I’m getting sick of media bias
I'd been wondering how the other networks would spin Obama's Fox News interview (in which he ignored, evaded, and fumbled his way through the questions)... now I know.
I just saw the NBC4 local news bit (yes, the press is covering the press... as if there's nothing else to talk about), and they only talked about Obama getting interrupted by the Fox News interviewer (who was interrupting because Obama was trying to avoid answering the questions he was asking by changing the subject). Yet again, I have no faith in the media delivering unbiased news coverage. Fox leans a bit too far to the right, but the rest tend to lean so far left they're practically horizontal.Whatever happened to dispassionately reporting the facts and letting the viewers/readers decide their own opinions?
And to make things worse... they spent more time on the story about Sandra Bullock's marital problems than they did on the hard news of the health care reform debate. Seriously? For those who wonder why I'm not working as a newspaper editor anymore, this is why.

I’ve got pneumonia!
Pneumonia and an ear infection. So, now we know why I’ve felt like crap for the last two weeks.
Am I worthless?
Am I worthless? This question has plagued me again and again throughout my life, and it plagues me once more. I'm an intelligent guy. I'd like to think I'm not unattractive. I'm hard working and adaptable. So why is it my life seems to suck so much? From my love-hate relationship with my time in the military, my apparent inability to get so much as a date, and my current financial woes leaving me unable to pay my rent or buy food, I find myself asking the question again.

Yes, the time has, at last, come to pass. I'll be returning to school in just under two weeks for summer classes at Fullerton College. I've enrolled and registered, and yesterday I (finally) met with a counselor to sort out my plan for the next year or so, and to fill out and file the paperwork to get my GI Bill payments started.
