the food network is getting too competitive
So, we, the viewers are supposed to vote on who should get his/her own show, but frankly, I don't think the American Idol format applies as well to the food network. The poor dears look so nervous as they are presenting. And what if you just don't like the food they're cooking today, but you'll like tomorrow's better? Just stick to doing your own hiring, Food Network.
Needless to say, the conclusion after this Friday is no more binge drinking. Seriously, that shit was like freshmen year all over again. Ugh.
I can't decide between watching Meet the Press or The Facts of Life, so I am switching back and forth between them. (Whoa, btw, Facts of Life just totally pulled a Nader reference! From back in the days when he was a consumer advocate! (Why couldn't he have just stuck to that, because he was way better at it.)) Uh oh, Jo is trying to convince the other girls to shoplift. Rumsfeld's trying to convince the American people that he's a moral and well-reasoned man. Here is what he says about Saddam Hussein: "not a nice man." Way to go get 'em, Rumsfeld. Here is what he says about the Taliban: "WEeell, now some members of the Taliban are being welcomed back into the government...not the ones with blood on their hands! Certainly no one with blood on their hands, just some with some good experience governing." Tim Russert: "Is that negotiating with terrorists." Rumsfeld: "Eeehhhrrrrrmmm...no. We're not dealing with anyone with blood on their hands." Ok, back to The Facts of Life. Whoa, now Jo and the gals have to deal with their guilty consciences. They're about to confess to Mrs. Garrett. Too bad Rumsfeld apparently doesn't have a guilty conscience. Although! I saw him at some press conference and someone asked him what he said to those who insist he should resign, and he said "I already tried to submit my resignation many times, but the president wouldn't accept it." Then he chuckled all heartily/evilly. I hate the chuckle of Bush and co. Anyway, doesn't that sort of sound like he was acknowledging the fact that he ought to resign?
The Fairfax County Public Library system rejected my request that they but at least ONE book by Muriel Rukeyser. Seriously, I'm going to go in and try to talk to someone in person so I can explain why I don't think they should overlook her and offer to pay for a book out of my own pocket to donate. Because, seriously. This library system is so huge, and I know that no one really reads poetry, and in particular Muriel maybe doesn't have the largest following in the world, (although she is totally making a comeback with the two new collections of her work that were just released) and I know even if the book was there probably no one would check it out, but for some irrational reason I just want it to be there so much.
Oh, here is another little Rumsfeld quote. Russert just asked him if he was worried that the proceedings in Guantanamo Bay would undermine the perception of the United States as a country under rule of law. Rumsfeld's response: "[the people detained in Guantanamo Bay] are not good people. They're bad people." Ok, I know this kind of rhetoric is not really new to anyone, but it still makes a little chill run down my spine every time. Jesus Rumsfeld!!!!! Russert wasn't asking you if they were good or bad people (which frankly you have no right to decide) he was asking you about fucking rule of law (which apparently means nothing to you) SHIT! (Ok, and I know there is the idea that rule of law is an illusion used by those in power to justify their power, but JESUS AT LEAST THAT IS FUCKING TRYING TO JUSTIFY YOUR POWER.)
Whew. Let's chill out a little. No more Meet the Press for me. But speaking of politics, doesn't Rachel Maddow look so cute in this picture of her with some way dykey lady fans? So I had this brief plan to aggresively pursue getting an internship with Air America Radio just so I could bring Rachel Maddow coffee and stuff, and maybe flash her my thong. (Whoa, that sounds weird because it is maybe too late for Monica Lewinsky references?) But anyway, what if they end up sticking me on the Jerry Springer Show or something? I have to figure out whether my belief in Air America Radio is strong enough to sustain working for them no matter what. (No matter what meaning even if I don't get to work for The Rachel Maddow Show.)
Oh, the movie version of Richard III with Ian McKellan and Anette Benning and Maggie Smith that's set in the 30's is totally awesome, as it turns out! It was on PBS last night.
Whoa, this post is nothing more than a tv update. I guess that's fitting because probably my life is nothing more than a tv update.
pps: Bono says that Colin Powell says that if you want to win the war on terror, you have to win the war on poverty.
ppps: Bono wears sunglasses even inside dimly-lit rooms!
pppps: Whoa, there is an issue ad on tv now, and the "issue" is this: "DEMOCRATS WILL ATTACK ANYONE." Ha! They have all these quotes from like the Wall Street Journal and stuff, where they have taken out all of quote except for one word. It is like.
Wall Street Journal: "...bad..."
New York Times: "...dishonest..."
Washington Post: "...attack..."
And we are to assume that they are talking about Democrats, of course. That is awesome. God, I wish Democrats would actually attack anyone. Like, if the next time Tom Delay walked onto the House floor all of the Democrats would just run down the aisle and tear at him with their teeth. But they won't because we know the truth, which is that they are ACTUALLY all limp-wristed and weak-willed girlymen.
