lesbiassparrowI am just now starting to watch this and what I really want to say is: Tracy Scoggins, get off my screen! You're a sad replacement for Ivanova - you're not even the poor man's Susan, you're just annoying. Everything about you irritates me.
And not related to the above at all, but in light of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meyerlemon's recent posts on George Clooney's opera dancer/current girlfriend, why does Yahoo constantly tell me that he has no plans to marry ever? About every 2 weeks they have a 'story' about this completely uninteresting piece of celebrity 'news.' It's even less interesting than celebrity news normally is. Is this about all his PR machine can come up with - endless stories on how he will never wed? Are we supposed to care?
Speaking of Yahoo, here's a quotation from their coverage of Bush's defense of US interrogation methods (i.e. torture) on terrorist suspects:
Speaking emphatically, the president noted that "highly trained professionals" conduct any questioning. "And by the way," he said, "we have gotten information from these high-value detainees that have helped protect you."
Well, I for one am heartened that the torture was done by highly trained professionals. I'd hate to think that the US government was just letting any old person have a go at tormenting suspects. I assume that this means that Bush is also admitting that they have torture 101-501 courses somewhere so that these people can become highly trained. And professional! Can't forget the professional element. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go and throw up.

That makes it a little bit better. But yeah, she's annoying entirely on her own merits, too. I do block her out of my mental Season 5 a lot.
