Unfortunately, I happened to watch the Today Show the other morning when they had a less-than-intellegent guest on. Bernard Goldberg came out with a new book: 100 People Who are Screwing Up America (and Al Frankin is #37) , and his list contained all of the usual liberals who stand for "corruption" and "immoral values." Basically, this guy shot down anyone who is anti-violence, anti-Bush, has sex, and wants to save a puppy.
Allow me to go off on a tangent for a moment...
I am baffled by the whole idea that our society will shelter their kids from sex on t.v., but they buy them a violent video game, which they let them play...until they find out there is a hidden sex scene somewhere beyond the violence. WTF?
Anyway, Goldberg goes on to say that this book displays the anger and meaness in the world that he is so whole-heartedly against. To me, most of the list are people he is annoyed by or simply doesn't agree for what they stand for. Homey needs to take a chill pill...these so-called "annoying" people have no power to screw up America.
Here are some people who made the list:
(99) Rick and Kathy Hilton, because they raised Paris, who made a sex tape
Howard Stern is somewhere on the list because he makes dick jokes on the radio
(49) Ingrid Newkirk of PETA...damn her for saving the puppies
(20) Howard Dean, because he tells the truth
(16) John Edwards, because he ran with Kerry
(12) Dan Rather, because he had a whoopsie
and drum roll...
(1) Michael Moore (surprise, surprise, surprise)
I don't know any of these people, so I don't know if they are mean, and I am sure that Michael Moore is pleased as punch to be at the top of this list...his career thrives on it. None of these people are physically or psychologically hurting anyone that I know of. I'm more pained by the price of gas and oil, but no one in charge of these industries was mentioned in his book.
This fella just must have some ego to make such a list, and a lot of MEANESS to feel the need to write it.

Word up, katie. To my fella, everything is "Rick." I don't understand it myself. I just nod and smile.
If Goldberg is so freakin concerned with morality, then why in the hell is he making a list instead of doing something to change whatever it is he finds wrong with society?
Seems to me like he's practicing the immorality he purports to condemn in others.
What useless book...
And what a choad.
