This morning they were talking about the Army shutting down the last M.A.S.H. unit- actually they were "giving it to Pakistan" whatever that means- and as if they no longer have mobile Army surgical hospitals, of course they do, they just call them something else and fund them out of the inexhaustable tax coffers while giving away the ones they had to whatever oppressive regime we happen to be in bed with at any given time, but that's another rant. Anywho. This in depth, hard hitting journalist asks the Rear Admiral in Charge (and that begs the question, what the fuck is a Rear Admiral doing giving away Army assets in Pakistan anyway? Whatever.) "So do you (M.A.S.H. people) have any Hawkeyes or Hot Lips Hoolihans?" WTF? That's the level of discourse on NPR these days.

I am a Heating & Cooling tech. Recently, I made a service call where the homeowner had the TV on Fox News. It was located right next to the furnace so I had to listen to it for about 30 minutes. They don't even pretend to be reporters anymore. What crap. 24/7 right wing wet dreams. If I still drank, I would of hosed down a six pack on the way home, and another after I got there. Geez, it took me two days to get over that BS. Jesse, I know what you are talking about. I am a Heating & Cooling tech. Recently, I made a service call where the homeowner had the TV on Fox News.
