What the effing hell?

So Rosie and Elisabeth on the View got in a little spat today about gun control. Big deal. Elisabeth, I'm sure, was just very cranky and hungry. (eat a sandwich! You're off the island!)

Nothing new, nothing exciting, except the story I stumbled across was written for an 'anti-liberal' website: www.newsbusters.org. What the f*#k?? The masthead states "NewsBusters: Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias." Wow. Not only can you own a gun, hate black people, shop at Wal-Mart, and just plain adore George W., there are websites out there completely devoted to trashing any liberal agenda -- and any story with a slightly liberal twist.

Here was one comment about Wal-Mart, in response to comments by famed Wal-Mart critic Paul Krugman:


Since returning to the United States, I have decided to shift some more of my dollars I spend on various items to Wal-Mart for no other reason than to give them more profits with which to defend themselves from withering attacks from people who hate them for no other reason than they are successful and by and large their critics are not.


Seriously.

Readers may post comments - and the 'nics' are slightly amusing: exLib, neoConfirmed, Conservative Voice, etc, etc. The comments involve your usual banter about the price of gas, how global warming is a myth, how abortion is yucky, guns, guns, Wal-Mart, and stupid American political talk that is especially annoying when both parties are on the Right side of things. These people are creepy; they started making fun of Rosie's weight! What a clever jab!

(It's fun to read the stories out loud with a southern accent - go ahead, try it out!)

In conclusion, well, there's no conclusion.. I know I shouldn't be perpetuating the negative, and some may think I am providing some inadvertent promotion, but it's about time we realized that this is the way the majority of Americans think (I know, I know, New York City and California don't count and I love them both as much as I love Manitoba). I'm unabashedly shocked by the NUMBER of websites exactly like this one.

That's all. Back to Thanksgiving - which may actually mean something to me now (can you smell the neo-patriotism?)

They even attacked Rose Kennedy! Rose Kennedy! What the hell did she ever do to anyone, except be pinchably cute and regal and stuff - gawd!

So I know that "posting shit from your childhood diary" is about as original as The Hoff falling asleep somewhere, but I felt like writing something, and what's wrong with 're-writing' something you already wroke, like 19 years ago???


I know, they're very short. It was one of those diaries that had about 10 lines reserved for every day of the year. I kept my responses short, so that I wouldn't wear myself out come December. That idea kinda sucked in the end.

Dear Diary,
Today we played in the snow. Tomorrow we are going back to school. I might be able to be in the WWF fanclub.

Today was art and a boy on our bus got his ear ripped off by our bus driver Mr. Lomenicki.

Dear Diary,
In wrestling today, The Hart Foundation stole the tag-team belt from the British Bulldogs. And worse, Andre the Giant turned bad. THANKS A LOT!
