Pining for the Fjords
A long squawk
Since LJ won't let me read, I'm catching up on the news

The bad has gotten worse, certainly. But it seems like the bizarre has gotten weirder too.

Help, I've been robbed by an Ent! (And I've just linked to the Manchester Union Leader about something that didn't make me froth at the mouth! But what, what, is the significance of the coffee in the link to the update on the story? Did that demon caffeine make him do it?)

Pink Pistol-Packing Lesbian Gangs taking over America! AKA, Bill O'Reilly's latest wet dream. Why do they let him have a TV show to air his bizarre fantasies?

Never ask Mitt Romney to watch your dog.

On the other hand, I love Elizabeth Edwards more all the time. I thought she was a class act even before this and this.

This doesn't look good for net neutrality. I hope I'm being alarmist in thinking that this will hit political bloggers hard and may be more of a threat to fandom sites than FanLib ever will be.

Time to call my elected representatives again. I've always been one of those annoying people who calls and writes with her complaints, but this is the first administration to inspire me to keep the phone numbers of my representative, my senators, the Speaker of the House, and the White House comment line on speed dial.

Huge thanks to you and Mr. O'Reilly for alerting me to this dire threat.

The clip from the show was mind-boggling. If I didn't know who O'Reilly was, I would have thought it was a pretty funny parody of ... something.

The lesbian gangs thing made me laugh - even though it's not really funny if people actually believe this crap - but then it is obviously such crap I couldn't help laughing anyway.

Also, very nice to see you.

I don't think O'Reilly will get very far with his latest paranoid fantasy--probably only as far as his bunk. The few people who would believe this one are as far gone as he is.

The stupid - it hurts my brain....

As to the first, I love stupid defendants. We see so many of them in our office, and we've laughed and laughed. As to the second...I hate Bill O'Reilly. I have a hard time saying that, because I believe strongly in having at least some sort of love and respect for all, but I've got none for him. Elizabeth Edwards, however, rocks my socks.

I used to feel a twinge of guilt when Keith Olbermann made fun of O'Reilly and I laughed. That stopped the day he implied an 11-year-old might be complicit in his own kidnapping. He needs to be mocked all the way off the air.

Oh, my roommate heard about that one for days, I was so angry.

You know, I love my little brother, but I was highly disappointed in him when I saw he got one of O'Reilly's books for Christmas...and was pleased with it.

BTW, it's great to see you back. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. :)

Aw, I was missed? Nothing worse than the busy season at work and a vacation trip to mom's happened.

And, yes, I have relatives that make me groan like that too. Not to mention my dearly loved next-door neighbors.
