Back to the Future!

Well here's a bit of amusing nonsense. I arrived at this particular truckstop on thursday at about 1600, and got up at about Friday. That's not my point though, my point is, when I got up and headed inside for breakfast. They had FNC on the tube; what do you suppose the wunderkinder were on about?

Joe Biden's very minor flub about travelling in closed-air public transport vehicles when your sick. It would seem that, at least according to these chuckleheads, that old Joe "could have" tanked the entire airline industry. Oh, and everything else.

Words fail. As I watch what the AM FNC lackeys are babbling about, I can't help but wonder exactly what they think they're accomplishing. In fact, if you look at the advertisements they run, you'd get the impression that civilization is in a state of imminent collapse.

The only question that I can think to ask is,"Exactly how did you come to these conclusions?" I know its unfair of me, but I have reached a point where I want to see people show their work, to borrow the favorite phrase of math teachers every where. In fact, I'd like to have them actually have a modrated discussion with the other team. I know that the President has poopooed the idea of reenacting the Fairness Doctrine...but frankly, when these people go off into weirdo-land, they really are the best possible advertising for it.

  1. Ah.. Fox News. -giggles- Suddenly I hear a baby crying in my head.

    I don't see how you're being unfair. I used to think my math teachers were out to annoy me, but now I know why they wanted to see my work.

    They are just throwing tantrums. I think all they need is discipline.. give them a spanking and put them in a corner since they insist on acting like small children. [/flame]

    What!? You didn't know?! I'm shocked! Shocked!

    Have you seen the latest ads from "Conservatives for Patients Rights"? Fronted by one Richard Scott? Do look him up...you'll find him listed next to 'Medicare fraud'. These unique individuals are distressed at the idea that evidence of effectiveness should have any place in medical treatment. Oopsie...I always thought that was the point!
