Where to start?
China is pissed because we sent up a surface to air missile to blow up a boondoggle space heap full of poisonous gas. They say it’s threatening result could lead to tension. They forget to mention they did the same thing already and even sent their missile to hit something in a higher orbit only to leave hundreds of pieces of junk floating in orbit. This field of debris prevents other spacecraft (including spy satellites) from orbiting in that region. Hmmmm. Sounds like great cover.
McCain screwing around? Well the Times of New York says so right after endorsing him last month. I guess it’s better press to build up a candidate real good so the tearing down is all that much better than the build up, like a baby who just knocked down a stack of blocks. It’s OK though, Bill did it and the times was beside themselves then to defend his cigar poking actions in the Lincoln Room.
Ding Dong The Witch is, well, dying a slow humiliating death. Oh Goodie! Hillary has nothing left on Obama except to accuse him of plagiarism and making cracks about his speeches. She also has to make a point to jab at the fact that he didn’t want to participate in those debates that really didn’t matter. They aren’t going to say anything different than the last million debates we’ve already seen and those just turned into something resembling two kids fighting on a playground. The Angry Lesbians have yet jumped the SS Hillary but who the hell cares what they think?
American Idol is terrible even though it has been billed as the best 24 contestants ever. If that’s the best, this show is demonstrating to the world that our talent pool must really be sucky. Paula Abdul is really incoherent and I’m thinking this lady is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s or a tumor or something is pushing on the part of her brain that gives her the ability to form words and sentences.
Lost is AWESOME and also a nod of Approval to Ely Stone. Time Travel is starting to emerge as the gist of Lost. I’ve been a big fan of the Time Travel theme in TV since the 1960’s Star Trek episodes highlighted it several times. “The City on the Edge of Forever” was one of the best TV episodes of any kind- ever. I was also a big fan of Journeyman which I hope didn’t die a quick death because of the strike.
GM’s trying to buy out their entire Unionized workforce. Once again, Unions bring another American giant to their knees. No not because workers rights have been violated. Instead, the unions and their workers are greedy and the reason NAFTA (a really bad idea) had to to be created to begin with. We can’t afford them. Hate them as you may, Wal Mart employs a largely non-union workforce and this company thrives even in the shittiest of economy’s. Bitch if you will that they are China’s 3rd largest trading partner being a much larger partner than most of the countries of the world. But Wal Mart buys cheap goods produced in slave labor factories in China where there are no unions. We can actually afford a few things in Wal Mart. If the Unions want to help America (which I don’t think they do), they ought to set up shop in Beijing to organize all those poor sweatshop workers and demand better conditions. Then, after 80-100 years of jacking up wages for unrealistic reasons, the cost to produce good in China will skyrocket and we can start buying goods from all our non unionized manufacturing plants here in the US.
Castro Resigns and Raul takes over. The embargo on this country has NEVER made sense and if Raul is indeed “Fidel Light”, it will make even less sense. The embargo’s ONLY purpose has been a political measure by presidential candidates to placate all the Cubans who now claim Miami as their own just so they can get their votes. If you think all those people are going to swarm back to Cuba once the Castro’s are gone and “Democracy” seeds are planted, “Your Retarded”.
