Too Much Liberal Media!
Sep. 17th, 2008 10:53 amLast night, while I was making dinner, I put on Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World schtick. I have to say that the last two were very lame; first, he toshes at Rupert Murdoch for what sounded an awful lot like personal reasons, and then he went after Sarah Palin for owning a tanning bed to "fight Seasonal Affective Disorder" and wondering if she'd ever been diagnosed or treated for it, an unreflective and sleazy line without supporting evidence. (I will say that owning a tanning bed is as "all-American" as owning a Utilikilt. A Utilikilt is the official uniform of aging Generation X geeks and nerds; a tanning bed is apparently an official accoutrement of Alaskan white trash. We're a country of idiosyncracies.)
But I paused it after the Murdoch episode to go attend to dinner, and the girls both walked in, looked at my laptop and, at the same time and in the correct cadence, suddenly shouted out, "The Worst Person in the World!" And then Kouryou-chan said, "Oh, he's always on there."
"Which one?"
"The one on the right. With the big head. He's always on there."
That would be Bill O'Reilly, of course.

Because they, or ones like them, will, gods willing, end up running the joint if we survive that long. either that or getting smart and getting the frack off this rock... and I for one am goin' with'em if they do.
