Absolutly nothing has happened to me since I last ranted about the reporters of Fox 7 News being bastards. I have avoided the TV, stayed off the internet, and only had 3 cokes. In a word, I am mellow.
Even work is going okay.
Everything is going great, but my lap is getting sweaty. Its one of the 3 things I don’t like about my new laptop. The 2nd thing I don’t like is the placement of the battery, it throws the balance of the laptop off. And the last thing is the stylus; its great but the placement of the sensor is a little strange and it makes writing difficult. Other than those 3 things I love it. The screen is great, it being a tablet PC is awsome. I could use a bigger harddrive but honestly it will be a while before I fill 80 gigs (although the music collection is starting to grow). And everyone needs a gig of ram. Its slow on the boot (I am used to my desktop) but once it gets going, its greased lightening. Now all that I need is cake. Everyone loves cake.

The reporters at Fox 7 News are bastards. That’s right big, yellow, bastards.
Instead of helping people they would rather sacrifice the health care of 400 people, spin the news, miss some important facts, and make a news story. Their irresponsible journalism sensationalizes an important issue and screws over Travis county employees. Health care is one of the most important issues in the United States. With out controlling the spiraling cost of health care and providing health care to the masses the Unites State’s healthcare system will collapse. And if that happens everyone loses.
Travis county was wanting to run a trial program that offered Bariatric Surgery to morbidly obese workers. This surgery would cost an estimated $25,000 per individual. Fox 7 News spun this story as a waste of tax payer money. What they forgot to mention in their “excellent” reporting was the cost of not doing the surgery: which includes $5,500 a year for Diabetes and $15,000 per heart attack.
So because people whined about wasting money, Travis county reversed its decision. Now those 400 morbildy obese people get to stay morbidly obese and in the long run cost us (the tax payers) much more than $25,000. So thank you Fox 7 News, you are true rat bastards.
Let Fox 7 News know that they are bastards:

I am a bit of a pack rat. I collect odds and ends and over the years the amount of junk that I have collected has built up to an impressive amount of crap. Luckily I switch apartments a lot, and in the last ten years most of the junk ended up in either a landfill or at GoodWill. Being lazy trumps being a packrat, and moving crap around isn’t my idea of a goodtime.
One of the pieces of crap that never made it to GoodWill was a roll of undeveloped film. Since people who freqeuent Goodwill probably wouldn’t want my film I have hung on to it. I have always meant to have it developed but for some reason never got around to it; probably because I am lazy. Well last Saturday the film was dropped off to be developed and today it was picked up. It was a bit of a shock thumbing through the photos while waiting to check out. The film was 12 years old and contained pictues of my first highschool band trip. Staring up from the newly developed photos were the images of a very young Russell & Kimmy; plus a lot of bad over exposed pictures.

My minions, I write this post using stolen bandwidth. I am also using a pen. Blogging retreats back to the past as electrons bow to the quill.

Some people just suck! Tucker Carlson happens to be one of the suckiest. Not only did he loose his show on CNN, he also can’t dance. I am sure he is a nice person, but as a political hack he is a rotten bastard that deserves to die a most wretched and horrid death. Every time I see him on TV, I have the urge to pull out the shotgun and unload both barrels right into the tube; and then smash it to bits with a fire extinguisher.
These urges to maim the TV were going to be a problem, he was on Dancing with the Stars. That show happens to be one of Kimmy’s favorite shows, and I can’t afford to buy TVs every week. So thankfully today, he was voted off. America spoke and they hate Tucker Carlson as much as I do. So thank you America, you made my day and saved me the expense of buying a new TV everyday.
