…That’d be the so-called ‘conservative’ media, the so-called ‘liberal’ media or whoever the hell’s supposed to be pulling your strings this week.
Please direct your attention to what Senator McCain said – again – about him being the Veep candidate for Senator Kerry: he said “no“. It’s not confirmed that Senator Kerry even asked; frankly, I kind of doubt it. In short, this is a nonstory; it’s not going to happen. You know that, I know that, so stop pretending.
So, if I see this nonstory again, I will be vexed. Do not vex me: there is a post in my head that would serve as a response, but I have mercifully not expressed it. Trust me, you want me to continue to be merciful – I have my hand on the knob of a door that you don’t want opened. But if you run no more Kerry/McCain articles, it won’t be an issue.
You Have Been Warned.

It was never in a million going to happen, but the media is an immense stupid beast, all nerves and skin and bulging fat and very little brain. A very tiny stimulus in the right area will get it running for months. Add “McCain” plus “unity ticket” and they were already in love (almost as good as “Hillary” plus “Democrat general” plus “dark plan to steal the White House while backstabbing the Democrats”), and they don’t need actual facts to run a story on one of their juvenile obsessions – they just need statements, even if those statements are constant denials.
This Kerry/McCain bs proves that medias bias problems, wether they be liberal or conservative, are nothing compared to media problems related to profit motive, sensationalism, and just plain stupidity.
Augh! He’s not bluffing! He’s not bluffing! Ladies and gentlemen of the press, please back slowly away from your keyboards, careful to not make any sudden moves…
Do not vex me
Do not vex happy fun ball.
I’ve heard that the Kerry campaign are trying one last “pretty pretty please” effort.
(really I just want to read the post you have in your head 😉 )
No Giant Foot from Space
Baltimore – Scientists from prestigious Johns Hopkins University confirmed yesterday that “so far as we know” there is no giant foot in outer space waiting to crush our cities and pulverize our way of life.
“Uh, no we haven’t seen anything like that so far,” says Dr. Pramad Singh, “but then I’m not an astronomer.” When asked whether he could prove beyond doubt the giant foot doesn’t exist, Dr. Singh replied, “No, what a ridiculous question!” Dr. Singh is a reknowned expert in animal behavior.
Scientists agree that the danger is very real – we can never be certain that doom isn’t hanging over us like toejam in the sky. This reporter for one is taking no chances. Until the all-clear is given I will be wearing the new “mattress hat” developed by Sealy Posturepedic Mattress Co. in conjunction with scientists at Lawrence Livermore. (At least, that’s what the label says.)
This is nothing new. Remember when the media were all in heat for a Colin Powell presidential bid – 1992, I think. He said over and over and over, in so many words, that he wasn’t going to run. Pundits and news anchors responded by furrowing their brows, claiming to be “troubled” that Powell refused to acknowledge that he was going to run for president.
A McCain VP candidacy would make the election more interesting to the press corps, with more salable coverage. Naturally they aren’t going to stop beating the idea into the ground. Not until something else catches their attention, at least.
