The Good Life With No TV...

I'm coming up on one year without a TV.  That's right, friends and neighbors.  One whole year without the mind-numbing influence of the boob tube.  And how in the holy hell can one get along without a TV, you might ask?  How do you what to buy and think and wear?

Well, my peeps, its called reading.  I read for entertainment.  I read for knowledge.  I read for news and sports and entertainment and every thing else.  But as much as I like to think that it somewhat shields me from my completely stupid and altogether worthless fellow citizens, I find that reality finds ways to get through.  Granted, I don't have to run for the remote, desperately trying to hit the mute before having to listen to Hillary Clinton.  I can selectively choose what I read.  But there are still headlines.  And you really just have to shake your head and realize that we are all going straight to hell when you read these headlines.

Here's a selection of headlines for Wednesday April 9th, 2008.  I have plucked these beauties from my own google news homepage.

These are just some of the headlines.  Its rare that I even bother going past them to the actual article.  The headlines pretty much say what needs to be known, and its all bad.  As I said before we are all going straight to hell.

Now I don't mind so much, because I don't believe in god or hell or any of that shit.  But for all you bible wielding freaks, its gonna be real damn hot where we're all going...............................
