while Katey Segal's character and the voices of Zoidberg and the Professor are weak at best, and irritating more often than not
I love Zoidberg. He's my second favorite character( after Bender, of course). I don't even think it's going out on a limb to say his voice is pretty good, too.
7-7:30 on the east coast. But regardless of your timezone (except for the west coast maybe), Futurama probably got shafted by football games regardless.
Yup. I guess mt poorly stated point was that the show was on almost two hours before the Simpsons, when people weren't ready to veg in front of the TV yet.
Bush made a mockery of elections. This was worse, no?
I don't hate democrats though I think they are wrong.
I am really attracted to the Republican idea that government should be smaller and that free markets should sort most things out. However, it does not seem to work that way when the Republicans get in office. Bush has expanded our government and raised spending while also giving a tax break to those who NEED it the least (notice I didn't say deserve - at least that's debatable).
Even taking my comments aside, the less government argument ignores that we don't live in a Utopia. We rely on the government for all kinds of services and protections. What I think ticks most people off is that these protections and intrusions seem to be infringing on the common folk more than the large corps in order to protect the large corp. interests and money. The Republican argument that this trickles down is laughable, and we are seeing more and more every day how worthwhile it is for these folks to lay off their employees, mislead their investors, and take the extra pay home themselves.
I am becoming more and more convinced that the Republicans really want less government that would give a leg up to all Americans, while more government involvement will appear when large interests want to protect their power.
I strongly dislike Clinton because as the leader of our nation he is held to a higher standard and should be.
And Bush passes this higher standard? No way. Like his opponent in the 2000 election, he is a child of privilege. Unlike his opponent in that election, he was quite mediocre academically and did not have nearly as much experience in public service.
Also, while we're talking about high standards, Slick Willy said he didn't inhale. Bush refused to answer questions about his past drug use directly. He also failed to mention the DUI in Maine. While we can't prosecute him for these misleadings, should we consider them less immoral?
2) Lied under oath.
Forgive me if you see this as stretching a bit, but I think using not yet officially discredited info (that is known to be shaky at best) as an amotional provocation to justify a WAR (in your biggest speech of the year) is at least as horrible as lying under oath about getting a hummer.
He has no right to bitch? WTF? He has every right to bitch if he voted. No matter who he voted for. Yes, but Bush's attitude after being elected is no surprise. It was always fairly obvious he didn't really earn his position. If he didn't earn his way then who did? Big business maybe? Special interests of the monied kind? This guy somehow feels conned, but only because he didn't pay attention to the obvious warning signs("Strategery", "Major League Asshole", lower GPA than befitting a President, etc.). Slick Willy was one, but at least he spent most of his life prepping to become a public servant. However disgraceful his corporate giveaways may have been, at least it was plausible he was going to fight for the interests of all the American people.
On a side, but related note, do you expect a person to agree with every single policy a president supports even after they helped vote him in office?? Nope. It never happens. But, like I said above, it seemed fairly obvious this guy didn't make it as far as he did fighting for the little guy.
Quit being so struthious. Oh shit, where's the dictionary? It seems to me that people who voted for Bush and are surprised at his favoritism towards big money have been behaving rather struthiously (Did me use fancy word good?).
BTW: I voted, as well and bitch I will. I think W is a sucky Prez. Worse than that, I feel like he doesn't give one tex-mex turd about myself or others in this country that don't have a lot of dough. I don't believe he possesses the passion or wisdom required of a President and therefore don't believe he is actually passionate about 'his' agenda. This can only lead me to believe that he doesn't actually set or stand by his agenda. I also think this was pretty obvious from the get-go, necessitating the "Amen" post above.

Woop Woop Woop.

Futurama was on at like 5:30 in Texas. They used to run it BEFORE the reruns of The Simpsons and KOTH on Sunday evening.
