The Civil War

Let's talk for a little bit about some important things:

1) How sweet is the American Civil War? I'm not talking about the killing and dying and blood and all of that, but I'm talking about the Ken Burns' Civil War series which spawned one of the greatest soundtracks to a documentary ever!! If you're a history buff, or if you need to get your Civil War-crazed spouse/friend an awesome gift, go out and get the set. It's probably a decade old now but nonetheless an awesome series.

2) How ridiculous is the Thornton/Boccardi report on CBS? It's so stupid on so many levels. What? You want to talk about them? Ok great!
A) Thornton (way to betray PA you buckethead)/Boccardi are contracted to audit CBS's political ties not by an outside agency, but by CBS. CBS internally recruiting to scrutinize their organization? Sounds shady to me. Looks shady to me. You know what they say, if it looks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a spade.
B) The obvious blind eye turned to 'expert testimony' is unscrupulous. Yeah, I just said unscrupulous in a sentence. To hire not one, but TWO typewriter experts, ask them for their professional opinion of whether the documents are forged and then kindly dismiss their testimony as 'lacking exploration of all possible alternatives to the origination of the documents' is absolutely absord. Clearly the documents are forged and should not have been used.
C). CBS is unbiased politically? Come one people. We Americans are not idiots. Let's set the scene. Less than two months before a pivotal American election, a news anchor (and reputed Democratic fundraiser) forces a story based on forged documents through the CBS machine (oh wait, they worked on it for 5 years that's right...), gets caught redhanded in 'journalistic malfeascance' and then wants us to believe that there were no political motives behind the story? Get freaking real and die.
D) The only thing good about CBS is Dave Letterman

3) I think Keith has lost his marbles for not liking to get his hair cut. It's so relaxing and comforting. I'm getting all sleepy just thinking about it.

4) Last night it was 62 degrees at 11:30pm and I drove home from work with my windows down. Top down, chrome spinnin'!
