Things I Don’t Care About

Anyone who writes a post on their blog to let me know that they are Twittering from the convention… And especially anyone who then transfers those Twitters to a blog post because, in their mind, I was apparently dying to read the Twitters but unable to follow the link they already posted.
Fuck that. I don’t [...]

But in case you care, the trailer came out this weekend:

(Part twenty-one in an ongoing series)
An NFL quarterback nearly as old as John McCain who has spent the entirety of the decade deciding whether or not he’s going to finally retire for realsies this time.
Oh, wait, I forgot: He’s white the greatest athlete in the history of histories. In that case, carry on, sports-industrial complex.

Jesse Ventura.
Seriously, shut up already. Unless the news involves a new Predator sequel featuring the return of the original cast, I don’t want to hear it.

Trying to decide whether, “Ralph Nader is a complete moron,” or, “Ralph Nader was intentionally grasping for media attention by saying something that makes him sound like a complete moron,” is the more accurate summary of his remarks on Barack Obama’s race.

Geraldine Ferraro.
“It’s not racism that is driving them, it’s racial resentment.” Seriously? Are you sure you wouldn’t be better suited to working on a Republican’s campaign in some backwater in the South?
How could someone so irrelevant to everything be annoying me so much? Why won’t she go away?

(Part fifteen in an ongoing series)
Some sort of dispute over which state bloggers get Super Awesome Blogger Credentials for the Democratic convention and which ones got regular average blogger credentials.
I guess it sounds like the DNC screwed up, and I guess it sounds like the people who keep writing about it have reasons to care. [...]

Geraldine Ferraro’s intentions in the voting booth.
Why does this icon continue to embarrass herself and tarnish her historical legacy by making herself the story in a campaign that shouldn’t in any way be focused upon her?
And yes, a lot of sexism has come out in this campaign. But calling Obama [...]

The West Virginia primary.
I really can’t bring myself to care, and I’ve enthusiastically watched the results come in from almost every single state on primary night so far. WV is so relatively small and the race is so close to decided that there are absolutely no circumstances in which the [...]

HRC’s ability (or lack thereof) to pour herself a cup of coffee.
Umm, isn’t it possible the machine wasn’t working properly? Or that it was legitimately confusing in some way? I had trouble with one of those things once at a Wawa when it was late and I was tired from [...]

A John Edwards endorsement.
I like the former VP nominee a lot. I like his wife just as much. But the Edwardses had their chance for a meaningful endorsement and they let it slip by them. Neither is a superdelegate, so if they wanted their opinions to matter, they should have [...]

Grand Theft Auto IV.
The series has never appealed to me. Of course, in the past the games have always been designed exclusively for the current iteration of Playstation, and I’ve never owned a Playstation, so that’s a contributing factor. But I have played one or two of them on occasion [...]

Food shortages in the United States.
Yes, it worries me that there seems to be some sort of growing food crisis in the world. There are already people without enough food in some parts of the world, and it sounds like even more people in poorer countries could be facing some [...]

Wait, this one needs to be more emphatic. How about “Things I Could Not Conceivably Care About Under Any Circumstances Including If My Own Life Depended On Them”? Yeah, that sounds about right.
The NFL Draft.

“Bittergate”.
There are no issues here. Barack Obama repeated a commonly held belief among Democrats. Unfortunately, he phrased it in a way that could offend some of the voters he is trying to attract. The only thing that matters is whether any of those voters were offended, and if so, whether [...]

How much money President Douchebag made last year.
Although it is a bit funny that he announced he would be releasing his tax returns as though anyone had been asking to see them.

Whether the Clinton campaign pays its bills in a timely manner.
No, it doesn’t tell us anything about how she would run the White House or what her priorities would be as president. All it tells us is that her campaign is short on funds. And we already knew that.
