I don't care about...

I don't care about...

Michael Vick
The (so-called) Lion of the Senate
The snail darter
Michael Jackson (thanks Tabby)


I am not afraid of...

Global warming
Endangered species
A health insurance crisis

I just can't seem to fit in with the news anymore. What does that make me?

Obviously, you have forgotten how to use a newspaper properly. You're looking at the FRONT PAGE right now. You need to take that sheet of newsprint, and pull it from right to left by the corner. This exposes pages 2 and 3, which is where the real news starts. Repeat as needed until you either are sated with the news, or run out of pages to turn.

The interweb has insidiously fried the part of the human brain that once instinctively knew how to find page 2 of the newspaper, but with effort, funding, and maybe a charity drive or two, we can stop this brain killer.

There was a segment on late night news last night about the Mount Wilson transmitters in danger of being 'burned up' in the Station Fire in LaLaLand.

If they went comms in LaLaLand would be drastically affected.

No local news.

Cell phone service drop-outs.

Text and data services slow or non-existant.

Police and fire comms with service area blackouts.


It sounded like a return to paradise to me. To the way I remember Lalaland.

BTW when did it become the Interweb? Or Interwebs? Or even Internets?

Back when it started it was just the Internet or the World Wide Web. What transition did I miss?

In the spirit of the OP's words...

I don't care about...
Bret Farve's drama queen antics
The Housewifes of NJ, Altanta, LA, Butte Montana, Canton Ohio or wherever else they might want to film a show about desparate woman who think they are 'famous' because of their stupidity
American Idol, America's Got Talent, Survivor, Big Brother, Little Sister, the Biggest Loser, or any other 'reality' show that is cheap to produce and keeps the sheeple entertained.
Orange County Choppers - hey guys - take your dresses off and get back to building motorcycles
The latest celebrity death

I am not afraid of...
Swine flu
The hole in our ozone
The balance of power in Washington DC
The 'crumbling' financial infrastructure

....'cause it all comes out in the wash...

Getting off my environmentally friendly, made from recycled materials soapbox,
-Z-man.

I dunno about you guys, but Tabby scares the hell out of me! Why isn't Perky Katie warning the world about this guy?

Bah...

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

now I don't claim to be an "A" student
But I'm trying to be
for Maybe my being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

but I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me too
what a wonderful world this would be
