Not the Brightest Idea

I find myself wondering who had the bright idea to green light the latest  Survivor teams?  I mean, yeah it’s an interesting idea to divide along racial and ethnic lines, but in this day age when everything is a hot button issue, when people are complaining about racial profiling and the use of Islamic fascism, why would CBS want to do this?  Oh, I don’t know, how about ratings?  Still, it seems like a stupid idea.

From Nine to Eight

Boy, the God of the Underworld is not having a good year.  Pluto has been downgraded from a planet to a drwarf planet reducing the number of actual planets in our Solar System to eight.  Now that’s bad economic news!

According to the brain trust that is Sean Hannity, a victory for Democrats in the midterm elections is a "victory for terrorists."  Come one, really?  I mean, really?  I sometimes find myself wondeering if the idiots at Fox News, along with their Conservative friends in other media outlets, really believe this bullshit.  It’s not always easy to tell.  Some say this is just Fox News playing to the wing-nuts and uninformed who watch their network, but sometime I wonder.   A stronger case can be made that the policies of the Bush administration and his neo-con supporters has been a greater boon for terrorists than they could ever have wished for, but how many lefties do see or read saying that?
