There are eight million stories in the Naked City (No Bullshit, Please)

I decided to answer Nicholas D. Kristof's question on Facebook.
Here's the Times story about Greg Mortenson and his schools. I find this whole issue heart-breaking. I've visited his schools and really admired the way they were set up. Greg does some great work, no question. But these allegations are very serious, and they need direct answers and better, detailed answers. Your thoughts?
 Some guy  Frederick Lang commented. I get what he means but I do not agree. What I said:
I can't buy Frederick Lang's view, "This man may be flawed, but his vision certainly is an inspiration." If the guy is full of bullshit, no matter how good his goal is, he is still full of bullshit. Some guy hoodwinked Oprah, who peddled the bullshit unknowingly. How many newspapers have published incredible stories only to learn the reporter made up the people he interviewed? Bullshit artists have worked for the best of newspapers. Jayson Blair. Rick Bragg. Stephen Glass. Gerald Posner. Bullshit. Then you have the guys who get on network TV and pretend they have no political bias. Bullshit journalism is what counts as truth. "There are eight million stories in the Naked City..." and yet, these corrupt asses still make up their own.

I am on Facebook, spilling truth, justice and the American way.

People Cry About Themselves Too Much

There aren't enough men on this planet. No balls. I think men have been emasculated by the women. The women took the men's balls and ground them up into powder. No, no. That's not right. The men snipped them off themselves. What? Right. Exactly what I said. I look at my buddies. Besides being wankers who want to hit the pub every night to look at girls they never ask out, I see them moaning about everything. Yeah, I harp on the whiners too much. I think these guys, who claim to be conservatives, are really yellow-bellied liberals. Little bitches. They love to bitch about life and politics, but go home and wank instead of taking action.

If I Were King of the World

If I were king of the world, I wouldn't buy you roses. I'd buy you a beer. Then I'd make some changes. I'd turn off your radio. Or make it only music. And Yankees games. I hate getting into a taxi or bus having to listen to some rich guy's opinion. I read the paper. I don't need to hear how Obama is going to ruin the world. Right. He won't. I don't need to hear Bush ruined it either. Everybody I know who gets sucked into soap opera talk radio has a pissed on attitude. Happy people got better things to do. I'd force the USA to import European beer. What's with the crap we make? I want to buy American just like any red blooded American man, but Bud is scamming people into drinking piss water. Same thing with cars. The USA used make a decent vehicle. Now, Japan, a tiny little island is kicking our tushies. Dude! I'd make the Yankees automatic World Series entries. Face it, your team sucks. I'll let the rest of the American and Na

Bah Humbug - Why People Who Believe in Jesus Aren't Worth a Pinch of Salt

I had one person respond here all in a pissy fit that I have no time for religion. Religion is fine. I don't care. It is part of America's freedom, and I'm the last guy to want to take that away from you. But let me tell you, I groan when I hear or read someone upset that I think holy rollers have it wrong. I'll lay it out for you. There are a few kinds of holy rollers. I'm not talking denominations and whatever. That's an entirely different something. I'm talking personality types. All but one do not have my respect. See the last category. Some cram what they believe down your throat. Every conversation has an agenda. Why don't you just join Amway? I'm not talking about the guy with the bullhorn the cops keep chasing out of Times Square. I'm talking about people I know. They don't want me to be their friend. They want me to be their little project. Get bent.   Some say they believe xyz and then live abc. Forget that noise. You don'
