Is Fox News Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?




No wonder Bush and company couldn't find any WMD's. They were looking in Egypt.

Once again, facts have a liberal bias.

I Wish I Lived In Wisconsin!



What is your state the absolute worst at? I guess when all those scummy Republican politicians tell me about "Nebraska Values", they mean killing a lot of women. Yeah, Nebraska! Way to go! Go Big Red!

Worst Cable Company In The World!



As anybody with any intellectual curiosity (that leaves you Fox folks out) knows, Comcast has begun its reign of error in running MSNBC and subsequently, NBC, into the earth's core, ratings wise, by firing Keith Olbermann. Yeah yeah, he resigned and got a whole lot of money to go away, but he got shitcanned because he's too goddamned truthful. Like Phil Donahue before him, another parade pisser, Olbermann was the highest rated show on that prison documentary dominated network and the big shots at Comcast didn't like it. Donahue got shown the door by the cowards at MSNBC for questioning that Iraq war deal and now Olbermann is on the street for questioning the whackjobs making all that noise in rural America.

Oh I know Keith is a complete pain in the ass. I really wouldn't want to be anywhere around him when he throws one of his fits. But that's just personal stuff. I watched him because he told me things the milquetoasts on network news won't. He was the counterbalance to the liars at Fox, and he wasn't afraid of anybody. He raised millions for the downtrodden and gave hell to the comfortable. The exact opposite of what bullies like O'Reilly, drug addled gasbags like Limbaugh, copycats like Hannity, mental cases like Beck, and nasty excuses for human beings like Ingraham do on a daily basis. I am going to miss him.

Let's hope somebody picks him up as soon as his ban from TV ends. I can't watch a dullard like Lawrence O'Donnell , a really nice, too nice, policy wonk like Rachel Maddow, or a populist barroom loudmouth like Ed Schultz tell me anything. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

I guess with all this talk of civility after the Tucson shootings, I just don't want that. I am sick of the mainstream media's false equivalency of Fox News and Keith Olbermann. They aren't the same. Fox lies and Olbermann didn't. If calling Fox on it's bollocks means civility is dead, well then have a nice wake.

Does Anybody Know The Words To Paranoid?



I've been going to concerts since 1973 when I tagged along with buddies to go to the Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln, Nebraska to see Deep Purple. But I've never seen the self proclaimed Prince of Darkness. Until last night. Oh Lord In Heaven, thank you for inventing Ozzy Osbourne and busting the mold.

Max and Max's Dad trudged off to see the 62 year old legend continue his Scream tour. I had no idea what to expect. The doddering old wastoid hollering for Sharon, or the fucking Prince of Darkness. What you get is both. Ozzy staggers around stage like a demented, arthritic codger. But then you realize from old videos from 30 years ago, Ozzy staggered around stage like a demented, arthritic codger when he was 30. So not much has changed. Ozzy is Ozzy. He is a riot.

Headbanging 50 plus year olds (I plead guilty) throwing the devil horns in the air as Ozzy drops F bombs in nearly every sentence and cranks out the classics like Bark At The Moon, I Don't Know and my personal fave, Mister Crowwwwwwwwwwwwwwley were all in attendance as well as 14 year olds trainees like Max. God, was this good stuff.

When Ozzy started hosing down the front rows with white foam from a fire hose I couldn't stop thinking this guy is nuts and loving every second of it. He did this 3 or 4 times always ending by shooting white foam in his own face and hair. Then some guy whose job it is to wipe off the teleprompter would slither out and make sure Ozzy could remember the words and where the hell he was.

Slash opened the show playing his solo stuff and throwing in some GNR. Now I hate GNR with a passion, but after Slash's set I am now convinced Slash just needs to stop hanging out with whack job lead singers like Ax'l & Scott Weiland. He was great also.

Ozzy is a national, no, a world treasure. He is one of a kind. The rest are mere serfs to The Prince. Long may you live, Ozzy.

Paging Travis Bickle!



In no way am I implying Glenn Beck stoked the fire to cause Laughner the psycho to shoot Rep. Giffords. In no way am I implying Glenn Beck looks like Laughner the psycho. In no way am I implying the grins are those of the mentally ill. In no way am I implying Glenn Beck is as crazy as Laughner the psycho. In no way am I implying Jared Laughner looks like Glenn Beck. In no way am I implying that being fascinated with gold leads one to do terrible things. In no way am I implying the incoherence of Beck and Laughner is similar.

No way!

May I Have 10,000 Marbles, Please?




Ok, one question. Even at Wal Mart, if THIS walked up to you and tried to buy extended magazine clips, would you sell them to him? That's not even gun control, it's common sense.

Jesus H Christ, I'm sick of people and their fucking guns.

Last week we had a disgruntled 16 year old kid walk into a high school here in Omaha, kill his vice principal and severely wound his principal and then blow his own head off. He got the gun from his police detective father.

A 61 year old man just last night called 911 to report a shooting. His own. He'd shot himself cleaning his gun. He's dead now.

Just today some bimbo from Alaska shot her big mouth off again.
