Fox Network Programming

Hey, maybe if Disney emulated Fox’s Glutton Bowl and Celebrity Boxing they wouldn’t have to worry about piracy.

Michael Eisner and Intellectual Theft

Apparently, when Disney lost Dennis Miller they also lost all sense of irony. Disney, themselves the proud pirates of public domain classics such as Sleeping Beauty, Pocahontas, and pretty much every other animated movie they’ve made, has recently called the technological industry pirates. Think about that one for a second. And no, of course this doesn’t have anything to do with their recent (same day) stock fall. Or the fact that they make dumb moves.

As an extra bonus, you get to see the impartiality of the media show itself in the above article. Jon Friedman, a CBS guy, makes this revealing comment “Hey, Disney/ABC, way to get the pundits and commentators in the media on your side!”

Florida backwards

Florida, the state that looks like a dick, seems to be further regressing. Now, apparently ATHEIST license plates are too offensive, while they sell a “Choose Life” plate themselves. And then there’s the adoption issue.

God Hates Flags

“If you don’t start burning flags, I am so going to destroy your villages! So sayeth your LORD.” Apparently, god also hates figs too.

Budget Goes All Powerpoint

I’m a bit slow to cover this, but apparently, the new budget is the first to include pictures. It also has an American Flag on the cover. Sounds like the MS PowerPoint agents have infiltrated the highest levels of government.

And even better, apparently Bush awards green, yellow and red dots to agencies based on performance. And he awards the Pentagon five red dots.

There’s a great quote I found.. “If we’re an arrogant nation, they’ll resent us. If we’re a humble nation, but strong, they’ll respect us.” That was George W. Bush, and I’m adding it to the cookie file.
