I just cant fucking take this anymore

[Taverner]

The Coronation goes on, with MonkeyBitch once again crowned king while the stupid masses watch American Idol...and it looks like we're already invading Iran...the draft becomes more of a reality...the coronation has PA speakers shouting at everyone to be patriotic...

WTF??? Did I wake up in some alternate universe or something?

I'm glad I'm on a codine and vicodin cocktail for my flu or I'd be going postal about now...

[WindRavenX]

1. The dumbing down of America, sadly...

...anti-intellectualism in America has become extremely powerful. Check out Mark Crispin Miller's "The Bush Dyslexicon".

2. Codeine and vicodin for the flu?

:wtf:

That seems a bit extreme....

[Taverner]

7. Well the codine is for the cough

And the vicodin was for an earlier back problem, but it beats the fever...

[Kikosexy2]

3. Codine...

and vicadin with a cocktail--my kind of party! That's soooo AbFAB of you.

5. welcome to dominionist 'murika

Since you obviously are not a mindless drone, please take your spot on the provided boxcar so that you may be shipped off for retraining.

6. Hey! I like American Idol, and I'm not stupid!

No, not an alternate universe... just the new and improved worship-the-rich America.

What, you don't like it? You must not be rich, then, so YOU DON'T FUCKING MATTER!

[Taverner]

8. Not knocking American Idol

It's just that the local news stations, be they FOX, CBS or NBC pass off the new season as NEWS, when us invading Iran for some reason ISN'T news.

I'm so old I remember when the mantra of American Journalism was "if it bleeds it leads"

[redqueen]

9. I think "If it bleeds it leads" still applies,

however there's a new corollary: "...unless said bleeding impacts the approval rating of the chimperor."

10. I know what you mean.

I scream at the TV all day "Why is this News?" It really bothers me when stories about Ben& Jen or whoever is seen as the biggest tragedy we are facing as a Nation.

11. Hang in Dude, this too will pass, shrub got lot's of HARD WORK.

AND YOU KNOW,he'd really rather be doing superficial shit, you know his A.d.d has got to be peaking.

12. It plays better in the original German

See Triumph of the Will....Leni Riefenstahl was a more gifted cinematographer than many of what we have today.

[Kellanved]
