Television vs. Politics

First, they [the anti-gay conservative groups] went after Spongebob, despite protests from creator that Spongebob is asexual.

From the NY Times:

The flap over "Buster" highlights what television schedules make apparent: while
gays may be acceptable on television in the evening, children with same-sex
parents are not very welcome in Mr. Rogers' old neighborhood.

It's scary how people read 1984 by George Orwell (and if you haven't... you're seriously missing out) and point out the violations on basic individual liberties by "Big Brother"... But when the media begins to become conglomerated... nada. Sure, I guess there were a few comments about Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" but the multi-network's conservative programming seems a bit... well... suspicious. I sense something big is coming up regarding the explosive social issues, especially after Dubya explitly said "men shalt not kiss other men, and likewise for women" during his State of the Union address. Right now, I guess the only thing we can do is to pray that none of the justices (except the clearly conservative ones) leave their position for any reason... Or hope that the remaining justices have some appreciation for kids' educational shows promoting diversity (and TOLERANCE)... and Spongebob.

Victor goes to bed early

and I'll be up until 1 or 2 am.

This is the price I pay for my addiction to the online sources of news. Washington Post, NYTimes, CNN, Boston Globe, and FOX (Just kidding).

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Eric, who couldn't comprehend Christie's overly political rants on her Xanga. Meanwhile, Victor had used his Xanga to post countless pictures of the unmentionable Korean celebrity. Together, they plotted one day to enter the exciting world of blogs to present their views on the idiot sitting in the White House and everyone that defied their educated, informed, Californian beliefs. Therefore, to spare the inane Xanga community from actual substance, they decided to play their politically-aware alter egos on other methods of public communication. Xanga was awful when it came to organization, so they settled on Blogspot.

All the tired members of the Xanga community exalted in the promised removal of all extremely politcal, left-wing things from their subscriptions.

This is the Victor and Christie Show. or The Christie and Victor Show. Whatever. The first all-political blog for many of the preoccupied Lynbrook kids whose lives revolve around a sacred set of AP, SAT and other prep books. We will open your eyes to the world... but we won't promise anything. In fact, we won't be held responsible for manipulating, brainwashing, or inundating our unsuspecting readers with the best liberal stuff that we have to offer.

With that, ladies and gents, boys and girls, people and conservatives, dogs and cats, mice and rats, and all the furry little critters (and the non-furry ones too, I guess), and all the trees (we're liberal, remember?), and the universe... I, on behalf of my slumbering partner in crime, bid you good night.
