Referees and Reporters
Some days I just don’t know whether to laugh or to cry, I woke up this morning and poured my coffee just like any other morning. Then fired up the ol’ computer to see if I had a life.
The first article my eyes lock onto talks of a referee tackling a player in a college football game. Now the mind is still groggy and the caffeine hadn’t kicked in yet, but it peaked my interest.
Seems the ref didn’t like the way the game was going and decided to take out the quarterback. There is even video posted on the “tube” of the errant ref, LSU vs South Carolina vs the referee. Things were looking up!
The New York Times had a hiring brain fart. (see yesterday’s rant.) Seems their Human Resources department let one slip through.
This astute individual decided to go after Cindy McCain by the indirect route of her adopted daughter; seems trolling high schools in the area via the Internet on Facebook netted her the “big” scoop.
Not that I’m wide awake, but shouldn’t that be a criminal offense? Trolling Facebook to get some dirt on Cindy McCain by way of high school is reminiscent of pediphilia, are we reaching or what?
Seems the Democratic party is giving 120% to voter registration, literally. Attacking Sarah Palin and Cindy McCain of some very serious issues, dresses and children oh my!
But the news media doesn’t want to focus on Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s alleged flag burning or ties to a known terrorist that would be a horrible misuse of journalistic integrity.
My wife has just informed me a television station in Orlando Florida was asking Joe Biden questions in an interview; seems some questions shall not be considered for comment by the Democratic party, they took that station off the list to interview democratic candidates.
Seems asking if Mr. Obama is running a socialist campaign in a democratic society is a no no. Tisk tisk, we don’t want any questions that might be a subject the masses might want to know about. Lets stick to dresses and children.
The coffee has kicked in now, time to watch some “real” news, I hear the cartoon network is 24 hours…
