this is my 175th post. they haven't all been good. but i'm pretty happy with the time and work i've put in here.
here's a great article on torture. of course, maybe i only think it's great because i agree with it. and, i was actually surprised of its source.
today, i spent a good portion of the afternoon doing something i never thought i'd do as a kid: smoking crack. no, just kidding. i was watching golf, the buick invitational to be exact. i've been playing golf now for about 8 or so years now, and still stink. but, in the last year i've really begun to enjoy watching golf. so very odd. although i don't think i've heard him today, david faherty cracks me up. okay, i must not have been paying attention because he just chimed in. funny irish accent, says quirky things, tells jokes, great announcer. btw, sergio is playing very well today. he's about to take a putt for the outright lead. lefty and tiger are also playing well. i still don't like tiger. well, that's not entirely true. i like him as a person, but i just don't want to root for him. maybe i'm a hater because he's such a frontrunner, but i tend to pull for lefty. that and he's a nike shill. but i do like what he's done for the game.
i can't believe so many media outlets are fawning over oprah for talking smack to the author of a million little pieces. a few weeks ago, she was still supporting him even though it was already apparent that his book contained many embelishments. so, now she's reversed her course, and made a big stink on her show. big freakin deal. "But in true television talk show fashion, Winfrey then used Frey confessions to offer a happy ending. He may have lied, but saying the truth on national television could set him free." oprah, you are not jesus. hell, you're not even kanye west. i don't like you very much.
so, to sum up #175, i don't like torture or oprah, i have mixed feelings on tiger, i like watching golf, george bush hates midgets.

okay, so, i was reading this post of yours and all. then i get to the golf part and skim over it and then get to the oprah part, totally right on, and then the summary. so i read about g bush not liking midgets and have to read the whole frikkin thing again and still find no bush thing. whats with that?
I have yet to read the book and don't really care to much on what Oprah does, but here is a decent review and take on the controversy: http://thejuice.baseballtoaster.com/archives/316336.html
There has to be a reason why Oprah turns everything around though. I think that is why people like her so much. After a few years of hearing little tid bits from you about her, I can see why you don't care for her very much.
as for her turning it around, i saw another article that basically said that oprah's good @ protecting herself as a brand. so, to remain reliable, trustworthy source for life for some people she has to distance herself from people like this.
as for bush hating midgets, it's a reference back to the whole kanye west controversy from the katrina concert. it's actually a chris rock quote, something he said at an awards show after west made his comment. i thought it was great, not only because it was funny, but it also was a semicritical shot at west too.
