Today I fired up the ol smoker and smoked a chicken and a sausage loaf as a dry (or moist) run for Thanksgiving...I must say, whoever has me over for their turkey-day meal is lucky. That giblet gravy sure topped off the meat n potatoes...
But on to the rant against Fox News. I don't understand how they are legally allowed to call themselves "news". There is no other media outlet that is so biased and false -- and I don't understand how people are so delusional that they actually think it's anything but comedy. I don't want this to be a political blog, but take the following for example: recently Fox News got all excited about how the president's visit to India will cost $200 million a day with the dozens of planes and thousands in his entourage. Except that then the real news outlets showed that the ENTIRE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN costs less than $200 million a day. I get so riled up at how these people are allowed to make up fake facts and spew them to the ignorant. This is why people hate our country. This is why we're falling behind in the world. It's because we're not working to get better--we're promoting a circle-jerk of ignorance. Then a few minutes after I get riled up, I forget about it and move on to something else because the tidal wave of ignorance is way to powerful to try to stop. You guys knew I was looking forward to Armageddon, right?
