This could be the final Booblehead day before the nominations are all but wrapped up, as we have Texas and Ohio (and Rhode Island and Vermont, but they’re just piddly little states, delegate-wise) coming up on Tuesday. So I guess we know what today’s shows will probably be all about.
It’s another ugly day on Press the Meat, as the potatoheaded one has odd couple James “cupie doll” Carville and his shrill and annoying wife, Mary Matalin. Plus there’s Bob Shrum and Michael Murphy. All-in-all, another show worth missing.
Over at CBS, it’s Democrat day, as Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts Obamite Chris Dodd, Clintonista Evan Bayh, and Bill Richardson.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has another pair of campaign surrogates in DINO Dianne Feinstein (Clinton supporter) and Dick Durbin (Obama man). Plus, as an added thrill, it’s the Nazi Pillsbury Dough Boy, Karl Rove. Plus the usual Fuxheads, of course.
The surrogate parade continues on the Goebbels network with Clintonite Howard Wolfson and Obamaniac, David Axelrod. Then, of course there’s the roundtable, with New York Times’ douche bag David Brooks, ABC News’ dickhead Matthew Dowd, political mastermind Donna Brazile and George :jerk: Will. :yawn:
Far be it for Wolf Blitzer to do anything unique, and today is no different as his Late Emission includes Silvestre Reyes representing the Clinton campaign and John Kerry for Obama. Plus Wolfie has DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Also, there’s NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, asshole and House Minorty Whip Roy Blunt, and a bunch of CNN ‘experts.’
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s more of the same as Steve Kroft talks to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and reports from Ohio. Then Scott Pelley reports on Remote Area Medical, which was founded to bring free medicine to the remote parts of the world but now also helps out some of the 47 million people with no health insurance in that third-world country known as George Bush’s America. And David Martin reports on the Pentagon’s new Ray Gun, a supposedly non-lethal weapon they expect to use as crowd control in Iraq.
The there’s the penultimate episode of The Wire on HBO.
Enjoy your Sunday, y’all. Back to the shit hole tomorrow.

Thanks,PJ. I’ll find a better use for my time while avoiding those bobbleheads.
The signs of American irrelevance are apparent throughout the region. Even Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, hailed as a potential peacemaker by the Bush administration, mused last week to the Jordanian newspaper al-Dustour that in the future it might be necessary to return to armed struggle against Israel. And Syria, which received an unexpected invitation to Annapolis, believes that the peace summit was “an exercise in public relations” and that Bush has no interest in peace, as Syria’s ambassador to Washington, Imad Moustapha put it last week.

Bush has sure done a great job in the Middleeast, as elsewhere, such as right HERE. But, I’m sure David Brooks could tell us how great (if presently misunderstood) a president he really is.
THE Iraq war has cost the US 50-60 times more than the Bush administration predicted and was a central cause of the sub-prime banking crisis threatening the world economy, according The former World Bank vice-president yesterday said the war had, so far, cost the US something like $US3trillion ($3.3 trillion

The war was now the second-most expensive in US history after World War II and the second-longest after Vietnam, he said.
The spending on Iraq was a hidden cause of the current credit crunch because the US central bank responded to the massive financial drain of the war by flooding the American economy with cheap credit. “The regulators were looking the other way and money was being lent to anybody this side of a life-support system,” he said.
That led to a housing bubble and a consumption boom, and the fallout was plunging the US economy into recession and saddling the next US president with the biggest budget deficit in history, he said to Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz.

Sedition radio is stuck on the Cardinal and Riley.
Oh Art, wish you were here! 83 degrees and sunny today! 8)
It was a record 74 degrees, blue skies and pine-scented air here yesterday 😀 Drop of 40 degress overnight :cold:
Does Marc ever come to Phoenix? I was thinking of flying to San Antonio this week. Lots of cheap flights out of Denver this time of year.
The wind stopped here in northern Virginia, aka NOVA, and with luck we might hit 50 today. But for those of us suffering from bronchial pneumonia it doesn’t really matter.
Feel better, NC Blue.
I feel better. It is more inconvenience with the cough than anything else. But with the latest technology – laptops – I don’t miss a days’ worth of work.
Patients die from poor care; families don’t hear full story
Ya know, since the introduction of managed healthcare the only thing being managed is profits. Having moved as often as I have I have noticed a marked decrease in actual health care giving and more emphasis on denying care to maximize corporate profits. That is just plain evil.
Sedition radio is feeling better now.
Dunno if it can be seen on line somewhere but On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace has another pair of campaign surrogates in DINO Dianne Feinstein (Clinton supporter) and Dick Durbin (Obama man). Plus, as an added thrill, it’s the Nazi Pillsbury Dough Boy, Karl Rove. Plus the usual Fuxheads, of course. is pretty strange, the DiFi for Clinton and Durbin for Obama part that is.
Almost looks like a cable access show.
housekeeping: Sue, loved the photos of the hawks yesterday and to you plein air enthusiasts (sue, kp et al) – the class was so much fun and informative. We used a very limited pallet – 3 colors and white. Vern, i enjoyed the music. NC, feel better!
new business: :dancers: Thank the Gods for the Ninth Circuit:
well, this is a new business I’ve never heard of…. this world is so whacky. Guess if you’re the change the pocketbook to fit the outfit kind of gal, this makes loads of sense. (I’m not.)
Which, of course, reminds me of the age-old joke about why the ‘blonde’ (or insert your own stereotype) refused to get a colostomy.
A new and informative web page for those of us who occasionally tire of all the political wrangling. Well, maybe not..

See, ‘Kat. I’m not dead yet. Too ornery for that. Check in with me in about 40 years, though, and I just might be ready to slow down a little bit then.
glad you’re still among the living, nc!
Lincoln Karim took a trip north of Manhattan to Croton NY and came back with photos of an owl and some young eagles having an aerial disagreement among others.
