What is the most annoying aspect of the FOX Sports coverage of baseball?
NOSTRIL CAM!
For some reason the Fox directors think that zooming in on the face of players is good coverage. Personally I don't have much need to see up the left nostril of a baseball player, especially not so close I can count the nostril hairs. Most plays by baseball players do not involve the face, mostly they do involve arms and legs though, so it seems to me those ought to be in the picture. With the FOX method you seldom actually see a play until the instant replay. [sigh]
Just my opinion. :-P
As a side note, I think I finally figured out what FOX actually stands for:
Fascist
Oligarchs and
Xenophobes
That's for their news department of course.
Why Are Some American Christians So Bloodthirsty?
Understanding Pro-war Christians' Indifference to Civilian Deaths by Dr. Teresa Whitehurst.
This article explains why so many "Christians" are in favor of mass murder and torture. I still find it totally incomprehensible myself. I mean, how can anyone read the words of Jesus and then support a war, especially one so clearly evil as the one being waged now?
I can't even see Jesus supporting a defensive war, but an offensive war is totally out of the question. Ah well, I suppose I lack imagination enough to grasp subtle points like how "Turn the other cheek" really means kill kill kill.
In any case I urge you to click on the link in the title and read Dr. Whitehurst's article, it is well worth the read.
