Early Thursday morning, following news that Mitt Romney’s campaign was not attempting to purchase television advertising time in any of the states on the Super Tuesday calendar and that Sen. John McCain won Wednesday night’s GOP debate by default, Britney Spears was taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center and was placed on a 5150 hold – meaning that she poses a danger to herself and others — after her psychiatrist became alarmed over her downward spiral.
IMPACTING…
Update: For the record, Romney now plans to run a “significant” level of television ads in California and other states that vote on Super-Duper Tuesday. I would theorize that last night’s testy attacks by Sen. McCranky-pants got Romney’s dander up, except that the immaculately-groomed Romney likely has no dander. (Think I can get Hugh Hewitt to quote that?)

In news of someone who is a little more grounded than Britney Spears, my son, Matt the Marine, arrived home yesterday after a 6 month deployment with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.
Perfect timing, because Matt the Marine and Kelly the Marine Wife’s daughter, our first grandchild, is due on Feb. 10.

Grats to Matt and Kelly. Good news is a nice thing.

N.O’Brain - how can you celebrate the return of a soldier when Britney is in pain? Where are your priorities? There are thousands and thousands of Marines, but only one Britney.

LEAVE BRITNEY — ”
Aw, screw it.

Nah, she’s probably just old-fashioned crazy.

The best kind of good news N.O’Brain. All the best!

N.O’Brain
Congrats all around!

Huzzah, N.O. Brain!
Comment by Brainster on 1/31 @ 9:37 am #
Kudos, N.O.! Your son’s service is appreciated and yes, you can show us photos of the grandchild in a couple weeks!
Comment by Carin on 1/31 @ 9:47 am #
NO! NO PHOTOS! I have, at best, a tenuous grip on babylust ….
:)

Bravo Zulu, N.O.! My son returned in October and I know the joy, relief and pride you must be feeling…and a future taxpayer on the way to feed my bloated Navy retirement salary, Whoopee!
Comment by mojo on 1/31 @ 10:00 am #
She must be saved! Nothing must be allowed to jeopardize the Spears cash flow! Think of the hangers-on, man!
Comment by JD on 1/31 @ 10:02 am #
N.O’Brain - CONGRATS. I am not much of the sentimental type, but that seems like quite a gift. Treasure it.
Comment by Karl on 1/31 @ 10:03 am #
That is excellent news, N!
Do you know yet whether your grandkid-to-be has MDS?
Comment by JD on 1/31 @ 10:05 am #
I will deluge y’all with photos of my little one, due in mid-March.
Oh, and isn’t Spears such a waste? Hope she gets better. Maybe getting out of the spotlight, instead of screaming and yelling to get the spotlight on her, would help her out. Just sayin’. What happened to Momma Spears parenting book, and where are they in all this?
Maybe her and datadave could meet up in the padded wall place, and share some kind of mind meld experience.
Comment by physics geek on 1/31 @ 10:11 am #
You know who this story benefits? That’s right: Mitt Romney.
Actually, I’m more than a little horrified that a 25-26 year old girl has spiraled so far out of control that she’s likely to go toes up before her 30th birthday. I’m not a fan, but I hope that she manages to prove me wrong.
Comment by MayBee on 1/31 @ 11:02 am #
Congratulations, N.O. Brain!
JD, I look forward to your photos of babyD.
Do you know yet whether your grandkid-to-be has MDS?
John Edward’s national healthcare plan would have paid for prenatal screening for this debilitating condition.
Comment by BJTexs on 1/31 @ 11:48 am #
N.O.: Big congrats and a hearty huzzah for your son’s safe return and your pending “plebe.”
As for Brittany: while I have all the sympathy in the world for her mental condition I have imposed and am ruthlessly prosecuting a ban in my household on all of the celebrity pimping “news programs.”
I. Cannot. Stand. It. Anymore.
This ban will be in effect until Brit is less of a news item or my wife says “F**k off, fat boy! I’m watching ET!”
Comment by JD on 1/31 @ 12:21 pm #
BJ - That happens to me every time I turn on ESPN. The better half says “Back away from the remote, fat boy, we are watching E!”, and my angelic little daughter says “back away from my plasma, fat boy, we are watching Hanna Montana”. Then, I slink away into the basement, not to show my face again for a few days.

JD, you need more than one TV. And a supply of DVDs of Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf or something.

It could be in the end it’s the bulemia that keeps most of them sane really. I should apply for a grant I guess.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 6:30 pm #
Oh. I hadn’t read all the comments. Congratulations Mr. Brain! You will have baby just in time for Christmas. I like Christmases with babies better.
Comment by datadave on 1/31 @ 8:15 pm #
media whoredom! just heard a Hollywood business analyst state on the NPR Business show (good g-d!) that poor Britney grosses over 700 K a month. She’s a no talent buy sharp enough to know her mishaps will keep her great grandchildren in trustfunds indefinitly. Don’t support the habit. Ignore her.
Obrain, save up for a nanny!
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 8:33 pm #
What? She’s just Britney. The key word is gross there anyway.
Comment by happyfeet on 1/31 @ 8:37 pm #
I mean as opposed to net. Plus also child support.
Comment by maggie katzen on 2/1 @ 12:43 am #
yeah, happyfeet, I don’t remember where, I think in the paper (yeah here it is), they had a general breakdown of how much she contributes to the economy.
Comment by Andrew on 2/1 @ 6:23 am #
Britney = Marylin Monroe. It’s as simple as that. The celebrity monster, like Saturn, eventually devours as many of its children as it can.
Comment by mojo on 2/1 @ 12:27 pm #
Chronos, Andrew. Saturn is a cognate. And Roman, to boot. God of the harvest, and all that.
Comment by MayBee on 2/1 @ 12:54 pm #
I feel the streets are safer with Britney & Co off the road.
Comment by Jim Mirkalami on 2/7 @ 3:30 pm #
I have been coming to this site a lot lately, so i thought would be proper to leave a note of appreciation here.
Thanks,
