Seems I'm not the only one who realizes

that FOX is a 'news' agency unto itself, and the sheep who watch/believe the spin-version of each days events are the recipients of a slick, slanted rightwing version of each day's events.

One Nation, Under Fox: 18 Hours With a Network That Shapes America

'18 Hours With FOX', is an attempt to watch FOXNews from 6 AM until midnight, and compare the differences in FOXNews vs Network News, or 'real' news.
Most of the article is kinda dry and boring, BUT, it's easy to see the YUUUGE difference in what FOX ignores and what is emphasized, while working toward their never-changing mission.
Republicans Good---Democrats Bad
In subtle, and not so subtle ways, the network presents a united front, with few exceptions. Shep Smith may be in danger of losing his job OR he's just the token 'sane person'.
I can't imagine subjecting my brain to 18 hours of Bullshit Mountain propaganda, but this author did, and it speaks volumes, when it comes to explaining how the rightwingnuts think and vote.
In the future, as I try to figure 'How could ANYONE believe/think like that?', I just have to remember that they made a conscious decision to get their 'news' from FOX, and that explains about everything...
Again, congratulations to Repub Strategist Roger Ailes, who, along with Rupert Murdoch's money, successfully pulled off the biggest political coup of all time. He convinced the low-info, easily led sheep that FOX is REAL news. A tip o' the hat, Roger...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
