Rage of the Skinny Jeans!

London - To paraphrase the great Austin Powers:  "Only two things in the world scare me and nuclear war is one of them.  What is the other thing you ask?  A man in skinny jeans."  It was an unnatural combination that was just bursting at the seams, literally.  Is this what the left wing protesting machine has come to, using the power of the skinny jean?  This is similar to the desperation the Nazis exhibited towards the end WWII by using old men and young boys to fight the allied forces.  Maybe the guy in skinny jeans wouldn't have to worry about the government cutting off his welfare state if he actually wore clothes that made him look respectable enough to get a better paying job, or even a job in the first place so he could afford to pay his way through life.  It's like the hippies who protested during the 1960s because they felt that America wasn't listening to their concerns.  If you look like a caveman whose only concern is finding the next Bob Dylan concert or mooching a hit off of someone's doobie, you shouldn't expect the government to pay much attention to your needs as a citizen.  Sorry, but that's just how the real world works.  The real world doesn't bow down at your every need.  Looking like a dope slacker may be cool in college, but on the day of your first job interview, I suggest a wardrobe change.  I thought it was JFK, the great Democrat hero, that once urged us to ask not what the country could do for us, but what we could do for our country.  This ain't my grandpa's Democrat party.        
     Skinny jeans aside, we once again have an example of how liberal thinking people and conservative thinking people differ, but you wouldn't know it by the media.  It would be refreshing if an NBC or a CBS or CNN differentiated between Tea Partiers and these liberal protesters, but I wouldn't hold my breath. In fact, CNN.com homepage's major headlines at 2:40PM (CST) read:  "Woman says Libyan Forces Raped Her" and "Ferraro dies at 75"...MSNBC's headlines read:  "Libyan Rebels Take Key City in the East" and a rotating image montage to Ferraro.  The HuffingtonPost's headline reads:  "Gaddafi Retreats!" and FoxNews.com wasn't giving any attention to the mass riots in London at that time, either.  Their headline this afternoon was about Ferraro as well.  But the site that takes the prize with the least coverage, goes to CBSNEWS.com.  Not only are the riots not making headlines, it doesn't even make the dozen plus list of "hot topics" links.  But have no fear, all the above listed news sources are wasting no time telling you of the progress being made by the "we may know on Monday what we are doing there" mission in Libya.
     So I ask the media:  If you call the Tea Party dangerous and violent, what do you call the liberal protests in the UK?  It if obvious that the media approves the liberal agenda behind the violent protests in London, while they disagree with the agenda of the Tea Party.  Prediction:  The media will use a 'wait and see' approach with these protests in London because they won't wan to "cast judgement".  However, when a shooting takes place, the media jumps on suggesting that it was a right winger.  Just ask yourself:  What if Saturday's protesters were part of the tea party rioting for lower taxes?
