Sarah Palin 2012 - the world is going to end anyway

[Conan71]

Yes, he is a little ... manic, isn't he?

He's probably got a spooker tucked in his sock or desk drawer.

Or a vial or two.

[Hoss]

Or a vial or two.

The whole staged crying thing is what gets me.  I can't understand anyone doing that outside of an honest-to-goodness Hollywood production.

Cable news is diverting away from news and more into entertainment.  I'm trying to be a little more 'neutral' by listening to and reading NPR.  But even then the BSC crowd thinks NPR is liberal, since 'Public' is in their name.

"Is" diverting away? That bus left the station about 15 years ago.  "Has" is more like it.

15 years ago it wasn't this bad.  I had little reason to watch CNN (at the time pretty much the only cable outlet on) because my interest in politics really didn't take hold until my early thirties.

Fox News really set the bar for what I like to call 'propangandized media'.  They used to claim to be fair and balanced, and, remembering them in the beginning, they weren't too bad.  I remember it really starting to get incredibly annoying though after 9/11.  They figure they can cater to a niche audience that will watch them, especially if the right-wing blogosphere bloviates enough to attract viewers.

Hey, I don't fault them for seeking out viewers by this method.  Just quit calling yourself 'fair and balanced' when you're nothing but.

And in the beginning, I used to like listening to Olbermann, but he's become a bit preachy regarding healthcare for my tastes these days.

I like watching Jon Stewart, because for the most part, he gets it (at least to my generation, which really isn't too far removed from yours).

I've changed my sig line to reflect my yearly reintroduction to Queensryche's "Operation:Mindcrime" and wonder if these guys had clairvoyance in the late 80s.  Listen to the lyrics.  Could have fit back then, could fit now....

I catch the BBC World News on the radio sometimes on the way to work.  And Cox carries their television news at 9PM.  It's a slightly different perspective.

Fox's news actually is pretty balanced.  It's the political commentary shows which are not, just like MSNBC.  So long as people understand they are watching an entertainer/commentator and not a newscast when they watch Hannity, Olbermann, Matthews, or Beck.

[Gaspar]

All news is bias.  Every reporter injects bias into every report.  There is no fair.  No balanced.

. . . except for that National Weather Service robotic reporter.

[heironymouspasparagus]

You really need to get out more... listen/watch PBS and NPR.  There you really WILL get fair and balanced.

Trust me...I got a really good feelin' about this one...
Oh, wait, that's another universe.

Anyone know where I can get one of those giant sock monkeys on the car commercial?  Only not alive...

OK, I had a bit of a migraine already this afternoon...you've gone and made it worse.  It's time to mark you as 'ignore'.  Or as the internet old timers remember, "PLONK!".

Being of one that fit's well in the categories of which includes those who do not have the mental capacity to comprehend space without perimeters. A universe of planets racing into a void,   Moving away in all direction from a point of inertia at the presumed speed of light,  Which could be the work of a master creator or a solution to the theories of Darwin, using time as the undetermined factor in a unproven equation.  Then also inject mass that had to prevail from unknown sources, before they could start the formation of the skies we see in the dark night.

It is well established that this generic machine that host us is very limited to being able to escape this globe we are confined in,  We have not beached the outer limitations of trillions of like worlds as we know them.

As we seek the solutions to the builders of the great pyramids of our modern times of some eight thousands years ago we can say they didn't happen but they are only a mirage left etched in the electrons of time. (Edison)

It may be time to type "PLONK" close and closet door after one.

Yes, there are no facts in this world. Everything is opinion.

As noted there is some difficulty with your copier.  There could be an overlay on the screen notifying you it is time to recycle your cartage.  It has come from the major players in recycling that unless new technology is developed then the cost of recycling plastics could cost more than the original cost to produce them.  And the city of Tulsa is considering it be mandatory that the citizens recycle.  Course that is the rule of the city to increase the cost on its citizens.   Recycle to the land fill? 

Being we are no more than point of light in the many millennium of time such has not has not defined the difference between "if" and 'when" in the present.  There are many who are not standing on the street corners with long hair, in a white robe, wearing sandals crying the end is near. Nor were they on the streets of Pompeii but only instead promoting their orgies.

Some where in our fragile existence on a planet that has a molting core, that support floating contents, surrounded by the majority of surface waters, held in orbit by unknown unexplainable forces of a master nuclear reactor then we must injected the word "when".  There has recently been noted of the increased activity.  It is hard to believe the presumption of an election would bring this creation of a master creator to a end.

I am happy to promote the orgies.  Hook a brother up.
