On Press the Meat today, McCain cheerleader Mushmouth Brokaw hosts Colin Powell. Will he endorse a candidate? Tune in to find out, or just stay tuned into the blogosphere, and find out w/o having to endure the show itself because otherwise you’ll also be subjected to Chuck Todd, David “douchebag” Brooks, Jon Meacham, Andrea Mitchell and Joe Scarborough.
Over at CBS, the least suck of the debate moderators, Bob Schieffer has VA Gov Tim Kaine, FL Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz, dickhead Missouri Gov Matt Blunt, washed up former congress critter, Rob Portman, and Danny “got no” Balz of the WaPost.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts grumpy old John McCain, plus the regular fuxheads.
It’s a rather pathetic lineup on the Goebbels network This Weak, as George Snufalufagus hosts an “all star” panel of disgraced lunatic Newt Gingrich, Thomas “my head is flat” Friedman, David Gergen, political mastermind Donna Brazile, and the dean of SUnday morning wanking, George :jerk: Will.
CNN’s Late Emission includes Claire McCaskill, Roy Blunt redux, famous transvestite and all aroudn sleazeball Guidy Ruliani, Alabama Rep Artur Davis, Ed Lazear (who actually admits to being the Chairman of the Whit House Council on Economic Advisers), republican shills Alex Castellanos (isn’t he Homer on the Simpsons?) and Leslie “dirty” Sanchez, and former RIAA mouthpiece and current Political Director and Washington Editor at Large for Huffingtonpost.com, Hilary Rosen.
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s the very watchable Lara Logan reporting from a forward operating base near Pakistan, Lesley Stahl asks bankers how great it is to be bailed out by the federal government, and Bob Simon does a story about bullfighting brothers Cayetano and Francisco Ordonez (how proud they must be to inflict pain and suffering on animals).
Some folks may not be aware that Berkeley Breathed has decided to do away with his character Opus. There’s an interview with him in Salon about it, and this exchange sums up the whole booblehead thing perfectly:
Your children’s books seem to appeal to your gentler, Charles Schulz side. But how — without Opus — will you exercise your Michael Moore side?
I’ll be on my couch Sunday mornings screaming at Brokaw and Stephanopoulos to call out the blathering bastards on their stupid fucking talking points and pin the dancing, lying, spinning Tasmanian Weasels down about something, ANYTHING for Christ Bloody Sake THE COUNTRY IS GETTING STEERED INTO CHAOS AND INSOLVENCY AND WAR BY ITS UNREAD UNINFORMED DULLARD SHEEP CONSTITUENCIES AND YOU JUST LET THE CANDIDATE SAY ONE MORE TIME WITHOUT OBJECTION THAT HE’S GOING TO CUT TAXES WHILE HE CALLS FOR FREE 24 KARAT GOLD FRANKFURTERS TO BE INSERTED INTO EVERY AMERICAN’S ASS JUST BECAUSE BUTT BULLION POLLS WELL.
You see right there why I can’t have Opus involved with this anymore.
Have a good one.
Colin Powell endorsed Obama .

It has long been suspected that humans have an ancient history of drug use, but there has been a lack of proof to support the theory.
Now, however, researchers have found equipment used to prepare hallucinogenic drugs for sniffing, and dated them back to prehistoric South American tribes.

Farmerkat, it has been very nice to see your late evening posts. You’ve been missed.
Vernon, and everyone else, this is Joe McCarthy accusing Edward R Murrow of palling around with terrorists. Watch at your own risk of serious nausea:
Yay! Jeff Farias is gonna start a new show on the internet. Check it out! :banana: :yippee:
Hey Kevin,
I heard that Qwest is dropping their wireless service and Verizon is taking over. WTF! Are my calls safe with them? Or are they traitors to the Constitution also?

The company I work for was spun off from Verizon a couple of years ago. We don’t have a relationship with them other than a contract to publish their directories, so I don’t have any inside information as to whether or not they are tapping phones.
I do know a number of people who complain about them providing shitty service. Granted, the people who are happy with a company are not going to be as vocal as those who are unhappy, but personally I would hesitate and do some shopping around before getting hooked up with these folks. Just my 2c.

I can think of a few adjectives other than watchable. But hell, I’m still reeling from Naomi Wolf on MvS last week.
:hot: :hot: :hubba:
And there you have it, the worst possible World Series match-up for the network but I love it. I might even watch now.
Hi all! Thanks SueP. I’ve missed everyone and am trying to be a better bloggeenie or whatever we are.
I thought Lara Logan was down with pregnancy and divorce/remarraige issues???? If any of you saw sixty minutes two weeks ago, the Iraq segment, mr fk did a bit of the camera work on it. He has one of the few HD cameras over there right now. He headed north on Fri our time and I hadn’t heard from him until tonight. Was getting a bit concerned, but all is okay.
got an eloquent email from a cousin of mine who is in the top .25 tax bracket (!) and she is having “friends” turn against her and ripping up her Obama signs. They can’t understand her. Oh, the hate that is coming out in this country is overwhelming.
Saw “Exile” tonight with Sherman Alexie speaking afterward. It was pretty interesting, but sad. Sherman, though, had some very uncharitable things to say about Susan Surandan. Evidently he was doing a voter registration thing and said hello to her and she snubbed him. It may just be a frail male ego thing and she didn’t hear him, but, boy oh boy, he was mad!
:fire:
