"...And There's Some Court Thing Or Something Going On In, Uh...Colorado, I Think....But, Really, Do You Think Randy Will Stay?..."

Further proof of how we've lost our bearings.

Perusing today's spectacular headline news....

American Idol isn't giving up its diva power, with Mariah Carey landing as a judge as Jennifer Lopez departs.

Female 'Idol' contestants have been channeling Mariah Carey for years, so it's only fitting that the octave-defying diva is the talent show's newest judge.

Sponsored LinksCarey will join the judging panel for Season 12, Fox programming chief Kevin Reilly said Monday, confirming a deal with the pop and R&B star to a national gathering of television critics.


...when both CNN and Yahoo! both let this "breaking news" pop up in the middle of my perusal...

(CNN) -- Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, died Monday after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer, her company said. She was 61.

"Sally lived her life to the fullest, with boundless energy, curiosity, intelligence, passion, commitment, and love. Her integrity was absolute; her spirit was immeasurable; her approach to life was fearless," read a statement on the website of Sally Ride Science, a company she started to help teach students -- particularly young women and girls -- about science, math and technology


I know, right?

When, oh, when are we ever going to get our priorities right again???

Makes one weep for all of mankind.

Oh...and who do you think the THIRD judge will be?
