On Press the Meat today, Timmy Potatohead subjects us to St. John McCain. Also on shills from both parties: Democrat Steve McMahon & Republican Mike Murphy. If for some reason you don’t get enough of St. John on Press the Meat, you can tune in to Part II on CBS’s Faze Nation with Bush Buddy Booby Schieffer.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallce has Huckleberry Huckabee, and the magic underwear mannequin, Mitt Romney. Plus the usual Fux news assholes, of course.
The HuckaMitt festival continues on over at the Goebbels network on This Weak. George Snufalufagus also hosts John Edwards, and then there’s a roundtable of Sam :omg: Donaldson, political mastermind Donna Brazile, Cokie “the hag” Roberts and George :jerk: Will. Whoopie.
If you’re not quite full of the Huck just yet, you can catch him on Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission, along with free market savior Ron Paul, Bill Richardson, and Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S., Mahmud Ali Durrani (I think he’s one of the Republican third-tier candidates, polling somewhere behind Ron Paul, but ahead of Grampa Fred).
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lara Logan talks to Pervez Musharraf, who tells us it’s Benazir Bhutto’s own damn fault she got (take your pick) shot/hit with shrapnel/hit her head on the sunroof/died of natural causes. Steve Kroft gives airtime to Boston mob triggerman John Martorano, who explains why and how he murdered 20 people (let me guess; it was just business). And Mike Wallace talks to Roger Clemens, because we apparently give a shit whether or not he used performance-enhancing drugs (Roger, not Mike).
But, who gives a shit about all that? Tonight is the final season premiere of The Wire, on HBO. Have a good one.

The sun is out this morning. What color remains, in spite of winter, is outside my window. :banana: I really hate those all grey days.
Did anyone watch the Rethug debate? The dog woke me up around 3 AM and I turned on the TV to find Fox news discussing the debate. First up was my favorite toe sucking pundit, The Penguin, aka Dick Morris who told me Rudy was terrif and Ron Paul was crazy. Was Paul finally included in the debate?
I guess the debate from which Ron Paul is to be excluded will happen tomorrow night (or possibly tonight ’cause the article is dated the 5th):
The New Hampshire Republican Party dropped their affiliation with a Republican debate sponsored by Fox News tomorrow night because they have limited the number of candidates that can participate.

hey are the homeless of the domestic animal world – colonies of feral cats that roam residential neighborhoods and lurk around office buildings and commercial garages, scavenging for food.

But one animal welfare group has figured out a way to save their lives and put them to work in Los Angeles. The Working Cats program of Voice for the Animals, a Los Angeles-based animal advocacy and rescue group, has placed feral cats in a handful of police stations with rodent problems, just as the group placed cats in the rat-plagued downtown flower district several years ago – to great effect.

Oh, silly Fred. If all you get on your teevee is shit, then you’re not getting the right teevee. “Dan Rather Reports” alone is worth the satellite bill. Never mind all the movies, and of course shows like The Wire, Weeds, Dexter…. How about The ‘L’ Word. I mean, lesbians in Hi-Def! OK, I haven’t actually watched that one (tried once, but it was boring). But, as a concept, it’s certainly intriguing. Then there’s the Smithsonian Channel, Science, Discovery, History, National Geographic – and those are just some of the HD Channels. Is there a lot of crap, too? Sure. But nobody forces you to watch it.
And, the teevee is mounted on the wall, so it isn’t likely to ever sit dark in a corner (we have few corners in this house large enough, for one thing). As for “big box store bills,” well, when I buy something, I don’t buy it on credit (and I don’t buy stuff from stores, fer crissakes). If I can’t pay for it, I don’t buy it. A benefit of living the life of a miser, and never spawning. It’s not like I have a huge entertainment budget. I haven’t signed up for the AAR cruise, for example.
As I said, I don’t have a “boo-hoo my life sucks” attitude. I have a “boo-hoo, my job takes way too much time away from doing the things I’d rather be doing” attitude. Same as everybody else, I reckon, except those mythical people who just love the hell out of their jobs. Whoever they are.
Also, when you find a really good (if way too short) instrumental version of “Suicide is Painless,” you have to find a way to work it into the conversation somehow.
Granted, I don’t have the cheerful, Little Mary Sunshine outlook on life that you do, but it’s not like I’m one step away from putting arsenic in my oatmeal, either.
That’s what Granny’s for.

