I find this theme is not to my liking.

I find it funny where this page has gone.  I know I was going to give up at some point but…what the hell.  It’s not like I check this page all the time….maybe this means that I should branch out.  You know, see more webpages.  But then I remember that I’m too busy doing my shit to read about someone else doing it.

Here’s some clips I found, enjoy.
 

 
Title: The 9-11 Tribute at the RNC - And Olbermann’s Reaction
 
I don’t get a lot of time to watch the news, and I miss the evening reports on all major networks almost daily. It’s always a real treat to me when I actually am able to catch the national broadcasts instead of local news. National news broadcasts are generally more global, and cover more national events than local news. The real purpose of Local News is to be useful to the community within its broadcast range, and for the most part, they do that with weather reports, traffic updates, community events, school closings, etc.
 
I don’t get to see things like the video above. It’s not repeated in the news sources I follow, and unless it had come recommended from a friend, I may never have seen this clip. I don’t really know who Keith Olbermann is, but thanks to Wikipedia, I’m filled in with the basics. I found this little factoid interesting:

According to Olbermann, he was fired from Fox in 2001 after reporting on rumors that Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corporation owns Fox, was planning on selling the Los Angeles Dodgers.[12] When asked about Olbermann, Murdoch said “I fired him…He’s crazy.”[13] News Corp. sold the Dodgers to Frank McCourt in 2004.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to notice the similarities between the hate filled propaganda the Big Brother government churned out in George Orwell’s 1984. Supporters of the Republican party who are not aware of these similarities should feel free to read up on a great piece of literature.
 
I’m going to add this clip I just found tonight as well. This is another Keith Olbermann clip in which he discusses Bill O’Reilly’s mix-up with facts:
 

 
What’s hilarious about that clip is that Fox News went back and changed Bill O’Reilley’s transcript to fix his error. If you can’t see the similarities between that and Big Brother, I’m surprised you’re still able to read what I’m typing. Keith Olbermann has no problem seeing the relation either. What angers me most about that clip is the fact that it’s two years old! It’s been two years and I had no idea that Fox News was going back and changing transcripts to their news broadcasts. I could have thought Bill O’Reilly was a bigger waste of human space than I previously believed for two years now!
 
Which brings up an interesting point. Important things like this get buried under all the other crap we have to sort through to find real interesting things. Have you heard about this case yet? Sheboygan women files landmark case over Web links. I didn’t either until last night when I was reading a week old Sunday paper. It sounds like the local government tried to abuse their power and shut down a perfectly legal action by some activist using the internet to try and rally a recall of the town’s mayor.
 
Apparently I haven’t been following the news well enough recently, and it’s scary to think of everything else I could be missing. I still don’t want to watch more TV than I do, but if TV was more useful to me, maybe I’d change my mind. I’m not sure how I feel about Keith Olbermann. He seems to over react to what he’s talking about, but at least he’s reacting. And a way in which I agree. I really can’t think of other newscasters I’ve seen who seem to make it their resolve to expose irresponsible behaviors in media. We do have John Stewart and The Daily Show, but I’m sure the last thing any of them want is to be taken as serious journalist. I think there’s some people on PBS who are good at this sort of thing. I’ve seen some of Democracy Now, they seem pretty good… I think? I don’t even know who the good news sources are.
 
One thing for sure is clear. Bill O’Reilly is no good. If you still believe otherwise, here’s another clip:
 

 
Just the fact that he has to bully a kid and use another one as a “news source” is hilarious to me. How did this guy get on TV? Why do people watch? Why does Fox News exist? If you want more Bill O’Reily clips, YouTube is full of them. Maybe that’s why he’s on air so much. Since news is generally seen as a form of entertainment by many people, those who are most entertaining get to stick around. A curse of humanity’s love for spectacle I suppose.
 
To close, and to kind of some up this post, I leave you with a link to Wikipedia’s article about The Big Lie.

 
So I was having some beers with friends when we heard a bunch of commotion downstairs. The neighborhood’s kind of rough so we thought it was a fight at the bar downstairs. We even thought the windows being punched out were gunshots. We ran outside, and saw kids being dropped from a second story bedroom while flames creeped up the side of the house.
 
Something like this was bound to make the local news, and here’s the first station I noticed to have the story: Three Jump From Riverwest House Fire.
 
Sounds like no one was hurt, and the cops, paramedics, and fire department all seemed to do a good job of managing things. Always good to see tax dollars put to good use. Overall, it was the biggest spectacle I’ve witnessed in awhile.

That’s right, who would have thought that the most elusive of all creatures would have been found by two guys in Georgia. Oh, and one of them is an ex-police officer. And the other? A “correctional officer” (aka “Prison Guard”).

According to CNN.com, there will be a press conference on August 15, 2008 in Palo Alto, CA to release the DNA evidence and photographs of this 7′ 7″ 500 lb. frozen bigfoot. The press conference will be lead by none other than Tom Biscardi, the CEO of Searching for Bigfoot Inc. For those of you new to the world of bigfoot hunters, Biscardi has had a long career of faking bigfoot findings. In a famous 2005 interview on George Noory’s show Coast-to-Coast AM, Biscardi charged website visitors to see streaming footage of a “captured bigfoot.” Biscardi, after failing to deliver on the footage, claimed that he himself had been scammed and there would be no straming video evidence. I sure hope those people got their money back.

Now back to the finders of this new Bigfootcicle. Matthew Whitton (the ex-cop) and Rick Dyer (the prison guard, aka “Butt Sex Voyeur”) have admitted to making fake videos of bigfoot in the past, much like the one you’ll see below:

They say that video’s fake, but this new body is real. Oh, and that doctor in the video? Dr. Paul Van Buren? He’s fake too. In fact, he’s the brother of Mr. Whitton. In the video, Van Buren claims he’s “a busy scientist.” That should be the first sign of fraud. Scientists are never busy.

So what will we find out tomorrow? My guess is we’ll have further proof into the existence of Rednecks.

Yesterday I was driving to work and saw a lisence plate that said “pla8er” at first I was like playeighter, what’s a playeighter and then the realization came to me it meant player. Read more…
