All the news that's not news...

Okay, I get it: Obama's choice for a running mate is kind of a big deal. His choice will open up a large block of otherwise inaccessible voters. (Chances are he's not going to pick a slightly overweight white videogamer, so I'm still gonna be on the fence).

But seriously, for the last several days every time I log onto CNN.com one of the lead headlines has been something like: "Obama still hasn't announced a VP candidate!" That's not news! That's NON-news! Why don't we all just assume you'll tell us when he HAS announced a selection, and until then you can write another article dedicated to Michael Phelps. At least Phelps is actually DOING something. In fact, today's article literally starts off with: "The question is starting to feel a little old: Who will Barack Obama pick as his vice president?" Seriously, some day I want to be so famous that I can NOT do something and it becomes headline news for a week.

In other non-news:
-Alien life still hasn't been discovered.
-Britney Spears is weird.
-People who have iPhones are pretentious and annoying.
-Six still isn't equal to seven.
