Dancing with Dogs: Is this man bitter or what?

Is this man bitter or what?

Is Shania Twain Human? / In which the timeless question is posed: Why is this adorably terse and sexless pop diva so famous?

And you can bet some Super Bowl producer somewhere said to these latter acts, hey, why not make it easy on yourselves and just lip-synch to a tape, like Shania does, no one will really care, ain't like it's Carnegie Hall or anything, not like anyone in the openly deceitful ShrubCo era expects anything more.
.............
and of course there's not a single thing wrong with that, except that it's completely and depressingly disingenuous and hollow and sad and in an oil-drunk ShrubCo world, it feels like exactly the last thing we really need.
....................
Much like ShrubCo's blatant warmongering, much like Cheney barely trying to conceal the outright oily corporatization of our nation and its war interests, much like a gov't that doesn't even pretend to conceal its true draconian motives

Somebody, hurry up get this poor man some prozac. I have seen my share of bitter people but never someone so self-congratulatory, ill-informed, fact-twisting, I-said-Ha-Ha-I-am-so-cool person as this one. I feel sorry for him. I really do. As a person, I derive pleasure not from berating people or hating them passionately. I see the innate goodness in most people and even if I don't agree with some, I have no doubt as to their intentions, even if they are going about implementing them in a wrong way. I am a happy being. I get my joy and happiness from the people close to me, my pets and my friends. I don't need to call everybody who doesn't agree with me names to feel all intellectual and satisfied. I feel sorry for Morford. I really do.
