Hey all (and by that I mean nobody at all haha). So it's been almost three weeks since I last posted. To be blunt, I felt like I was kinda forcing it. Like, I felt as if I was posting just because I wanted to have a blog that had more posts or something. I don't know why. Maybe because I was trying to pretend that I'm an actual blogger? Oh, self-deprecation. No but seriously, there's no point in posting if I don't feel like it. Especially because I don't really write about anything. I mostly just write about whatever is bothering me or whatever comes across my mind at the time. Whatever, I enjoy it.
I saw this interview last night with Jon Stewart on Chris Wallace's show on Fox News. It was...really awesome. I mean I might just be a dumb liberal asshole who's no better than all of those absolute idiots who watch the other absolute idiots on Fox News, but I don't think so. It was exhilarating to watch Jon Stewart - the most down to earth and just all around correct man - just serve up Fox News on a platter. I mean, what the hell were they expecting? Did they think that he would come to that interview cold, just waiting to be shown up by some shaky research done by Fox interns? No but seriously, it wasn't just exhilarating to watch because I share the same hatred towards Fox News that millions of other sane people have. It was just so refreshing to know that their remains some sliver of sanity in the world of politics and news coverage. Because, to be honest, it's far easier to spend an hour watching politics on Fox vomit about how Homosexuals violate the sanctity of marriage than it is to find a person talking about the world as it is.
The soundest argument that Jon had in the interview, and the one that seemed to affect him the most, was when he pointed out that polls have shown that Fox News viewers are consistently the most uninformed viewers when it comes to real, important topics like the economy and foreign affairs. When it comes down to it, Fox News is a tabloid and Stewart did a fantastic job of exposing that fact. After Obama addressed the nation and revealed his plan to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, I immediately turned to Fox News to hear what bullshit they had to say. I was not disappointed. I found them criticizing him on every single thing they could. Now, I'm all for objectivity. So I'm not saying that it's ridiculous to have bad things to say about the president. But when it gets to the point where you're saying "Well I just don't think that he's set realistic goals because I think that if we pull out our troops in 2014, we're going to see more 9/11's." What an absurd thing to say. Honestly, unidentifiable nondescript man wearing thick brim glasses and a gray suit? How did you even crack into the field of journalism? Or tabloidism, I should say.
Don't even get me started on people who think Obama wasn't born in America. WHAT could POSSIBLY make you say that?!? There is absolutely nothing that supports such a ridiculous claim. He has an American birth certificate! He is the president of the United States! So now, just because Donald Trump says that he has "people looking into the matter,"Barack isn't American!? It's just so stupid. There is no proof or even falsified documentation to suggest he isn't American. The only reason people are thinking this is because he is Barack Hussein Obama - black man. Not John David Anderson - white man. It's nauseating.
On another note, I saw a report about some wildfires that have been occurring in Arizona - home of the Arizona Immigration Law. In an interview, John McCain revealed that it was "illegal aliens" who were starting the fires. That's all. No support. No proof. Just racist, absurdist, ignorant words. What were you thinking, John? Immigrants are responsible for these fires?! How are you a respected man? I thank God that he isn't our President. What's even more horrifying is that some people watch him spit this bullshit and absorb it because all they need for something to become fact is some senile old fart to say it on Fox. What horse shit.
Alright that's all for now.
