A Slow Descent

On the Factor the other night, O’Reilly said something interesting: he said that most Americans don’t care about the California recall election, and those that do only care because Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the race.  He said that most of us believe that they’re a bunch of crazies out there, and they’re just getting what they deserve.

Now, I know that *I* was thinking that, but I was sorta surprised to hear him say it.  He’s right though.  When you let the American Communist Lawyers Union (that’s ACLU to most people) run your state, well, you bring it on yourself.

Then on the news, I heard that "thousands of telemarketers stand to be laid off" because of the national do-not-call list.  Good.  I am GLAD these people could lose their "jobs."  What a freaking joke.  Maybe now they’ll learn to make an honest living by doing something useful for the world.  Calling people and harassing them is not a valid way to make a living.  Ugh.  Scum.  I feel sick just thinking about how base that is.

In better news, I bought "Who’s Looking Out For You?" today at Wegmans.  Should be an interesting book.  I’m sure I’ll learn a thing or two from it, and at the very least, I’m sure it’ll be really funny, because that’s just how O’Reilly is.

And and, I did something highly unusual last weekend.  I watched a show.  On TV.  Intentionally.  Now, the only thing I’ve watched on TV during the past 5 or 6 years is The O’Reilly Factor.  But on Sunday, my mom called me to say that O’Reilly was being interviewed on another show, so I watched that... and after that show, a drama called American Dreams was on.  And it was really good.  Probably because it’s set a few decades in the past (1960s, I think?), and it’s not full of slapstick and/or sex-based "comedy" like every modern TV show.  Oh, and it’s set in Philadelphia -- hometown (-ish) represent.  So, I think I’ll be watching this show every Sunday night.

Finally, I put a new song of the...... moment online.  It’s "A Slow Descent" by Straylight Run.  This song has definitely been my new favorite song of the moment for the past few weeks.  So go listen.
