Raider quits partying in time for training camp
My neighbor, Doug Gabriel, had some good things written about him in the Sunday Contra Costa Times.
It quotes a pre-draft scouting report that says, "he lacked maturity."
Tell me about it. With trainng camp up and running, I haven't heard a peep from Dougie Fresh in days. He must be too sore.....OR.....this white boy scared the bejeebies out of him and his pahtnah, too! I will offer this full disclosure, I was wearing a Colonel Sanders-type outfit when he rang me doorbell.
Turner speaks out on Media Consolidation
Ted Turner wrote an interesting, if not ironic piece in the latest Washington Monthly. Turner argues that big media is stifling competition and the quest for profits is acting as a form of censorship.
What will programming be like when it's produced for no other purpose than
profit? What will news be like when there are no independent news organizations
to go after stories the big corporations avoid?...Its job is to seek profits.
The irony is that the ruthless Turner, himself, tried to control all parts of CNN and TBS' infrastructure in the 1980s.

are fiercely against globalization and corporate dominance, and they are largely
indifferent to social issues like abortion and gay marriage.

Toot toot.
Hey, what's with all this talk about Doug Gabriel, Colonel Sanders, Nader, Cheney, Bush, and Turner? When are you going to talk about some bitches? Or at the very least, some kangaroos!
