yeah i agree ron, michael moore is a bit over the top, but i do like some of his work. i've only seen part of bowling for columbine, and i've meant to see the rest, just havent gotten around to it yet, figures. but i'm reading one of his books, "stupid white men," and i think there's some stuff that can be taken from it. absolutely, he is an extremely paranoid left winger who may even make pat buchanan look conservative. but not everything he says is without merit, even if its just to inform you of interesting things that oyu didnt know about. now obviously all the statistics in his book are chosen carefully and for a reason, but you can make statistics mean anything you want. i dont pay careful attention to them. like when he's talking about who bush made heads of some committees, and he criticizes bush appointing oil people to heads of energy/oil committees. to me, that makes sense . these people know about this. would you rather i head the committee, knowing nothing about oil or politics? didnt think so. but the book is an interesting read, and might be worth your while. if you dont believe me, lane's reading it too and thinks the same. so suck on that.
also, i completely agree about the people like the mcdonalds guy, what a fucking moron. people like that deserve to die. and i dont know how thesepeople become american icons, just cuz they eat shitty, are lazy, and therefore get fat. it kills me. every time someone like that becomes famous, or someone becomes the "american idol" a little [big] part of me dies. jesus christ, if people want reality why dont they pay more attention to THEIR REAL FUCKING LIVES. it doesnt get any more real than that people. but instead we have child abuse/neglect, divorce, alcoholism/drug abuse (more than just social), and homelessness cuz everyone's more interested in who the bachelor picked and what amateur the record labels is going to tell us to pray to for the next 6 months. give me a fucking break. those people should all die. i hope that giants qb who went on teh bachelor gets to play, and on the first play some linebacker comes in and breaks his legs and he has to get a real fucking job. i hope the next american idol gets too close to the microphone while performing and gets the herpes that teh singer before left behind. this is ridiculous. maybe if people focused on their own damn lives more, there wouldnt be so much stupid shit in our country. its not selfish to focus on yourself to make sure you're doing ok. there was once a really smart guy named charles darwin, who came up with the idea of survival of the fittest. well that ugly fuck jared, and his mcdonalds buddies are turning america into survival of the fattest who are then gonna whine about it and blame everyone but themselves. fuck that, die.
on a side note i'm gettin a dog on friday . retriever mix, black and brown, 5 months old. named santos, after the episode of the simpsons where bart uses santa's little helper to get a credit card, and it comes back santos l. halper.
all this ranting made me hungry. off to mcdonalds, but at least i wont complain about how fat i am...
