“CNN sucks. It’s not even news anymore; it’s entertainment. I was trying to watch the news the other day when I decided to turn on CNN and 45 minutes later I came away with the following facts:
- Actress Winona Ryder has been charged with shop lifting.
- It’s shark week on the Discovery Channel.
- The world consists of America and Iraq.
- President Bush is still an idiot.
- The Rolling Stones are on tour.
This is news?” Maddox

When was television ever news? George Garrett (award-winning historical novelist, former poet-laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and co-screenwriter of Frankenstein vs. the Space Monster) once said during a lecture: “It’s not about art. It’s not about entertainment. Television is about advertising.”

Whew… what a comment to find after a week away from the Internet. Thanks for giving me permission not to comment, Anonymous.
Because if that was the case and he just emailed you the answer then technically you wouldn’t ask him the question. If you don’t ask him the question then that’s not the future, so how can he predict something that doesn’t happen? don’t answer.. I just stumbled on this site.
Of all the posts on my blog, one wonders why anyone would choose this one to advertise clairvoyance. Of course, if Mr. Serkani can indeed predict the future, shouldn’t he be able to tell whether or not I or anyone else who reads this blog will contact him, and what we want? If so, why doesn’t he just e-mail me with the answer to the question that he presumably knows I will contact him to ask him about?
Gentleman,
I can predict the future. This ability has awarded to me from God. Please contact me to help you. I can exactly tell you whether or not your investing on something will be beneficial. Please consoul with me in your finincial Projects.
