Against the grain

[SPazzo]

I prefer short hair on women.

I'm the same way.  I also like brunettes.

looks GREAT, but what is the fat content??  esp. the one with cream cheese BETWEEN two slices?

The one that intrigues me is the pizza with sausages rolled in the crust. Now, if they could just combine that with the double-layer cream cheese crust, they'd really have something.

I speak from experience when I say that the pizza with the sausages in the crust is great. Not to be eaten too often, but it is nice.

I love women. Full stop. Their hair colour has nothing to do with it.

I've seen some stunning ladies in every colour (most natural, some not) and length (from floor length to cueball), but I have to agree, short brunette hair looks best to me in general. Sorry Paula.

I don't loathe MST3K but I do feel it's dumb humour...the type almost any hack can do and I'm sure almost all of us posting here have done similar from time to time and I suspect many can probably do it far better than these guys. It's easy to pick apart most low budget B-movie after all. What I find funny is most modern day blockbusters are every bit as deserving of mockery if not moreso. Thing is, talking back at a movie well does come off as, well...rude.

Okay, how about THIS for against the grain? 

I LIKE watching The O'Reilly Factor.  I don't always agree with the guy, and I think he takes some stories way too seriously (and sometimes personally), but I like that he states his opinions directly, is not afraid to put on people who disagree with him, and that he stands up for stories and causes most of the media tends to ignore, and, unlike a certain other notable news commentator on another station, he doesn't try and boost sagging ratings by insulting his competitors.

There, I said it.

[Mr. DS]

I absolutely can not stand Phil Collins or anything he's involved in.  Same thing goes for Bruce Hornsby.  To me these two are the equivalent of musical paint drying on a wall.

Rush Limbaugh, do I have to say more?

Rush Limbaugh, do I have to say more?

Well yeah. Do you like the guy or dislike the guy, otherwise how is it that you're "going against the grain"?

Then you're most certainly going with the grain.

Then I will go against the grain and say this:

However abrasive his on-air persona may be, he is right more often than he is wrong.

O'Reilly is a gigantic, self-aggrandizing ***hole, but sometimes I like him too.  He's the only pundit on Fox who I think can be convinced by a reasonable argument against his current opinion (that is to say, he actually listens and considers what people have to say, some of the time at least).  He has admitted he was wrong about things, generally sticks to his word, and weasels less than most.

I might add that he DOES insult lots of people, including his competitors.  Usually not quite as directly as someone like Olberman though.

I don't like him on his TV show at all, but I've listened to his radio show a few times and I find he's more thoughtful, reasonable, and moderate.  I suspect he purposefully plays up the obnoxiousness for TV ratings, but the radio shows his real personality more.
