Woah!

OK, just a quick one today. I have three points for you.

POINT 1: Go see SiCKO. Now! Log off from this computer, get in the car, and see Michael Moore’s new film. The topic, as most of you already know, is the American healthcare industry and the complete cluster ***k that it has become. By the way, It turns out that I was partially right a few months ago when I said on this very blog that the blame for American medicine can be placed on Nixon. Mr. Moore’s film includes some old audio recordings from Nixon’s Oval Office that are . . . fascinating.

So go see it. Now. I’ll wait.

2 hours of depressing realizations later…

Wow. That is nasty and yet so right at the same time. My British friend sees me in a whole new light now that he has some idea how American’s live. All my foreign friends pity me and my people.

POINT 2: Dick Cheney is either an incredibly stupid man or he has so little respect for the American people that it’s laughable. I’d believe either. It was recently reported by Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” and with both sources double checked by me personally, that Dick Cheney has had images of his residence (The US Naval Observatory) pixilated out on the Google Earth satellite mapping program. Please note that both the White House and the Capitol Building remain clearly visible. The stupid thing is that directions to the Naval Observatory are still accessible ON MAP QUEST! I wish I was smart enough to make this stuff up. Incidentally, “The Daily Show” aired this information as part of their new series: You Don’t Know Dick.

POINT 3: The conservatives have now made an attempt to actually rewrite reality to suit their whims. Citing extreme liberal bias on the part of the public online edited encyclopedia Wikipedia, a new conservative site entitled Conservapedia has launched at http://www.conservapedia.com/ and it is scary. Front page articles at the time of this writing include the evils of Rosie O’ Donnell and how the British are planning to create human-animal hybrids. This encyclopedia also lists the year 4004 B. C. as the most likely point of the creation of the universe. Another definition from “The Trustworthy Encyclopedia” is this: Homosexuality is an immoral sexual lifestyle between members of the same sex. It is more than simply a sexual act, it is going beyond the boundaries that God has setup for marriage; one man and one woman.

By the way, I found this response to the liberal evils of Wikipedia by clicking on a link found . . . on Wikipedia!

I’ll leave you with that.
