Yahoo! News – Fox Fishes for Reality in ‘Green Acres’

No, this is different than the “Beverly Hillbillies” reality show. That’s on CBS. The only question remaining is which of NBC or ABC will have a reality program based upon “Petticoat Junction”.

I won’t watch any of them. “Survivor” is the only reality program worth anything.

Erosion of Our Rights Update

49% think First Amendment goes too far

Well, that’s just dandy. Let me exercise my rights — while I still have them — and say that 49% of Americans are a bunch of subliterate, underintelligent, drooling, mouthbreathing, cryptofascist jackasses who deserve to spend the rest of their lives watching Touched By An Angel reruns on the PAX network.

At least Ashcroft is happy. I will point out that Republicans and the Religious Right are more likely to be among the 49 percenters, which is exactly what I’ve been saying all along. Why “Libertarians” can’t figure this out is beyond me.

CNN.com – Chain sues to edit sex, violence from films – August 30, 2002

Ugh. Isn’t there a Federal law saying that retailers can’t do that?

The plaintiffs claim they have a First Amendment right to excise foul language, sexual content and violence from videos destined for private use.

Let me get this straight: You’re claiming the First Amendment gives you the right to censor? My brain hurts.

Palestinian: Stop Suicide Bombings

Well, here’s somebody who’s not long for this world:

The Palestinian security chief called for an end to suicide bombings against Israel, denouncing “murders for no reason,” in an interview published Friday in an Israeli newspaper.

No reason? Gosh, think of all they’ve accomplished!

Reuters AlertNet – Lebanon cleric urges Muslims to withdraw funds from US

OOOH, if the Muslims of Lebanon withdrew their funds from the U.S., that might cripple our economy! I’m not sure how, but it’s very scary.
