Jesus Would be So Proud…

…of this.  Oh, that Christian compassion!

Grasping

You know, I’m no fan of Wal-Mart.  Whenever possible I try to shop someplace else, but I don’t think they’re the greatest evil ever perpetrated against mankind.  That’s why I won’t believe the company purposefully placed African-American themed products as "similar items" on the same page as Planet of the Apes.  It’s a computer error, that simple.  Amazon has a similar system in place — most online stores do — and I’ve often been surprised at what they call "similar" items.

Repeal 22

Oddly enough, I think I could get behind the idea of repealing the 22nd Amendment, which bars presidents from serving more than two terms. In a democratic system should we not allow the voters to decide whether or not to keep a president in power?  Granted, with some of the voter fraud we’ve seen in the last few years you have wonder what lengths some would go to keep their man (or woman) in office.

Cowardly Affiliates

Station WTWO-TV in Terre Haute, IN, and NBC affiliate, will pre-empt The Book of Daniel "…to protest what the station views as the network’s strong-arm approach
to affiliates, as well inconsistent federal oversight of indecent
content."  You know, shit like this annoys me.  I’ve have always been annoyed at local affiliates who pre-empt national programming for one reason or another, especially when it’s a popular show I’ve been waiting to see.  I am of the opinion, that an affiliate should be required to air the programming of their network — the only pre-emptions should be for locally important news events and weather-related emergencies.  If you have a problem with the national network, work it out, don’t make your viewers pay the price for petty bullshit.  I wouldn’t be surprised if my local NBC affiliate, KYTV, did the same.

What’s most annoying about this brouhaha is that the show hasn’t even aired!  The AFA is only going by press descriptions of the show and the fact that it’s creator is a "practicing homosexual."
