Lots of fluff today on Today — the circus is there, a bit on guys and chick-flicks, a bit on make-up and beauty beyond 40.

It would seem there’s nothing going on in the world.

But wait. Cut to two minutes of news briefs. Earthquake in Indonesia. Bunch of soldiers died in Iraq. Guy flys his plane into ex-mother-in-law’s house.

Okay, now back to the circus, yay!
