I was going to add that today is the 150th or so birthday of the Marine Corps. So the flybys make sense. As far as the crazies on TV are concerned, that's another reason I don't have direct TV any more. I mean I have a television, but it has no cable and the reception in my building is so crummy that I don't watch anything. I use it to watch DVDs.
But I digress. I get a bit of the ranty crazyness when I read the comments on news Web sites like CNN and Salon and others. Some are well reasoned, others are just nuts and/or/ trolls. My older brother and his wife watch Fox all the time. They get all worked up and my blood pressure goes up and I look for things to do out of the house (he lives in Houston, so I only have to put up with this over the holidays).
And as for the other conservative arguments, it all boils down to: if only those horrid non-white, non-christian, non-our-flavor-of-Christianity (Papists!), sexually ambiguous, FOREIGNERS and women (who aren't brain-dead submissive bimbos) would go away and let us middle aged, pasty white frat boys run the world, everything would be all right. For Us. .....Now where's my mint julep?!?!
