So far, so good. I really like 'Breaking Bad' and it goes without saying that Bryan Cranston really did shine as his best role ever. Watch out for Aaron Paul, I think that kid has true potential for a serious acting career in film. 'Modern Family' is the best sitcom that we currently have and I think it duly deserves an Emmy no doubt.

And I am glad to say that none of these winners made me cringe and I'm in pleasantly agreement with all of the winners as they all did a great job giving us some great television. These awards also go to show us that old-fashion TV is still very much relevant, even more so than online entertainment than one might expect.

But let's see what pops up in the coming years and I hope that we get to see less garbage on our small screens, we already got enough of that right FOX?



Supporters for Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson were able to raise more than $400K

As the black community mourns the death of Michael Brown whites across America have been able to raise some good amount of cabbage to the tune of $400,000 in support of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, the cop who shot Brown to death.

I'm trying to figure out why these white conservative teabaggers would want to raise that much cash being that officer Wilson is still being paid his salary and his legal fees will be paid by the Police Union. Lets remember: these are the same white teabaggers who protest against a black President over "government overreach" yet applaud and defend with money suspected "government overreach" when it kills a black teenager.

I am just trying to put this all into a political perspective, if you don't mind, while withholding from determining if Wilson committed a crime until the jury hears all the evidence. But still this whole support for officer Wilson seems kinda suspicious to me as these same white conservative teabaggers claim we must withhold from making any determinations on the case until the jury hears all the evidence and are now claiming that Wilson killing Michael Brown was justified before the jury has a chance to even look at the bloody evidence.

Wilson is getting the financial support from the force and his union that he needs, the entirety of the facts of the case are not fully disclosed yet, and all of sudden anti "government overreach" white teabaggers are financially supporting suspected "government overreach" when a black teenager is killed. What could really be behind the motives of these white teabaggers? Anybody wanna take a guess?

Meanwhile here's the video report:
