Now We're Talking

I have never had an desire to hunt and frankly I find the whole thing a bit absurd. Whenever I have the desire to chase something around the woods (or sit in a tree all day waiting) I just go to the grocery store and buy a steak.

"But Jackson you dont understand, its the sport that makes it great and Venison is delicious"

I dont doubt that Venison is great but give me a break with the sport argument. How sporting is it to sit in a tree in an orange vest and wait for a deer to wander under said tree? How is that sporting at all? Maybe we could change football so that each team just waits on one side of the stadium hoping that the end zone finds its way to them. Or how fun would basketball be if both teams sat on their benches waiting for the basket to wander by? I may never get my head around the obsession with hunting but I can, and will forever, laugh at stories like this one http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28005680/

I think the guy got what he deserved. But hey thats me some dumb guy who doesnt like sitting in the woods waiting to kill stuff!

MSNBC....The New Fox News?

So based upon this picture Keith Olbermann and MSNBC are clearly trying to keep a secret from their viewers. Whats that secret you wonder? Well MSNBC is just waiting for Obama to be inaugurated so they can take Fox News's spot as the President's propaganda machine. Here's a link to the Daily Show exposing this nasty secret http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20081202_daily_show_is_msnbc_the_new_fox_news/?ln

Now please don't misunderstand me, I voted for Obama (lets hear it all you BYU conservatives who think I'm dumb) but I think all journalistic outlets should be fair and balanced (wait isn't that Fox News's slogan? Kind of Ironic) and since its inception Fox News has done nothing but cling to the right and belittle anything negative aimed at the President. They, for lack of a better description, have been W's own little cheerleader. However, that same sick feeling I get when someone changes the channel to Fox News, which is usually accompanied by some remark about the "liberal media", I am starting to get anytime I watch MSNBC. I think Obama will do a fine job as President but MSNBC treats him like his Monument is soon to be up next to Washington's, Jefferson's and Lincoln's. Give the guy a chance to be sworn in and then please be better then the hacks at Fox News and treat his presidency objectively.

Quick note about my love for the Daily Show. Some of you probably consider the Daily Show a liberal news outlet and I couldn't disagree more. They have demonstrated time and time again that if you (Republican and Democrat alike) do something stupid they are gonna call you on it and then probably invite you onto the show. The Daily Show is great and hilarious and I hope everyone takes a minute to check it out.
