It’s here—free—for the taking, how about using it?

I absolutely love the Internet.

I sometimes sit paralyzed in front of the computer—paralyzed with indecision over what topic to look into. The news is a common area of interest, but there are long lost hobbies like model airplanes, and long lost family members to be researched—thus my dilemma.

Some of the stuff you find on the internet is total crap. If your thing is naked body parts or cheep drugs causing 4 hour erections, there is a web site for you out there somewhere that can satisfy your needs—for only $19.95. I would rather spend my time in more productive (and less reproductive) areas of investigation.

When I read a news story, I almost always do multiple Google searches on key words in order to fact check the article and determine the viewpoint of the author. For this same reason I also include links in my writing that I hope you will follow in order to verify the accuracy of my position.

The sad thing is that most news reporters are either stupid or so intellectually dishonest that all they ever accomplish is the spouting of partisan crap rather than actually covering world events and presenting the story in a fair, neutral basis.

We currently live in the greatest country in the world that ever existed, but if you listen to the domestic and international media we are simply a country half-full of total idiots and ego maniacs that prefer to live our selfish lives in luxury while ignoring the suffering and mayhem afflicting all of our less fortunate international neighbors.

The beauty of the internet is that it allows you to cut through the media static and instantly obtain additional information that is intentionally omitted from the news. Hear that the United Nations needs more money? Find out that the US already pays 22% of the total operating budget each year for the UN. Hear that John Bolton is stuck in limbo in a vote on the Senate floor? Find out that he is well qualified and the Democrats continue to be the party of NO—NO Social Security reform, No Judges, No John Bolton, and generally NO to anything that president Bush wants to accomplish.

I’ve previously commented on “Turban” Durban’s Senate floor bashing of US treatment of prisoners at Gitmo. Take a look at the play that his comments have gotten on the al Jazeera network’s website. The story has been #1 for a week now.

“Turban” Durban is sticking by his words, and as a result he is proving that he is a complete %$#*& idiot.

All you voters in Illinois should be totally embarrassed
