My god! The sheer, ball busting audacity!

So, at my new job, fox is blaring behind me all day. I think I’m going to have to start getting monthly blood pressure checks.

Anyway, for the most part its just your normal, run of the mill fox BS (spewing neocon talking points, detouring to report on michael jackson and white damsels in distress, and talking wholely out of their asses.

However, this one can’t go unmentioned. They had about a 5-10 minute segment on how Warren Buffet, with his massive contribution to the Gates Foundation, was doing it all so he could avoid the estate tax. (Of course, they were using the neocon talking point frame on that, but I refuse to dignify that by typing it.)

So what does Mr. Buffet actually think? Thats right. He was against the estate tax repeal, the dividen tax repeal, and the repeal of income taxes for the wealthy. And he thinks class warfare not only exists, but is being waged primarily by the rich. And won.

    I guess you’ll get a good chance to learn the neocon/Republican talking points and can spend your spare time thinking up how to most effectively counter them. It’s a firsthand chance to really “know your enemy”! (Too well, I’m afraid, but you just have to look at it as lemonade time.)

    Good luck. Overall, I can’t think of a better headache recipe.

    Monthly BP checks. I worry for your health at that pace. Dialy appointments seem appropriate. Just do what I do: find the TV control and block the channel Fox is on. It is amazing what people will watch.
