i'm luke james, bitch!

it was good to hear that dave chappelle isn't crazy and smoking crack, he's just stressed out. it is, i suppose, a bit unprofessional to sign a contract and then disappear on a mental health vacation but then again most people don't dress up like rick james at work either.
so newsweek took back the quran flushing incident story. it's kind of corny to run something like that and then just pull a roseanne rosanadana and say neverrrrminddddd (anyone, anyone, bueller?, bueller?) but does anyone find it that hard to believe? i mean, i wouldn't be shocked if they were wiping their asses with it first.
what's kind of fucked up, though, is that i was watching fox news (a guilty pleasure) and they were coming pretty close to saying if a story is bad for the u.s. you shouldn't run it. they were putting it more like saying you shouldn't use unnamed sources (or at least more than one and, admittedly, i don't know what the protocol on that is) - especially - when it's bad for the u.s.
i think the 'right' media just would as soon never print anything bad about the war in iraq. i mean, fox is just absurdly biased to the point where it's not even really journalism, and they're constantly railing about the 'left wing press' or the 'elite' media's bias to the left. cbs, npr, pbs those are wildly unreliable and biased but fox news is fair and ballanced - especially that HANNITY & colmes.
