Oh, cut it with the news already. The nastiness of journalists really shines through during a war. I'm so tired of watching them cat fight over the smallest bits of news from the war and blow out of proportion until it becomes entirely false. God bless the men and women overseas risking their lives for me, but I hate this war. I didn't read all the comments to Raffi Kojians last log because I even got tired of reading about it.
So the big thing other than the war on the news is how Michael Moore (directore of "Bowling for Kolumbine," a documentary about guns in America which I'm dying to see) won an Oscar at the Academy Awards the other night. The BIG news is how he started with a standing ovation, but the second he mentioned a word about Bush being a not so great president, he got booed, and it was considered a low point in the evening. And this is the free world we are trying to spread to other countries? Well, I consider it a high point for a man to say what's on his mind in such a forum. It's about time people see what true freedom of speach is. The letter he wrote to Bush has been e-mailed around like crazy, criticizing his war. I think more people are secretly happy to read that letter, more than they are willing to admit. At times like this, we need more people who aren't afraid to say what is on their minds, even if it's support for the war. THAT is what freedom is about.
Other news about Michael Moore is that he teamed up with System of a Down to create the video for "BOOM!", a highly appropriate song for the times we live in. I'm ITCHING to see that.
And in other news, Turkey is digging their grave right now. The buzz in Washington these days is how Armenians have to take this opportunity to show the world what we mean about them. They have completely screwed their relations with the US, they can't be trusted at all anymore, and now human rights activists will reep the benefits when US stops supporting a country that continues to slaughter mass populations of people. I see the results now... more Congressmen are signing on to attend the Armenian Genocide Observance event on the Hill in April... some that we never expected. Sad that this is what it takes to open their eyes.
