Fair And Balanced

Some people say that the Fox News Network is just a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. Hmmmmm. A couple of days ago, President Bush held a press conference to announce that John Roberts would be nominated for the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The press asked "What have we learned about him?" to which Bush responded "Well, he's a gentleman." Sheesh. Quite the qualification for the Supreme Court. Then, suddenly, Fox News put up the graphic (right). Click to enlarge. (This, by the way, was stolen from tonight's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)

Random Thoughts On The Hour Long NFL Pre-Game Show

• The Rolling Stones are scary
• Freddie Prinze, Jr. was very annoying as the MC
• Michelle Branch is good looking
• Ozzy Osbourne might have died before his performance
• The presentation of the Patriot's championship banner was very, very cool
• The odd look on the players' faces after they ran out onto the field and stood around while Ozzy sang "Crazy Train" was pretty funny
• Trisha Yearwood has been eating a few chicken fried steaks
• The Patriots owner was cheered wildly when introduced
• And now I have to be beaten down by John Madden

Update: The Patriot Cheerleaders have just won the "I Just Dropped My Glass and Stared Award" for the skimpiest (sp?) outfits I have ever seen.

That's Weird

Mr. Bill knew about the levee problem.

Legitimate News

Some guy named Ricky Roghair was just sentenced to 99 years in prison by a Wise County jury for aggravated assault. Since I didn't watch any of it, I really don't know much other than (1) he used a weapon the State called a deadly weapon (a fireplace poker, not a red hot poker, just a fireplace poker), (2) he had a prior felony conviction which increased the range of punishment from 2 to 20 years to 5 to 99 years/life, (3) the victim was a female who might have ended up with a pierced cheek because of the incident, and (4) I think it took place in Runaway Bay.

Well This Certainly Settles Who's Right
