On Press the Meat today, Gilligan Gregory and the gang talk health care, Wall Street, and women. On to throw out a few trial balloons sure to enrage liberals will be Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett. Then it’s Countrywide Financial “VIP” Chris Dodd, and Arizona’s Jon “screw you” Kyl. Then the show will kick of NBC’s week-long series about women in America with a second segment including Valerie Jarrett, who chairs the White House Council on Women and Girls, Mrs Arnold, Maria Shriver, and former Clinton White House Chief of Staff and President of the Center for American Progress, John Podesta (who is not, actually, a woman).‬
Over at CBS, Faze the Nation has John Kerry, who says no new troops for Afghanistan until this whole election thing gets straightened out.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has DINO Kent Conrad, democrat if it’ll get him re-elected Arlen Specter, and John Thune, Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee Then, the White House called Fux News “a wing of the Republican Part,” so Fux has Karl Rove on to tell us how it aint so. Plus everybody’s least favorite Syracusan, Terry McAuliffe.
This Weak on the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has Ollie Hardy lookalike David Axelrod, plus a roundtable with George :jerk: Will, Piggy Peggy Noonan, EJ Dionne, Paul Krugman and Jake “the mens room” Tapper.
At CNN, Fareed Zakaria has a discussion with a panel of international economists, plus a conversation with Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna, the Indian foreign minister, on what he thinks of the whole Pakistan/Afghanistan thing.
Of course, all of that pales in comparison to what’s really important tonight: the Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror XX. No, not double X rated, but can you believe it’s been twenty years now? That means that there are sophomores in college that have never lived a world without the Simpsons. Damn.
Have a good one.
I thought the XX meant alcohol content. :nixon: Crap, 20 years, that makes me feel old.
Sad to say McAuliffe might have been a better candidate in VA.
Speaking of guvs
New York Governor Says Budget Cuts Will Be ‘Painful’
This is not good.
Top officers among dead in Iran bomb blast
Wow, I wonder if that was a Mossad operation.
pj, I almost added that my money was on Israel but the suicide part stopped me. Don’t really know why.
Democracy Corp, a group which includes James Carvelle (know your source), has issued a report that says that Republicans hatred of Obama is not driven by racism, but rather by the belief that Obama has a secret agenda to bankrupt the country so that he can install socialism and take away their freedom. They believe that Fox is the only “real” news and hold Glen Beck in the highest esteem (Lintball, not so much). This 2/3 of the Rethug base thinks that they have special knowledge unknown to those who do not share their beliefs. They want Obama to fail because if he succeeds his secret agenda (not secret from them, apparently) will succeed.
Gee, let me see. Complex, convoluted conspiracy theory or plain and simple racism….
What’s that Occam’s razor thing again?
BTW, saw a Globe or World Net Daily or whatever it was rag on the checkout line this afternoon, with one headline accompanied by a sinister-looking photo of Obama saying, “Obama Order: Get Glenn Beck.”
I really had to laugh. I mean, who is more insignificant and laughable than Glenn Beck?
That report says it is primarily the women who like Beck. I cannot imagine why. But, they seem to worry about his safety and now I know why. Part of Obama’s secret agenda is to get Beck. Thank goodness they know the secret and can protect him ’cause all he can do is cry.
NASA scientists have discovered a mysterious ribbon around our solar system —- a stripe made of hydrogen —- that defies all current expectations about what the edge of the solar system might look like.
