Pilámaya. Mázashkanshkan tónakca hwo?

Holy Sheit batman. I haven't been here in almost two months. Damn! What the hell have i been doing???

Oh yeah. The road, the long and winding road, down the road again thinking thoughts, off on another very long strange trip. All to the good and away from the bad? Well not sufficiently away from it i guess.

So, part of this tour required i hang with my business partners who have a certain sado-maso streak that emboldens them to listen to right wing talk radio just to prove to themselves that it is all white noise. I unfortunately cannot make that distinction, and force them, through open and loud critique of nearly everything that is being said, to put on music. Alas to no avail, as shortly again later, those hideous ugly lying voices in the box return.

The newest pair to have leaped headlong across the line of factual reality are a couple of guys named Armstrong and Getty. In years past they were relatively benign chatters with a penchant for the comical aspects of CA politics and freakish Hollywood behaviors. But evidently since the rise and now falling of the Arnold, they have set their goals on the Big Time. They are verbally actively competing for a spot on Fox News TV; and to do so they have taken the mantra of the constant fabrication and lie to ever further extremes.

The classic sign of this trauma is the immediate denial of a statement that was made no less than one minute earlier. Quick denial seems to be the hallmark of this bunch--O'Reilly, Hannity, Stein, Bozell, Coulter, etc. Thus these two CA yahoos want in on the trademark riff. One of them will say something really bastardly about a liberal entity or thought, claiming some factual position. They take a call that asks if they just said such and such, and they immediately say: "No, I didn't say that at all!" and hang up on the caller.

You have to love the schtick in some ways i gather; white noise being the operative mantra. I suspect if Media Matters spent some time pouring over the transcripts of the shows they would find inaccuracies, lies, deceptions and distortions equal to, and maybe greater than, the national role models to which these flakes wish to propitiate themselves. Supplicating bigotted liars are too common and too frequent now to warrant much attention. I was just peevish about it because these two have access to such a large audience in CA. And people, as they are want in their own muddled denying self inflicted ignorance, tend to accept and believe it.

It would be so much nicer a world, if this pair of idiots took themselves out and leaped off that Golden Bridge, holding one another's hands and shouting "We Repent" all the way to splashdown.
