  • Does anybody hate Mondays?  To me they are the worst day of the week.  It seems like nothing goes right, maybe it's the beginning of the week, I'm not sure.  But take for example this past Monday, I felt I couldn't do anything right most importantly I saved my 7 page report to the wrong drive and when I tried to retrieve it I got an error. So I had to do it over again yesterday, and I was shown by the person in the computer lab which drive to save to, what a relief.  I remember I was saying the word fucking alot that night, I hated it, to me I think it's the process of Monday starting the week, once I got settled in, the rest of the week seems to work out and things go as normal, I dread Monday(s) most of the time..


    Not that most people watch Hannity and Colmes, but since I do I notice the structure of the show, it's fascinating to me, in my 3 1/2 years of watching I've summed up the show this way it's a pro-Republican, anti-Democratic show, basically it's a Republican show.  I know there are two hosts, one conservative Sean Hannity and one liberal Alan Colmes, but the format of the show doesn't fit both points of views.  Ask yourself this question, do they put on an equal amount of guests from both sides of the aisle, no, and if the Democratic side is represented they usually have to defend outrageous situations, like outrageous statements said by Al Gore or Hilary Clinton, or even Louis Farakan or a celebrity saying something stupid and if it is a senator or congressman from the Democratic side they are usually portrayed as saying some racial slur or outrageous statement. Also if they get into important issues like immigration and so forth, the guests are mostly Republicans, few Democrats. They actually were kind to a Democrat yesterday, who was from Alaska, who announced he's running for president, he's for things like a fair tax, world government, and immediate removal of troops from Iraq. To me that's the exception more than the rule.  Besides that it's unfair and I think, despite its solid ratings, I think the good majority of people who watch it are conservative, some liberal. But I think liberals/Democrats see these stories and feel offended by the show, so they don't watch it. I watch it just to see if they are fair to both sides and to see the quality of the stories.  The stories put Alan in a difficult situation. If both sides want a fair presentation of their side watch The O'Reilly Factor. Granted while I agree that when they show those stories about these people saying these things, I'll more often than not agree it's wrong, But I think they show a bad representative of what Democrats are all about, both sides do try and work hard on the issues and I hate it when shows like this try and hurt another party, which proves to me in the end Sean Hannity decides what the good majority of stories go on the air, fair, well you decide.
