SUNDAY STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Disney theme parks are still loaded full of magical memories, but do they have to suck even the lining out of a visitor's wallet? A hundred fifty bucks for a 3 day pass, and everywhere you turn, something else costs at least three bucks ( a soda, a bottled water) . . . Ted Nugent's recent stupid, violence and sex mixed rant against 2 Democratic presidential frontrunners is neither surprising - Nugent's been a cartoonish simp for more than three decades - nor deserving of censorship per se - in a Democracy even idiotic twits are allowed to express their opinions - but it points up the selectivity of the media outrage machine. Why are the unhinged kooks of the extreme right (Nugent and Coulter come to mind) never taken to task for "suck on my [brandished machine] gun, Obama and Hillary," but Michael Moore goes to Cuba in a film about health care and its " get out pitchforks and torches the evil fat Commie is back?" . . . College Football Season approaches, and every talking head prognosticator has now labeled Virginia Tech as "America's Team" presumably because of the campus tragedy there last Spring. Huh? At the risk of peeing on ESPN's parade, perhaps it should be pointed out that confessed pet-pal Michael Vick played his college 'ball there, too? Maybe the two stories could cancel each other out, and we could get rid of the pseudo patriotic nickname . . . So now Iraq IS like Vietnam after all, at least according to the Nobel Laureate in Chief? Oh wait, it is in the sense that we can't leave early? Sheesh, in the world of "Flip flops" that's a triple summersault 1 1/2 twist that would make Greg Louganis proud . . . aren't you so relieved and happy to have heard - over and over - that Lindsay Lohan will only be charged with misdemeanors? LOST's life is now more complete because of that news
