agilebritAnd the funny just keeps on a-comin'...
All kinds of conflicting reports about Yassir Arafat's condition. The reason for this is that he's got $3 billion (yes, that's "billion" with a "b") of PLO money in a Swiss bank account--that no one else has access to, including his loving wife. So, they're hoping he'll wake up long enough to give them the codes or something. Heh. And Michael Medved just compared his situation to "Weekend at Bernie's." Bwah!
Ah-nold is priceless. Really, he's quite liberal socially, so I wouldn't like him as a national candidate, but he's perfect for California. A reporter asked him if he would listen to Democrat ideas about increasing state taxes to reduce the deficit. His response? "Why would I listen to losers?" Bwah! Arnold, sweetie, politicians aren't supposed to be that blunt. And since you've since backtracked quite a bit on that statement, I guess you're learning that the "girly men" in the Democratic party can bite. Or at least howl loudly.
Then there's this from Slate.com: The election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry. I see, I voted for President Bush again not because I like the man personally, not because I believe in the same things he does, not because I support the Iraq war, not because I think that John Kerry would have been a disaster...but because I'm stupid. Well, screw you very much, Jane Smiley. Gads, and they call conservatives "mean"? Pot, meet kettle.
*siiiiiggghhhhh* Okay, most of the Christians I know aren't this batshit insane. I wish we knew the full story behind this, if the guy really is schizophrenic or something. Trying to convert lions to Christianity? Dude, they're animals. They don't, as far as we know, have a religion, and if they do, you need to learn the language before you go on a missionary trip. I saw the video of this on the evening news; it's not a joke. Bizarre. Just...wow.
Michael Moore is urging Democrats despondent over the election results to not commit suicide. Yeah, okay, I take politics more seriously than, probably, any sane person should, but I didn't want to kill myself when Bill Clinton got elected. I didn't even want to kill myself when he got re-elected. I was sitting there screaming at the television "What is wrong with you people?!"--just like, no doubt, Democrats were doing this time around.
Maureen Dowd seems to think that Fox News is some sort of monolith. She says we have "One network [serving] as state TV." Gee, I guess CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC don't count. Larry King, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw will be very surprised, no doubt, to hear that their services are no longer required. Am I the only one who thinks that all the hysteria over Fox News is screamingly funny, considering all the other, quite liberal media outlets we have? I am? Okay.
Yeah, I'm surfing news sites instead of writing or doing the stuff on my to-do list. I'm feeling unmotivated today. We're going to Wally World later to get "Shrek 2" on DVD, because it's brilliant, and WalMart puts them on sale for $15-something the first few days they're out, and I'm a cheap-ass and like saving those few extra bucks. Three dollars buys me three or four 2-liter bottles of caffeinated beverage, this time of year.
