It really irritates the sheet of paper out of me when anti-religious acquaintances celebrate Christmas. If you don't believe in God, then don't celebrate the birth if his Son. "Oh, we're celebrating the secular winter festival version of Christmas" they say.
Watch this video. Now, the atheists are going after Charlie Brown. As you know, Charlie Brown is the devil out to corrupt the minds of our impressionable children to a life of treachery and villainy. I wonder if the atheists lead a boycott of ABC Family during December.

I'm So Dumb I Should Work on the Radio
I heard something like this on the radio this morning. "General Growth Properties was one of the largest owners of malls in the country. No longer. They have filed for bankruptcy."
I understand that news reporters have to report on an infinitesimal amount of information. They cannot be expected to know everything about all subjects. However, this is an easy one.
When a company files for bankruptcy, they are seeking protection from their creditors in an effort to restructure loans, close portions of their operations, and such. This is not the same thing as 'going out of business'. This drives me nuts and I hear it ALL the time. When they say things like this I can't help but think that reporters are really stupid.

Live From Idiocy
I always consider myself a person of average intelligence. Well, maybe leaning a bit toward the genius side, but I know my weaknesses.
One of my pet peeves is what reporters and DJ's say on T.V. and radio, respectively. You would think that because you are facing the public you would have to be slightly more educated so that you don't look like a donkey to the viewers and embarrass your employer. This, unfortunately, does not seem to be the case.
This morning I heard two dolts. First, on Channel 11 this morning, a reporter was telling the story of how Baltimore is opening a museum dedicated to one of the baseball Negro Leagues. This caught my attention. Some of the best players in the history of baseball played in the Negro leagues. The reporter talks of one of the former players who played for the Elite Giants. Sounds innocuous enough, right? Except that she pronounced it eee-light Giants. E-Light? La Idiota.
Then on Jack FM this morning, the DJ was talking about the snow and its effect on school closings. He said that all of the schools in the Baltimore area are closed except Harford County and they have to go to school today. Harford County was already scheduled to be off. I don't expect Jack to know that Harford County Schools were already closed, but since the information was so inconsistent compared the other schools, why would you say that? Pequeño Idiota.
