POP CULTURE COMMENTARY

Ok, Folk, this will be a thing I will try to do at least once or twice a week. Hopefully I can give you a little bit of insight of the insanity I see in the world. Or at the very least make you laugh....

• Melanie Griffith to enter rehab for the third time. The third time? What trip do they tell you that you actually have a problem? You know what they say about rehab, third times a charm, or at least a really good enema.....

• President Obama takes his family on vacation. Most of americans can't afford a vacation, but that's not the story here. First Lady, Michelle Obama, wears shorts and the country flips out. When was the last time we saw a First Lady in shorts? Can you picture Barbara Bush in short-shorts??? Maybe football pants. Didn't she play linebacker in college?

• Reality show mom Kate Gosselin did ask the media for privacy during her divorce. This was minutes before she started doing every talk show known to man. She was on Larry King last night. I personally think her hair looks like butterscotch pudding.

• Bob Dylan is reportedly in talks to record his voice for a GPS navigation system. He would be following in the footsteps of actress Kim Catrall and actor John Cleese. This makes me think what other celebs should also get to do this: Jerry Lewis ("HEY LADY! turn left...") or, James Earl Jones ("use the force. take exit 39 now.") or, even get Yoda! ("Turn right on Bannock Street, you should have...") ok, maybe not Yoda.

And that Folks, is my commentary for today, Aug 26, 2009
