Lost and Fox News
First, Lost was excellent last night. To quote a friend, it totally won me back. The nice little ocean town, the book club (Is it a flashback? Who are these people? And then the plane breaks up in mid-air! It was scary and awful-once again, Lost gave me a creepy shiver, which it continued to do throughout the episode. Was Jack really underwater? How did they manage to shut the door on all that water? I hear pushing the ocean back is kind of hard...And why were Kate's wrists all banged up from the cuffs? Did she fight? Was she raped? Did she just chafe against the cuffs a lot? And Sawyer gets to be the smart-ass mouse, running the maze to get the piece of cheese...I liked the exchange-"it tooks the bears two hours.
Yeah? How many were there?".
I don't trust those Others at all-Juliet is working on Jack, Henry is working on Kate and Sawyer is being tested (well, I guess they all are). If these people tell you that the next two weeks will be hard, you should expect difficult times ahead. And the Jack's flashbacks were really good to-Matthew Fox was very good in this episode-upset, crazy, distrusting and always thinking...
Anyway, like I said, they won me over, again.
And here's a little piece of horror, courtesy of Gawker and Fox News
We like to think that we're pretty much unshockable -- especially when it comes to, say, Fox News. But prepare to have not just your socks knocked off, but also your feet, legs, groin, and thorax. Infamous hatepreacher Fred Phelps -- the Godhatesfags.com guy whose congregation of lunatics routinely pickets the funerals of gays, soldiers, miners, or pretty much anyone dead -- has threatened to picket today's funerals for four of the five Amish girls murdered in Pennsylvania on Monday. Phelps's daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, explained thusly:
"Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls -- blah, blah, blah -- they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."Rather than the simple Witness-style response-beating this situation calls for, Fox News has come to the rescue. In exchange for the Phelps freskhow's pledge to stay away from the Amish funerals, Fox is offering them an hour of radio time on Mike Gallagher's show. Perhaps hard-core Fox fans won't really notice the dogmatic difference, but if there was any particular polyp of decency left on the Fox organization, it just shriveled up and dropped off. That said, we'd like to know what atrocities we can threaten in order to get our own Fox timeslot.

My favorite phrase for the past five years has been "what's wrong with you?" It works in a vaiety of situations and is more than applicable here on those sides. The anti gay people think the Amish don't serve God? That would be, they don't serve God how YOU serve God, so they're wrong. And Fox News caved to them! I never thought they had much credibility anyway, but I think now it's in the realm of the ridiculous-which wasn't that far a leap for them, actually.
