Life in the Boomer Lane could barely contain her sadness over the recent dischord between some mighty high profile people. She will now bring you up to date on these events so that you can be as depressed as she is:
Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa
Wiz tweeted something about Kanye’s new album “Waves.”
Kanye tweeted something back.
Wiz wrote “KK” and then something else.
Kanye went berserk, thinking the “KK” referred to Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian.
Wiz corrected him, saying it referred to marijuana.
Kanye went even more berserk in many tweets that followed, accusing Wiz of every abomination known to mankind and some that hadn’t yet been invented.
Amber Rose, Kanye’s ex-girlfriend and Wiz’s ex-wife jumped into the fray, sent a tweet to Kanye, referring to a specific part of his anatomy and what she could personally do to fill that opening: “Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur a***ole anymore?”
Kanye tweeted Wiz, acknowledging that he now understood what “KK” referred to and then something about him (Kanye) having invented tight pants and children.
In a related development, Rapper Max B, just released a new song called “My Wave.” He defines his “wavy music” as “a futuristic way of describing something in a positive connotation.” The new track was recorded on a cell phone over a prison call with his producer. B is currently serving a 75 year sentence for armed robbery and murder. He hopes the West/Khalifa feud will help him increase sales.

Bristol Palin and Saturday Night Live
Bristol blogged a tirade against SNL for their parody of her mother, Sarah Palin, speaking in tongue as she endorsed Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for President. The SNL sketch starred Tina Fey, reprising her ever-popular role as Palin.
Bristol accused SNL of running out of new material and having to dredge up the tired, old Palin material. She also thought her mother was pretter than Tina Fey. She did, however, give props to the SNL wardrobe department for creating a pretty darn good copy of the spangly silver cardigan her mom wore for the actual announcement.
In a related development, QVC, the online retailer to the world, noting that the actual cardigan sold out in stores almost immediately, will now host a new 3-hour show (“Payin’ for Palin”) based solely on Palin’s cardigan. They will create it in seven colors and in sizes ranging from XS to 8XL. It will be the Deal of the Day and purchasers will have the option of making 5 easy payments in order to complete the purchase price of $29.99.

Donald Trump and Fox News/Megyn Kelly/the newspaper delivery person
LBL will not go into any of the details of the feuds. She has written enough about Trump lately.
In a related development, there were no related developments. The debate was held without Trump, and most people tuned in, instead, to a “You’re Fired!” retrospective.

Roman Reigns and Some Challenger
Reigns, the WWE World WrestleMania Champion, will defend his belt at the WWE WrestleMania 32 match. The feud is expected to be far more civil and boring than any of the three feuds previously noted in this post.

Use the same strategy we used with toddler tantrums. When one of my girls threw herself on the floor in a rage, I walked away. If I couldn’t do that, I turned around and sighed loudly, maybe mentioning how boring they were acting. I bet if we all ignore them and stop googling them, they will stop it!

While I love that strategy, unfortunately, these folks capture the attention of people. The Twitter battle between Kanye and Wiz generated many, many millions of hits.And we all see that Trump’s infantile behavior has captured the attention of the country.

I actually thought the real press conference with Sarah Palin was as funny as the spoof. The former half-governor has become a caricature of herself.

Agreed. After I saw the real thing, I couldn’t imagine how SNL would spoof her. It was a spoof of a spoof.

I think the world will be ending soon as my local news paper is starting to report twiter conversations as “important news stories.”

Your comment made me think that probably a lot of people now get their news from Twitter. I think we’ve lost the ability to distinguish what is real from what isn’t.

I see that a lot lately, critical thinking skills seem to be fading from our world.
