General Update...

Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has a few items to comment upon tonight before retiring to watch the vile anti-culture that many people call network tv.

First up on the agenda. New Villain approved link on the sidebar. I have added Annika to the list of Villain approved web sites. Annika writes good thoughtful stuff. Read it! And your Maximum Leader also thanks Annika for the link to this site she now displays on her site. Thanks very much. And one last word. I think it is a very cool, perhaps even a brave thing, to put a list of 100 things about yourself up on the web. So, that said, read Annika's site often. As her own rotating tag line states she is "the very best in bra-less blogging."

Next up, California. Is it just your Maximum Leader is does Fox News Channel really have such a dramatically different take on news than the big three networks and CNN? Today, in the few minutes he watched Fox discuss the California Recall Candidate's debate the consensus seemed to be that Arh-nold did well and gained support. He certainly did gain the support of Bill Simon and many Republican County Chairmen. So, if you listen to Fox, one would think that Arh-nold is the big winner.

If you listen to the big three (or should I say the ever diminishing three - since news ratings continue to drop) and CNN, I would be inclinded to think that Arianna Huffington made out like a winner. All you hear about is how she came out with all guns blazing and scored points. To listen to CNN Arh-nold seemed to be a loser, McClintock a bore, Bustamente a patronizing teacher, and the others non-entities.

I watched some of the debate on C-Span. I thought that McClintock sounded like he knew what the hell was going on. (Even if you don't like his politics.) Arh-nold wanted to exceed expectations and not screw up. Bustamente might have well sighed in an Al Gore way for better effect. And Arianna sounded slightly insane.

Ah well.... Say what you like. It is entertaining politics. And in a rather twisted way, it might promote political participation down the road among Californians and all Americans by raising overall political awareness. Then again, it is football season and the baseball playoffs are just around the corner...

I would like to blog more. But the Villainettes are not well and I must tend to them.

Carry on my minions.
