OK, here’s where Bubba’s gray matter goes random.
1. From the China View news agency: “There is no problem in the world today, including the Iranian nuclear problem, that has a military solution” states Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Now, far be it from Bubba to say that war is a preferred option. However, when a country starts building materials that could be used in a weapon of mass destruction, and said country has already expressed hatred (not just dislike, but hatred) towards us, I’d have to say that a military solution isn’t exactly too far-fetched. Nope, we really don’t need another war. But if Iran continues to manufacture weapons-grade uranium, Bubba sez we shouldn’t be waitin’ for the next attack before acting.
2. From Yahoo! News/AP: “She said she could envision a day when “you have to show proof to your employer that you’re insured as a part of the job interview — like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination,” but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress” says Democratic Presidential Candidate Hilary Clinton.
What kind of MO-RON do you have to be to suggest this? Most people obtain health insurance through their employer…which means, if I have to have health insurance BEFORE I get a job…holy cow. I think I’m gonna have to lay down after this one. Folks, this candidate wants to either socialize healthcare, or apply so much governmental pressure to health insurers and providers that it will eventually cripple them from doing the job they’re already doing. Please, PLEASE, stop this insanity.
3. From Deadline Hollywood Daily, via The Drudge Report: Kid Nation, a show that will debut as part of CBS’ fall lineup, is a “despicable child exploitation series masquerading as a reality show”. According to the article, there have been injuries to some of the children that participated in the show.
If you haven’t heard of Kid Nation, it’s basically being marketed as a reality show where a group of kids have to manage a town all by themselves, with no adult help whatsoever. 40 kids, 40 days.
I have yet to see what is “despicable child exploitation” about this. I know that when I was growing up, I often wondered how things would go if those pesky adults weren’t around. Well, these kids get to find out. And, I don’t know what injuries happened to these kids, but don’t kids get injured in the normal course of life anyway? The basis of the article written by Nikki Finke is that CBS executives will not get their customary advance screening of this series’ episodes. Maybe Bubba doesn’t have all of the facts, but if the executives don’t get to see this series before broadcast, what information does Nikki have that makes this such a horrible idea? Stay tuned…and count on Bubba to bring ya common sense, no-BS coverage of this series. Should be good!
That’s all for now. Till next time, Bubba sez God bless…and I love ya!
