September 11th Remembered
September 11th is a day that most people will not soon forget. Bloodshed and wanton murder were the prescription for the day. American citizens had their lives taken by a group of dark skinned heathens and religious zealots. Truly an era ended on that fateful day, and the war that would result from the attacks claimed the lives of many more. Even those we thought of as allies would turn against us, and America would be left as the one who suffered from the loss of unarmed civilian casualties.
As I am sure you are all aware, I am referencing that bloody day,
September 11th, 1857, when Mormons and Indians teamed up to slaughter 120 settlers on their way to California. Be warned Mormons and Indians, a sleeping giants has awoken, and this day will not be forgotten.

On Reading History, by Richard Delicious
Reading history, I cannot help but think of the future.
Imagine a time so far from now that the ruins of the Chelsea Hotel
are just being made ready to be unearthed in an archaelogical exploration.
Think of a time when the recently discovered manuscripts of Proust or Koontz or Toshiba create the only perception of what people were like in the third millenium.
"What an odd culture they were!" exclaimed a woman, ten-thousand years from now,
noticing a headline about the recent discovery.
"The mighty and powerful King James ruled Earth for centuries, and the people built this tower for his honor." lectured a gray haired professor; who in all likelihood would not have gray hair at all.
"What would it be like to live during the silicon age?" a child asked his father,
"You should be grateful to be alive today" the father replied,
"The people of a civilized age are much better off in the end."

Fair, Balanced, Modest, Not Rascist
Bunny and I recently attended a screening of
OutFoxed, a documentary about Rupert Murdoch and his Fox News Mega-Empire. While the documentary itself lacks in many areas, it did inspire a lot of thought about television in general, and the state of American news journalism. It is a fairly interesting movie, and has been received reviews that I think are better than it deserves. Doonesbury even recently did a strip on it.
The thing that bugs me the most about Fox is not their biased "reporting", or even the way that mindless suburban drivers of Suburbans believe every word of what O'Reilly and Company say. I just think it is really amusing that they call themselves "Fair and Balanced" because it seems to me that through the act of labelling yourself "Fair" or "Balanced" you inherently become biased and unfair. Does this not seem obvious to everyone? Its like giving your own television station the "Most Humble and Modest Station in the World" award. If you have to say it, it isn't true. Like when someone starts a sentence with: "I'm not a rascist, but..." If you have to preface a statement with a disclaimer about not being a rascist, get a clue, you are a rascit.

1. I am only wearing a towel, because I just got out of the shower.
2. I am hungover enough to get in the shower, and then forget to wash my hair.
3. Someone left an Ayn Rand book on my bed last night. What the hell is that?
4. I am so poor right now that two nights ago, for dinner, I ate a whole package of raw cookie dough.
5. I tricked you into thinking I had five things you don't know about me.

Dear Terrorists...
Dear Terrorists:
After a very uneventful Fourth of July, I am beginning to question your zeal. Here in America want to hate you and your country as much as you hate us, but you are making it very difficult. Beheadings, bombings and rocket propelled grenadings have been significantly down recently. If this relationship is going to last, you need to start pulling your weight. How is the average American suppossed to despise you and your culture if you aren't actively taking part in terror on a daily basis? We all know that you claim to love terror, but words only stretch so far.
We are committed to our hatred of you, are you committed to us?
