snark of the year

Was driving the car this morning, listening to "Wait, wait, don't tell me" on NPR. One of the news stories they were discussing was Tom Cruise's meltdown on Today. You know, the one where Cruise accused Brooke Shields of the heresy of treating post-partum depression.

One of the participants (I think it was Mo Rocca) pointed out that "every time Cruise has a new film released, he changes something. Sometimes he appears in public with a new beard. Other times, he shows up with facial hair of some sort."

It took a few beats -- I was driving, after all.

When the dime dropped, I damn near drove off the road.
