[Baffling] Emmy Nominations Announced

The Emmy voters obviously must have been on something to come up with this year's interesting -- to say the least --nominations...

Just where are the nominations for today's TV's most talented
actors and actresses like; Kristen Bell, Jason Bateman, Lauren Graham and the entire cast of Scrubs?
And the nominations for today's groundbreaking quality shows
Veronica Mars, Weeds, Huff, Big Love and Lost?

Instead of focusing on the current, the Emmy voters seem to have set their sights in the past. I mean, have they even watched television in the past few years at all?
That would certainly explain these baffling nominee choices, like Martin Sheen, Alan Alda and Stockard Channing, to name a few -- not to say these actors aren't extremely talented, they were just the wrong choice.

But nothing -- nothing I say -- is going to explain the noms for the likes of Kevin James, Charlie Sheen and all of the Two And A Half Men noms in general.

All I can say is thank god for the Golden Globes!

Prepare yourself for some cuteness overload, as I came across these brilliant websites about kitties. Visit www.catsinsinks.com for photos of, wait for it, cats in sinks. You can't but love cats in all their strangeness and fascination about all things sink.

Check out also this hilarious site about 'Kitlers', aka cats that look like Hitler, for some funny kitty stach photos.
