Live Earth was a distraction - I think cheney was behind it
All those people watching it were not spending their time pouring over negative news about bush.

cheney is a genius, let me tell ya.

We were so busy singing and buying better light bulbs that we didn't notice the other news this weekend that would bring down bush in 2 secs flat.

And now I am starting to think Gore is working for cheney to help distract us from the real news.

Yeah...that's the ticket!

:rofl:

1. It's frustrating, isn't it?
There was one particularly terrible story in GD earlier today that didn't relate to *. The second or third post replying directly to the OP was the first in what I'm sure was many "you're just distracting from the real news" replies, in an incredibly vicious tone, going so far as to reuse a phrase from the original.

I don't care to go over all the details here - suffice it to say that it was certainly news-worthy in its viciousness, even as it had nothing to do with politics or */Cheney in the least.

3. I am - it got interesting too:
My dogs dug up some of it with my daughter, then my one dog laid in the hole and went to sleep.

I kept waiting on the live earth to get pissed and bury his ass, but it just laid there.

If this live earth gets any more boring I am gonna turn on my TV and see what is on it. Why all these people spent their weekend watching their live earth I will never know....

So that folks would spend all their outrage on that.

edit: the typo queen strikes again!
