Talk Radio VS Main Stream Media


AKA Shit I WOULDN'T know if I weren't a dork that listened to talk radio.

The main stream media has taken apart Barack Obamas Life. We have heard about his early childhood education in a madrassa
, his childhood in general, previous experimentation with drugs and alcohol, past business alliances, and even his wife's educational background, specifically her thesis. In fact, Michelle's thesis dominated the headlines for several days- prompting Captain Oxycontin Limbaugh to choke on his housekeepers stash while on air in his home studio. I kid. He has yet to choke on his own vomit. Unfortunately.

The main stream media has outright neglected the McCains. I had no idea Cindy McCain was a beer heiress until Stephanie Miller and her mooks made cutting remarks her fortune. I didn't even know the values voters great hope had been married previously. Not only is he a divorcee, but the war hero abandoned his ailing wife for someone 18 years younger than him. Mr. marriage-is-so-sacred-gays-cant-do-it began cohabiting with Cindy long before his first marriage was dissolved, applying for a marriage license before the divorce was granted. John and Cindy McCain were married less than a month after the ink was dry on the marriage dissolution.

While CNN was reeling about the news that Mrs. Obama had made grammatical errors on her masters thesis, no one dared mention Cindy McCains addiction to painkillers. Not only was she a pill popping junkie- SHE WAS STEALING PILLS FROM HER OWN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. I guess republicanism and addiction are par for the course.. how else would they sleep at night? Mr. And Mrs Obama answered questions about how they obtained their family residence from a shady Chicago real estate man while Cindy McCain still refuses to make her tax returns public. Surprisingly- I found a piece on the Wall Street Journal about how Mr. McCain will profit from the acquisition of Anheuser by InBev. Funny I didn't hear about that little tid bit during the extensive coverage of the buy out on MSNBC, the msm is hard pressed to connect the McCains to the wealthy beer producer on any occasion.

Moral of the story- cable news has its place. However, it is imperative to draw on every available resource for information these days. Our media has failed us.

Poultry


I'm not a chick. There is no fowl in my genetic lineage that I am aware of.

In fact, I have nothing in common with a chicken. Chickens are lower animals with very small brains. I am no farmer, but I believe the word chick is a reference to a baby chicken.

Please do not call me a chick. Do not reference any of my female friends or colleagues with the word chick. We are WOMEN, not barnyard infantilized creatures.

Thank you.
