On Press the Meat today, it’s the man who helped give us eight years of dubya, James Baker, former Clinton Commerce Secretary and Obama transition adviser William Daley. Then Joe Lieberman will be on to talk shit about Obama and taunt the spineless Democrats in the Senate. Plus a roundtable withh financial ‘expert’ Erin Burnett, former WSJ hack Paull Ingrassia, the WaPost’s Eugene Robinson, and Chuck Todd.
On Faze the Nation, it’s Nancy Pelosi and Obama Chief Economic Adviser Austan Goolsbee.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, Steny Hoyer, and Papa John Boehner, along with the usual fuxheads.
Axelrod also trots on over to the Goebbels network to chat with George Snufalufagus, who also has dickhead Alabama cracker Richard Shelby and NY’s Chuck Schumer.
CNN’s Late Emission consists of Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, famous male model Mitt Romney, Carl Levin, wingnut Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, famous son of a rich guy, Steve Forbes, famous friend of MS, Robert Reich, and washed up losers Ed Rollins and James “cupie doll: Carville.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley investigates an assault ever on a facility containing weapons-grade uranium (still-unsolved), Bob Simon reports on foreign-born widows of US citizens (and their US born kids) being “asked” to leave the country because their husbands died, and Lesley Stahl catches up with blind and mentally impaired musical savant Rex Lewis-Clack.
Even later than that, it’s the season finale of True Blood on HBO.
Have a good one folks, ‘cuz it’s back to work (for me, anyway) tomorrow. At least it’s a short week.
President-elect Barack Obama is developing a plan to create or preserve 2.5 million jobs over the next two years by spending billions of dollars to rebuild roads and bridges, modernize public schools, and construct wind farms and other alternative sources of energy.

Sounds like FDR’s WPA and not a bit like trickle down economics.
5 Myths About Our Ailing Health-Care System:
1. America has the best health care in the world.
2. Somebody else is paying for your health insurance.
3. We would save a lot if we could cut the administrative waste of private insurance.
4. Health-care reform is going to cost a bundle.
5. Americans aren’t ready for a major overhaul of the health-care system.

And passing Universal Healthcare would be the death of the GOP.
I’m going to start mourning now!
Worth a mention tonight, the special 2 hour mini ’24’ movie. I don’t think Janeane G. will be on yet. I wish Painting Girl would revive her weekly 24 review next season.
Also tonight will be ‘A Coldert Christmas’ where Stephen will try to recapture the magic some of you might remember from Perry Como and Andy Williams holiday shows of old. Guests include friend of Marc the Shark Toby Keith, Elvis Costello, big boss man Jon Stewart, John Legend and Willie Nelson
Did I post this sometime in the past? Oh well, here it is again.
Farmer in Chief
By MICHAEL POLLAN
Published: October 9, 2008
Kp, I think I did but I was just thinking a few minutes ago that it needed to be revisited as I listened to an NPR story that was touching on farm policy. They also had a guy from Alabama, the group, talking yesterday about what could happen if we outsourced food.
Aren’t we already outsourcing much of our food?
Yes we are. I should have said ‘all of our food’.
Greetings all!
all things, including food, are in such disarray in this country. Eat Local. hmm, maybe I need an adverb (sue?): Eat Locally.
Two columnists (at least) in the NYTimes today are calling for W to start moving things out early. (This presidency has just been so disastrous. I do not understand how anyone can say they are a republican with a straight face. Seriously.)

and the piece I like best, Time for Him to Go
It would be worth it if only for the chance to hear Bill O’Reilly say the words PRESIDENT PELOSI.
Almost as much fun as the thought of him saying SENATOR AL FRANKEN.
Which would make his head explode faster? Not sure, but we’d have fun finding out.
:rofl2:

He’s just gonna call him Senator Smalley.
This is where we get turkey from around here.
The turkeys consumed in Boulder are strict vegans who’ve performed at least 30 hrs of community service and taken at least one undergraduate course from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute.
Ha!
art, are you in boulder?
I heard they they have a guy in Colorado Springs who dispatches the turkeys with a cartoon machine gun.
Do your turkeys have sex to reproduce? Because pretty much all of the turkeys you buy in the store don’t. They have a sperm wrangler wrangle the sperm out of the male and insert it into the female. A damned crime if you ask me. Someone gave me a friggin’ 22 lb turkey from Minnesota last night. I hope it fits in the oven! Where’s the turkey emo?
Does that mean Fred is in the Springs?
Fred!! :yippee:
from somewhere close to Boulder
Anyone else seeing a Rachel Maddow backlash? Too much of a downer and concern troll for a lot of people.
I just realized that her laugh, the chortling version, sounds exactly like Barney Rubble. I knew it sounded like some cartoon character, or am I going insane?
:turkey:
And if anybody complains that this depicts turkey rape, I say get your mind out of the gutter.
You said it PJ.
I don’t know about Maddow, but I’m a bit tired of concern trolls (and people who have suddenly figured out that Obama isn’t exactly the second coming of Eugene McCarthy) in general.
Yeah, David Sirota, I’m talkin’ to you!
I think Sirota likes to bait a lot of people into challenging him. It all has to do with what they see as the best avenue to rise within the ranks of punditry.
:turkey: leftovers for a week! Can’t wait.
:turkey:
WHT and Art, nice to see you!
What is this turkey doing? :turkey:
and I was gonna improvise
:parrot: :jerk:
This :turkey: is turkey on crack or urban turkeyboy.
Can we just strangle Grover Norquist in his bathtub?
I see that in the recent comments, but not on the blog. That’s a strange comment, Vernon.
I just thought of that when I saw him on some show now. Maybe not an exclusive thought but he is shit.
:turkey: “Deliverance” 😮
:turkey: Turkey on crank.
:turkey: Perhaps he’s going cold turkey.
I’m sort of in a conundrum. I don’t know what classes I’m going to take this winter. Not accounting, that’s for sure. Meteorology, composition and maybe cal. again. Though, I really have a strong urge to leave the realm of numbers for a while. :doh:
i read that sirota piece, too.
i think it looks like a critter riding piggy back. aren’t those shoes dangling on either side of that gobbler’s shoulders?
:turkey:
They’re earmuffs.

:turkey: Earmuffs? He really is a cold turkey. He’s also very nervous.
Hyperactive turkey!
It may just be an AK turkey with a Palin on its back.
then those are Jimmy Choo shoes.
it’s a Palin worm riding horseback, turkey style.
