The Keith Olbermann flap

I have seen a number of people say that we should protest for Keith and against the unfair treatment he has gotten at the hands of MSNBC. I respectfully disagree with this position, and here's why.

As a 'Journalist,' and I use this term loosely for Olbermann because he's really more of an op-ed guy, Olbermann has a duty to his department and to his viewers to remain as objective as he can be. Journalistic objectivity has become a bit of a paleolithic concept these days I know, but it still matters. In fact, it matters even more now that there is so little of it left to be found.

The only way we can combat the FOXs of this world is by being what they aren't, which is reliably objective. I was watching the Daily Show Wednesday night when Jon was interviewing Chris Wallace and he (Stewart) made an important point. He said that the mistake that MSNBC is making combating FOX is in trying to be the same thing FOX is but from the left side of the political spectrum. The problem with this is that it plays directly into FOX's claims that the MSM is left-leaning. The more effective way to combat this would be to provide real, non-partisan journalism.

The people are not served by having one network try to be just as left as the other is right. This is essentially saying that two wrongs will equal a right, and that never works. If Olbermann is allowed to be openly partisan how can we trust him? I already don't trust FOX to communicate the truth. It was damaging to their meager reputation when they gave money to the Republicans. It is damaging to MSNBC's reputation if they give money to the Democrats.

I guess what I am saying is:

Give me someone I can trust! Someone above the fray who is willing to just tell me what happened. Better yet, give me several and let me decide based on something that really doesn't matter, like is she pretty, or does he remind me of my dad.. Back in the day we never had to struggle with the question of authenticity, the networks fought their ratings battles using tools that didn't change the tenor of the news, just the packaging.

That, in my opinion, would be a return to sanity.

Michelle Bachmann is an evil bitch and needs to ... have something bad happen to her.

I don't really want her to die or get cancer.. But just barely. She is a hateful lying person who will say whatever she thinks she can get away with to damage the Conservative's Great White Whale a/k/a Barack Obama.

She is worse than Sarah Palin by a long shot. She single-handedly lowers my every expectation of politicians and women in politics.

A small sample of her lying-ass ways:

Hannah Storms sexy outfits

Newsflash!! ESPN is a channel whose primary demographic is beer drinking dudes between the ages of 18 & 50 something. Are you really going to bitch because Hannah Storm's dress is a little on the short side? Really? Wake up and smell the Budweiser!

Oh, and for the record... sports is not news. Weather, when its atypical, is news. Sinkholes are news. Board of Education meetings, while tedious to the point of suicide can be news, but sports is something we do for fun and only affects a few people. Stop pretending that it requires gravitas.

Don't Ask Don't Tell Defenders

For those of you who still don't get it, here's why this is wrong:

Instead of striking down the policy of discrimination by a governmental agency, DADT simply sidesteps it by saying that, even though we don't want Homosexuals in the military, we'll pretend that you aren't gay if you don't tell us you are.

The defenders seem to think it's enough to let gay people serve if they want to. They are missing the point. Me telling you that I find you disgusting and objectionable but you can come to my party anyway is not a real welcoming gesture is it?

The enemy

"Because the Enemy does all he can to keep us blinded and discouraged so that we follow any path but the one God has laid out for us."

Really? is it like that actually?

Why is is that psople feel the need to elevate Satan to the same level as God? It is hubris ultimately. Satan, being other than God is more like me, as I am other too.

There is this conception amid otherwise intelligent people that God somehow NEEDS Satan to exist. This implies that God, the all-knowing, is powerless where Satan is concerned. What a steaming pile that is

"I ate my baby's placenta!" WTF?!!?

This kind of fuckery has got to go away!

"The practice of placentophagia, eating the placenta, is practiced in many parts of the world..."

So is female circumcision.

Please God Make Them Stop!!!

There's just no good reason for this. Who's paying for this ridiculous shizzle? You know they aren't doing it on their own. They are probably straining the generosity of the families and parishoners. It's selfish and stupid. I think we need to get a vasecotomy AND tubes tied ASAFP!!!

Hey, I've got an idea... instead of the Duggars they could go all anal and change their name to the Buggers. Then they can give birth several times a day without straining the budget of their entire community. Let's pitch in and send a family size tub of lube for Christmas to get the ball rolling!!

I knew I smelled a Rat... or maybe a septic tank

Joe the Plumber: McCain "Appalled Me," Made Me Feel "Dirty"

What a gigantic load of shit! Can you believe this moron? This whole story stunk to the heavens from day one. I am just glad the truth is out there. And as for his comment about Sarah Palin being "the real deal"... you know he's just holding out for four years to see if he can hit that.

This guy is high on the list for Douchenozzle of the year. Actually, I think I am going to create a special honor and name him ...

DoucheNozzle Enemameritus

Please Explain This To Me

I like my morning coffee with a little sugar.  It's a simple thing really.  Coffee and about a teaspoon and a half of sugar.  Yet every time I stop at the local McDowell's for a McMuffin and I ask for coffee with sugar, I get either coffee with cream, or more often than not, coffee with sugar AND cream?

It it so difficult for the "knowledge workers" in the establishment to get the order right?  They get the food right most of the time, so why not the coffee?

That's all...  Douchenozzles!

Oh yeah...

Where Do They Find These People?

What the fuck dude!?!

I have gay friends.  Respectable, normal people who like the peen.  I have no problem with that.  They can even get married as far as I'm concerned, but bitches like this one have GOT TO GO.

Were I gay man and I ran into this little queen, I would rip him a new one... which he could probably use.  His brand of queeny, uncle Tom-foolery is why some people hate the queer nation.
