Now I'm Steamed!
How could WWOR (New York's UPN station) replace two episodes of "That 70's Show" with Ryan Seacrest? I'm distraught! That was a high point of my day. Ever since it went into syndication, it's moved around all over the schedule, from Fox to UPN and back again. It's just too much for one Danny Masterson fan to take! Plus, Ryan Seacrest? What a dink. I'm off to grumble while grudgingly watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Grr.

Ad-ult Subject Matter
I got a little turned off by MoveOn.org and their hysterical e-mails, but I really like this political ad contest they're sponsoring, called Bush in 30 Seconds.
I feel beat down by the government. I feel like nothing I do or say will matter, and that the rest of the country is ok with the Patriot Act and the rest because they're afraid of terrorism. I'd like to see the media show some of its famous leftist leanings and air the truth before it gets too late.
What do I mean? During the holidays, the US went into Orange Alert. Flights were delayed for hours, and just about everyone gets patted down at the security checkpoint. When the local or national news airs a story about this, all we hear from are travelers who aren't a bit put out. They're happy that security is so tight. I just can't believe that no reporter has found a single disgruntled air traveler for an opposing viewpoint. It's so biased! Like a commercial for the Bush Administration and Homeland Security. They sure didn't interview me, or I would have told them exactly what I thought about being super-searched after not setting off the alarm. The hell?
Now they want to fingerprint and photograph all foreigners without Visas coming into certain airports. Wait, not all! A couple dozen European countries are exempt. I guess it's because mostly white people live in those countries. I certainly would boycott all travel to the US if I were the leader of a targeted nation, or react like Brazil, and require the same of American visitors. Nobody is fingerprinting me unless I'm booked for a crime. Again, the news shows naturalized Americans saying, "It's good. It protects us." Make me vomit. They really can't find anyone who will say what they really think on air? I'll bet they can, they just want to keep the public docile about these radical changes.
I'm not happy about this.
