What a BIZARRE country we live in...

I was watching MSNBC and when Kobe came out that stupid Keith Oberman was talking about how many words Kobe spoke and HOW MANY MINUTES AND SECONDS IT TOOK HIM TO SAY THEM!!!!!!! Geesus Khrrrrrrrist!!!!!!!!! Our troops are suffering in 120% heat and getting maimed and killed by a phony ass war based on LIES from Resident Evil and they pound this trivial bullshit!!!! Damn,I'm more ashamed to be an American every single day! WE HAVE NO NEWS!!!!! Why oh why aren't they telling us what is going on in the rest of the world? Boy,if it has anything to do with SEX these self rightous idiots will milk it for all its worth! :argh:

4. Screw that. Cancell it all. By an antenna and read more books.

.

I don't have cable and haven't for years. I miss it, the same way a fiend misses drugs.

5. Can't have an external antennna

Edited on Wed Aug-06-03 06:50 PM by hlthe2b

and already tried the best internal amplified version. At $13.40/month for analog channels 2-22, I can justify and the nasty ass cable company is certainly not making anything off me. I agree with you, cutting anything but network lets me break free of this incredible time drain and revisit life. My pup likes it better too, since she is not at risk of becoming an afterthought!

2. Pravda has decided that it is not time to talk about the

Highly Justified Self Defensive War Against Iraq/Terrorists and their WMD Which Will Be Found Soon.

We are being ordered to distract ourselves from the efforts of our courageous troops who are Protecting Our Freedoms, and to Watch Famous Basketball Star Get Tried For Rape.

So just relax and go with the flow. Drink a beer. Wave your flag.

3. Another soldier dies in Iraq

I cannot understand how so little attention is on what really matters. Another Viet Nam may be festering but all the news is about a $4 million purple diamond ring.
