I never thought I would say this, but Wal-Mart might not be quite as evil as I originally thought. Wal-Mart decided not to fuck over Debbie Shank, the former employee who won a lawsuit against a trucking company. Wal-Mart's executive Vice President Pat Curran said, "Occasionally, others help us step back and look at a situation in a different way." I don't know why he needed to look at this one in a different way; the right thing to do seems pretty obvious to me.
But the quote was in response to an outpouring of negative media attention Wal-Mart had been getting. Bloggers and YouTubers were all over it, but CNN was largely responsible for the story breaking nationally.
Glenn Beck, a fascist pundit on CNN criticized CNN's handling of the story by calling them "terrorists." He also added that Wal-Mart "folded" under the media pressure. The good news about that is he should be out of a job soon... Hopefully.
So what have I been pondering about lately?
I cringe everytime someone uses the word "gay" to mean bad or stupid. "Gay" is not synonymous with negativity. "This movie is gay? I don't understand because Schindler's List is not really a happy movie. And films are asexual, I guess; they can't really sleep with other movies of the same gender."
I was watching a Led Zeppelin concert DVD last night, and I realized music is dead. No band will ever be as good as Zeppelin or The Beatles. I can't stand some of this current hip-hop garbage. The circular logic of "I'm hot because I'm fly. You ain't 'cause you not" infuriates me. And if artists can't think of any good lyrics, they start spelling words to fill time. Fergie does this in every song and occasionally spells words wrong! How can she write, record, edit, promote, and sell a song in which she is spelling T-A-S-T-E-Y without someone telling her that she is an idiot? Tupac would roll over in his grave if he heard this shit.
"You" + "Are" = "You're"
"Your" means possession.
Please stop getting this wrong.
Until next time, Love, Peace,
and I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T?
