My prayers go out to the people attacked and traumatized by the shooting at Fort Hood yesterday. It’s a dark day when a soldier turns on his fellow soldiers and kills them. The worst part of this was having to watch the different cable news channels discuss it. Once again, Fox News trumped the retarded list by immediately placing blame on his Muslim-sounding name before we had any details. And yet – somehow – Fox News is the most trusted news channel in recent polls. My country is full of empty-headed morons who like to watch Glenn Beck for the entertainment value.
Dick Cheney needs to go on a vacation. I mean, he’s clearly out of his league now, and it shows. Poor Dick – still wants to feel relevant in a world that’s passed by (and trying to keep a lawsuit against him from forming). I’m really ashamed of his horrible behavior.
Pakistan claims to be clearing out the Taliban, but that remains to be verified. I’m almost certain that this is all one giant propaganda campaign to keep India from getting involved. The US is clearly worried about India getting involved, since – you know – they haven’t signed a Nuclear Proliferation Treaty.
I sympathize with the gay people in Maine. But you people have to learn where to place the blame and focus when things don’t go your way. Be realistic – do you really think the President could have changed the course? I don’t – you had a very energized anti-gay organization using some very unethical and hateful tactics in your state. Go after those people, and earn some real sympathy.
If anyone doubted my previous sociological preaching that the rich get the most life choices in the US, here’s proof – the rich got the H1N1 vaccine ahead of the regular people who are at greater risk. I can guarantee this has to do with money and influence coming before pregnant women, young kids and at-risk elderly people. Which is embarrassing for the US and their claim that everyone is treated equally.
See, it depends on when you saw the Fox News report and what time.
As the story continues to reveal further details, it has been found for a decided fact that the scum who shot up the base had converted to Islam sometime after joining the military and was quoted on numerous occasions with increasingly disparaging remarks about the war in Iraq against his “fellow Muslims”.
I realize that, but if you read about Fox News’ timely broadcast – before any facts came out about the shooter himself – the Fox News anchor said, “You can tell from the name what this is about.”
As I noted, Fox News wasn’t the only news network to totally have a retarded broadcast about the shootings. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was horrible and did some guessing as well. But at least he stayed away from the racist comments.

Yes, I read that this morning.
Heh… Wolf Blitzer has always been horrible.
(This could, of course, be bias on my part from having CNN running in the background for six hours a day for two and a half years…. I fucking hate most media sources regardless of their “impartial” claims.)
