I’m shocked.

Hey, speaking of divorce, if you’re a woman and you unsuccessfully attempt to murder your husband, not all is lost.  You can then divorce him and get half his shit. I have been well trained since childhood to know that I am supposed to apologize for being both white and male, but this might be going a little far.  Giving half of my stuff to someone after they fail at trying to kill me seems as if I’m awarding a consolation prize for their incompetence.

If I got mad enough to kill her, would they give me the stuff back?

The NY Times reports that the all-American couple, the Obamas, gave the Queen of England an i-Pod filled with music and pictures from her 2007 visit as a gift.

I would absolutely love to hear the RIAA’s thoughts on the President giving the Queen some music. How would the entity that has sued household pets and corpses for sharing music feel about music being passed from one hand to another in this fashion with nary a concern for the owner’s rights? How would the RIAA write up the resulting press release when they notify the American public that our President is a pirate?  It would be a fantastic read, I’ve no doubt. Aww, come on. I can’t be the only one that would find comedy gold in “RIAA vs. Obama”.

And the Queen?  Well, now she thinks we’re all mindless sheep that pirate music.
