the news makes me so mad!

I am sooooo frustrated!

I should never ever read the news. Every time I do I get so mad I can't even get past the headlines. If I did I'd probably get even madder… perhaps to the point of violence, who knows? A perfect example was a headline I saw as I logged on to the Internet just moments ago. The AOL (yes I serve the beast) welcome screen read "no charges for Cosby."

That REALLY pisses me off. Why should rich and famous people not get charged for anything? The man already has money so why can't he pay for some things? It’s not fair. Or does he simply expect to get free stuff since he's so important? No charges. That sucks.

Another welcome screen headline I read had something to do with the US military developing robots for use in combat. I can barely type right now, that is how furious I am. They really will stop at nothing to keep gays out of the military.

Another “webline” (ooh that's clever) had something to do with "Passion" Vs "Harry Potter." This just bugs me. I’m tired of all this cross over bullshit to make a few bucks. Wasn't Aliens Vs Predator bad enough? ARGH! Although... I might pay to see a Passion vs. Aliens movie... Yes, I would. The theological implications alone are staggering. In fact, I going to put eight bucks aside right now just in case.

From CNN.com we get - "Luxury hotel to open on site of Hitler's Alpine retreat." Insert your own German/Nazi/Hasselhoff joke here.

From the Salt Lake Tribune - "U researcher helps determine age of oldest humans." I did that too once. It's in the book of world records, dumbass.

I tried to get a quote from the local rag (aka the Springville Herald) but all they have on-line is contact information. So I settled for a headline from the Daily Herald which is from the next town up the road. Their web address--I kid you not--is Harktheherald.com. Anyway, their headline read - "0218 coming Sunday promo." I have no idea what the hell that means. It was the top story, no less.

As a person who would like to be a responsible American I would like to stay informed. My only wish is that it wasn't so infuriating.
