Matt Lauer
Okay, so right from the subject line we know this is going to be a gutter roll, and that can mean a number of things of course, but when we're done they're all more or less the same. But first let me answer the obvious question, why the hell was I watching Matt Lauer? The answer of course is that I wasn't really watching. I was at the gym and someone had put the damn show on one of the tvs over a treadmill or something and it invaded my eyeballs while I was lifting weights. But what did Matty say while I wasn't watching him to annoy me enough to type this little ditty?
So they start the show and Matt announces that four American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. That made me mad, but not at Matt. It was what Matty boy said next, which if I am to believe the Closed Captioning (and I generally do) was more or less "reminding us that Afghanistan is still a dangerous country".
No shit, Matty. Did you figure that out yourself? Or is part of the info they pour into you skull before you come on the air? Maybe getting into some string theory research in your off time? Of course its fucking dangerous! That's where all the loony bad guys lived. And we sent 15,000 troops there to get them and most of them vanished into the mountains while we had 130,000 or so troops getting ready to invade the wrong country. Seriously Matty, don't you remember? It wasn't that long ago and people do talk about it occassionally.
Maybe you should spend some time there Matty. Understand the story first hand, in at least some ways it has to be better than say stuff like that.
