Let’s see…. No Press the Meat today, ‘cuz they’re showing the Ryder Cup. The winning team gets a free truck rental, I think. No such luck on CBS, though. Instead of golf (oh, did I mention that the Ryder Cup was golf?) it’s Faze the Nation, but today it’s Democrats-only day with PA Guv Ed Rendell, NM Guv Bill Richardson, and Vermont’s Boynie Sanduhs.
You’ll probably never see an all-Democrat day on Fux News Sunday, but you can always count on a crazed wingnut or teabagger (or two). And today’s no exception, as KY teabag darling Rand Paul faces off against his opponent for Senate, Kentucky AG Jack Conway. And then of course there’s the usual Sunday panel of fuxheads.
Over at the Goebbels network, undercover Muslim Christiane Amanpour has a town hall meeting as Franklin Graham, Daisy Khan, 9/11 families, a jihadist and more debate the question: should Americans Fear Islam? Well duh. Personally, I think Americans should fear any ideological movement that requires total, mindless, irrational faith and obedience from its followers while demanding they convert, assimilate, kill, or at least impose their values and beliefs on non-followers – and that includes radical Islam, fundamentalist Christianity, Teabaggery, and every other goddamn (so to speak) group of losers who refuse to leave me the f*ck alone. But that’s just me.
At CNN, Fareed Zakaria has an interview with Wen Jiabao. Can you tell me who that is? Huh? No? OK, well, he’s the Premier of China.
Also, there’s a war that officially comes to an end today. Can you guess which one? The War in Afghanistan? Yeah, right. Nope, it’s World War I. Now, I know that if you went to public school, you probably learned that WWI ended with the Treaty of Versailles, but, like so many other things they taught us, they lied. WWI isn’t officially over until those dirty Huns pay the last of their reparations – and that happens today as Angela Merkel tears that last coupon out of the book and puts the check in the mail.
You know what I’m betting you won’t see today? Any mention of the tens of thousands of progressives who rallied in Washington at the ‘One Nation Working Together’ event. And really, why would you? I mean, it’s not like Glenn Beck was there.
Oh well, lots of work to do today, so I better get to it.
