Fox news: Out-of-the-closet racist network

Looks like Fox's recent characterization of a fist-bump as a possible "terrorist" gesture was just a warm-up. Check out this scoll under Michelle Obama's picture. No this is not an Onion parody.

The stuff on the tomato slices is ground flax seed.

Wesley Snipes

Taking away a human being's liberty for 3 years in a case like this just seems draconian to me. Snipes did act foolishly when he chose to align himself with the anti-tax loonies and trust their advice, but did he attempt to HIDE his earnings to defraud the government. No. In fact he has appeared contrite in court and has made restitution and paid a great deal of fines. I'm not saying he should get off free, but seriously, isn't a length of time reporting to a probation officer (I wouldn't want to have to do it) and a lifetime ahead of constant tax scrutiny a valid punishment? The judge has decided that depriving the guy of his freedom and income is just the thing needed. This will also cost the State any taxes they could have collected on income Snipes would have made otherwise in those three years as well as the cost it will incur in keeping him incarcerated. Bad deal all around.

A sudden bigger project

*sigh* Once you start drawing yourself reference maps -- you're probably moving out of short-story lengths.

Stuff I hate (part 2 of a series)

Michael Canfield — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:23:00 -0700

Awards.

A for instance: After Goodfellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, and more, Scorcese gets a directing Oscar(TM) for a tedious and ridiculous self-parody "The Departed" with featured an embarrassing performance by Jackie "The Joker" Nicholson, denouement of bullets-to-the-head that is executed (excuse the pun) seemingly without the slightest awareness of its own absurdity.

So that two things I hate. Awards (because they are often for something else -- which will be the case if Chabon wins the Hugo this year) and "The Departed."
