| Dan Rather Crazy? |
| 12.20.04 (3:08 pm) [edit] |
Since it's been so slow recently, my posts have suffered. I know that disappoints my VAST reader base, yeah?
I saw this a couple of days ago. You've probably all heard of "Ratherisms," but in case you haven't..."Ratherisms" are the phrases Dan Rather seems to enjoy spouting out when covering election results. An example would be "His (Bush's) lead is as thin as turnip soup." I found a page that lists various Ratherims from election coverage in 2000, 2002, and 2004. The problem is, several Ratherisms were repeated from year to year, leading me to believe that ol' Dan has a stack of index cards he uses to keep track of them. Here's a few examples of Dan's re-hased "Ratherisms":
"This presidential race has been crackling like a hickory fire for at least the last hour and a half."(2004) "Crackling like a hickory fire."(2002)
"Bush is sweeping through the South like a big wheel through a cotton field."(2004) "Bush has run through Dixie like a big wheel through a cotton field."(2000)
"(To Joe Lockhart) "What about Michigan? It's been out there for a long time. Is that making your fingernails sweat?"(2004) "It's beginning to get exciting as the Democrats' fingernails are starting to sweat"(2002)

(sung in a whiny Staind-like voice) Yeah, I know. I've been lazy-busy. Hey, your not paying for it. Hell, no one reads this stupid blog anyway, right?
Whole buncha stuff has gone down.
Mfume Steps Down as NAACP Head Or so Mr. Mufume's statement of resignation at a recent press conference would have led you to believe. Apparently Mfume was fueding with Co-Chair Julian Bond. Mfume tried to reach out more to Republicans, realizing that both parties have been taking blacks for granted. Republicans knowing that they can never garner any reasonable amount of support from blacks, and Democrats knowing that they could bring back slavery and still enjoy 90% of the black vote. The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back: Mfume wanted to send a letter to President Bush after the election detailing ways Republicans could reach out to the black community. Bond rejected the idea but Mfume sent the letter anyway. Mfume was forced out as a result. Apparently there is no room for intellectual diversity at the NAACP. Rush is right, it is the NAALCP. "L" stands for...
Bush Wins Ohio On December 6, 2004, the State of Ohio certified that President Bush had won the state by 119,000 votes. For some strange reason, this story was not a lead story. Weird, considering this CONFIRMED that President Bush had won the 2004 election.
Dimebag Died On a personal and sad note, one of the heavy metal's best guitarists was murdered yesterday. "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot killed during a concert. 25 year old Nathan Gale jumped on stage during the first song of Damageplan's (Abbott's band) set. After yelling something at Abbott, Gale shot him 5-6 times at point blank range. He then opened fire on the crowd, killing three of the concert goers. Luckily, Officer James D. Niggemeyer was nearby and responded within two minutes, shooting and killing Gale and probably saving the lives of the other concert goers. Thanks to Officer Niggemeyer for meeting armed aggression with an armed response.
