Hannity
I’ve been watching far too much Fox News this week and I feel exhausted by it. The network’s claim of being “Fair and Balanced” is beyond false - it is lunacy. And beyond that, Fox News personalities like Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly are far more interested in theatrical Obama-bashing than they are in presenting a solution to the perceived problem(s).
Watching these men on television makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. How did they get on television? How are they allowed to make such wild, unsubstantiated claims? How could this possibly be happening in a world of rational, well-meaning, educated people? On second thought, scratch that last one.
I have no idea how these people not only get on television, but actually gain large numbers of supporters. If I were to spend more than several minutes at a time trying to figure it out, I would probably wind up in a corner, rocking relentlessly whispering: “I am the eggman…I am the walrus…coo-coo-catchoo.”
However, Google gives me hope.
Search string: “Sean Hannity is an idiot.” - 410,000 results.
Search string: “Sean Hannity is a genius.” - 7 results.
Google: 1, Hannity: idiot. The world looks a little brighter today.

The conversation:
Daughter: “Hi Mom.”
Mother: “Hi….oh, I see you’ve been using Mommy’s coffee cup for digging.”
Daughter: “Digging and building sand castles. We were using our hands, but the cup works better.”
Mother: “So I see.”
Daughter: “I’ll wash it when I’m done.”
Mother: “Oh. *chuckles* Well thank you honey.”

An Experiment
People who have known me for any amount of time know that I don’t have much use for Dell computers. I don’t like the way they are built. I don’t like the software packages they use. I don’t like their marketing pitches. In fact, one could even go so far as to say that I hate Dell computers.
When my sister asked me: “What kind of computer should I buy?”, the one piece of advice I gave her was: “Don’t get a Dell.” What did she do? She got a Dell. Did she have problems with it that I’ve never experienced with any other computer? Yes. Of all the laptops I’ve used, I’ve experienced the most headaches with Dell.
Dell’s customer service is apparently stellar, but for me, even the best customer service rarely makes up for shoddy products.
I propose an experiment. If one were to stack brand new Dell laptop computers next to an equally high pile of Lindsay Lohan DVDs with a sign that reads “Free” on each pile, which stack would disappear first?
If you’re reading this on a Dell right now, do me a favor and punch yourself in the face. Then do yourself a favor and buy a Mac.

This ad perfectly captures the essence of the city where it’s located. Las Vegas is a culture of excess. It is a society built upon the desire to overindulge. Whether it’s gambling, alcohol, sex, or parties that never end, Las Vegas is a place that promises the world: whether or not it delivers is another matter entirely.
