I was watching CNN's little streaming line-o-crap that goes along with just about every broadcast, and I had the sound turned down because the show was one of those call-in talk type shows, and I need to be in a mood where I can endure the weight of my own rage in addition to being able to deal with my day to day responsibilities. Today I knew better than to listen, but was watching just for the line-o-crap.
So a quote gets plastered on the top screen that managed to raise my quills anyway. I can't remember it word for word so I won't bother, but the jist of it is that there are still some dumb fucks out there who saw that AWFUL and OBVIOUS Photo Shop picture of Kerry supposedly standing behind Jane Fonda during some rally A MILLION YEARS AGO that was debunked a while ago, days if not weeks ago, and they STILL think it's real...
I always feel like I live in a box because I watch a lot of TV that is not news and I even have been known to turn the other way or run screaming from the room if I just can't deal with issues outside my own little universe that day, but PLEASE!!!!!!!!
If we Americans are going to persist in being stupid, the least we could do is CHECK OUR FUCKING FACTS every once in a while before making asses of ourselves on national TV.
*sigh*
That is all...
