Yesterday was my anniversary...16 years! and tomorrow is my birthday...none of your business.
So we're celebrating and I got an IPOD!
I slept till 10 am today, something I have not done for 3 years. It was great!
Thus I am on the run as I am treating husband to dinner for anniversary. My brand new IPOD has my name and my blog site imprinted on the back. It holds 7500 songs. That might be enough.
But I must rant.
I am watching Russ Feingold on MTP and first thing I begin to curse. Only nice curse words though.
WHY, please tell me WHY, are these IDIOTS constantly on MPT? Last week we had crazy Murtha and his "Okinawa" plan. Now Russ Feingold.
I would suggest that MTP is one of the few political talk shows many average Americans watch, as opposed to political junkees like us.
And THESE people are who they see...Murtha and Feingold. Who are, I hasten to add, hardly indicative of a) what average Americans think of the war and b)even what the average congress critter thinks of the war...witness last week's votes. Not to mention the constant refrain that "this administration did a terrible job of running this war".
This administration folks, no matter what criticisms you may levy against various policies, has done a WONDERFUL job on this war. They sucessfully invaded with little loss of life, let's get real. They're dealing with the insurgency, the Iraqis have voted three times, they've organized a new government, Zarqawi is dead. And we have NOT been attacked here in the U.S. since 9-11. Not to mention the finding of those secret terrorist cells in Canada and recently in Florida.
Why do the LIARS always get time on MTP? Even Russert told Feingold that he only got 13 frigging votes on the "cut and run" ammendment. Feingold said "those aren't American votes".
Someone needs to tell Feingold that THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES! American people do not, perhaps Feingold doesn't know this, vote directly on legislative issues; we elect representatives to do that.
Then Feingold says, hold my temper for me a minute, that "the Democratic party IS the American people". I am not making this up.
I don't care if kooks have an opinion. But the kooks are getting waaaaaay more representation on MTP than they deserve. Sure MTP has to know they're not being fair and balanced with constantly having nuts on the show.
Okay, I'm done.
"I am watching Russ Feingold on MTP and first thing I begin to curse"
I just yelled STFU! at Feingold on TV. Was in a good mood, but his statement:
"al-queda is winning"
put me over the top.
Loved your rant...
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday, early!!!
No. You're just beginning. But you did nail this one rather well.
Excellent post, Fishtalk!
