It gets more and more tiresome to see the hacks, wingnuts, Republican apologists, and tut-tutting purveyors of conventional wisdom (and outright bullshit artists) they feel compelled to trot out every Sunday. Was I just uninformed and naive back in the olden days when I’d watch these shows, and think I was actually getting some news and intelligent discussion? Now, it’s all I can do to read the guest lists – let alone torture myself by watching these chowderheaded urinalists and their quacking guests giggle, titter, sigh, and scoff through these shows with feigned indignation and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge of self-important “Washington Insiders.” If I have to hear these clueless, isolated, elitist bastards tell me what “the American people” want one more time, I think I’ll fucking scream. But anyways….
On Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead tries to pretend he has any credibility whatsoever left, as he hosts a Steny Boehner “exclusive” debate on sending more kids over to Iraq (the sooner the better, too, now that they’re getting pretty good at shooting down our helicopters). Then it’s an especially dreadful collection of skags, headed by “Dean” David Broder (he’s kind of a cross between Yoda and the fluke man from the X-Files), who will be accompanied by the administration-friendly Gwen Ifill, that two-dollar whore “journalist” Howard Kurtz, and flatulent hack writer, Roger Simon. :barf: Gee, that’s worth getting up early to watch.
It isn’t much better over at Faze the Nation, with bush buddy Bobby Schieffer hosting Chris Dodd and Senator Brylcreem, Trent Lott. Plus, whiny Republican transcriptionist, John Harris.
Over at Fux News Sunday, did Pentagon officials illegally produce their own fake intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq? Hell no, and Doug Feith will be on to prove it. Plus, weaselface Wallace hosts head Senate Republican asshole, Mitch “the prick” McConnell, on to talk about how the evil Democrat party hates our troops, and how the brave, righteous Republicans are gonna stand up and defeat them – no matter how many American kids (let alone Iraqi civilians) have to go die in Iraq to do it. Oh, there’ll be token Democrat Jack Reed from RI, for fairness and balance. Also, I hear-tell the weaselly one will talk about Republican plane envy, and Nancy Pelosi demanding a flying cruise ship.
Over at Goebbels, George Snufalufagus boasts an EXCLUSIVE with, um, John Kerry. Really? John Kerry? 😕 OK, well, then it’s former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee Hound. He may not get the same publicity as the “top-tier” Republicans, but he’s just as fucking racist and crazy (and, since those wingnuts just can’t get enough of their fundamentalist evangelical Kristians, he’s not a bad bet for the nomination). Around the round table, it’s little Robbie Reich, ABC News whore Cokie “the Hag” Roberts and George :jerk: Will, and then Sean Penn will be on to talk about the failed court-martial of Ehren Watada.
On CNN’s Late Emission with Wolf Blitzer, it’s Ron Wyden of Oregon, batshit crazy (even for a Texas politician) John Cornyn, Duncan “Donuts” Hunter, Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan (remember Afghanistan?), and everybody’s favorite Syracusan, Terry McAuliffe.
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s Obamamania with Steve Kroft, Scott Pelley tells us about a mentally ill prison inmate who died of thirst after being restrained for 17 straight hours (a mere 15 hours past what the policy allowed), and then, you just gotta take the good with the bad. If you wanna see Norah Jones, you’ll have to suffer through Katie Couric interviewing her.
For anybody who actually gives a shit, the Grammy Awards are on after 60 Minutes, or you can watch all new episodes of the Simpsons, King of the Hill (Peggy Hill uses a Mac, by the way – just sayin’), Family Guy, and American Dad. And there are also new Dresden Files, and Battlestar Galactica. Enjoy your Sunday.

Mean while most of those living in reality are beginning to see that everything is FUBAR
:barf: :barf:
Speaking of FUBAR Northern NY state is supposed to get even more snow..
Most of the news is about the Reich wing media and even the Australian PM putting out lies and half truths about Obama and that we are prepping to attack Iran in April ..
Our favorite NYT reporter who got Iraq wrong is also getting Iran wrong.. One would think that they might learn but not having received any penalty for there lies and probably lots of money they just make things even more FUBAR
prepping to attack Iran in April .. of course. 🙄 Great time for War. :fustrate: 😡 :fustrate: :rant1: :fustrate:

-As first dates go, this one didn’t end well. A male polar bear who was trying to court a female polar bear apparently pushed her over the edge of a 14-foot drop while playing this week, Memphis Zoo officials said.
Cranbeary, the 5-year-old female, had surgery Saturday to insert two steel plates and 26 screws to repair a broken leg.
Payton, the 3-year-old male, is on loan from the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois as part of a breeding program. This may be both bears’ first romance, and it got a little awkward, said Matt Thompson, mammal curator.
Zoo officials said Cranbeary is in heat, which could have led to Payton’s aggressive behavior. A visitor reported seeing him tussling with her atop the cliff before she fell.
Cranbeary will stay in her cage for at least 10 weeks until her leg is strong enough to return to the exhibit, zoo officials said.

