Well, I guess you've already heard, Britney's filed for divorce from K-Fed, citing the always popular "irreconcilable differences". This is huge, and symbolizes a new direction that our country will be going in. Britney Spears as a single mom as opposed to one with a Kept Man changes the entire landscape of magazines like People and US, and VH-1 TV shows about celebrities doing silly stuff with commentary by C-list comics.
Pres. Bush said in a press conference that in spite of last night's events, we cannot "admit defeat"; but unfortunately the Britney/K-Fed divorce has already claimed its first casualty: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has resigned. I think he just needed some time to collect himself in order to re-evaluate the new cultural landscape in this great country of ours. Maybe he thinks he's got a shot with her now.
And who wouldn't. On some levels, she's a dream girl. Even at her messiest, there's something about her that just reinofrces our faith in the United States of America, that we really can make a difference. When being a Pop Star was no longer cool, she didn't pretend to be Latino like Christina Aguilerra (sp?... who cares), or African American like Justin Timberlake (even though I loved his first CD); she married a broke, jobless, white dude in a wife-beater and had two kids. She didn't try to fool the American people with fake urban credibility or by trying to earn a Ghetto Pass, she went back to her legitimate White Trash roots. It makes me proud to live in this country.
And her divorce last night simply reinforced that pride. It's a new day in the United States, and I'll tell ya what fella', I'm more than just a little excited. Though I was a little melancholy after leaving Mads again, the news on Election Day that Britney was single again has reinvigorated me. Let's go Teen Gang!
