Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Guess what's on tonight. (NSFW)
Here is one of my favorite parts from last week's episode just to whet your appetite.
If I were doing the Emmy nominations and awards, HBO's "Newsroom" would sweep the place clean. The best drama, the best acting, the best writing, the best directing, and so on. Beaglemom
OT, really OT How did Chuck Heath ever get a job teaching school? That man calls himself a writer, and he can't write. His garbled English is almost as bad as his sister, Sarah's word salad. (Does the whole family talk like that? Chuck Heath Sr. always seem to be running on too much caffeine.)
Here is a line from Chuck's post about atheists, one of Gryphen's favorite topics. "I doubt I'm not going to convince any non-believers out there to suddenly change their ways, but maybe when they reach the end, they'll swallow that pride and grab what God is offering them."
I'm going to mark the teacher's paper. Chuck wrote a "double negative" which doesn't make sense. It is either " I'm not going to convince any non-believers...." or "I doubt that I'm going to convince any non-believers...." But Chuck wrote that he doubts that he won't convince anyone, and I don't doubt it either.
Amazing isn't it? He teaches our most educationally vulnerable kids, elementary school children who are forming the basis for the success or failure of their future educational endeavors. I can't imagine what my life would have been if Chuck Jr. was my elementary school teacher! Granted, he teaches in a lower middle income area which probably scrapes the bottom of the barrel when it comes the teacher qualifications, but still, that man is unqualified for any educator position!
Im watching Breaking Bad!! Well, Im DVRing it to watch on my day offnext week. How could a family practice physician be a governor's higgh risk OB? She couldn't. Concentrate on this and babygate unravels. Come on CBJ. Come clean now before the media starts crawling thru your house and workplace.
Reading the comments yesterday and found the "libel" troll to be a little tiresome and boring, so I wrote a little script for you. If you tie it to the form submission it replaces the word "libel" with one of a collection of stupid Sarah Palin quotes:
script
var stupidArray = [ 'I can see Russia from my house!', 'All of \'em, any of \'em', 'But obviously, we\'ve got to stand with our North Korean allies.', 'In what respect, Charlie?' ];
function refudiator() { var str = document.getElementById('commentBodyField').value; var n=str.indexOf('libel'); while(str.indexOf('libel') != -1){ var randPaul = Math.floor(Math.random()*stupidArray .length); str = str.substring(0, n) + stupidArray[randPaul] + str.substring(n+5) n = str.indexOf('libel'); } document.getElementById('commentBodyField').value = str document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = n; } /script Have fun!
It was aimed at Gryphen, not you. It's a script he can employ if he chooses (I didn't expect him to, I just felt like writing it) that would replace the word "libel" with a stupid Sarah Palin quote.
It's Javascript, something that you use every time you load this page, you just don't know you are doing it.
I don't really like newsroom it just seems dull and dated. I don't care to relive the romney campaign. I was such a big fan of sorkin's The West Wing that I expected better from newsroom. I have to add who would have expected the dad from malcom in the middle to pull of walter white?
There was a big kerfluffle here in AK back in the mid 90's whereby a creek up North near Fairbanks was to be renamed from "Niggerhead Creek" to a more PC nomenclature. The term "NIggerhead" referred to clumps of a specific Carex (sedge) that occupies arctic marsh areas and was said to look like a black person's head, back when the first white settlers and explorers were traipsing around that are in the late 1800's.
This nomenclature was adopted by travelers all over the Northlands from Maine, through arctic Canada and arctic Alaska but thankfully most of the more recent mappings have removed all reference to this racial slur.

Slightly O/T, but five will get you ten that some of the under-rock dwelling RWNJ's are already calling the Affordable Care Act N-word-care.
ReplyDeleteI love how MacKenzie strolls in with the perfect phrasing there at the end.

DeleteThere is NOTHING on tonight except for Breaking Bad.
ReplyDeleteMimiC, does Breaking Bad have the actor who played Hal on Malcom In The Middle? Cranston is his last name, I believe? Thanks.
DeleteYes, but you would never recognize him!
DeleteHa, ha, "No doubt" ! (regarding the writing of the famous Chuck, Jr)
ReplyDeleteIm watching Breaking Bad!! Well, Im DVRing it to watch on my day offnext week.

Maybe that's what the NSA snooping would be good for. Ha!

Have fun!
Doh! Last line "document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = n;" shouldn't be there. Sorry.
DeleteDinty, Hard to follow that comment. Was that your intention?

Me too!
I stayed up late. It was posted sometime after Midnight so I caught it then.
