I'm Doing This As Hard As I Can
February's dreary. And the birds go tweet. Tell us something we don't already know.
How about an abbreviated Future Goggles? But instead of what Stantis will talk about (I think we can all agree there will be lots of "tasteful" Anna Nicole jokes), let's take a look at what was happening two weeks ago that he could talk about but probably won't:
- There is one biggie he might tackle: the military anonymously claimed that Iran was supplying the "Iraqi insurgents" with weapons (don't you just love how anybody that shoots at our troops are simply called insurgents? Keeps the press from having to go through all that hard work of explaining what the heck is actually happening there). Then General Casey said that he didn't believe the leaders in Iran were involved. Then President Bush said they were, and later offered up a bizarre reasoning, asking if it would be worse if the Iranian leaders did know about it or if they didn't. There's nothing worse than you being President, Mr. Bush. That's all we need to know.
- Here's a gem nobody in the "mainstream" media talked about: turns out the 2004 election in Ohio WAS rigged, and two people were convicted and sent to prison for it. But that's not news, is it? I mean gee, it's not like they helped Bush get back into power after he stole the presidency in the first place in 2000, right? And isn't it funny that the reporter on this story says those two convicts "mishandled" the election? It's called RIGGING THE VOTE. Look into it sometime, Mr. Journalist.
- The Prime Minister of Australia basically said that Al Qaeda would love it if Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. Obama took it all in stride though, saying if John Howard is so much in love with war that maybe he should send over a few thousand more troops to Iraq to help out. No response from Howard, since he's a dick.
- Stantis might actually talk about Windows Vista being released. Because technology is evil, dontcha know. In a related note, still no podcast update.
- I wonder why Stantis never mentioned the whole Boston "terrorism" scare surrounding the Aqua Teen Hunger Force ad campaign. They talked about it in the last podcast (on 2/3) but Stantis never addressed it in Prickly City. Maybe because he doesn't want people reading about a show that's actually funny.
- When did the Scooter Libby trial start? It would be fitting for Winslow and Carmen to talk about how innocent Scooter is right around the same time next week he's found guilty (well, when he should be found guilty - that one old lady who refused to wear the heart t-shirt on Valentine's Day might be a hold out). Oh and speaking of V-day, look for Winslow to have sent Conde some chocolates and for her to respond with another restraining order. Hilarity!
That's all I've got. There was a blizzard in Colorado a few weeks back (one of several), so Stantis might tackle global warming. Eh. Honestly, does anyone care anymore? At least before Stantis was worth ridiculing and correcting. Now he's just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake me up when it's over.
