Headlines that make me want to tear out my eyes and stick them in my ears

Joe the Plumber Lands Book Deal – When I started writing my book no one had ever heard of Joe the Plumber. Now, he signs a contract in November and is scheduled to release the book December 1. UGH!

Sarah Palin Signs $7 million Book Deal – Again, a few months ago no one had heard of her. I remember hearing people on the radio discussing how to pronounce her name after she was announced, “Palin…rhymes with nailin’.” Honestly, I heard someone say that.

Timmerman Cuts HBO Channels from Cable Bill to Make Way for Diaper Bill – Yeah, that’s not an actual headline and it doesn’t make me want to maim myself. Suffering the loss of True Blood and Entourage is a small price to pay for keeping my little girl-to-be in diapers.
