Last week there was a story about some guy who, unhappy with the Discovery Channel's programming, armed himself to the teeth, stormed the network's headquarters and took several employees hostage. But it all ended well. Police shot the guy to death.
This guy was apparently upset with Discovery airing the program "Kate Plus 8". Woo-hoo. Kate haters unite! He also wasn't too keen on the show "19 Kids and Counting". I'm telling you, this fella had it bad - worse than my friend Don over at Beyond Left Field who absolutely hates kids...and cats...and dogs...and, uh, just about everyone...and, ah, everything.
But let's get back to Mister moron, here. The guy was obviously a cheese curd shy of a good poutine. Sorry, that's a Canadian reference. How about...his elevator didn't go to the top floor? He was a brick shy of a full load? He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer?
You think I'm being unkind? According to a website he kept (the guy was a blogger?!) he called on Discovery to air "programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility". (Don, is this guy related to you?)
Not only was this guy armed like Rambo but he had several bombs strapped to his body. In a telephone conversation with the media he said he built the bombs in about three weeks. "I did a lot of research. I had to experiment." Now, tell me, just how does one "experiment" with bombs. KA-BOOM, yeah that one works.
On his MySpace page the guy said one of his heros was commander James T. Kirk. Oh, sure. That he'd say this on MySpace was appropriate. To use another sci-fi title, this guy was obviously lost in space.
Imagine, taking such drastic measures just because you don't like a television show. What a loser.
What's that? They're renewing American Idol for another season? Jennifer Lopez has signed on to be a judge?
LOCK AND LOAD!!!

It's called a remote, dude. Use it.
But Discovery does need to dump Kate and the kids. Maybe Oprah will take it off the schedule when she takes over.
Kate wearing a glittery top with the neckline so low that her boobs were sticking out and somehow she managed to have her boobs peeking out on the sides of her top as well.
AND she was running around in New York City with the this "top," shorts, and HIGH-HEELS.
For that reason alone, I would want to load a gun.
*BOOM*
hee hee
trouble is, you never get to live your 15 minutes of fame, because you're dead.

Yes, froggies.
It's not often that you hear about a crazed gunman referring to animals the way a 3 year-old would. It kind of takes some of the fear out of the whole thing, you know?
;-)
I have more to say, but my dog just whispered in my ear that it's time for me to take her to meet her friend from the dog planet that's stopping by after a visit to Venus.
1) Actually, it's the air.
2) TV producers are the last to know what reality is. Haven't you seen "Network"?
3) Good luck with that interstellar dog thing. What does a dog from another planet say? "We come in Pekingese!"
Oh, I do love your blog though. Thanks.
I'm glad you were okay with my taking your name in vain. I'm happy I made your short list.
You mean I finally know how to do something computer-ish that other people more computer-y than me don't??? OH HAPPY DAY!
Ok, seriously, to do the hearts, you press the alt key and the 3 at the same time. Won't work without a keypad, tho.
Ummm...do you guys think the hearts are cheesy? I was thinking about dropping them.
(groans in despair at her own bad joke)
AWAY KATE, AWAY!
Anyway, good stuff!
AWAY KATE, AWAY!
