| Jon Stewart is my secret boyfriend |
| 10.20.04 (1:00 pm) |
I love him. LOVE HIM. Jon Stewart is my ideal man. I almost can't stand how sexy he is...
Right.
I am delighted, tickled, brightened, elated, giddy and joyful due to Boyfriend Jon's smackdown of the insufferable Tucker Carlson.
The best, best, BEST part of this whole melee is simply that Tucker and Paul and the rest of these (so aptly described) hacks don't seem to even realize that they have decamped from journalism to extreme inane-ity (yes, I'm making up words). The sad, sad fact is that The Daily Show has become the only political analysis show on television that actually ANALYZES POLITICS.
Tucker and co. are the real pandering buttboys.
Jon--I love you. You complete my world. Life before Jon Stewart was empty and vapid.
The real "fake journalism" dances across tv screens every night masquerading as serious commentary or discussion. It's not debate. It's not considered position vs. considered position. It IS just like pro-wrestling. Lots of posturing and shouting. Lots of strutting and preening.
And here's the kicker--the real pro-wrestlers are smarter, more self-aware, more realistic, more pragmatic, and in the end MORE HONEST than these fucked up wonks and politicos and empty-headed assbags.
It's utterly horrifying that the fucked-up wonks, politicos and empty-headed assbags have somehow convinced CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. that we citizens of this country are so fucking stupid that we cannot understand or analyze or interpret the undending stream of bs from our candidates.
Rather, we must be TOLD (by both sides, so it's fair--it's like a debate, see?) what the bs is, and how these stupid, ridiculous issues (the lump on Bush's back, Kerry's reference to Mary Cheney, Bush's complete fabrication of Kerry's Senate voting record, Kerry's faltering "I voted for/against" explanations) are WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
AND PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS CRAP. WE FALL FOR IT EVERY FUCKING DAY.
We ARE stupid. We ARE and adolescent country with uncontrollable impulses. We DO have a collective 7th grade mindset. Stupid. We'd rather wallow in gossip and innuendo and trash than face up to any truth.
Want some truth?
You don't, I know. But here it is.
1. There's no such thing as a free lunch. You're GOING TO PAY FOR IT EVENTUALLY. If you get some free Twinkies or other crap food, it'll clog your arteries and make you fat. If your work provides lunch, you're not going to get a raise because they're paying for lunch.
2 If you make a mess and you don't clean it up, it gets worse. If you leave dishes in the sink, they mold and stink. If you don't scoop the cat box, it stinks and the cat poos on the floor and pees on your clothes.
3. Pretending that something is or isn't happening is NOT SPIN. IT'S LYING. LYING, LYING, LYING. Your mom used to wash out your mouth with soap, ground you, take away your toys or otherwise punish you for it. Now, we people who were punished and who punish our children for lying, not only tolerate it from politicians and the Tucker Carlson strain of human bacteria, we encourage it. Because someone is always rewarded--Bush, Newt, Neo-cons, cable networks, etc. WE LIKE LIARS, PEOPLE and THAT IS THE TRUTH.
Someday, no matter who walks away with the title on Nov. 2 (or 3rd...or sometime in February, god forbid), we will all pay for the past 4 years of pretending and avoiding and lying and ignoring. We WILL pay. Not the liars, mind you, because they will lie their way out. We will pay. Only a matter of time.
So, I'll keep sending all my hugs and kisses to Jon Stewart and continue making plans to be buried far, far away from these United States of America.

I bet Jesse Ventura could win a debate win Fucker Carlson. Then he could celebrate by body slamming him right there on the stage.
