I said that the media spins in favor of Bush and Cheney? Me?

December 20, 2004 By pia

As a person with few positive virtues except for recyclying, and a propensity for overtipping, I tend to overlook nasty comments and behavior.

I mean, I do most of my grocery shopping in a store (Fairway, the original) where many people don’t consider it a good day unless they curse at ten people, hit your cart, hit you, blame it on you and then sneak ahead of you on line while cursing you.

I gauge my moods from how I react to Fairway and this past year it’s been with much amusement.

One thing gets to me: I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it–people who comment without really reading the post. My favorite person, anonymous said that I think the media spins in favor of Bush and Cheney.

I don’t watch Fox News nor do I read the New York Post on a regular basis. If I did then, yeah, I think I might say that.

My post linked to an article in The New York Times which was talking about how Bush relates to Kerik. I said that I disagreed with something in the article. That wasn’t saying that I thought the article in anyway endorsed Bush (and Cheney wasn’t even mentioned.) Actually the article had a distinct anti-Bush undertone.

I love the printed word; I love to read and it upsets me when people take a quick look at something and make a decision based on a word, a sentence, a paragraph. Few things upset me as much as that.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
