Emergency Evacuation

Yep, I did catch the news and it did put off what I had last night once more.  However, I think considering how many issues Irene is causing in the New Orleans area is worth it.  I just can't believe how stupid people are.  No, this isn't about the idiots that ignored the mandatory evacuation, that was last night.

What's an Evacuation For?

I'm watching the news and can't wait to talk about this one!  I really can't believe that just how stupid these people are!  I had something that I was going to complain about but this just took over as it is really dumb.

How Did He Vote?

I did catch the news tonight but there wasn't much that I found really interesting.  It was very focused on hurricane Irene.  I certainly don't think it is unwarranted since the expected landfall is going to occur within the same area as hurricane Katrina.  And seven years later it is still recovering as well as recovering from the huge oil spill from a couple of years ago.  But what did catch my "fancy" was a political advertisement.

Brilliant Way to Change Them

A heavy storm came through tonight so I didn't get to see the world news but it did come at the end of the local news.  I really got annoyed at some of the changes that they were boasting about regarding our kids.  Just a stupid thing idea if you want my opinion!

The Proposal

I didn't pay much attention to the world news tonight for two reasons.  First, I'm still a little annoyed at the way in which they covered the abortion topic (the subject of last night's rant).  That has just gotten me into a little bit of a funk.  The other reason is the New York State Fair.  How you might ask?  I'll make this a two part just for you tonight.  What I did pay attention to on the world news makes me even more glad that I am married.

The Abortion Non Issue

Caught the news tonight and was very annoyed with the political coverage.  I really can't believe this was the topic of a 10 minute story considering what a non story it turned out to be!  That's 10 minutes of my life I will never get back!  The basis of this isn't about my opinion of abortion, rather it is about the way the "story" was overblown.

Just Words

I didn't get to watch the news tonight as my wife has had a visitor to join her in watching a bunch of the Harry Potter movies.  But that certainly isn't to say that I don't have something to complain about.  I got to read a story earlier that really gets under my skin!

It's Freaking Water People!

I got to watch the news tonight for a change.  There were a lot of small things that I would love to complain about but I'm not sure I could really make a decent article out of it.  Take, for example, the stupid congressman making the statement about the ability of a woman's body being able to prevent pregnancy because she was raped.  Stupid?  Extremely.  Worth an entire post?  No.  But this one really annoyed me because of the way in which they stated it as being based on facts.

It's a Courtesy Thing

An early one tonight as there are many reasons I but this time it has to do with not wanting to forget again.  I really wanted to complain about this last night but got side tracked due to the complete idiots that are cleaning the lot next to me.  This is just something that those with little or no knowledge about cars should know.

Again? Give Me a Break!

Not much television tonight as we went out for dinner.  But that certainly isn't to say I don't have something to complain about though.  This is what should be a repeat from the other day but for some reason I apparently forgot.

I Have Kids?

Not much television again tonight, had to cut the grass.  We've had a bunch of rain and it has been wet enough that I wasn't able to cut it in over a week!  But while watching the local news and eating dinner I had a reminder of something that bugs me about a lot of parents.

Expansion of the Dictionary

Great news today, there were new words added to the English dictionary today.  What does this means to the majority of us?  Not much of anything.  What it does mean is that college kids now have a larger array of words in which they can use without getting a lower score.

What's on That?

Had to work on the car so I wasn't able to catch the news.  I have, however, had a chance to watch a little Food Network.  I find it hard to believe that no one can figure out why Americans are so overweight.  Just watch some of the cooking shows and/or food travel shows.  It is very obvious to anyone if you ask me!

Authors Gone Wild

I have a really good one tonight.  This one actually shows how the major publishers are causing authors to take stupid and drastic measures to prevent piracy.

Halloween

I apologize to anyone that didn't like the non-rant post from earlier.  I've been attempting to build stations that are as enjoyable as what I had heard on SiriusXM prior to ending the service.  I believe I have not only done that but, with a lot of help, have actually created better.  But enough of that, back to the ranting.  There are a couple of reasons tonight's rant.  Both of which are completely annoying.

Slacker Radio

Anyone interested in some good streaming music?  If so, there are some new links on the to the right for a page listing the band/artist included.  Please take a listen and feel free to add a comment giving a suggestion or two on missing bands/artists.

No One's There

Had a great evening out with my wife, dinner and a movie at the cheap theater ($1.75 per person) and saw Men in Black 3.  Very good movie!  And that caused me to miss all television viewing tonight.  With such a wonderful night (without the kids for a change) you might think I would have nothing to complain about.  Of course you would be wrong on that one.  I had a couple of examples of stupid people sightings on the way home.

No Wonder They're Greedy

Nothing regarding what I saw on the news tonight as a particular advertisement has been really bothering me.  The events in Wisconsin are very tragic and I feel for the families effected, but I am not going to rant here because even the supremacist groups that he "belonged" to denounced his actions.  Perhaps they are attempting to spread their message peacefully.  Nope, this one has a lot to do with why there is greed among our young folks.

Statistical Stupidity

Hey, ready for a quick bonus rant?  Glad to hear it!  This one is something from the local news regarding another situation of half the story.  They talked about a way in which Syracuse, NY got in a publication.

Warnings

Caught a bit of the news tonight.  One of the stories just really bugged the living you know what out of me.  It has to do with the shooting that happened in Colorado.

I Know Better Because I Work Here

What a long day!  Between work and the fiasco I'm about to talk about I not only missed the news but didn't get home until after the kids went to bed.  I don't think anything on the news could have topped this one anyway.
