Rather, rather.

After a week of working overtime in order to complete a retainer audit on 16 complex litigation cases, I am ready to talk politics.

CBS has become a filthy liberal toilet with Rather as its floating turd.

As these comparison graphics illustrate, it is evident that the documents revealed by CBS were forgeries. Yet Dan Rather has managed to stay afloat and keep his job. Why?

I don’t get it. When The New York Times had the Jayson Blaire, affirmative action made me do it, scandal, there was hell to pay. Jayson, along with editors and heads of staff, was fired and apologies were issued. CBS, on the other hand, with some help from an old lady, has decided to continue its Bush bashing campaign. She admits that the documents are likely forgeries, yet maintains that the content within is accurate. Are we to believe her just because she’s old? Or, rather, because she’s being questioned by an articulate excrement?

I have stopped watching CBS in protest as so have millions of Americans. Their ratings have plunged along with credibility. But, for their sake, I hope they retire Rather.

Somebody, please flush the turd.

A Good Read

Having just finished a good work of fiction, the only read this year, I am inspired to share a paragraph. The book is Steve Martin's, the actor’s, latest novella titled “The Pleasure of My Company.” It is about a math-mastermind who falls in love with the unattainable girl next door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn’t know if Clarissa’s [unattainable girl of his dreams] gestures toward me were platonic, Aristotelian, Hegelian, or erotic. So I just lay there, connected to her at three points: her hand on my neck, my hand on her back, her hair brushing against my side. I stared at the ceiling and wondered how I could be in love with someone whose name had no anagram. (142)

Wow. Isn’t it deep?
