I have finished a new column for the masses. I know you will absorb it into your grey matter with passion. I have not yet posted it into the columns area due to a technical issue being worked out. I have posted it below.
I was flipping around the radio stations trying to find if any carried Art Bell locally. I’ve made a few jokes about him so I figure I should actually listen to his show once or twice to see if he’s really as whacked out as I think he is. I found the station that is supposed to carry Art Bell but he wasn’t on. Instead I had to settle for an idiot by the name of Matt Drudge.
Now I’ve never really had any opinion of Drudge one way or the other. Yeah, he was the one that first broke the Monica/Bill/Blow jobs in the White House story and I have to hand him that one, but as I was listening to him tonight he was really getting under my skin. I’m guessing that’s what he tries to do. His big rant tonight was that he wants some high ranking national security person to apologize to us for the World Trade Center attack. He thinks someone in our government needs to tell the American people they are sorry for putting us through what we’ve been going through since September 11, and apologize for what we are about to go through over the next couple of years. Hey Matt, give me a fucking break, OK pal? Osama Bin Llama is the one who needs to be apologizing here. That is if he wants to avoid being deep sixed by a few really pissed of Navy Seals when they interrupt Bin Llama as he’s wiping with his hand in a cave and pop a cap in his ass. The government has done nothing but keep you safe since Pearl Harbor, which you weren’t even alive for. What do they need to say sorry for, that they are about to pretty much wipe terrorism off the map? Gee, sorry that you’re going to be safer now.
You know what’s so shocking? Glad ya asked, I’ll tell ya. If the FBI had arrested all 19 terrorist on September 10, no one would have given a shit. We would have heard it on the news for a few days then we’d be back to where we were six months before, not carrying about terrorism. If they had captured all 19 guys and said they were planning to hijack four planes at the same time — with two going to crash into the World Trade Center, and the other two were going to crash into the White House and the Pentagon — we would have thought, yeah whatever, no one can pull off something like that. How about all the terrorist acts the FBI/CIA/NSA did stop? The Y2K attacks, the Sears Tower bombing that never happened, the LA suicide bomber that got stopped at the US-Mexican border. If you want the Government to apologize for the one they did miss, you should apologize for the 50 they didn’t.
It’s a real fucking shame that we all watched while Israeli after Israeli got bombed in markets and fruit stands by Palestinian extremist and not care. I don’t mean this to be cruel, but it took seven thousand people dying for the USA to wake up. And I can pretty much promise that the next time a bomb goes off in the shopping district in Israel, the US will show real sympathy and finally show support for their cause. Face it, Israel has been getting a spoon full of what we got on September 11th every week. We just happened to get the whole giant pot of soup at once. So what is it the government needs to apologize for? That we didn’t care? That we didn’t give a shit that kids and mothers and grandmas were dying in Israel by bombers and terrorist we tuned into NASCAR and kept drinking? Maybe it’s the American citizens that need to apologize for that one.
How about this, first start with the media apologizing for all the crap they put us through. Since “some government official” needs to apologize, then “some media personality” needs to apologize for a few things too. Like, Chandra Levy. Yes, I said it. The media held the Chandra Levy gun to our heads for 7 weeks, day after day after day. But did they care if Chandra was found? No, the media just wanted to know if Gary Condit fucked her. Connie Dumb, er Chung, spent 22 minutes of a 30 minute interview trying to get Condit to say if he boned her or not. They didn’t care if she turned up anywhere. They fed us crap while the media did nothing but try to figure out her sex life and didn’t follow any other leads.
Did the media apologize to Richard Jewell? You remember Richard Jewell don’t you? He was supposedly the guy that left the bomb in Olympic Park during the 1994 Olympics. When the FBI said, oh, it’s not him, they left him hanging high and dry after they had exposed every single thing even half-embarrassing about him they could find. If they could find someone that said he had a goiter on his ass, they aired it. Anything to ruin this guy. Oh, but he wasn’t the one that left the bomb. He was the one that found it and called the cops. Oh well.
So Drudge. Apologize for that shit and then maybe we’ll chat. Till then, get your fucking flag outside and start waving it.
