2. Good term for it, hysteria indeed.
Worse than usual even, or perhaps I just don't care but it is just pitiful.

22. bears schmears. people take the fucking bus to the appilachian
trail.
and they step off and go to post offices to pick up supplies they mailed themsleves and get back on the trail agian.
;)
it's a whole way of life, but you can hop off and hit nyc and then get back on the trail again.
the bears only go after babies.

26. Eh I dunno
I am pretty out of shape. I mean I get tired when I walk about a 1/3 mile to the creek nearby hwere. Hopefully there's going to be more Darfur rallies because they really are great. Capitol SW station was insane when we got there, so insane that we didnt even have to put our card through the metro.

6. Colbert is wonderful, no he isn't, immigrants are due a life, no...
they're not, how dare you say that, don't leave will, Colbert is wonderful, no he's not, yes he is too, should olberman be fired, natter natter natter nothing of it matters distract distract distract, we can multi-task just choose not too, so what is will leaves don't encourage his whining, how dare you, how dare you, colbert.

I've never seen Olberman and asked who he was and got snarky answer, then a couple nice ones (how dare I have 1000 posts and never have read any of the brazillions of daily postings about him anyway). I daren't ask who is Colbert. But feel like it.

23. Well, I don't watch tv. Have heard the name, but don't know the person
I've heard the name, but not sure what all is up with it. Never seen Jon Stewart either, except for a couple clips online since I got faster internet. Don't know what popular tv shows are on either. I am out of it as far as tv goes, but miss it not.

don't know what a koeb is either.

29. olberman has a very good news show. much more blanced than anything else
on his cable station. he covered lots of election irregularity stuff on and got pretty popular around here for that.
he does a lot of congress and supreme court kinda stuff. plame and libby and rove. he does cover politics thoughroughly and well usually.
colbert is a satirist. pretends to be a hardcore republican asshole on his show every night, a faux faux news show.
i don;t watch a lot of tv. but they are both great shows.
:shrug:

20. I know who Olbermann is
He's entitled to his opinion. We need to realize that even people on our side won't agree with us always. I for example am a bit more conservative than your average liberal on crime issues and some drug issues.

28. When god created the earth
He went to excuse himself and what resulted was GD. Sorry Gangs of New York reference, GD is the General Discussion part of hte part where people talk politics and foam at the mouth.

31. You know it's true
We're never going to agree with each other 100% on issues and GD's problem is they expect everyone that they encounter to be just like them. It's ok to disagree and all that but to hate on someone and demand their head just because they don't go your way once is stupid. Tommorow or later this week Olbermann will do something to redeem himself and then the cycle starts again. The cycle of fickleness.

actually i ran into the nicest people i haven't seen in ages and had the most agreeable conversations.
i'm having cucumber sandwiches with tea over there. it;s a love fest.
but usually, it's awful, just really funny i went looking for trouble and found a bunch of old friends. :shrug:

Ha that happens. You go places expecting something than the total opposite happens. I ran in to a friend of mine yesterday actually at the Metro Station, I hadn't seen her since we graduated last spring.

35. That it was
I really find myself nostalgic for high school in a way. I dont know it seems odd but knowing pretty much everyone was so nice. Then again I had a class that just ended today that was like that, gonna miss that class though the subject matter wasn't my cup of tea.

38. I don't know, but I'm using the opportunity to fill up my ignore list.
I can't believe the fact that Dana Milbank said he didn't think Colbert was all that funny is leading to all of the drama and swooning that's going on over there-- and they're blaming KO, which is even more ridiculous.
