Because I am brain-dead, I am watching “TMZ,” quite possibly the most pointless show on television.  The subject line of my post is a direct quote relating to a hard-hitting story about, get this, Oprah’s dogs being carried onto an airplane.

This is kind of a funny night to watch “TMZ,” actually, because they’re livid about that huge Sandra Bullock story that came out in People today. Harvey Levin is stomping around yelling that she told People exactly what to say. He’s red-faced and looks ready to have an aneurysm. One of his flunkies is pitching in about how “that isn’t journalism.”

They immediately followed this incisive critique with the story about Oprah’s dogs, showing us all what true journalism is.

I had a notion that Id live-blog tonight’s entire episode, but I can’t stand another 20 minutes of this inanity. I’m going to take a bath and read a book instead.
