Cable is bullshit, just there to distract you while the corporate assholes get your to buy a Shake Wieght. SO YOU CAN JACK OFF IN YOUR OWN FACE WHILE THEY LAUGH AT YOU <strong>AND LAUGH AT YOU!!</strong> WELL NOT ON MY WATCH!!!</p><p>Just because Discovery Channel is full of shit 51 weeks a year&#8230;oh, so surprised, that, yes, Michael Ironside enjoys Shark Week? What&#8217;s not to enjoy from 7 days of nature&#8217;s most awesome fury, a KILLING MACHINE who&#8217;s existence is the essence of simplicity itself. TO KILL. <strong>JUST KILL!!!!</strong> That&#8217;s a celebration Michael Ironside can buy into. But the rest of this cable nonsense needs to be taken down in a COORDINATED ASSAULT. Why take over the people who brought us <em>Jon and Kate Plus 8</em> and leave whoever the FUCK thought up this show with midgets and pitbulls to walk the earth BREATHING THE SAME AIR <strong>AS YOU AND MICHAEL IRONSIDE!?!?!?!</strong> Why would one man walk into Discovery with a handgun and a propane tank and a flare, when a whole army could be raised on the underground, eating nothing but Tuna, and preparing, for a full assault on FX, TNT, The Cooking Network, and AMC (Breaking Bad isn&#8217;t a MOVIE CLASSIC, CHANGE YOUR FUCKING NAME OR MICHAEL IRONSIDE WILL KICK YOU IN THE BALLS. <strong>THE BALLS!!!</strong>).</p><p>Until such a point when we are organized enough to take down these Satellite-pimping pukes. Michael Ironside will continue to sit and wait. and wait. and wait.</p><p>And that&#8217;s Ironside&#8217;s Side</p></blockquote><div

href="http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/special_report/library-taxes-closed-20100628" target="_blank">wrote this piece</a> a couple weeks back, asserting that funding Chicago public libraries is a waste of taxpayer money. To make her point, she intentionally left out a hyphen from a conjunction in the first paragraph, uses bad grammar in the second, employs some impossible math in the fourth, utilizes a typo in the sixth and is totally arbitrary and inconsistent with her use of hyphens and em dashes throughout.</p><p>For example &#8211; check out the use of both an exclamation point AND a period illustrating her point. Not only is she excited about the 5000 visitors a day, but she also knows that she&#8217;s a professional reporter, and must end her sentences without emotion. I&#8217;m going to have to check MLA Guidelines, but, at first glance, it just seems right.</p><p><a

Very smart, indeed. If you could only now find a way to use horrible logic and leave out all facts, you would have totally driven home the&#8230; Wait a minute. Just re-read the piece. I&#8217;m wrong. You totally covered your bases.</p><div
