Crooks and Liars This video of Congressman Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia shows what happens when you reduce the political debate down to a few hot button issues like taxes and gays. While we reject politicians like Gore or being "too smart" we elect a man like Westmoreland who can't even name the Ten Commandments despite insisting that without them we would slip into moral oblivion.

ok, I've been busy -- hanging out with the cute girl, making my own beer, reading about homebrewing, working, and watching the World Cup. A couple of observations: The new Miller Genuine Draft commercials that claim that their beer is "All Grown Up" is ridiculous. First, because it suggests that there is a beer you should drink when you're young. And second, because if you know anything about good beer you know that any commercial, mass produced, American beer is nearly indistinguishable from any other commercial, mass produced, American beer. Back when I was very young (below the legal age) I tried a slurp of my brother's Budweiser and I thought it was nasty swill. I maintained this opinion for years, up until my mid twenties. Then, I started trying out different varieties and learned that beer CAN taste good. Nearly anything other than Coors, Budweiser, Miller, Michelob etc... will do. I can watch every single game of the World Cup, for free, in spanish. But if I want to watch, or listen to them in English I will have to pay for that privilege. So today, when the USA national team was facing the Czech Republic I could not watch the game unless I were paying for cable TV. This strikes me as stupid considering the potential market that the networks are losing because of their second class treatment of the most watched sport in the world. Do they really think that showing soaps is a better decision that building an audience? At the very least they should be showing the best game of the day during prime time. I've come to realize that by belonging to a certain demographic that is supposed to have money I will be expected to pay for anything and everything. So I watched the game on Univision and picked up an internet streaming version of ESPN2's coverage for the english commentary. | |
