Ever Onward

Pity the pundits at Fox"News".

The prez slighted them on the Sunday talk show circuit. I can't imagine why. They twist and distort everything but his bowel movements, so I don't blame him for giving them the finger. I mean, it is the network of Glenn Beck, who is usually carrying on like a liqueured-up chimpanzee about the 'Communist Threat'. That ended a long time ago in the real world, but not on Planet Beck.

Good for the prez!

I liked the video of the Fox producer whipping up the herd at the Thousand Shmeggegie (it is a great Yiddish word my grandfather used occasionally)March. It just shows how spontaneous that was. Which brings me to my thoughts for the day.

I am beginning to believe that all this idiocy, from the town hall tantrums, to the aforementioned crank-o-rama, is a dry run for next election. I hunch that Fox has decided to take on the whole idea of democracy, and interrupt the electoral process as much as possible. After all they do call themselves 'The Voice of the Opposition." Can you imagine outbursts as candidates try to campaign? They pretend to be a "News" channel and as such they can pump their delusions 24/7 into the hearts and minds of the faithful.

Is Fox the front for the corporate hostile takeover of the American government? If so, and it is not as far fetched as some might think, then progressives, democrats, and people who genuinely love freedom, are going to have to begin calling these corprobots out on their game, and not set back and shake our heads at their stupidity. We need to get at least as noisy.

Someone might say I am being paranoid about all this, and I can tell you there would be nobody happier than I, if that is indeed, the case. Having said that, I recall a t-shirt I saw many years ago. It read: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!"

That is my two cents for the day.
