Random Thoughts: Boot to the Head!

SMACK!

OK, again!

SMACK!

All right, they're coming out now...

Can someone tell me if Cavemen is supposed to be funny? I'm not seeing it right now. The Geico commercials were funny, but to expand the idea to a half-hour sitcom? Um, yeah. I could be bitter about George Lopez being canceled, though. Still, it's nice to see Carlos Jacot working.

As of this writing, our beloved president opposes a bill labeling the massacre of Armenians as genocide. His reason: It'll hurt our relationship with Turkey as well as our image. Er, you mean we can make our image worse than it is right now?

Out-of-the-blue observation: Any show that had Caitlin Wachs in its cast has been canceled. Nothing personal against her, but I'm just saying.

OK, to everyone who supports family values, can you explain to me which family you're supporting? Oh right, the traditional family. Forget the other family types. If it isn't "traditional," it isn't a family. Thanks for the clarification. You can stop pretending Father Knows Best is still the norm now.

I have the perfect weapon against smut on television. It's called the power button. Use it and read a book.

The term "self-made" annoys me. Lots of people who have worked their way to where they were call themselves that. Well, to those people, did you create yourselves? Did you somehow materialize yourself by causing particles in the air to form a baby? Did your parents have any influence on you? What about your teachers? Did you learn about the world around you on your own? What about the people who gave you your first job? Did you somehow make money the same way you created yourself?

I just realized something about America. If we do nothing, the world hates us. If we do something, the world hates us. Man, we never get a break.

The Myanmar junta is refusing a UN call to negotiate with the opposition, saying it'll come up with its own plan to implement democracy in the country. Er, don't want to sound nitpicky, but I really wouldn't trust a military dictatorship to create democracy. I'm just saying.

To all you Communists out there: Sorry, communism won't work. We're too selfish for it to work. How many of you are willing to give up power once you make everyone equal? Also, how do you plan to maintain this equality of wealth and property?

Whenever I see a country's official name with "people" in it, I can't help but chuckle and shake my head.

I'm still wondering how the heck Aaron got on Hell's Kitchen.

To the cast of Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive: Watch House to learn how to do a convincing American accent.

Pat Robertson scares me. I think it's his ears.

Here's to hoping Miley Cyrus won't end up like Britney or Lindsay.

If anyone is wondering why I write these, it's because I need something to do while waiting for the mothership to pick me up.
