Lindsey Lohan is Gay?

So, I've been hearing about crazy celebrates for awhile, and whenever one went without undies or got drunk and plowed their pink mustang into the side of a building, I've always heard about it no matter how hard I've tried to avoid it. But in the last few weeks I've been amazed at how low key the media is on the whole Lindsey Lohan deciding she's gay thing. And she's getting married! wow! but I only know this because I check a movie sight every day that has made it their mission to chronicle the event.

Sorry, folks, no real point but, but I'm flabbergasted at the inconsistencies of the media... sometimes being gay is huge, but other times it's almost ignored. Kinda like when a celeb does something positive... could it be that going gay is now a good thing, thus NOT newsworthy? Or is it that I just live under a rock?

I'm weird like that... when it comes to a frank and intelligent conversation or debate about current news and politics I usually don't have much to say... I blurt out a few quasi intelligent phrases then sit back and listen to the vengeful wrath of the other person..... but get me started on the latest debacle from the pages of marvel comics and I can rant passionately for hours. I think the sad truth is that I could just never really care as much about real life. Hey, it makes me a bad person, I admit, but guaranteed I enjoy my discussions about comics fantastically more than I would enjoy listening to your mature political debate. and that's all that matters.

For instance, in recent months I've tried to define my politics and decide just which side of the line I agree with... and as I learn about republicans and democrats and right and left, I can't help but know deep in my heart the whatever decision I make, the whole matter will never matter as much to me as deciding between Marvel and DC.

Why does politics matter so much to people? Or the lives of celebrities? Are people's life just that boring, or is there something I'm missing? I care about politics, but the moment I start losing sleep or hell, the moment I start losing personal me time on any level, I'm done and I move on. I wonder if some people just enjoy the conflict, enjoy the debate?

To be fair, I know many politically savvy people do care for valid reasons, unfortunately I can't list them because they make little or no sense to me. Anyway, if you want an intelligent discussion that basically covers my feeling on the subject, check out Votaries of Horror.
