No Tears

Today is veterans day, most people probably don't know that because the media is gushing over Yasser Arrafats death. That man deserves not one moment of mourning in his sad existence. He is a terrorist nothing more. He is in fact the father of modern terrorism. Plane hi-jackings, passenger ship hi-jackings, killing of Isreali athletes at the Olympics, suicide bombers and machine gunners targeting children and people on the way home from work, are but a small glimpse of what Arrafat did with his life.

But what really got my ire was that in Iowa and Nebraska the television stations chose not to air Saving Private Ryan because of the backlash over the Janet Jackson nipple incident.

Or so they say. To some how put Janet Jackon's super bowl stunt on par with Saving Private Ryan is nothing more than a cop out.

"We're just coming off an election where moral issues were cited as a reason by people voting one way or another and, in my opinion, the commissioners are fearful of the new Congress," Cole (president of Citadel Communications) said.

What makes the whole thing a joke is that the movie ran the 2 previous years on the network with no problems. But apparently by those last comments patriotism, self sacrifice, and clarity of vision are now bad. In other words, you silly people who voted for Bush can't have your patriotic movie that celebrates the sacrifice of our veterans on veterans day even though it ran the previous years with zero problems. Instead you get Andy Griffith, ENJOY!