Nah, I have to crunch the numbers first.
What ever happened to little Mary Sunshine anyways?? ๐ ๐

She and Little Debbie work the same corner.
Oops, I just had to turn off McCave to save my TV from having a shoe thrown through it. Ol’ McCave was explaining that Reagan knew you could not expand the size of gummint if you could not pay for it and that his tax cuts were paid for by spending cuts.
I guess I was dreaming about the Reagan deficit and the fact that he, with the help of fiscal restraint guys like McCave, turned us from a creditor nation into a debtor nation.
And even Reagan finally realized he had to jack up taxes. As did Poppy Bush. Not this numbnuts jackoff preznit, though.
From my friend, John Edwards (pleas for money snipped, though should you feel so inclined, I’m sure you can figure out how):
Druid #1!! :banana: :bow:
I know a way to pay for bigger government – stop contracting all your government services out. That right there saves about 25% of the cost. The Repugs will fight that, though, because they own the contracting companies.
Has anyone else figured out our army now runs on the same model as did the Greek city-states and the crusader armies? All the people in the military are fighters while all the support services are performed by camp followers. And while the battle is being fought the followers – aka Haliburton, KBR, DynCorp – are looting the camp.
Bill O’Reilly Roughs Up Obama Aide, Forced Back by Secret Service at New Hampshire Event<
On Friday in New Hampshire, Bill O’Reilly crossed into a Secret Service security zone around Obama, without permission, and got into a scuffling match with an Obama senior staffer.
O’Reilly later imperiously justified his breach of security by declaring, “We’re sorry we had to have that little confrontation, but no one on this earth is going to block a shot on “The O’Reilly Factor.” It is not going to happen,” O’Reilly said, according to the Associated Press.

I was going to offer a prize to the person who posted comment #100,000, but you guys missed out. It was gonna be something good, too, like a free subscription to Sedition Radio or something.
Hey, if HBO shows Big Love during the election season, does that mean they need to provide equal time to all the non-Romney candidates?

I sort of had this conversation at work Friday with the person who got me into this show in the first place. She and I are in agreeance that if Willard is still in the race when Season 3 starts in June, the show will pretty much fry his chances of getting the nomination.
One scene with Bill Paxton in the magic underpants is all it would take. Harry Dean Stanton in the magic underpants with his 15-year-old wife would be even better.
I only watched a little of the Repig debate last night, but really enjoyed McCave’s comment that if the Repigs have a candidate who knows about change, it’s Willard. Boy, did Willard look pissed.
:rofl2:
From what I’ve read, Huck and Maverick took turns nailing him, and about all he could manage was a Ralph Kramden hammina hammina hammina.

So, this is weird. I’m on itunes and I notice an item in my menu that is my room mates shared music. We’re on the same network but I haven’t done anything to share and she shares with her mother but she hasn’t done anything to share with me. WTF is itunes doing with my computer!? :tap:
I’ve been thinking about Obama. He’s certainly far better than any of the Rethugs, but he doesn’t inspire confidence in me. He has accepted too many of the rethug constructs such as the Social Security crisis. Of course, none of them is ever what they advertise in their campaigns.Perhaps better, maybe worse.
Anyway, I sent Edwards some money
If Obama is what they give me come November, then I’ll vote for him. But I don’t trust him, and to me he’s the same as Hillary. Too bad, ‘cuz I’d love to think he’s the greatest.

If what she says is true, it is very explosive stuff.
Obama’s speeches may be inspiring but his votes haven’t been. Of course I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee. Same as Clinton. None of the rethugs is worth a thought except maybe Ron Paul, but I already put him out of my mind, so that’s it in a nut shell. :ear:
