Tonight I went out to the local pizza shop for dinner. When I got home I decided to watch a new show tonight called “NewsNight with Jim Braude” on NECN and yes there was no space between the News and Night. Also despite having the word news in the name there was no actual news. The topic I saw was about books and it featured news that was 2-3 days old. Sad how news is being flushed for entertainment isn’t it? After that I sat down with the laptop and watched Hardball while I did my homework. I didn’t really listen but it seemed to be about how youtube can affect politics. Which if you think about it is really just an extension of the blog-o-shere.
After simpsons was done I began to watch one of my favorite shows “Countdown” on MSNBC the first story was about the president of Pakistan who claimed that the U.S. threatened to bomb them if they did not follow them in going after Osama bin Laden. The claim was that Armitage was the one who said that they would be bombed. I thoughts on that are very simple. Its sad it’s very sad that ether Pakistan is framing the US or that Armitage said that “they would bomb them back to the stone age”. It’s terrible that we would consider that just because a person didn’t want to help us find a person that killed people that they deserve to be bombed. It is true that Osama bin Laden is a terrible terrible man but just because a country doesn’t want to help us doesn’t men they are evil. It seems as though we have started to over reach our influence if we think we can do this kind of thing.
After that Keith Obermann moved on to the torture rules. Which are also bad. As Jonathan Turley a professor of constitutional law said word for word that the laws for torture were very lenient. Well if these are actually really bad people then it may be ok. But we really don’t know. Unless were going to tell people what this is about I say stop.
That seems like enough real news… so I flipped to the Colbert report! Definitely one of the funniest shows ever! It was about Harvard and how the wealthy kids have a better chance of getting in. Colbert’s question was “why do we want the poor kids getting in? “ but the guest wasn’t so good so the joke fell flat.
This seems good for today (
Rants and
RavesNewsNight is really uninforming informingThere are to many bad things in the worldThe Simpsons is often very funny although not very knowledgeableThe Colbert report is one of the best shows ever if you have not seen it before it’s on at 8:30 eastern on comedy central.
