I'm awfully busy, but I think I'd like to do all of that, and more!

Like, your streaming news idea. I've seen those, and I've even looked at them. But we don't want bullshit coverage of some dog getting gassed in terrorist training camps. I mean, how is that real news coverage?

It's not!

It's a freakin dog getting gassed!

I mean, we already know they like to kill people, why would we be freaked out over a dog?

Oh, heaven for fend! They're wiping out our animal population!

Who's gonna save Timmy when he falls down that well!?

Oh, the humanity!

As sad as all that may be, it's not anything truly news worthy. Let's be serious. How many times did CNN show that clip?

A million times is enough.

Also, Bush's plan to spread the war over to Iraq is becoming increasingly unpopular, so what does the news tell us weeks later? : "Oh yeah, by the way, Iran is harboring Al-Qauida."

Yes, the war spreads like a virus. And, of course, this virus brings in money.

So, streaming news, if it's mainstream, might not separate your board from the propaganda. Which would kind of make the site look hypocritical.

This is where I'd like to help. Like, get real news about real people affected by the war, a slumping economy, business scams, how Curious George and his creepy crew keep sodomising us left and right, and also propaganda in the media itself.

But, you know that I'd jump on a chance like this. It would also give me the practice I need to be more creative within my little rants, so they inform as they entertain.

As it's been said, "Come with uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited."

:P
