This is News?

There is a lot going on in the world right now:

The War
Presidential Election / the Iowa Caucus
Unemployment in the US highest in years
Effect of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination – Pakistan on the verge of civil war
Deadly riots in Kenya
A writers strike that has cost Hollywood over half a billion dollars

But when I turn on the news what do I see?

That’s right folks, five different talking heads jabbering on about Britney Spears being crazy, as if this is something new.

Apparently Britney lost it while handing her kids over to her ex-husband’s bodyguard, who was there to pick them up. There was some sort of stand-off and the court appointed officer, who was there to monitor Britney with her kids, ended up calling the cops. When the cops arrived they went into the residence, eventually they brought Britney out strapped to a gurney. They suspected she was on something and at the hospital placed her on some sort of suicide watch. As word got out about what was going down the scene turned chaotic.

She is obviously not well, and her condition is only exacerbated by all the cameras constantly shoved in her face. If I were to venture an educated guess I would say she is suffering from Schizoaffective Disorder, where both symptoms of Schizophrenic and Mood Disorders exist. This is basically when someone exhibits a impaired perception of reality, most commonly in the form of auditory hallucinations (voices in her head), paranoid delusions, and disorganization in thought & speech. There is also the presence of at least one manic and/or depressive episode. Sounds like out girl right?

If I am right, then I can't wait for her to show up one day, wild eyed, making messianic proclamations about herself.

Or, she could just be whacked out on Angel Dust.

Either way, her sister being a teen mother doesn’t seem all that bad now does it?
