WTF?!
I'm learning to parallel park a BUS. good GODS, I can't even parallel park my own little car let alone a bus. I really hope I don't have to do that often.
ANYWAYZ the real reason I'm posting is because I ran into a news clip that makes me both proud and ashamed:
http://www.saynotocrack.com/index.php/2007/06/28/newswoman-refuses-to-report/
basically, a news woman refused to report the top story being Paris Hilton rather than news in Iraq. I agree with the anchor woman, that they should not have even looked at the Hilton story and gone strait to the news. but all the other anchors around her keep insisting on it. and then her producer kept forcing the story on her. she even took the story and shred it TWICE on live tv. this woman deserves a lot of credit. and I feel slightly ashamed of this country that people pay more attention to a rich slut than what's actually going on around them! WTF PEOPLE?! it just disgusts me. no wonder we're losing our rights as Americans, we just don't care anymore. we trade it all for the ILLUSION of security, the ILLUSION that our troops being sent to Iraq are gonna be just fine, the ILLUSION that the world around us just doesn't exist and that we can go on just watching our celebrity sluts. and if someone were to get up and smash our little world delusion we call them a hippie or a terrorist. as a people, we're just a mindless mob.
maybe it's because it's almost independence day and I'm actually giving thought to what it is this year. most of my family is in the military. I live in a military town, I'm a military brat. but I've never given it this much thought before, maybe it's time I did. I dunno. it just sets me off when someone tries to do something right, and is ridiculed on live national TV. god knows, I'm not the most patriotic, but there are just things that bug me. this is one of them. otherwise, what are people like my dad and my brother going off to Iraq for?
but not to leave this post so serious let's see some Pinky and the Brain:
