Good Morning America, How Are You?
Imagine my surprise when I wandered out this morning to get my Washington Post. There was no news. Really, I mean the pages were blank (except for the ads, of course). I don't know what to make of it. I guess nothing happened yesterday.
So I went to my trusty on-line news service, NetZone (no, I'm not being paid to promote them, although now that I think about it, I may send them a note and ask for a referral fee...what the hell, we're up to 3 or 4 or 5 columnists on the Bubble Bush payroll. I'm not a journalist. I'm a wannabe John Stewart--without the staff, sigh.)
Good old NetZone. You can always count on them to bring you all the news that simply confirms a simple fact: You are sooooo wierd! And by "you," I mean all of us.
Read on.
Good Morning, Mr. & Mrs. & Ms. & Miss America: (Hey, how come men have one title while women have at least 4? I gotta find me a lawyer and sue somebody.) News Flash: It seems PBS is in trouble again with their never-ending promotion of homosexuality among rabbits and other creatures. You won't read this in the Wall Street Journal, friends, but we're facing BunnyGate. Yes, PBS has some rabbit going to Vermont to talk to real-life kids of...gasp...lesbos! Now the bunny, something called Buster, of all names, was talking about farming, but the new Education Secretary, Margaret "I am not a faggot" Spelllings, has asked that PBS refund taxpayer dollars used on that episode.
PBS, in a radical act of defiance, decided not to air the show, but they'll make it available to their affiliates if they're stupid enough to endure the wrath of the Bush Bubble Machine. Nice work PBS.
Page Two: There's something very sad and more than a little bizarre about the well-known administration success in cloning Clarence Thomas to create black political commentators. The Washington Times, that defender of freedom, features Thomas Sowell attacking inauguration protestors. Get this:
- [R]iots have been rechristened "demonstrations" by the mealy-mouth media.
- What are these "demonstrations" demonstrating — other than adolescent self-indulgence and contempt for the rights of other people to go about their lives without finding their streets clogged with hooligans and the air filled with obscenities?
- This may be some people's idea of a healthy democracy, but it is more a sign of spreading sickness in a society too wimpish to insist that law and order matter and too mushy-minded to see self-indulgence at the expense of others is not idealism.
Damn, I'll be there are a lot of fine white people who wish Sowell was in charge back in the late 60s when these holligans and self-indulgent adolescents were interrupting peace-loving white supremicists just trying to go about their business at their lunch counters, dinking fountains, and voting booths.
I can't go on, my gag-control mechanism isn't working this morning. This guy is a meatball, with all due respect of course. What riots? What clogging? The Bush Bubble Machine had the protestors blocked off and confined to a small park in Silver Spring, MD, 20 miles from the coronation. And what about all those high flyers who couldn't get the "do" because of the impossible security? What about their rights? Don't rich people have any freedom in this country.
Tommy, if I may call you that. If you're going to pontificate about rights, at least read the Constitution and Bill of Rights. And if you're going to pose as a nationally sundicated columnist (surely not in the pay of the Bubble), at least get your facts straight. Riots! Balderdash & fiddlesticks.
