Show us your.....uhh... dedication

Shepherd Smith, Campbell Brown, Aaron Brown and especially Anderson Cooper were all wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, but epic proportions wrong. Not just about the events in the Superdome, which they got wrong by reporting rumors as fact. Not just what race had the most deaths, as it turns out white and black people died in equal proportion to their percentage of the population. But their biggest error, and that's saying something, was the TOXIC SOUP! I'm sure you remember the dire predictions... New Orleans uninhabitable for at least 10 years! Cleanup will take years! and so on. Somebody forgot to tell that to all those people who are currently parading their butts off down in the big easy. Main stream media, foiled again.

McStremists

Would somebody please tell me what the clown did to arouse such violence from Muslim extremists? What could that beloved, red haired dispenser of hamburgers possibly have done?








Oh sure, you can go with the old tried and true... the clown is a symbol of western capitalism and decadence. I think it goes a little deeper... they're jealous. The clown is successful, they are not. The clown builds, they destroy. It's a crude illustration I know, but it seems obvious to me that the extremists cannot stand success so they try to kill it. Not defeat it in a fair competition, kill it. This encourages me because in the long run, this method never works.

Stoner Olympics

What has become of the Olympics? After watching the snowboarders, I am astounded that this has become an official Olympic event. It's sort of the stoner and valley girl event of the games. If you think I'm exaggerating, just listen to a couple of interviews. Even the Olympics, an event that used to have a sort of epic quality to it, has been dumbed down with clumsy juvenile sports that lower the bar of international competition. The current crop of snowboarders, to a person, act as if they are all on the chronic. This sport should be removed from the Olympics before it does any more damage to the dignity of the games. It needs to be back on ESPN 2 or whatever the most obscure sports channel is, and removed from legitimate sports venues permanently.

Jedi scootertrash

I've found the perfect motorcyle for Jedi Master Rob. Can't you just see him? Light saber by his side, cloak trailing in the wind, snapping through the tight turns of our wonderful Kentucky country roads. Taking a day or 2 day trip with someone who say, has a green Ninja 600 R who lives nearby. To, maybe somewhere like the Tail of the Dragon where a person could, after the break in period, air out a new bike. Or just ride around on the twisties in his own backyard. The 650 R is the next generation 500 R. Up to date styling, but more importantly, completely new engine, much better brakes and centralized mass for spectacular handling. This is your bike Jedi Master Rob! Let's take some rides together.

Responsibility

Images of Prophets are prohibited in the Islamic religion. It is a very great insult indeed, to do so. Movies or television programs made about Muhammad contain no images of him whatsoever. They use footprints, a cloak draped over an invisible figure and other devices to indicate his presence. This prohibition includes images of Jesus Christ. The depiction of the prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb is a double insult. First the image, then the unflattering message. I support the right of all newspapers to publish anything they deem fit. However, this slavish devotion to freedom of the press with no look towards it's responsibilities is a bad combination. The European Press' continued publishing of the image of Muhammad shows how callous they have become to all religions. The fact that they know it's an insult and do it anyway, shows how self absorbed they are. I see no great threat to the freedom of the press by showing respect for a religion by not publishing something. I thoroughly condemn those who think that the way to protest against these publications is to kill and commit arson. I also think that it is fine to be critical of Muslims if deserved, even if it means the reaction you see in the picture. The press should expose wrongs and write editorials condemning bad behavior, but it should be done in a responsible and mature way. This applies to all religions. What they are now doing seems a bit childish and petulant to me. Nah nah nah nah nah, we can publish pictures of the prophet, and you can't stop us! Even though they know they should. They regularly show contempt for Christians, which is also wrong. Suggesting Christians are homophobic (don't get me started on that word) and seek to subjugate women. These themes are all too common in the very liberal Europeon press. Too clarify my position, it is equally irresponsible to intentionally insult Christians as it is Muslims. But you know the left wing press, all about the freedom.... nothing about the responsibility.
