The tears of a clown
Note to Hezbollah and Israel: You're making it very difficult for me to do my job. Humor does not abound on today's news pages.
Yet I press on ...
Miss Universe 2006 will air tomorrow night on NBC. The title seems to be a bit deceptive, since the beautiful, leggy creatures of Omega 7 were stopped by the Minutemen at the border and sent home. The Daily News will have a post-game photo gallery, just in case you want the magic to last a little longer.
The Miss Universe pageant has the notable distinction of being the only competition in which the Germans and Russians abstain from steroids. However, I'm not clear on whether or not plastic surgery counts as a performance-enhancer.
The crown looks a little bit small for Miss Universe, but then again, these are tiny women.
I'll once again be outside the Shrine Auditorium protesting the misogynism inherent in such competitions - and, you know, trying to get some digits.
