PBS, BP and Thumbs Down to Rand Paul
Lots of things happening. Rand Paul won Kentucky, and not 48 hours after celebrating, he made some comments about the 1964 act to help end discrimination that could be taken as racist. BP is not taking full responsibility for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and I can't believe that BP is still existing. 5,000 barrels of oil a day! They initially released the spill as 1,000 barrels a day. Going back to the wonderful National Tea Party politician Rand Paul, he stated that he thinks Obama and the US government have been too harsh on BP and that "sometimes accidents happen". Yes, sometimes milk spills but someone still did the spilling. And BP was warned repeatedly that their pipelines needed to be fixed. The history of BP is that they would rather pay up fines than to fix problems. And Rand Paul wants LESS government intervention? So I will announce that Rand Paul is the next George W. Bush. Looking on the bright side, my inner anger has been lonely since Obama was elected so it will be happy to have some company in the near future.
So I thought I would relax and try to tune out of the horrible events going on by enjoying my local PBS channels. Lucky for me they were doing their Festival 2010 pulling and tugging at viewers to donate. And then I thought about how PBS is socialism. Similar to our parks, our US Postal Service, our public schools and our public libraries. Or maybe like a media outlet on welfare. And needless to say, PBS is awesome. Lovely programs that make me feel smart in a way my lazy self can really appreciate. And there are no commercials only "brought to you by" interspersed so I don't loose interest. Seriously. PBS is where it's at, and Rand Paul...is not.
