Where’s the Outrage?

First, you need DirecTV. Then you need the NFL SuperFan which gives the Red Zone channel. They switch to every game when a team is going in for a score. You don’t have to touch a remote DirecTV does that for you!!  Therefore, you watch the best parts of 7 or 8 games.  If there was a big turnover or interception that turned the game, they will show it to you.  Finally, if you are playing fantasy football, you can follow your players on DirecTV. You can also get your laptop out and turn into ESPN. You can follow other games and stats with GameCast.  Now, this is football overload!!  No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon if you are truly a NFL fan!

The song makes little sense.

I know that there a pot of gold for me
All I have to do is just believe
I’m so happy doing the Neutron Dance

In spite of this small fact, the song was/is great.  For a short time, the Pointer Sisters were as big as you could be in music.

Bill O’Reilly has been on tear about the Daily Kos for about 2 months straight. He has equated them with Nazis and the Klu Klux Klan. He points to the “hate” speech that he says can be found there. Here’s the problem, the Daily Kos is an open forum blog. Anyone can post in the dairies and anyone can post a comment. Although the Daily Kos has several monitors they can’t and shouldn’t catch everything. Billo hates that.

The fact of the matter is that Bill O’Reilly’s own web site has hate speech, beside the stuff that he is regurgitating. The FBI has reportedly launched a probe into some of the hate speech on his web site.

The Carpetbagger has found a Republican politician Tim Hugo who has launched an attack ad based on the hate speech that was found in the comment section of Rex Simmon’s blog.

Last month on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert and Daily Kos founder, Markos Moulitsas revealed to the nation how hate speech can easily get on a blog. Funny interview. Enjoy.

Weird Al Yankovic is really funny and really talented.

I posted Weird Al’s White and Nerdy. I have watched it a half a dozen times and it is still funny.
