Re-runs on the Weather Channel are starting to piss me off

[SoCalDem]

I long for the old days of the weatrher channel.. when there were guys sitting at desks, with papers everywhere..poring over the data, and telling us what's happening NOW..not showing us "fancy clips from LAST year"..and the same footage they shot HOURS ago, for the umpteenth time...

It's been "Foxed"..the cutie-pie lipglossed-to-within-an inch-of their-lives Barbies, and cookie-cutter-Kens..

Is it too freaking much to just turn on the weather channel and get....WEATHER???? (It must be)..



Their ownership tells me a lot of what's happened to the.. and to TLC..and to History...and Discovery...and ...and....and....and

1. MILITARY CHANNEL

The History Wings Channel is now the MILITARY CHANNEL.

Soon it will become the PERMANENT WAR CHANNEL, with specials on our continuing war with EURASIA, and our ALLIANCE with EAST ASIA.

And remember TRUTH IS FICTION, WAR IS PEACE.

3. Didn't you get the memo?

We're not at war with Eurasia. We have never been at war with Eursasia.

5. Caught a show about the KKK

on the History channel yesterday and they ran a promo for a show about "Interogation Techniques" aka torture that's set to run tonight at 8 or 9pm. The KKK show was about the fight against them and how they morphed into other groups.

"G'Quan wrote, "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way." The war we fight is not against powers or principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." -

2. Indicative of mainstreaming shallowness of American culture.

Headline News NOT running headline news during primetime. Nancy Grace ravings and crappy Hollywood gossip instead.

And they want NPR, too. sigh

4. This morning's bimbos are really something

Decorative clueless wonders.

It was much better last night. I can only conclude that everyone who knows anything is asleep at the moment.
