And it’d help greatly if you are dumb enough to believe anything you hear.

We have a radio station here in our state that typically plays your normal fare of “90′s and now” programming that is so popular everywhere.  I will occasionally listen to it when I’m surfing through the stations, but I don’t really follow it as much as I do my favorite one.  I hadn’t really listened to it before at night, until I was driving down to the gas station the other evening.

John Tesh has a radio show that broadcasts at night on this station.  I sort of knew that it was there, but hadn’t ever really paid any attention to it until my gas run the other night.  Billed as “Intelligence for Your Life”, it’s a syndicated program (that sounds like it was recorded in his basement, “unibomber-style”) designed to educate people with little factoids that he finds interesting.

So, the Olympics are over.  Part of me is sad, and part is happy.  I’ve never been a highly competitive person, nor a really great athlete, but I like watching the best in the world give it their all and show us what they can do.  I like seeing people from different backgrounds and ideologies come together and compete as equals and sportsmen.  I like seeing humans come together for at least a short time and celebrate all we can do with our bodies and what makes us all common.

I dislike ceremonies.

Now, as I write this, the closing ceremonies have just finished.  This post won’t publish till Wednesday, so maybe things will change by then.  As it stands now, I can’t find any pics of the closing ceremony online.  Of course, considering how hard it is to pull up pics of other opening and closing ceremonies online, I might never be able to. [Editor's note: found them!]

I like politics.  In fact, I’m a political geek.  I love the political process and and all that goes with it.

Let me catch everyone up to speed.  Recently, John McCain compared Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.  Well, Paris Hilton has come back with a rebuttal to Senator McCain that makes me very, very afraid.  Why am I so afraid?  Because apparently sometime in the last 24 hours hell finally froze over.  It’s the only explanation for the intelligent words coming out of Paris Hilton’s mouth.  She is a person that will give you gonorrhea in your eyes just by looking at her.  She is everything that’s wrong with America’s fascination with celebrity.  She has a better energy policy than either of the two presidential candidates.  WHAT?!
