Well the sun is going down on another Sunday and another long week of crap will begin anew tomorrow morning. Here are a couple of random thoughts about tonight and the past week.
The Oscars are tonight. Always a tough night for me because I hate "Hollywood" and all the "stars", but yet I love movies. So I will probably watch some of it because I would like for a few movies I saw to do well. I really enjoyed No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and Juno. One cool thing about each of these is that there aren't any "Hollywood types" in them. So I'm pulling for each movie and all the actors in them. Just spare me the George Clooney's of this world.
This week the New York Times made their first attempt to discredit a Republican candidate. The great thing about this is that many liberals are even calling it weak and I see it as a sign that this dying rag of a "newspaper" is on their way out. They are no longer relevant and their bias just keeps getting exposed year after year. People are tired of it and their falling subscription rates and upcoming firings prove this. You can only print jokers like Frank Rich and Paul Krugman for so long before people see you as nothing but a joke. The crossword remains as the only thing "fit to print". The weird thing about the story is that they have been holding it since December, but yet endorsed McCain before Super Tuesday. So they knew they had this story and that they were going to use it against McCain, but yet still endorsed him.
Fidel Castro stepped down as the leader of Cuba this week and his brother was selected to replace him today. On the nightly news tonight they interviewed a bunch of Cubans in the local government ran markets and listened to all the complaints about food shortages, long lines at healthcare facilities, and low wages. Isn't socialism great!! Nothing beats hungry, underpaid, sick people watching state tv and reading their state newspaper!! Oh wait...that sucks. Surely the nightly news has it wrong though. Michale Moore took sicks veterans to Cuba for treatment because of their great healthcare. So who is right? Actual Cubans or a liberal propagandist trying to persuade uneducated Americans like Oprah?? I'll go with the actual Cubans. The moral of this story? When you walk into that voting booth in November think about those sick, hungry, and underpaid Cubans. Look at their leaders and how much the government runs their lives, then compare that to the candidates we have. For those of you who aren't catching on I will spell it out for you. Put fatigues, a beard, and a few wrinkles on Obama and you've got Castro.
Enjoy your Sunday evening and I'll see in the bread lines!!

No kidding dude, you are a genius. I too, know the strain of loving movies, but loathing Hollywood scumbag actors. The Times is good for one thing and one thing only, that's a crossword puzzle. You know it, I know it, hell, everyone knows that. They should quit the bullshit and just publish a daily crossword. Cuba has traded one useless shit-for-brains for another. I can't believe that people are still talking about universal health care when all you have to do is look at the sterling example those socailist douch-bags have set roughly ninety miles south of Florida.