OMG, I made the mistake of watching just one segment of Chis Matthews on which Joe Klein said that RUDY WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL MAYOR.
Aren’t these guys embarrassed by being so ignorant. Our “experts” don’t even bother learning the facts.
Yesterday, I heard somebody claim that Rudy cleaned up NY. Nobody wants to attack Rudy. Conventional wisdom holds that the person who attacks Rudy will hurt himself as well and that the beneficiary will be a third person.
Hubby envisions an add with Rudy’s latest wife standing in front of the white house and mimmicking Rudy’s previous wife complaining about his affair and refusing to move out of the whitehouse in order to let the girlfriend in.
Greetings All Tea :joe: Cheers Awwwwwwww I didn’t get to listen to this week to Thom, so it is nice to hear :ear: now. Cool 8) a.i.v.
SueP – It’s way unfortunate… but people who did not live in the city during the Rudy regime really have no clue what it was like. Even my father in law, who is on the correct side of the fence, thought he was a good mayor. I really fear that this man can be our next president. Most people think he’s “middle ground”.
Sue P :rofl2: , I can no longer listen since I have heard from SF to LA to Mountains to here ( 😮 there are other States I travelled also) since a lil :pup: to now 🙄 = Talking Heads :jerk: s . This site gave me a respite at times to listen and other times with Everyone’s (Arrogant .

Good Morning Druid!
Rudy is as bullheaded as Bush. He also has a well honed ability to polarize people along racial lines as well as political ones.
I will always remember Rudy’s solution to Manhattan traffic: putting up metal pedestrian barriers so that one had to walk several blocks before crossing to the other side of the street. It didn’t improve traffic but it sure pissed everyone off.
Rudy, of course, never relented. Bloomberg, quickly and quietly removed them and instituted no-turn thru streets which have helped.
Can someone PLEASE do the vulcan mind mold on me? These anatomy facts are going through my brain like water.
Shame on me, I gave my Voodoo Rudy doll to a friend who needed a place to stick a few pins. I will have to get a new one. But, I’ve always felt guilty about Rudy’s prostate cancer, knowing where it was that a few of those pins were stuck.
SueP – did you ever stick pins in the bush voodoo doll?
Sticking pins in Bush is not as effective because Bush does a good job of sticking pins in himself and the whole Rethug party.
How about putting the bush voodoo doll behind bars, tied up in some sexual position… no pins needed.
I like the prison idea, But never forget that Bush is a Rethug and they seem to like S&M so I’d be loathe to give him any pleasure.
Cheers Jenn 😉 and it is snowing up there too and studing 😮 :rofl2: 😉 … My Brain No Help — I am Stuck in a Myopic Stare as to what I am working on and looking at rather :doh: when PJ tells me some computer (bad computer :spank: ) info I say … huh … ( I just need to be spoken to like a stubborn 3 yr old — and only a few knew that “lanuguage” :rofl2: — :knit2: but not the info PJ Knew.) :heavy sigh: 🙄 I will Do :growl: some TIME.

BTW – did you guys know that the pet stores throw out those cat carrying cases by the tons! Yes the same ones we buy at very high prices. (willow brook mall does any way) They bring the new pets in, and throw out the cases.
So if you’re by a dumpster the next time your mall pet store has a delivery go check it out.

Hi farmerkat – sounds like religous war. (that pisses me off too.)
yep, there’s a letter to the editor in our local paper saying how only evangelicals are the only intellectual ones because they believe in revelations and realize the Iraq war is to kill all the Muslims in Iraq and the entire Middle East – these people are totally freaking me out these days. :tinfoil:
Conservationists in Nepal have opened a special “restaurant†to offer safe food to vultures, whose existence is being threatened because they feed on carcasses of cattle treated with drugs.
Scientists say South Asia’s vultures are on the brink of extinction largely because farmers treat their cattle with diclofenac, a drug that relieves fever and lameness, poisoning the scavenging vultures one step up the food chain.

The bird count sounds like fun. I will certainly participate. And, the cats, who are great ornithologists from the inside windowsill can help.
My cats are committed gravitologists as well. They periodically check that gravity is still working properly by pushing something I thought was secure from a high shelf.

