Let's All Take a Step Back and Think Before Clicking Here.

Many of you may have heard about the controversial video taken of a Seattle police officer who punched a teenage girl. If not, here ya go. It was taken on a cell phone so try not to puke from all the moving around...



I've been a little bit surprised by some reactions to the video. Many people I've been hearing talk about it agree that the girl who got clocked shouldn't have interfered (that part wasn't the surpising part). Also, if you notice, they jaywalked directly under an overpass built over the street to keep people from getting hit on what is a crazy busy street in Seattle. So that shows they're kind of dumb. But I'm a little disturbed to see people "liking" the officer's actions on MyFace. Um, really, he sucks so much at restraining a teenage girl that he has to punch her in the face? They need to teach those officers some basic restraint techniques. I'm not saying he should be fired or anything, but really, I don't like seeing women get punched in the face. Call me old-fashioned.

Ooh, ooh! A topic! I unblocked!

So in the mornings when I get up I turn on the TV and turn it to the news station so I can hear the weather and the traffic and the stupid sappy human feature stories they like to banter over in the mornings. The channel I turn it to is the only one I've found that shows local news instead of national (which I find even more painful, being that they're sitting on couches and gossiping about Lindsay's court appearances and stupid things like that) changes programming at 8am. Sometimes if I am driving in instead of taking my car, I end up catching the beginning of that one. Sometimes, in fact, in that case I wake up to that one, because I turn it on with the intention of getting up and then... blink... for a really long time. And it totally sounds like actual, factual news. And then you think, wait, what? What did they just say about Obama? I do live in Seattle, right? I'm still here? And why is the footage they are showing of him filmed with what appears to be a cell phone?



Because, my friends, the 700 Club thinks they are a news program now. Maybe that's what that show has always been, but I didn't realize it. I thought it was just where nutty ladies with big hair and bad makeup talked about... whatever it is they talked about between "amens." But now they have these young twenty something women that don't look like they are crazy reporting things like it's news.

It's really weird.

And kind of hard to stop watching. It's like a car accident you can't look away from. Sometimes it looks like news. I'm sure some people do rely on it since our general media is kinda leaning to the left a wee bit.

So, the clip above. I don't get it. Why do "Christians" feel they need to prove that there is no global warming? And why must they act like all Christians think this. They can believe the world will come to an end. Why is the truthfulness of this global warming thing a threat?

But it looks like it's so... true! I'm telling you, be careful about starting to watch, because you may not be able to stop. Like when he says that prostitution will rise because of global warming right around 4:30 in the video. That's my favorite! It's toooo good!

Blah Blah Blah

I have bloggers block. What should I tell you about? Someone give me a topic.
