In other news...

...the DPRK just sentenced Laura Ling and Euna Lee to 12 years of hard labor.

Anyone who cares to know what this means might want to take a look at these books.

Also, Jesus. My thoughts are with Ling, Lee, and their families.

That will be all.

Seriously. I thought O'Reilly was pretty effing unbelievable. If you had told me three years ago that someone would come along whose idiocy topped his, I would have punched you in the face and stolen your wallet out of principle. And then I would have had to have felt very bad for it now, because you would have been right.

Amen on the news. It's one of the things I think NHK does really well--presenting facts with a minimum of bias (at least in 90% of cases). If we're talking the American news media, then I think Rachel is by far the best. But I'm a wonk at heart so she'd have to try very, very, very hard to bore me. Keith needs to realise that humor is not his strong point, nor is he Stewie, and just going back to being an overly serious blowhard.

And oh, Joe Wilson. I had a reeaalllly freaking hard time trying to explain that one to the Japanese people I know...

I bet. I'd be interested in knowing exactly how you explained it, cause I'm at a lose myself. I understand why he didn't apoligize to the House...he'd lose too many campaign donations. That's Politics 101. But the rest is mindboggling.

Anyway, screw decorum. I want a royal rumble match on the senate floor. Maybe then the goddamn liberals would be forced to have some balls and throw a literal punch or two.

either that or open primaries. but I like the WWE solution.
