New York Times, January 14, 2015<\/em>:\u00a0 “Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson, both now bearded, reached the summit of El Capitan\u2019s Dawn Wall on Wednesday, completing a quest that included years of planning and that many considered the most challenging rock climb in the world.”\u00a0 Could I care less?\u00a0 Please, someone give these poor people a shave.<\/p>\n

The Reporter, January 12, 2015<\/em>: “The former head of sailing’s governing body has filed complaints of gross misconduct against the five members of an international jury that handed down the harshest penalties in America’s Cup history.\u00a0 The action comes weeks after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced sailor Dirk de Ridder’s suspension from sanctioned events from three years to 18 months. De Ridder was banned from the 34th America’s Cup in September 2013 and Oracle Team USA was docked two points in a scandal involving manipulation of the weight distribution of boats that Oracle sailed in warmup regattas.”\u00a0 Could I care less?\u00a0 If I knew what the point was, I’d dock them two.<\/p>\n

The Japan News, January 9, 2015<\/em>: “A metal screw was found in a bento meal box made by restaurant operator Watami Co.’s food delivery service arm, it was learned Thursday.\u00a0 The meal box was produced at Watami Takushoku Co.’s plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture on Oct. 29 last year and delivered to a customer the following day.”\u00a0 Could I care less?\u00a0 Only if the customer ate the screw, thinking it was a delicacy from a harpooned whale.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph, January 10, 2015<\/em>:\u00a0 ” ‘If I\u2019d known David Attenborough 40 years ago,’ Cameron Diaz rather startlingly confessed to me last year, ‘he might have been the one man to tame me.’\u00a0 As it turned out, it was Benji Madden \u2013 a diminutive, tattooed, shaven-headed rocker with more paunch than one of Attenborough\u2019s quirkiest marsupials \u2013 who was finally able to make that claim.\u00a0 After an eight-month long romance, the unlikely pair wed last Monday under a Chinese lantern-lit marquee in Diaz\u2019s Beverly Hills back garden.”\u00a0 Could I care less?\u00a0 Only if I were lucky enough to be David Attenborough.<\/p>\n

The Citizen-Times, Asheville, January 8, 2015<\/em>:\u00a0 “With the opening of Chipotle on Hendersonville Road, there’s an awful lot of chatter about whether eating there is worth the wait.\u00a0 We decided to weigh \u2014 literally \u2014 Chipotle’s burritos along with seven other similar offerings.\u00a0 <\/span>Each burrito restaurant we checked out had to meet the following criteria: they had to offer carryout burritos, the kind of thing you get in a paper sack with a fistful of chips.\u00a0 Each restaurant had to offer a basic chicken burrito, the second-most ordered item on Chipotle’s menu, after the Chicken Burrito Bowl.\u00a0 And they all had to be open on Jan. 2.\u00a0 Sadly, that disqualified Grey Eagle Taqueria; the floor was being waxed and restaurant was closed on burrito judgment day.”\u00a0 Could I care less?\u00a0 I’m not sure I could care less than this reviewer, who seems to think the quality of the food doesn’t matter if the restaurant is closed when she shows up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
