The Gilligan Gregory era of Press the Meat begins today with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, plus Chicago Sun-Times’ Mary Mitchell and Chuck Todd. and a discussion on the Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, undewear model Mitt Romney, disgraced former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Lee Scott, CEO of that wonderful corporate citizen, Wal-Mart, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
Faze the Nation has Carl Levin, Tennessee cracker Bob Corker, Sherod Brown, another appearance by Lisa Madigan, and Michael Eric Dyson.
Fux News and Weaselface Wallace have Cracker Corker, Illinois House Republican dickhead Tom Cross, and Micigan’s Debbie Stabenow. And the usual fuxheads, of course.
At the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has a big exclusive with, um, John “loser” McCain, plus a round table with PBS’ Gwen Ifill, Paul Krugman, WSJ hack Gerald Seib, and (of course) George :jerk: Will.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl talks to the always entertaining Barney Frank, Scott Pelley tries to find the bottom of the mortgage meltdown barrel, and Byron Pitts foolishly profiles USC football coach Pete Carroll, when he really ought to be doing a story on Syracuse’s new head coach, Doug Marrone.
Have a good one.
Morning all. my brother and his family are supposed to come over today but I’m not feeling so hot and I’m debating if I should just cancel.
:yuck:
I’m not feeling that great either. Flip a coin Andy.
Well, disease is the gift that keeps on giving. Nothing says “I love you, man” like getting your bro’s whole family sick right before the holidays. 😉
Gov. Sarah Palin’s home church was badly damaged by arson, leading the governor to apologize if the fire was connected to “undeserved negative attention” from her failed campaign as the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Damage to the Wasilla Bible Church was estimated at $1 million, authorities said Saturday. No one was injured in the fire, which was set Friday night while a handful of people, including two children, were inside, according to Central Mat-Su Fire Chief James Steele.
He said the blaze was being investigated as an arson but didn’t know of any recent threats to the church. Authorities didn’t know whether Palin’s connection to the church was relevant to the fire, Steele said.

Well I cancelled with my bro. Sigh. Of course in an hour I’ll feel fine.

(this won’t help, though…)
Air Force Flunks Another Nuke Inspection?
Andy- it was the right thing to do. We’ve both been sick for a couple of weeks now- S got it from me. If we could have avoided it our lives would have been much better. Let someone else infect your brother’s family.
A rapid recovery to you, pj, KP and all the sickos in sicko land.
Thanks guys. 🙂
I hope you guys aren’t sneezing on your posts. This seems to be contagious, but it’s always a good reason to take the day off from work.
Every day off from work is a good day. :dancers:
Is this illness blog-contagious? 😮 Everyone feel better – and soon! :gate:
I just made three batches of fudge. :hot:
I’m not sick, I just felt a little crappy this morn.
Rock Paper Scissors version’s not bad.
:rofl2:
:rofl2:
(Bushie ducked those shoes pretty adeptly, I must say!)
All reporters will have to remove their shoes now before a news conference :doh:
Oh, I wish that guy had better aim. :rofl2:
Oh, the title of that song in post 14 is “No Shoes”.
Mmmm! Fudge!
I think the internet should be like roads, bridges and parks(the ones NOT owned by foreign countries anyways) Public infrastructure for the growth of business. Our tax dollars should pay for access to the internet.

Before I clicked on the link, I thought it was going to be a reference to shoe-throwing. 😀
Did anyone else think of Jerry Springer when they saw that clip for the first time? I was waiting for the guy to run up to the lectern and try to pull Bush’s weave off.
:rofl2:
Let’s go rob a bank, we’d just be stealin’ our own money. I got 2 masked dogs in on the heist!
Perhaps the shoe thrower has read that Karl Rove is going to name Bush haters in his new book and he wanted to make sure he made that list.
And we got a bonus too: Dana Perino has a black eye!
In the January issue of Harper’s Magazine (not online yet), Linda J. Bilmes, lecturer in public finance at Harvard’s Kennedy School, and Joseph E. Stiglitz, 2001 winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and University Professor of Economics at Columbia, describe the cost of the Bush Presidency in an article titled “The $10 Trillion dollar hangover: Paying the Price for the Bush years.”
The result of deficit spending is debt. When President Bush took office, the national debt was $5.7 trillion. Now it is $10.6 trillion — and Congress voted in October to raise the debt ceiling to $11.3 trillion, the seventh such hike since President Bush to office and the second since last July. If, as is quite likely, we reach the new ceiling by January 20, the outgoing President will have managed to amass more debt than all of his predecessors combined.
Bilmes and Stiglitz further state, “the total bill for Bush-era excess — the total new debt combined with the total new accrued obligations — amounts to $10.35 trillion.”
In that time — that is to say, in the time that Washington was racking up that excess, using that money for something-or-other; the time from when President Bush took office to now — the cost of a family health insurance premium has gone up 87%; the number of uninsured people has gone up 19%; the number of families living in poverty has gone up 19%; real median household income has dropped 1%; and corporate profits have gone up 68%.

And all he got was a shoe thrown at him.
Republican opposition towards the nomination of Eric Holder as Attorney General is being driven, it seems, by Karl Rove himself.
Ceci Connolly, national staff writer for the Washington Post, said as much on Sunday, when she passed on a bit of hill gossip in the waning moments of “The Chris Matthews Show.”
“Word on the street is that Karl Rove is going to be helping lead the fight against Eric Holder when his nomination for Attorney General heads up to the Senate,” she said

Now don’t you think it’s time for contempt hearings for our subpoena ignoring Rove the Rethug?
That, and, I would really love to see him get the shit kicked out of him. You know, bloody nose, black eye a couple of broken ribs. But that’s the primitive part of my brain talking. And I’ll take that if we can’t get him prosecuted for the myriad of crimes he’s guilty of.
That’s Nellie McKay KP. Travis has a major thing for her. I’m this close to buying her “Pretty Little Head” album.
I just found this on C&L and it shames
