The Sky is Falling
On Monday night before Monday Night Football, ABC showed a vignette featuring one of the actresses from Desperate Housewives (apparently another show on ABC, I've never seen it) seducing Eagles receiver Terrell Owens. In doing show, she takes off her clothes and we see her bare back as she jumps into TO's arms, and now the whole country has gone loco again. Remember the stupid Janet Jackson controversy, it's like that times ten.
It's amazing how completely hypocritical the "majority" can be. They don't want people to be gay, yet they also don't want people to be able to see a woman's back on television? They condemn the violence of video games, yet support a pointless war where real people die? America has become one giant Helen Lovejoy character, screaming "won't somebody please think of the children!" anytime someone reminds them that the "good old days" never existed.
And we're fast approaching the Christmukwanzaa season, where people of all religious beliefs become offended by everyone else's decorations. Well listen up America:
FUCK
Did that offend you? Did it threaten your marriage? Did it take away the rights of unborn cells? Did it not support our troops? Did it undermine your religious beliefs? Nobody cares, worry about yourself rather than what's on television. Leave my football alone.

Well you could at least have had the decency to print that word upside down at the bottom of the screen, with an appropriate warning about offensive language lurking below.
I was talking about all this relgious right wanting everybody to be like them mania with a colleague (who does computational logic if that gives you a hint) yesterday. How did a country founded on ideas of tolerance become so intolerant?

There was also a guy on the Daily Show last week who wrote a book about how all the working class people who used to be democrats have all become republicans. It is pretty interesting that our country has done a complete 180 and now the GOP is the party of the working-class, even though their platform has not changed.

And GOP is the big spending party too