Comment by Sue P — February 11, 2007 @ 10:22 am
Interesting that PJ kicked off the thread with his well-deserved diatribe against the Sunday-morning gasbags. I haven’t seen much of these shows the last several weeks, as I’ve been getting up early on Saturdays to catch up on movies. The multiplex in downtown St Pete starts them at 10 AM, so if I time it out right, I can make a double-feature and still get home by late afternoon. Sunday morning then becomes catch-up time for snooze.
Sadly, my body rebelled and played catch-up on Saturday this weekend, causing two bad things to occur:
1) I missed seeing Volver once again, which pains me because not only is Penelope Cruz :hot: , she and I share a birthday. Next weekend for sure, mi amor. :hubba:
2) I got up in time to watch the gasbag parade this morning.
Is it just my imagination, running away with me, or is Timmy Potatohead growing a purple nose? It’s always been large and bulbous, but this morning it looked a lot more bruised than usual. Maybe one of Dick Cheney’s goons punched Russert out after his testimony in the Scooter Libby trial. Not that Cheney has a history of dishing out shots to the face or anything like that.
Sue, you watched Chris Matthews this morning, so you can back me up on this. Does Norah O’Donnell have the world’s scariest laugh or what? With that cackle, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if one or both of her twins comes out of the womb with horns and a tail.
:omg:
Then I caught To The Contrary for the first time in years. I used to enjoy watching this show, but today’s episode seemed like The McLaughlin Group on estrogen. (Sorry, Eleanor Clift.) A discussion does not have to be a shouting match, even during sweeps. Does PBS even program for sweeps in the first place? Yikes.
Next Sunday morning, I will be undergoing a thorough examination of the insides of my eyelids. It will be a much better investment of my time.
:nana:
And can Press the Meat not trot out Dean Wormer, I mean Broder, anymore? The man finishes a sentence like he’s walking the last mile toward his execution and wants to make it last as long as possible. It’s only an hour show, for Pete’s sake.
He made some asinine remark during the Obama discussion reminiscing about “when I covered JFK’s campaign.” Shit, he probably covered Lincoln’s campaign before that.
At least when his opinions annoy me in the newspaper, I can turn the page. (Is it too late for a Mark Foley joke?) 😀
Aren’t you guys glad I can post on Sundays again?
:rofl2:
Farmerkat :no: … :pirate: :pup:

Grand National Championship is on the air tonight 8 pm CENTRAL time on FreeRadioSAIC.org
Not going to podcast the first few weeks so get your asses (or your replay tv things) there on time!
Hey Gang!
Farmerkat, if you’re getting letters like that published in the local paper it’s time to move. I can see you and MR moving to Philly. Just picture yourself in a 300 year old townhouse in Olde City.
PS I love it when Painting Girl talks dirty. :hubba:
yeah, I agree Andy.
YES! I love that you’re posting on Sundays, Kev!
in my quest for the perfect browser, I’m now using Opera. Thus far this is the cleanest fastest no-brainer one yet.
Yep, Opera is the bestest. It’s had tabbed browsing for years, and it’s the fastest. If only they had an adblock extension.
teen installed a new router so between the two, it finally feels like I have dsl.
Since it’s Sunday and I’m feeling like a good heathen.
KPTK never posted Sam’s show from friday. Can anyone update me on Marc? Is he going to be on Conan Wed? and then fill in on Al’s show Thurs and Friday? 😯
Yeah, he said Conan on Wed, and maybe the Al slot – reading between the lines, it sounded as if he and/or Sam might be filling in (or maybe Marc in Sam’s slot and Sam in Al’s slot).
Hey, peeps. :knit2:
well, um, since no one is around, I guess I’ll skedaddle.
How is everybody?
Slow night? Wouldn’t you know I’d come home and everyone would be gone!
NIIIICCCKKKK!!!!!!!
Hello there Andy. How are you?
😮 😮 Oh Dear 😮 😮 Oh dear

speaking of 😮 Hey Cnick
Hey Fred, so how is everybody?
Oh Ok I guess
Hospice care for the rest of us aka liberal talk radio is useless though ..
😮 😮 Oh dear

Well at least Air America remains on the air. I have to believe that is a good thing. But I’d have thought in my absence that Marc Maron would be back as well. So is there any gossip concerning Marc’s future or do we remain in the dark where Marc is concerned?
Hey Nick, I’m hanging in there so far. I haven’t heard anything about Marc other than he’ll be in Philly this May.
:fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire:
Show is on @ 8 pm Central time…
LISTEN!!!!
That’s cool I listen to Sam’s show on Friday’s when I can hoping to hear a little from Marc. But I’m (more often than not) a bit dissatisfied with the airtime given him. So I was hopeful when Mike Malloy went with Nova M. I wonder how that network is fairing?
you guys be well. I’m gonna watch a little tee vee i guess
