So sleep deprivation, ladies underwear and waterboarding put the U.S. on the same level as terrorists?
Yeah, right... head on over to The Smoking Gun to see what an Al Qaeda torture manual contains. (Warning: graphic images.)
A great place for appliances is hhgregg, where you can find all the major brands.
First we have Imus fired for a stupid, throwaway comment. Of course he shouldn't have said it, but FIRED? From both radio and TV when his JOB has always been to shock his listeners?
Now we have Terry Moran of ABC News saying the we shouldn't feel to sorry for the Duke accusers because they are white and rich, so they'll bounce back just fine. How vile and disgusting a statement is that? What if they HADN'T been wealthy???
Here's a non-sequiter link to Kent.edu for no apparent reason.
They'd be sitting in jail right now, that's what. What a freaking stupid, vile thing to say.
And then we have Nancy Grace another vile spewer of tabloid TV journalism...
Amidst her accusations of American Idol being racist, Rosie O'Donnel said that they're also "weightist."
Freaking hilarious.
She was talking about Frenchie Davis being kicked off the show in a previous season because topless photos of her emerged while Antonella Barba is still competing despite the racy photos of her that have been all over the internet. According to Rosie, not only was Frenchie kicked off the show because she's black, but ALSO because she was overweight.
Have you been to the Asian CNET appliances page?
Um, Rosie.... can you say Fantasia Barrino? Winner of the contest three seasons ago? Fantasia wasn't extremely TAN, she's black. How about Lakisha Jones, the overweight contestant this year with an AMAZING voice who will no doubt finish in the top two or three? Then there's Chris Sligh, overweight as well but one of the top three singers on the guy's side.
I don't know why I'm even wasting time on this, I'm just feeding into the Rosie-publicity-monster. She's incapable of staying out of the limelight for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I'm sure our fine psychiatric community will come up with "disease" to explain it, perhaps related to ADD or ADHD.

I was driving my daughter home from school today when I saw a Ford Expedition drving down the street with a dad behind the wheel and two little girls in the car.
As I pull up in traffic I see one little girl in the back seat (with the window open) just bouncing all over the place with no seat belt on. So I while the cars are moving slowly I catch her eye, grab my seat belt and say: "You should put your seat belt on."
Eventually I have to get on the other side of the Expedition to make a turn, and as I pass it I see the driver's window down and the dad yelling at me and making gestures, and they weren't gestures of thanks.
He's riding around with a seven year old in the back set with an open window and no seat belt and he's yelling at ME.
Freaking idiot.
Ok. Pet peeve mode here... What is it with people who are supposed to be friends, yet don't reply to calls or emails?
It takes me a HUGE amount of self-control to not send off a final email or phone call saying "You know what? I'm done. See ya around." I just tend to wonder what the deal is... did I do something to annoy somebody (can't wait for the comments on THAT one), or is it some wierd personality issue on the side of the person I've contacted?

A few months ago, on a movie news and opinion website of mine I wrote an article about what had previously been a great kid's cartoon shifting gears during it's third season into being much more "sexy". The cartoon in question was the animated series Justice League, which was re-christened Justice League Unlimited at the same time the change took place. Little did I know what sort of visitors that article would attract.
Why do I say that? Because since I titled it Justice League: Soft Core Porn For Kids? (due to my feelings on the subject, read the article for details) the page has received tons of traffic. Not from concerned parents, but from sick bastards searching for kiddie porn.
Yesterday I commented on the fact that there are no overweight people in McDonalds commercials. I talked about how people basically have brought obesity upon themselves and at least one person chimed in (as I expected) with the "genetic" argument, which I think may be true in a VERY small minority of people, but no where near the numbers of people who are actually overweight.
In my opinion, a major strike against the "genetic fat" argument is that obesity levels were FAR lower up until 40 years ago than they are today. Add to that the fact that the percentage of people who are overweight in the United States is far greater than the number in other countries.
So what people who cling to the "it's not my fault" argument are saying is that there has been some wierd genetic mutation that has taken place ONLY within the last 40 years and ONLY within the United States.
Wow... I'll bet it was the same people in the U.S. government who brought down the WTC that are behind this insidious conspiracy!!!
