I long to care about Silly Bullshit again.
Every once in a while, I hear the faint sound of Silly Bullshit calling my name throught the pines.. "ken... keennnn.." I turn my head towards the voice, but it is gone. Just the wind blowing through the non-existent pines. No Silly Bullshit.
I thought I was close to getting back to the Silly Bullshit today, when I looked at this video by Katrina evacuee Charmain Neville, who is indeed related to Art and Aaron.
After you've taken a look at that, download this Blame Game video (quicktime file). It includes the now-famous "Fuck Yourself, Mister Cheney" clip. But of far greater interest is the ever-eloquent Bill O'Reilly, who equates stranded hurricane victims with drug addicts, and finds the silver lining which we all missed.
But I agree. It is too early for playing The Blame Game. Now is the time for tarring and feathering those responsible, without casting aspersions.
Here is the video (quicktime file) of that genius, Wolf Blitzer, referring to the residents of The Big Easy as "so poor... so black." Who is dumber, Wolf Blitzer or Larry King?
Before the hurricane even hit, this CNN weatherman (windows video file) proved himself to be The King Of The Hissy Fit. And this New Orleans resident (quicktime file) correctly told a Fox reporter to fuck off. But who's laughing now?
Finally, here is the repaired (but still FCC-Unfriendly) version of the Kanye West Goldiggers remix, George Bush Dont Like Black People (MP3). via FWMJ via boingboing
I hope to return tomorrow with more videos, this time of Silly Bullshit.

I was hoping the Fox clip would be the one today where another resident said the F-word live and Fox then cut him off. (A black man with his white girlfriend/wife/whatever, aired Sat afternoon sometime.)
Shouldn't someone complain to the FCC and Fox have to pay a fine? Two fines? It's only fair.
Wish I had taped all the asinine things Tucker Carlson said the other day. (Well no I don't cuz they are too depressing.) And John Gibson was truly offensive a day or two ago with his view that the feds shouldn't be nannys to state and local governments. Infuriating.
I was pleased that Shephard Smith seems to have gotten religion/sympathy for those less fortunate than himself the other day when talking to O'Reilly. Maybe there is hope for him.
