The Stupidest Show on Television

Gosh. That's a tough one. It's hard to say. First of all, there's "Hole in the Wall" on Fox, which is hosted by the weatherman from Fox's L.A. station. People dress in silver lamé body suits and attempt to pass through holes in a moving wall. Almost as thrilling as "Deal or No Deal," where people pick numbers on attache cases that are then opened revealing another number which is more interesting since it's dollars.

Then there's "The Real McCains." It started out ludicrous, then it got tasteless, now it's just sad to watch. Worse, nearly half those viewing don't see the shameless farce unfolding in front of their faces, but think it's compelling drama. Let's cross our fingers and hope this one gets canceled in early November. Here's a shot from the show that kind of looks like "THX 1138," don't you think?

We're all waiting around for "The Wall Street Bailout" to run its course. That one's kind of like "Deal or No Deal," except they're playing with our money. It was supposed to be over in a week, but got picked up for another week because its numbers were so compelling.

Those from California who read this tome have probably run across the Yes on Prop 8 ad that's been running recently. And running. And running. And running. It has Gavin Newsom being his usual obnoxious self, and then intimates that, if the proposition does not pass, queers are gonna sue you for believing they're inferior; your churches will be taken over by queers, queers will control everything and children will be taught that queer marriage is just as good as real marriage. Queers. Queers queers queers. STRIKE BACK!

Why are they so threatened?

And the amazing thing is these people don't think their attitudes are bigoted, or they are working HARD to make others second-class citizens. They are totally convinced they are doing the right thing; what God wants. What would Jesus do? (He'd kick ass on these queers, that's what he'd do!) How do you try to alter that kind of mindset? I think it's probably much easier to just wait for them to die. As far as this picture goes, I found it online, I'm not sure where it's from, but I wanted to let everyone know that there are some Republicans who know how to treat a female impersonator.

You may recall that my brother Stephen [May 2, 2008] said this blog needed more meaningful content rather than simply being a diary style of writing. Perhaps it's because my daily life is so boring, or perhaps because we are living in really exciting times right now, but I note that the entries have become biting and opinionated over the last few months. Whaddayathink? It certainly is more fun to write.
