One Latte' Please, Hold the Crazy

I had an interesting conversation with someone who had read an earlier blog of mine. He went into an anti- Walmart site and found a viper pit of paranoia. Not just a little crazy, but drive right past uncomfortable into full blown whack jobs. The one he told me about in detail was a submission praising this site (of course I liked them right away) and later I got a pleasant little shout out from that person. This person, however was telling me that someone over there claims that new identities are made so that they can keep talking about this site. Riiiiiight. (And how many of those prescriptions do you think are working for you?) Much like slowing down for a bloody accident, I have been guilty of perusing the Walmart hate site. On a rainy day there used to be nothing better than reading badly spelled rants about cameras following you. But what with having a life and everything now, as they say, the thrill is gone. It was a much more fun site when the guy had a cheesy little opening that said hell mart,instead. I think that was walmartsucks.com anyway. So now there is this site seemingly chock full of people with nothing to do except rant filth and try to out "spies" from management. I can tell all of them without hesitation that I do not work for Walmart. Not salaried. Not hourly. Nope. But keep fussing about it, and accusing me of it. I had 17 people hit my blog in five minutes today. Normally, I know, 17 people is kind of a whole bunch of nothing, but to think that there are 50 people who care what I write, and keep coming back to see what else I have to say is kind of cool. But enough of patting my own back. I've been watching the news with even more interest, lately. I see that polls can tell me anything, even who the projected winner of next month's election is. Thank goodness the media is still offering to do my thinking for me. But until someone can show me a valid birth certificate from Hawaii that doesn't belong to B.O.'s sister, I don't know if he is eligible to be president, is he? It's a shame the media isn't more interested in that instead of what Sarah Palin is wearing. I guess fair and unbiased is too much to ask. Maybe next time. I don't recall Geraldine Ferraro having cameras inserted in her... privacy, but maybe that's just asking too much from a group that's more interested in a teenage pregnancy than substantive issues. Try turning off the tv every once in a while, and thinking for yourself. You'll thank me later.
