My thoughts on Global Politics, The War, and Oil.
So last night I turned to the news networks to find some inspiration for today's blog. (hence the title) Unfortunately none of those subjects were being talked about.
CNN was covering the Jackson case which I believe we are in year three of our 24 hour coverage at this point I am pretty sure it has turned into a reality show at this point. Funny I don't remember Fox promoting any new awesomely bad series recently. Speaking of Fox
Fox News was in hour 19 of Peterson fest O5.
MSNBC was letting Ann Coulter intelligently yet snoreously go on and on about the supreme court appointments. I understand that "attractive" sells but could we start with someone who doesn't have "snob" all over their nose, I mean face.
Local News was still babbling about American Idol. (because that's real news)
The only place I found actual credible news was the weather channel. Unfortunately I already have a window and the weather hasn't changed since March.
Even Comedy Central makes an attempt to keep up with current events with its prize Daily Show. While the mockumentary style program has its humorous moments it's left wing stance tends to give me an ulcer after a while. Although I did enjoy one segment in which they picked on the major news networks for taking time to report on blogs that report news. There is nothing like turning to MSNBC for an update and watching a 10 min screen shot of the .com's bloggerman's screenshot. Brilliant.
I am sad to say not even my friend Drudge is safe from Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul.
So where do we turn to for real news? The History Channel. I figure, I may be 50 years behind the times, but at least my facts will be straight, and they only time Jackson's name will come up is when their doing a Tribute To Motown special.

This just in I had all but wrapped this post up, when in mid spell check, the 700 club came on with a timely and relevant story. Did you know one of the original Charley's Angels is now a Christian. I can rest easy tonight. Thanks Pat, my check's in the mail.

hard to day... you should call Josh to find out when you know what time you're looking at. I guess you're back in town!
When cell phones actually allow people to talk without a crackling interuption every half second, we should try to use them again.
And news on my homefront? 440 waivers have been signed so people don't have to drag their trash to the curb. There's some amazing coverage at the shelbystar.com
