On Press the Meat today, live, from Detroit, it’s the new CEO of GM, Skip Henderson. Then it’s a roundtable with President Dummy’s former speech writer, Michael Gerson, CNBC hack John Harwood, the BBC’s Chatty Katty Kay, China “expert” Joshua Cooper Ramo, and the former Chief Economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, Dr. Bill Rodgers.
On Faze the Nation, Tim Geithner is back out on the stump, still trying to convince us that he isn’t evil or an idiot (or an evil idiot), plus the WaPost’s Perry Bacon, and newsbabe (and CBS Chief Foreign Correspondent) Lara Logan.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod, Republican stooges Gov Mark Sanford of SC, and disgraced former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Plus the Fux News “Power Player of the Week” Debbie Wasserman Schultz of FL, and a wole bunch of fuxheads.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley reports on a county hospital that’s been forced by budget cuts to close an outpatient cancer clinic. Anderson Cooper interveiws Ahmad Batebi, who tells how he was tortured during his eight years in an Iranian prison (it’s called “torture” when the Iranians do it), and this weeks’ puff piece comes from Morley Safer, who interviews Dolly Parton.
Even later, it’s the third season premiere of the Tudors (which some of may have already watched, thanks to On Demand). Have a good Sunday.
According to the American Religious Identification Survey that got Mohler’s attention, the percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 percentage points since 1990, from 86 to 76 percent. The Jewish population is 1.2 percent; the Muslim, 0.6 percent. A separate Pew Forum poll echoed the ARIS finding, reporting that the percentage of people who say they are unaffiliated with any particular faith has doubled in recent years, to 16 percent; in terms of voting, this group grew from 5 percent in 1988 to 12 percent in 2008—roughly the same percentage of the electorate as African-Americans. (Seventy-five percent of unaffiliated voters chose Barack Obama, a Christian.) Meanwhile, the number of people willing to describe themselves as atheist or agnostic has increased about fourfold from 1990 to 2009, from 1 million to about 3.6 million. (That is about double the number of, say, Episcopalians in the United States.)

Nice photos from Lincoln, today.
Hey, can any of you iTuners out there post the iTunes link to the BRL podcast so I don’t actually have to install iTunes?
Oh, never mind, I used my porn computer to get the URL. For anybody who wants to subscribe w/o getting iTunes all over your computer, the URLs are:
Video: http://breakroomlive.blip.tv/rss/
Audio: http://airamerica.com/ondemand/podcast/86877/full
You should be able to subscribe to those using any podcatcher. iTunes sure tries not to give up the info, though. Why Mr. Technomage (aka, Sam) can’t post these on the “subscribe” page over there, I don’t know. I’ll post them here under “Podcast Feeds.”
pj, did you leave this one off to save my blood pressure?
He was awful on Maher.
The osprey are back. Right on time. Repairing nests and catching fish.
Lola got a walk on the beach and when someone’s lab came down for a swim she ran right into the water with him, so I guess she’s not averse to water. My mother’s cat has spent the time under a bed, but I put out food for her and she ate it so I guess that’s progress.
Oh, I guess I totally forgot about This Weak.
I agree about Frum. He’s harder to listen to than joe the not really a plumber. And who was that comedienne? Maher’s gotta stop bringing on his old girlfriends- especiallly when they forget to deliver the funny.
The comedienne was Carol Leifer who did not have one of her best nights. She wrote for Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show.
Bud Shank passes
You might better remember his flute solo in ‘California Dreamin”.
Obama has sure made a bunch of changes in a short period of time, stem cell, gag rule, public land protection, just to name a couple things and now this:
Media Allowed To Witness Return Of War Casualty For First Time In 18 Years
With this news, we won’t need to use the excuse anymore, “Honey, I’ve got a headache tonight.”
Roosevelt Dean Passes
🙁 :gate:
