Three News Stories Worthy Of Our Attention

1. CNN reports that the NYTimes has refused to print the John McCain essay on Iraq, despite having printed Senator Obama's views.

Now we all know that the Times is a liberal dishrag that wasn't even Fit to Carry my Dog's Shit(get it???) but now they have proven it. Don't get me wrong. I am not a huge McCain fan but equal time has some merit. Not this nonsense like "we don't like what you've written but if you write what we want you to write, we will print it." Fer crying out loud - the man is a Presidential candidate. Isn't it newsworthy to see exactly what he submits instead of some massaged bullshit that fits the Times' agenda. Back to my dog - I wouldn't use the Times to pick up my dog's crap because it would most assuredly fall apart like the far left's viewpoints when subjected to closer examination.

2. Court Tosses 'Wardrobe Malfunction' Fine

It's nice to know that Janet Jackson's tittie ain't worth as much as everyone thought it did. A court in Philadelphia threw out the fine for the exposed tittie during the 2004 Super Bowl. The pro-Bush FCC might have overstepped it's grounds according to the court - not a surprise in these times when the government wants to regulate everything. The court found that the FCC fine for the "broadcast of a nine-sixteenths of one second glimpse of a bare female breast" deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining broadcast indecency only when it was extremely "pervasive." click here for story

Besides, the one who should have been fined was Janet Jackson - it wasn't a particularly nice tittie and it had that stupid little tittie ring on it.

3. On a personal Note: Roger Ebert gives "thumbs-down" to Disney.

Ebert, one of the finest movie critics ever, decided to chuck his show one day after Richard Roeper stated that he was leaving the show in August. Ebert, classy as ever, stated that Disney/ABC wanted to take the show "in a new direction", a path that Ebert would not elaborate on but would also not go down. Maybe this new path would have guaranteed good reviews for all Disney movies. click here for the story.

Ebert is taking this great stand, despite being sidelined with health issues over the past couple of years. He retains the trademark to the "thumbs up, thumbs down" motif that he and Gene (we miss you muchly) Siskel innovated.

Yet it seems that he gave quite a different un-trademarked finger to Disney/ABC.
