I'm jarvising on MSNBC this afternoon

I'm doing the 90-second "What's new in blogs" segment on MSNBC this afternoon. Now if I can only lose 50 pounds, get the moles sanded off, and have the hair transpants take, all before sometime around 5:15pm EDT. Unfortunately, that won't leave me time to come up with something to say.

Ah, vanity, thy name is David.

Your self-deprecation is one of the funniest things about you.

Tell us, what *is* new in blogs, oh Great Moled One?

Yes, the entire setup is impossible. "What are people talking about with their friends?" So, I'm going to try instead to pick a couple of topics that are at least interesting and worth looking at. I have 90 seconds...

Make sure you mention the favorite headline I read today: "Britney Spears is officieel een MILF"

They really mean "What are the bigfoot journalists/media people talking about?"

Not that understanding that is going to change anything.

Dr. D, you silly man!
I, for one, "like you just as you are" -- moles and all.
[from Bridget Jones]

BTW moles are "beauty marks" on women,... Men! Take back your pride through affirming nongender-based language!

I for one thought you looked handsome AND intelligent. (why the capital AND, I don't know).

However, I was a little miffed that you didn't mention how our Coco the hamster ate all 13 of her babies. I mean, come on. THAT'S news.

You could have even thrown in my endometrial ablation for yucks.

It's not every day they hear news like that.

Jeneane, a day or two ago, CNN spent at least 60 seconds on a parrot that sang ALL of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"...and then when the segment was tossed to the next "newsperson," he went on for another 15-30 seconds about it.

Had the parrot sung a heavy metal song and then bit the head off Ozzy Osbourne, THAT would have been news!

FWIW, I had read your post about the paterno-cannibalism of your fluffy little mammals, but it so throw off my vegetarian sensibilities that I spent two days under a warm throw rug eating nothing but miso broth. I'm feeling better now, although the incident has me questioning my fancying slightly stale Peeps.
