A Bit Like Journalism

It's like sitting in a room with someone you thought was interesting. But all they do is sit there. Nobody's talking, and it gets really awkward.

That's when I don't post anything new.

Canada legalized same sex marriage--and no one really took notice. It seemed to not really be that big of a deal to anyone....except for gays and lesbians in Canada. Though I haven't heard anything from them either. This is another example of the poor coverage by the media and why it has really become an entertainment-news source. It's got to stop, plain and simple. Everyone becomes dependent on the filth on TV, and the news tries to compete by being the same.

It would even be more tolerable if, say, they all didn't report on the same things. Why doesn't anyone say, "Oh, Channel 4 is already doing that story so how about we go report on something interesting?" And here's where their brainwashing media powers really have an effect: It seems like there is a fewer and fewer amount of people who actually look for real news. So the vast majority, as I see it, get on their knees and are violated by the media who "persuade" the viewer into watching what is interesting. The real job of the media, having legitimate reporters (I know, I have high expectations) and not wasting time with repetetive stories and unjustified opinions: is to bring journalism to the public, and though not always exact, to do that to the best of their ability. But none of that seems to be happening, it always keeps reminding me things are going more and more downhill in this highly influential and important part of modern society.

To bring this full circle, blogging is a bit like journalism. I say a bit, to those of you who would quickly reject my saying it's anything more. And I say it's a lot like journalism to anyone else who believes that.

Bush Experiences Deep Impact

Scrape! Crackle! Cop!
As Conan O'Brien quoted the Bush's physician: He'll be back on his big wheel in no time. That's good to hear, but because it's not the first time Bush has hurt himself.

Don't worry folks, I think he'll be okay, I sent him one of these in case of future... mishaps.

George W. Bush must be pacing frantically right now that he's heard same sex marriage is close to being legalized just above the border. How could they be achieving a more equal society faster than the United States? We're supposed to be the best at everything (for good or worse, in many cases)!

That NASA group seems to be having a lot of...experience. I say this because Deep Impact is so damn cool. It's kind of a like that movie I saw. When I heard about the project a while ago, I thought of how cool it would be that we were spending tons of money to blow things up in space. And then that's when I was overwhelmed when scientists told me that it would be going to scientific use. How wonderful, it works out for everyone. If this little cavity we've created gets us some special little information, we will have...expanded our knowledge! Yeah, it doesn't sound too exciting but it could mean that we have made a new discovery on how the planets and universe were formed. Could possibly debunk a few myths. That's right, they're only myths.

In the "what would've been cool had it worked" category, we have for you: solar sails. But NASA's sure on this one that the first launch was just a fluke and it will work. Hope so.
