Again with the half-assed apologies

Some moron on Fox News Channel who apparently also has a radio show apparently thought Heath Ledger's death was a really good time to make a bunch of inappropriate jokes. Oddly enough, people were offended and must have called or written in in enough numbers that the asshat was forced to apologize. I say forced because really?





He seems really sincere doesn't he? I'm sorry if you all are so poor humored that you didn't get how incredibly witty I am. Sorry about that. Poor you.

Ugh. Asshole.

Oh, and here's Keith Olbermann's awarding the guy with "Worst Person in the World" award:

Have you heard

About Raymond and Meta Poeteray, the Dutch couple who adopted a Korean baby girl eight years ago and having given it a college try have decided that Jade Poeteray is simply too difficult and have given her up in Hong Kong? Because Hong Kong and Korea are both in Asia, right (Time)? The hell is wrong with people?

Have you ever wondered

Why some people have such a difficult time with something as simple as an apology? I mean, seriously. It's three words, four syllables. I. Am. Sorry. And some people just can't get it out.

From Sweet Jesus I Hate Chris Matthews:




It's that whole, I'm so sorry that you all don't understand how deeply I care about stuff. Stuff that you all can't even begin to understand because you just care about words! Why, would I be so shallow as that? Bah.

I have never understood

Racism or sexism or all that junk. The mess with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is just appalling. Up until now, I, perhaps naively, have thought it rather nice that whatever else, race and sex weren't really being brought into the fray. Well, unless you're Tweety (I have no idea why Chris Matthews is called Tweety,but it seems weirdly fitting). So this latest nonsense? Not pleasing. Supposedly both are taking a step back from ugly rhetoric, but let's be real, shall we? This is politics. And things tend to get dirty. It would just be nice if the two final candidates didn't start off the race looking like they need a long time under a shower before even thinking of getting into a bath.

Turns

For some reason, I am way better at left turns than right turns. I have no idea why, but when I make lefts? Perfect. Right turns? Not so much. I always seem to calculate the turn wrong somehow and while I have never hit anything, I always feel like I turned too soon. It's really kind of disconcerting. You'd think 15 years of driving would have fixed that, but nope.

A new love

Thanks to Jill for the link. I had never realized what a ginormous ass Matthews is, but GG. His assishness is epic. It makes me really glad that my news habit doesn't extend to television.
