[small voice in the wilderness]

..someone who puts little hearts above her i's. I'll guess we'll know she's toast when she puts an upside down smile on her happy face.

"I thought this was SATIRE, until I went to the link! I am flabbergasted!....whatever that means"

At first I thought "Scrapleface". Then I went back to the top of the post and looked at the source, unfreaking believable!

[Robert A Cook PE]

That was actually my hope as well.

[Cagey]

True story. My wife found one of these in a catalog and mentioned she is going to buy it. She's messing with my mind, I think.

Visiting the White House is always a humbling experience. I’m always in awe of the history those walls have witnessed.

We're in awe of the history that was apparently gotten away with from 1993-2001. If walls could talk....

And I was impressed by the respect President Bush has for the place. He even told one of our producers “Straighten your tie, young man. You’re in the White House.” I loved that.

Words fail me. Well, maybe not totally. Like, this would sound majorly more appropriate in Valspeak, y'know? But since I was never a cheerleader, both the tongue and the culture are foreign territory to me.

In this small piece Katie uses "I" "I've" "I'll" 40times and the word "My" 33 times. Egocentric?

[Babu]

"Now, Isn't that just special, Qati!"

[meowmeow]

I thought this was SATIRE, until I went to the link

OMG - I did too! What a total freaking idiot. She gives every real business woman (in ANY industry) a bad name. I just wanted to puke while reading this giggly dear-diary (in pink ink) swill.

Gosh (giggle), maybe I should do one, too.

Dear diary,
Today we launched the sweetest little satellite (and the blue rocket was so retro!). I felt like, so Vernher Von Braun!

[Thommas]

There were interviews and rehearsals and meetings throughout the day.

Hmmm. How about doing a little research into the news of the day and spending a lot less time on the choreography.

[Issaquahking]

Just trying to read this tripe was painful. "The perky one's" yammering made it crystal clear as to why I don't watch alphabet soup networks. My eyes hurt reading the works of what appears to be written by a junior high girl, after summer vaction.

Katie girl, step back and let the adults handle the news. Take your rattle and go play with your lib friends. I have to go...such jibberish has left me feeling ill...

[Crawdad]

There were interviews and rehearsals and meetings throughout the day.

Just like on Hee Haw.

No Honey, they aren't stabbing you in the back.

Why bother, when you insist on stabbing yourself in the chest, in public while wearing a perky smile?

[maggief]

[Inspectorette]

"Dear Diary - today was such a cooool day!"

Pathetic.

[DBrow]

Stay tuned!

She'd be more popular here if she'd said "Stuned!"

Maybe if a moose bites her...

[Charles Henrickson]

Needless to say, it was what we call in the business, a crash. (That means there was very little time to put the interview together!)

Ooh, insider lingo! I'm impressed! Katie must be a Serious Journalist!

[DBrow]

"For the first time in a long time I actually had the sensation that my heart was going to actually penetrate my chest and end up on the scripts in front of me"...

Sigourney Weaver as a replacement maybe?

[MplsSteve]

LOL!

I like the image!
