What's on the news? Well, let's see:
another rape, another murder; what's new America? it's called news for a reason right? flip that channel. Bonds makes history, that's a little better. worth at least seven, maybe eight minutes of fame. but while we're at it, let's talk about steroids. Mariners fever is up, Seahawks fever is close behind, too many sports.
makovers! now here's something fresh. How can I make me happy? well...a new guy might make things make more sense. so we'll need a facial makover - here's my wallet, and here's my heart. now the house needs to be redone, which the TV can tell me how to do in a heartbeat. Here's my wallet again. God forbid the colors shouldn't match!
save the trees!!! oh yeah, honey, look at this new housing development that just went in! abundant wildlife: racoons and pigeons. we have mail; they say Netflix is the best, but now it's Blockbuster, let's just do both. how to lose weight in, how many days? do I cut out the carbs or the fat or the calories? just cut out food? or was it excercising? I would like a diet coke with that please.
Tiger ties course record - more sports? exasperated sigh. flip the channel again...976, 977, 978
stocks are up, stocks are down. retire here! great news - you CAN race through college to get that dream job to buy that dream car to retire in that dream house - called dream for a reason, did we not mention that's three marriages later and you're alone now, except of course for your Mercedes and the two or three letters after your last name?
this actor is marrying this celebrity; wait, they're divorced already! and what happens to the little dark-skinned kid from Africa who called you mom and dad for two months? Oh yes, Africa...here's a check, with (no) love, America.
weather channel, dating channel, shopping channel, send money...
Run away, where's your head?
Dreamer's dreams are grounded
oh by the way America, on the other side of the world the monsoon season is so bad right now that the death rate is looking to be worse than the tsunami last year, on Christmas Day, when you were carving the ham and opening the presents, do you remember what it was? will you remember them in half an hour?
Breaking News!!!!!!, aliens have just landed on earth, are they friends or foe?

Wow Verya. You just captured what I've been trying to say my whole life. When it comes to news, media, polatics, global warming. Why is every thing so sad today! Read my post, it's basically the same, just on a smaller scale.
btw, you're a great writer. ;)
Thank you Lindy! That's not my normal style, I just got slightly worked up and that's what came out. After hearing about the terrible monsoon flooding yesterday in Asia, I look to the news and that's basicaly everything I saw on mns.com home page. Thousands of people are dying and what does America care about?
Off to read you blog now...
wow Verya.
that sounded like Sam.
I'm shocked.
really, really like my brother.
little sister, you've been around me too long!!
wow, congrats!
i wish i could write something like that.

don't wish you could write something like that sam, you write stuff better than that every day.
but thank you for the compliment :)
