Fox News

I watched Hannity's special report this past weekend, and I still don't understand their "fair and balanced" bi-line. He had three guests on there all with the same agenda. How informational is that?

It was stupid as you could think, and then the O'Reilley Factor after was funnier. It's just funny how they keep pushing the "fair and balanced" thing and keep justifying it during the show but not having any opposing views to get an intelligent discussion goin.

It just baffles me that everytime I tune in it's like that and people love this shit and eat it up. I've said before that I don't care what these pundits' opinions are but it bothers me to no end that people eat that shit up as facts. It's easy to look smart when you get to spin things your way and no one disagrees with you.

That's what I like about "Real Time With Bill Maher," because he has very different people on the show and you can get so much more out of it and actually have an intelligent view of something...at least a more informed one if you are not scared of facts against what you believe or want to believe.

This Modern World

So I managed to do two things I swore I'd never do. We'll one I haven't fully done yet.

Anyway, I swore I would never get a facebook or myspace account because I think they're dumb and pointless unless you're using them to promote yourself like if you're in a band or something.

We'll, Jeanne's been gone this weekend and I was busy doing the second thing I swore I'd never do so I was watching a lot of movies and TV and bored out of my fucking mind so I jumped on Facebook and signed in to look around and it somehow had a list of people I should check out...amongst them was my mom. Everyone's on this shit. I did like the messaging that could be fun, but I'm not normally on my computer that long. It sort of just creeped me out that I just wanted to go on to browse and stuff and all of a sudden I get requests.

The other thing I swore I'd never do but caved in finally (with a laundry list of reasons why) was get an iPod. There's a plethora of reasons I never wanted to get one, but the reasons to finally get one far outweighed those and so I got one.

So I've been on this computer non-stop all weekend, uploading songs and I'm still not done and now I have to find a way to convert the vinyl into mp3 files or something.
