Why God Why...

It appears that I am the only one who truly appreciates the film, Mystery Men. Look, dont get me wrong, the film is horrible; even I can only watch the first half. Still, that first half is so goddamn funny.

Am I really all alone out here on this one??

How is Blagojevich allowed to live? If I lived in Illinois I would be so motherfuckin pissed off. This guy, who is in the middle of being impeached, is going on the View and Good Morning America and Larry King Live and has the gall to say that "after his arrest (he) drew inspiration from MLK, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela." What a giant douchebag.

First, I cannot believe that he is trying to spin this. What in the hell is he thinking? He is completely hosed and he is using whatever little spotlight he can to try and make a buck or get a new job out of it. It is disgusting to watch.

Second, what dumb ass producer is booking this worthless bag of shit on their show? I would feel disgusted if I helped this guy get any more face time. Saying things like he "considered approaching Winfrey for an open U.S. Senate seat..." I mean, that is stupid on so many levels I dont even know where to begin.

Lastly, I attended a panel discussion on the American Indian Genocide. It was pretty much what you expected with some interesting facts like, by 2050 only 20 of the 500 Native American languages will still be spoken.

Also, only 50% of Native American students graduate high school and of those, only 17% continue on to college.

Things got very exciting at the end when a Palestinian woman stood up and talked about how the Israelis have been slaughtering Palestinians for 22 days now and long before that. That when they defend their land they are called terrorists. Did I mention this talk was sponsored by the Mizel Museum...museum the of Judaica? Good times.

Then a gentlemen stood up to say that we need to acknowledge the ugly truth...and then pointed out that the genocide of the Mayan Indians in Guatemala was partially funded by the United States. It was pretty exciting all around.
