Continuing his unbroken string of idiocy, Chris Martin from Coldplay once again vastly overestimates his own importance.
Maybe you couldn't blame some people for lapsing into a bit of overstatement during yesterday's marathon Live 8 pile-on."This is the greatest rock show in the history of the world," trumpeted an announcer at the start of the London concert, which kicked off AOLmusic's global feed of this extremely long event.
This is "the single most important concert ever," gushed a deejay on XM Satellite Radio, which carried the world's concerts on seven distinct channels.
Not to be outdone, Coldplay's Chris Martin announced from the London stage, "[This is] the greatest thing that's ever been organized in the history of the world."
The people behind the moon landing and the creation of the Sphinx might beg to differ with that.
Unbelievable. I can't recall any rightists ever trumpeting their meager accomplishments the way modern leftists do. If Chris Martin wasn't so blatantly ignorant and purposeless his moronic pronouncement would rank right up there with Kofi Annan's for sheer audacity. And lest one think that Chris Martin and his ilk are less blameworthy than Kofi and the UN, just remember that the vast majority of foreign aid is used by tyrants to hold their people in slavery.
Since I started using my elliptical machine a few weeks ago I've been watching Fox News several times a week... is it just me, or has the station turned into all-missing-people all-the-time? It's like watching the back of a milk carton. Despite the sympathy I feel for the families of the handful of missing people that are highlighted, there is other news that will impact my life much more, that I'm far more interested in. Do we need yet another report on the legal status of Joren van der Sloot and the difference between the American and Dutch legal systems? How about instead doing profiles about the half-dozen jurists President Bush is considering for the Supreme Court?
Oh well, they'll broadcast whatever gets the ratings I guess.
