Monday Hate List

Time once again to see what Out Of Tune is hating this week:

Sean Hannity. Have you ever wondered what would happen if that crazy, racist, sexist homophobic ass-hole uncle, who spouts off on what he thinks is wrong with the world after a few too many beers at family gatherings, got his own TV show? Now you know.

American football. It is baseball season dammit, I'm sick of NFL "mini-camp" news interrupting my baseball highlights on SportsCenter. At the end of the day, I want to catch up on what happened in the real American sport and not have to see any news on what is happening in that silly game of catchy-throwy.

Intelligent Design. The idea that someone can actually believe in this nonsense astounds me. As someone who will be the parent of a school-age child in about 7 years it frightens me that some crazy people are going to try to push this on her. I'm not going to your church and preaching science, so stop trying to teach religion in our science classes.

Former GE CEO Jack Welch. I was watching this jackass being interviewed the other day claiming that Bush has done nothing to hurt America's reputation around the world. He claims to know this because he travels around the world and the people he meets love America and Bush. This dumb ass fails to mention that all the people he talks to overseas are nothing but heads of state and multimillionaire businessmen like himself. He should climb out of his ivory tower and talk to the people who have to actually work for a living sometime. He might see a different point of view about the American government.

The silly accusation of "elitism".

Anyone who is against gay marriage. Seriously? You actually give a crap if two guys you don't even know marry each other? And don't even try that stupid argument of comparing it to polygamy, child molesting and bestiality you ignorant bigot.

That George Carlin will be be given a small fraction of the tributes afforded that journalistic hack Tim Russert. The death of a great social commentator will be reduced to a one-day story, mentioned in 30-second segments and mostly focusing on his "seven words" bit from over 30 years ago.

Whatever those hand-held video games are that people play on the subway. You ever heard of a book?

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. I hope this needs no explanation.
