Hypocrisy at its finest.

I've always been a hater of the American media, but in particular Fox News. No other media giant is more ridiculously and conspicuously pro-Republican and just flat out bigots. The video below shows the lowest blow that just made me want to throw a shoe at my screen for watching it. Ralph Nader is an exemplary American, defender of the poor and the consumer. To attack him and presume his racism was the lowest possible, most base, most animal of all moves. In the clip it didn't matter what Nader said or what was meant by the metaphor; the importance was that he used a racially sensitive word and Fox jumped in to be the "moral" high ground. Well FUCK political sensitivity, FUCK political correctness.

Nader is right. Obama WILL have to choose between being a leader, innovator and CHANGE or more of the same. Between bowing down to the huge lobbies and agendas or choosing for what is best for the most people. But really Fox, really? The hypocrisy and bigotry in that news anchor's face is the look of intolerance, of stupidity. And that bitch at the end DECLARING the end of Nader's career. Who are you? GAHHH, this video gets me so mad, I can't even express it.

I Hate Fox News.

It's not over.

Below are the videos of a panel that was held at the University of Chicago on January 7th, 2009. Please check it out.

  

Ali Abunimah, Palestinian journalist and all around awesome.

Proffessor Meirsheimer, I can't wait to take his class!

Norman Finkelstien, self-hating Jew, very, very against Israel's action, I probably liked him the least but still worth seeing. 

And I found this article in an Israeli newspaper. You Judge for yourself.

Presidential Pictures, What they're really thinking.

"yeah....thanks for fucking up the first time..."

"Um yeah... This is Barack OBAMA. Ever heard? Why the fuck don't I have a cordless phone? I'm the president of the United States!!"

"Mission Accomplished."

The Obama girls are hard to keep entertained.

 And finally... the black man still has to walk home. That's fucked up. 

A Brief Introduction

I admit up until now I've never really been the "blogging" type of person. I'm anything but reticent about my thoughts in person, but never felt comfortable putting my inner ruminations down in writing for all the world to see. Usually, when I think of your stereotypical "blogger," I think of an angst-ridden, lonely teenager, a fringe political junkie, or a cultist. How unappetizing! 

But there's simply too much going on in the world to remain completely silent. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, you simply cannot ignore the myriad issues confronting human society. That is, unless you get your news from one of the less reputable sources. Of course, blogging isn't all about the strong political commentary. It's an exercise in creativity, humor, philosophy, and wit, and you'll find plenty of that here as well. 

I'll keep this introduction short, because I'm too busy to go on in some rambling manifesto (which I am quite tempted to do). My thanks to Jonathan for inspiring this project, and to you, the readers, for giving it a purpose.

CHANGE HAS COME TO THE BLOGOSPHRE

So for a long time now I've blogged, ranted about several subjects throughout several mediums, mostly social networking sites. But never had I truly entered this spherical world of the blogosphere ( I assume it's spherical). I guess it's time now. Many people seem to enjoy my little snippets of thought, usually recklessly put together in a fit of emotion/inspiration with very little respect for the english language as I constantly have run on sentences, and, overuse, the privilege of the comma. But as the title states, CHANGE has come to the blogosphere. And not just any change, "FUNDAMENTAL change" as Obama puts it.

I'm not at this alone. I count on you readers to tell me when I'm wrong, blah, blah, blah (plagarize Obama's speech!)  And I've also summoned the help of a friend and a most worthy intellectual to help keep this blog diverse, interesting and frequent. We will disagree at times, and I find this useful.

So basically this will be about anything and everything from politics, philosophy, humor to whatever else tickles our fancy, revves our engines, blows our skirts up, shakes our tailfeathers and that generally incites interest.

Below are some really old posts on facebook that I particularly loved and thought would be appropriate here.
