IRL News - 1/31/09

Almost nothing happened this week, but I’ve committed to posting on this thing regularly from now on, so here’s a bunch of news for you to have in front of you for a while.  Here goes!

• The Grammys happened, and everyone who attended dressed up like different kinds of spaceships.  Lady Gaga won some stuff, and “Halo” by Beyonce won, and I really need to reevaluate what I listen to/care about.
• Rip Torn got drunk and robbed a bank.  This is a thing that actually happened In Real Life.  It actually happened.  Reminder: Rip Torn also hit Norman Mailer with a hammer and Norman Mailer almost bit his ear off.  These things happened.  Why does anyone care about anything else happening.
• Those chuckleheads who “exposed” ACORN for giving tax advice to the wacky pimp caricature they dressed up as completely screwed up and attempted to bug the phone of a senator, on federal property, and are now basically going to go to jail forever.  To cut their losses, they are now blaming liberals.
• Rich White Man May Run For President
• I now no longer remember a time when people weren’t talking about or complaining about or overtly shilling for the iPad.  There’s no link to any particular news article or anything about it, I just want you to know that I’m tired of hearing about the stupid iPad.

That’s it for this week, hopefully some more interesting things will happen next week so I won’t have to talk about the iPad ever again.
