TGIWTF??!!?!

In the past hour, my office has exploded in disbelief twice. First R. Kelly was acquitted of his child pornography. Then Tim Russert dropped dead of a heart attack. I won’t get into my feelings re: the fact that the prevailing reaction to the former was “no fucking way,” and to the latter was “who?”

You know what’s going to suck? Election night in November without Tim Russert and his white board. I am dead serious. Chris Matthews is going to slit his throat on television tonight, I’m pretty sure. Keith Olbermann will be heart breaking. Barack Obama and John McCain are probably conflicted. Dang, what a loss to the circus.
