There’s been way too much talking recently. And it just gets people in trouble and drains seconds out of our lives. We’d be better off if these people would shut the hell up:

Rep. Joe Wilson. No need to be shouting things at the president on the House floor. Thank you for apologizing. But you’re not a hero. So shut the hell up.

People who don’t like Rep. Joe Wilson. It happened, it’s over. Stop bringing it up so you can avoid talking about your terrible health care plan. Just shut the hell up.

Serena Williams. Bad call. Tough luck. Don’t tell the judge you want to shove a ball down her f-ing throat. Bad form. Just shut the hell up.

Roger Federer. You play tennis for a living and you’re worth a gazillion dollars. Too bad the other guy got a break. Shut the hell up about it.

Kanye West. You can’t go six months without embarrassing yourself in public. You just need to permanently shut the hell up.

Barack Obama calling Kanye West a jackass. You may be right, but you’re also president. Just because you’re on the cover of People doesn’t mean you should care about the same things Perez Hilton cares about. Shut the hell up about Hollywood.

Jay Leno asking Kanye what his late mother would think of his outburst. Who are you, Miss Manners? A grief counselor? That was the most awkward 10 seconds of television I’ve seen all year. Shut the hell up (except for those Headlines; I’m a sucker for the Headlines).

I’m done.
