Why must people say “Question” before asking a question? Why not just ask the question?
This is an irksome linguistic trend that has now reached advertising geared to women, who seem to say “Question” before asking a question more often than men do, as seen in a new Vagisil ad which is mercifully not available online, but sure enough, it begins with a screen shot of the word, and a woman’s voice saying “Question.” Grr.
I always want to say “Answer!” when I hear the flatly declarative “Question.” Someone told me that it’s a way of acknowledging the interruption. I’ll take, “Hey, got a sec?” or even “Hey” or just “Chexy” instead, but just asking directly is less of an interruption.
It’s verbal spamming. Why must I wait while someone organizes their thoughts? Question: How about organizing your thoughts, then asking the question?
Thank you, and good morning William Safire, wherever you are.

When an octogenarian sex expert tells you that the internets are bad for keepin’ it real, perhaps we should prick up our ears, or prick up something.
In an interview with AP to discuss her upcoming documentary project on minority groups in Israel, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, 82, cautioned that social networking and other online tools are replacing real intimacy. Real intimacy? Memba that?
“It is a catastrophe, all of this virtual being together,” said the tiny sex doc. “I think there are people who get hooked on the internet. If they need to look at explicitly sexual material to be aroused there is a problem … I am worried that the next generation will not be able to have a real conversation.” Like, awesome, I know, right?
Dr. Ruth added that it was all part of a trend of “more openness but less intimacy.”

Jew-hatin’ imbecile Jesse James has found his burnt match in reality idiot Kat Von D, and I’d say it’s a match made in a garage somewhere in Orange County.
The moronic Von D tweeted this morning that she was indeed dating the former husband of Sandra Bullock, who kicked his ass to the 405 off ramp after his affair with a Nazi-esque stripper became front-page news.
I hope these two will be happy together — they can spend all their free time getting tattooed, because it looks so pretty on them.
Remember, kids, nothing says I loved you like having to remove a tattoo.

While Kim Kardashian’s face continues to undergo its metamorphosis from attractive Armenian girl to stretched and filled Imelda Marcos wannabe, she has accentuated the chipmunk-cheeked horror by choosing the dreaded fleshtone lipstick — which looks good on no one.
Kim is only 30 years old, but has already achieved the cosmetically enhanced look of a woman more than twice her age.
This is not beauty.

Designer Betsey Johnson as she appeared today with an Eloise doll at some nonsense for rich children who stay at the Plaza Hotel.
So alike, and yet one has weird clothes, fake hair and dead eyes.

NO! She’s done it again! Camilla just loves this skirt and will not stop wearing it, as you can see here.
Today the Duchess of Cornwall, with fresh yellow highlights in her hair to accentuate her delicate features, wore that damned dotted thing to visit the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which treats service personnel injured overseas.
I’m sure the sight of Camilla makes every sick person feel better.

Five months ago, a captive killer whale killed trainer Dawn Brancheau at SeaWorld in Orlando.
Now SeaWorld has enlisted the help of noted pothead and perennial arrestee Snoop Dogg and this captive sea lion, Clyde, to pump up attendance at their San Diego park. Oh, my nerves.
Please do not support the imprisonment of animals for amusement, or the imprisonment of Snoop Dogg for pot.

If you’ve always wanted to buy some Elvis memorabilia, here’s your chance to pick up the autopsy tools used to embalm the King back in August 1977. There’s also a toe tag.
The sale takes place August 12 at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago, where you can pick up a pair of rubber gloves, forceps, lip brushes, a comb and eye liner, needle injectors, an arterial tube and aneurysm hooks, all of which the auctioneers say were used only once.
The collection belongs to an anonymous senior embalmer from the Memphis Funeral Home, who kept the instruments, and a shipping invoice marked “Elvis Presley.”
The death dreck is expected to fetch about $16,000 combined for the two lots.
The late Elvis earned $55 million in 2009, according to Forbes.com.
