Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews no longer will be anchoring MSNBC’s news coverage. They will be replaced by David Gregory and the two journalists will be used as commentators. The reason behind the change is that the net feels they were too opinionated, to the left, during the Republican National Convention. Um, has anyone watched Fox news lately? Even Brian Williams gets in a righty comment every once in awhile. I bet I can tell you 90% of every journalist’s voting record. Humans are subjective. What’s wrong with a little left-leaning editorializing?? I just returned from Europe and if you watch CNN international the anchors are CLEARLY pro-Republican. It seems like censorship to me that they have removed these guys from their positions. What the Republicans are good at, and the Democrats are terrible at, are organizing and vocalizing around a cause. They get results. SOMEONE in the media should make a BIG deal about this. It’s just wrong.

Well, I have to admit that John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin as a vice presidential nominee is brilliantly strategic, I think it’s pretty obvious that he’s trying to steal the Hillary votes by picking this gal. It pains me that I can’t support either of the two women who have paid/will pay major roles in the presidential campaign.  Just because they have the same “equipment” as I do doesn’t mean I’m going to run out to the polls and vote for them.

Speaking of va-jay-jays, I had a conversation with my gynecologist about this. She said she had to vote for Hillary because she never thought she would see a women have a chance at the presidency. That’s not a good enough reason for me. Hillary seems like she’s always giving a corporate presentation (although her speech this week was great). Sarah Palin is similar in her driving ambition. Everything she says and does seems planned to benefit her next move. Do we really want someone like that in the White House? Add to that the fact that, just last week, she wondered what the vice president does. Check out her views on offshore drilling. She’s probably invested in oil drilling companies just like Cheney has plowed millions (billions?) into Haliburton.

This is why I love public radio. On the way back from lunch today I found out it is the fiftieth anniversary of the Ramen Noodle and there’s an island where all of the Komodo Dragons live and on which the villagers are terrified because the conservationists are preventing them from feeding the dragons which means the dragons are eating them. If you haven’t listened to The World, from Public Radio International, start now. It’s good.

So I know the Chinese lied about the adorable little girl in the opening ceremony of the Olympics who, it turns out, was lip-syncing, but they are super smart. Check out this post about how the sponsor brands were covertly inserted into the opening ceremony. It’s a little creepy but super smart. If you go back to the original Chinese post here, you will see that some of the comparisons are kinda silly but I think most of them were planned.
