Nyah, Nyah, Nyah: Color Me Unimpressed
July 15th, 2008 | by Jet Netwal |
In a parallel universe somewhere, Americans have their shit together. I have to believe this in order to get up each morning. In that universe, grownups have a grip. They communicate with a reasonable degree of effectiveness. It’s not unheard of to talk to a person of a differing opinion without resorting to 3rd grader behavior, name calling and general insouciance.
Or not.
Net-Roots Ninnies: Dem Left’s Dumb Bam Slams? Jesus. Who’s mature here? It is possible, when you are an adult, to focus on more than one topic, have more than one agenda, execute more than one plan. Multi-tasking runs the world, but you’d never guess it based on the over-weaning desire to cram the left into a tiny, single talking point box. Why can’t we get past this? Is it too complicated to discuss the economy AND the implication of FISA? Are we going to fast if we brainstorm solutions to gas prices and the overall issue of global warming? If you sycophantic puppies can’t hang, get off the porch.
As for my alternate universe… fuck it. I’m going back to bed.
On second thought, I think instead I’ll head to Netroots Nation, talk to some smart people about a myriad of topics, and generally improve my mind, my knowledge base, and my network contacts to help instigate change. I’m running with the big dogs, people. I’ll have a few “tails” to share with you while I’m gone.
I’m trusting you to keep an eye on the single issue puppies, OK?

Sure, but my overall point is how much longer does this grade school crap intoxicate the readership? Are they ever going to join the real world? Is jumping on a single talking point, ignoring everything else and jumping around like you’re the playground king all there is for this bunch, or are they going to step up with the rest of us?
Who calls people ninnies anyways? What is this, 1940? What’s next - namby pambys?
As I said in the headline, unimpressed.

Murdoch’s publications are very juvenile, that is their signature I believe.
You have to consider who they write for

Third graders? Come on. That ship has sailed. It’d be nice if enough market share turned away from it to drive the purile crap out.

It would be great, but it ain’t gonna happen Jet. Look at the popularity of Fox Noise. Murdoch has a winning combination and uses it at all his properties.
Fox Noise is on top in the ratings and although CNN and MSNBC are whittling away at their lead..its still a substantial lead.

All I can say, is when I read something like “Net-Roots Ninnies: Dem Left’s Dumb Bam Slams”, I am ITCHING to send somebody to their room without supper. It just stokes my inner parent.

What it does to me is raise my blood pressure.

The irony here, IMHO, is that Obama won’t have much effect upon “high gas prices, (and) electronic snooping, that have most Americans on edge.” Obama wants to expand the military, continue neo-con-liberal globalism, and give all the more tax-paid contracts to third-party government service.
I damn well hope Obama can do better than that if he’s elected.
