Let’s call this my morning of hate
I would never have thought it possible for anything to happen to make me care less about Tiger Woods than I already do, but alas, the media feeding frenzy of Tiger Woods’ domestic situation is making my lack of tolerance meter jump into the danger zone. Enough already. There isn’t really anything even vaguely compelling about him – he’s a professional golfer for heaven’s sake.
I was never much of a CNN fan but if I had to choose my late night falling in front of the television news coverage – I prefer Aaron Brown to Anderson Cooper. I’ll take a well-meaning middle aged liberal bumbler over a the sneering of a young metrosexual any day of the week – with or without the tears. Nothing makes me want to give a man a good cuff to the head like crying on television. So its with a sweet sense of schadenfreude that I see Cooper’s ratings slip lower and lower in the rating race.
Climategate. I really don’t care about the internal discussion between scientists trying to discuss possible reasons why the weather is not cooperating with their climate models. I never bought into the whole-global-warming-we-are-all-going-to-die because I am 47 years old and I have already lived through the sun-is-going-to-burn-out – the-population-explosion-will-occur-and-mass- famine-will-result- the-nuclear-bomb-will-drop-and-we-will-all-die meme a few times. And while most of my conservative peers are ooohing and ahhing over the alleged climate hoax I would like to point out; you are missing the big picture. The world is a finite resource and its in our best interest to conserve not only energy but everything we consume on a daily basis. If there is a better, safe and cleaner way to do anything – that is where our energies should be directed. You can stick your head in the sand and pretend there are no global pollution issues but pollution is merely not a Chinese problem – air travels and when it does – it brings along the Chinese toxic sludge. Some days, it hard to believe ‘conserve’ is at the root of the word ‘conservative’.
