Is It Poop or Just Bad Gas?

Is it real or is it Memorex? (Old commercials as well as old songs... always creep in at the oddest time...)

I was thinking the other day, about something... can't seem to recall just what... but, it had to be something important... for I would not waste my time on trivial B.S.

Anyway, out of nowhere, the memory of an old commercial flashed across my brain. It was a beautiful woman (they always are) Being chased by a troll looking perve of a man (they always are) ... Anyway... I cannot for anything remember what they were advertising...

Where am I going with this... Couldn't tell ya...

That is where my mind is today... If I were to pick an analogy of my brain (besides the usual crap storage bin) my brain would be an electrical outlet. Today, I have one too many extension cords plugged in... and I may blow a fuse before the day is out...

So try and follow me... I am typing slow... for all who may read slow.... (ok, that was just too funny...)

I had a topic today... I just remembered when I read the title!

My Vent is the Media
They are such an easy target... Are they telling us lies... or are they reporting facts???

Back in the day... way back... I was under the impression that news was factual. Cut and dry. It was all so simple. Reporters went out, discovered the truth, and reported back to us.

I gained knowledge based on the assumed fact that they would not mislead me. Oh I am such a gullible nincompoop (My spell check could not find this word... It is now added to my list!!!)

My spell check now recognizes such words as poopie, crapper, and terdbucket...

All terms that fit the modern media!

If I open the Newspaper, turn on the News, or peruse the Internet... I am not looking for fiction. I can find entertainment for my brain at the library, at the movie theatre, or at my office.

I want facts... I don't have time to sift thru the Crap, tossing the "This should be news, but is really just a great story. It is almost real-but really not." to the throw out in the compost heap pile.

If news is in fact NOT the truth... 100 percent, FACTUAL... then a disclaimer should preclude the story... Do not put in little tiny letters at the bottom... "This is an opinion... based on complete biased kitty litter clumps."

Tell me up-front that I am reading a story, not news.

I would love to hear at the beginning of FOX News (yes, I am picking on them today) the following announcement:

The news story you are about to hear is based on the opinions of some of the people who think it might have something to do with the truth. We have made the story much more interesting, by adding several colorful interviews with people who have no idea what happened or why. However, their viewpoint is interesting to those of us who edited today's program. Please enjoy the STORY, and remember it is just a STORY.

I will then be able to sit back... and decide if the story is entertaining... because... it is surely not factual.

And, when I in turn, tell my hubby what I heard/read today... He will not roll his eyes at me... thinking his poor wife will be sending our belongings to the underprivileged children at Harvard.

What??? The children enrolled at Harvard are not starving??? College is expensive... They could be hungry... What??? (Ok... I really did not send them a check... But, I would have...)

I am not all that naive... I did not believe Britney Spears was a virgin... Nor, did I believe that Bin Laden is holed up at a Saudi Palace... We all know he is kickin it on the Crawford Ranch.

And because this post is now on the Internet.... it MUST be fact!

Today I flush the media.... and get out my comic books... they would never mislead me!
