I'm sure I missed a few holidays in there.
Anyways, the more I watch CNN/Fox News, the more I realize Jon Stewart's Daily Show may be the best news coverage in the media. Sure, it's filled with wisecracks, but it has less bias than the shoddy networks. I know some Republicans feel the Daily Show is biased against Republicans, but the reality is they'd be making fun of Democrats if the Democrats actually ever did something.
Besides, calling a moron a moron isn't "bias" as Republicans like to think; it's just calling it like it is.
Great piece on the Daily Show a few days ago about Bill O'Reilly where they showed a segment of his show where he argued that saying "Merry Christmas" wasn't offensive to people of other faiths. Actually, I agreed with him and the world turned upside-down.
Luckily, they showed a segment later on in the show of his guest countering by saying if "Merry Christmas" wasn't offensive to other religions, why is "Happy Holidays" offensive to Christians? And O'Reilly shouted out that it was offensive, it was different. And the world turned back to normal.
I'm done most of my Christmas shopping. As always, I leave it til late. I got Leia's gifts all in one day at the mall.
Since I'm a horrible gift wrapper, I used it to my advantage this year by turning out a jumbled mess of wrapping that combined all her gifts into one deformed big package, which includes fragile parts. She can't shake it around to guess what it is, and quite frankly it looks like a dead duck wrapped up in holiday giftwrap. Just needs a ribbon.
Moments from the mall:
- I wandered into the Hello Kitty shop and there was only one other guy in there. We both had the same bewildered look on our faces as we stared at all the crap.
- I want to stab people in the face dislike when people suddenly forget something, turn around and bolt in the opposite direction without thinking they might run into someone.
- Retail people always deal with the worst abuse around Christmastime. Funny how that works. And why is it that when a customer is an asshole, it's okay?
- And please explain why a black woman can be a total bitch to a retail person and when the retail person has enough, he's a "racist" just because he's white? No, he's just a guy who doesn't want to put up with a bitchy customer...black, white, or yellow.
- Why can I go to 20 different women's clothes shops (for my girlfriend, you perverts) and not find a single pair of waterproof gloves? Why???
