FOX News - i could not live without it...

Last night they started reporting the (ahem...) FACT that since Barack fluffed his lines in the swearing in bit of the shenanigans the other day he was not officially the President. They were trying to run with it and say that it may in fact need a new election as the country was rudderless...
And now today, with the news that Barack and the Chief Justice repeated the swearing in later in the privacy of some ballroom toilet (i made that location up, but hey, if they can...) just in case any right wing nutters thought about challenging the validity of the Presidency.
So what do FOX News now run with? "On Day 2 of the Obama Presidency - how the White House has become a secret office not inviting the press to key events..."
Has BECOME???? Seriously folks, you need to keep watching FOX News, cos when Obama does good things they will be spinning it in their usual brilliant way.
Feeding the Poor? Lets bring back tax cuts for the rich.
Just out of curiosity - is there common law in the US. Surely if 2 million people stand in the snow watching something, 100s of millions around the world watch it on TV, everyone reads about it, everyone knows... surely getting two lines of the oath wrong makes no difference at all? Everyone knows he is the Pres?
Surely?
Watch this space for news of FOX v Obama in the Supreme Court.

musings

Tis a dark and stormy day... the view from the office window is alternating between the darkest day and shards of sunlight breaking through...

Its about time i caught up, realise i havent ranted for a while!

Firstly, i caught 10 minutes of Fox News this morning, and that is enough to drive anyone to blog. Joe the Plumber. Ah, Joe the Plumber...

One right wing ranting host (cant remember if it was Brad or Shep or Tipp...) and 3 panellists. The question - "Why is everyone talking about Joe The Plumber?"

3 answers - all the same - "Because the left wing liberal media are obsessed with him." One of them almost said that John McCain had mentioned him 20 times in the last debate, and they were shouted down and i think may even have had their mike turned off. It was being denied - almost unhappened... No, it was the Liberal Media obsession, especially the East Coast media...

And Fair and Balanced Fox - sorry how on earth are they not shut down by the Federal Commission for blatant lying - would be like me telling everyone i meet i have never tried cake... -just kept going - East Coast Liberal Media.... So when did being Liberal, or from the East Coast, or even just a bit left leaning become such a crime? Why is it so bad to care about your fellow man. The Republicans think you should encourage everyone to make their own fortune, and anyone who cant should just be left by the wayside. Some of us think we should help the poor, the tired, the lets be frank, huddled masses, so if that makes us Liberal or Lefty then so be it. Its not Communism, so stop being so scared Right Wing America!

Ok, on another note, we are having the kitchen and both bathrooms ripped out this week, and its a real pain in the ass... We have one guy in the bathroom, quietly banging away and you can see things changing... The other is in the kitchen, and succeeded in ripping out every cupboard in a few hours. Since then his only visible contribution has been cutting through wires 3 times and tripping the power. Nothing seems to have changed. And what a miserable old sod! A pleasure to share my house, now stop whining and get the kitchen made!

Puppies... Algy has now been here best part of a month. Its about time we put a picture of him up here...
