Thought for a Random Wednesday

So, we watch a lot of the Disney channel around here; big Phineas & Ferb fans are we. So T, who like me could usually care less about any of this type of stuff, tells me that he read somewhere that one of the actresses on the channel has apparently come out of the closet because she was caught kissing that Bieber chick who dates somebody named R. Kelly. This Kelly dude is apparently famous for getting busted for running around peeing on people? Really?

Anyway, at a time when our country is coasting toward hell in a borrowed Chinese hand basket, can somebody tell me why this kind of nonsense is even considered newsworthy? Do we have this much spare time?
