Mr. Obama, read this

I know this isn't a political blog, but seeing as a don't have a clear theme yet for my blog, I'm going to write about this anyways. Hmmm, perhaps I'll make the theme of this blog "themeless". I mean, common. Its Data Roaming.

Anyways, silly you, Mr. president. You fail not to point out the unbiases of the traditionally conservative news outlet but neglect to even acknowledge those of the traditionally liberal.

In a more than 8,000 word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Mr. Obama compared Fox News with the papers created by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the century:

"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view."

Oh yeah, he also mentioned that Fox News is "destructive" to America.

We all know Fox News is biased. Any mass of organic matter with some sort of coherent brain can figure that out. The last person we need pointing that out is our president. Furthermore, if there is one force you don't wage war with, its the media. When you jab at them, like our brilliant president has done for most of his time in office, you create rifts between not only the politcal factions in our country, but between the people of our nation.

Mr. Obama is a brilliantly articulate man. He won over the hearts and souls of the American people with his campaign of "change" in a dire time. He said exactly what people wanted to hear and restored a hope in people that had been lost for some time. People look up to and listen to Mr. Obama.

Now, I'm not here to talk about how Obama may or may not have fulfilled his promises. And I'm not even here to talk about his lowest all-time approval rating. I'm here to talk about how stupid he is for targeting the conservative media mogul called Fox News.

By targeting Fox News, Mr. Obama is not only pissing off a lot of people, but he is reinforcing the left's hatred of Fox News. If feeding Matt Drudge's perpetual stoning of the left is Obama's purpose, fine. Do you know how many people read the Drudge Report? A shit ton. Conservative and liberal readers alike, check out this story:

What happened when you conservative folk read the first couple of paragraphs? You probably thought, "Oh, typical. Obama is trying to smother the dissent of the right by discrediting Fox News with his comparisons to the evil media moguls of the turn of the century." Or something like that.

Liberal readers, when you checked out the story, you probably thought, "Yeah, thats right. I'm glad our president sees what we see. Those Fox News mongers of evil should be put into the spotlight for their dastardly excuse for reporting." Or something like that.

Either way, nothing good comes of these words.

Mr. Obama, you are the figure head of America. When you say things like this, you yourself are digging the expanding rift between the American people. Perhaps you should be more aware of your OWN bias before you go vomiting your words all over the American people's minds.

Event Horizon

Iv'e hit that point: Event Horizon. Iv'e sat here for minutes and minutes trying to figure out what theme I will assign to my blog. Many ideas jumped from synapse to synapse, prodding at the surface of my brain, arching like a feral electric snake. I can be a very precise person and the names of which I title things must always be drawn from spontaneous thought but at the same time, be near perfect. However, now, there is no longer enough fuel to turn back.

I discovered the name for this blog when I attempted to make a call on my cell phone. I noticed that the poor bastard's only response was, "Data Roaming." I can only imagine how it feels: stuck in a swirling vortex of vertigo, disconnected from the known Universe, its data receptors swiping at a digital fabric of nothingness. I thought to myself, as I waged my own battle for (blogging) direction, "This is quite fitting."

So I suppose this blog will be an attempt for me to "plug into" the world around me. Iv'e spent my life on a conquest for adventure. When I was a kid, it was easy. I could walk outside, pick up a stick and go battle a massive ogre. My parents weren't especially happy when they saw me beating the shit out of their prized Weeping Willow next to the pond. Nonetheless, I had fun and was creating my own adventure. Now, due to the confines of my waking world spent studying and wooing people into accepting my laziness, the quest has become much more difficult. The seeds of adventure are sown scarcely and the fruits, they ripen slowly.

With every post, I will introduce something new that I have discovered roaming the world and what I think about it. I do enjoy science, so I would imagine a lot of the material will come from that field. I also enjoy writing, so don't be surprised to find fragments of an imagination stuck on the Swings. You know, that ride you can find at the carnival that invites you to a centrifugal party of glee and vomit.

So, with that said, Data Roaming activated.
