    2009 Tea Parties

    Ha! I'm the only one who voted the first way... I'd rather watch ESPN and I'm not big on protesting as a rule. I do think it is valid, I just don't want to watch it. I just can't get into the retro clothing and silly signs. I just don't enjoy watching this kind of stuff and I certainly wouldn't go out to an event. The massive spending, bailouts, endless debt, printing up money out of no where, it all concerns me, but Obama was elected with huge Democractic majorities. Its what people want right now. ho hum.

    Meanwhile, a gotcha moment for this news babe: She's a hack. End of story.

    Covering Coverage

    Susan Roesgen seems to have made herself the story. CNN at least plays it closer to the vest than MSNBC most of the time, but that wasn't their finest moment claiming the events were anti-CNN. Man, get over yourself. Judging by the ratings, CNN isn't really on anyone's minds as of late. Also, debating some guy about Obama... oh man, lady, are you a reporter or an advocate because you can't be both. CNN Correspondent Claims Tea Parties 'Anti-government,' 'Anti-CNN' Also, Anderson Cooper made some sexual joke... ho hum.

    American Idol Season 8

    So, this is the great save. They lecture us over so-called past injustices like Chris, Jennifer, etc. then use the save on Matt? Da hell? He is a guy the public will never allow to win, and he will never have a recording career. Although, if next week was the last week to use it, and odds are it'd be Lill, I guess the show didn't want to be forced into using it on her or not using it.

    Lill sucks. If she didn't go last, I'd say she would be going home. Probably Matt or Anoop will go, imo. Still went over despite cutting into the judges time? Lame.

    This is a case where journalism shows itself as little other than a sad exercise in profiteering and nothing more. Uproar over 'news story' ad on front page of LA Times snip Sad.grim.pathetic.

    Nice to see the Smoke Monster's crib. Also, nice use of emotional manipulation by Alex!Smoke Monster.

    I can't believe the stooges took so much time to decide not to save Scott. The guy has been horrible all season long. I'm thinking Anoop is the next boot.
  11. You know, I can't help but wonder if the heat he is getting is that X-Pac go away kind of heat.

    Covering Coverage

    The entire "Is Rush the leader of the Republican Party?" played as a "When did you stop beating your wife?" type question, imo... my understanding it was the one figure the old Clinton warmachine found that polled low and they started this mess. The media is far less concerned with the OMG!important news and critical problems of the day and will get bogged down in trivia matters when it suits them. Maybe if they had been on their tows, they'd have saw the provision for the bonuses a lot sooner (as well as figure out who was behind it, Dodd or the Obama White House). That was my orginal point. I can safely say had anyone other than Obama made the crack, it'd have been a week long story.

    Right. I don't find what went on with Rush newsworthy at all, but I guess we'll just agree to disagree.
  14. Swindle

    Covering Coverage

    Eh... In one sense, I agree, on the other hand, the double standard bugs me. If the media can spend countless weeks using a private citizen, Rush, as a straw-man boogyman at the behest of the White House and some old Clinton flunkies, they can hold Obama's feet to the fire for more than a day over a remark about the handicap. Besides, Obama is the one who thought it'd be a good idea to go on Leno. Its not anyone but his fault if his comedy is disrespectful.

    WWF/E Tidbits from the past

    MoneyInc ruled. MillionDollarMan/HBK seems more like one of those oddball monster heel teams that'd go up against another oddball monster face team, rather than a real tag team.

    I made it though the circle jerk special, now the repeat is on. Baltar and his daddy issues... ugh... Cavil better killed some of these fuckers come the finale.

    I've always assumed Christian is an avatar the Smoke Monster takes… just a wild theory. The smoke monster taking the form of Mr. Eko's brother and telling him to keep pushing that button... so, it fits.

    The NFL OT Rule

    Just play an extra quarter. I don't like getting rid of kickoffs and/or field goals in OT. The damn game is called FOOTball, afterall. All aspects of the game should continue to impact the score in OT, just as they did in the first four quarters. The more gimmicky the solution, the less I like it.

    Obama wishes Iran a happy Nowruz

    Nothing wrong with trying to reach the people of Iran, but its the government that we have to deal with at the end of the day. Bottom line, they are still going forward with their Nuclear Program.

    I'm sure his outrage was fleeting. That guy is so deep in the tank, he may as well have grown gills.

    The story will be long gone by Monday. Covering it, dismissing it like they do with Biden and his gaffes is expected.

    PC-ism is never used against dems, so its just going to end up another thing the media will brush under the rug. Also, remember the uproar over that mad-chimp getting shot, needing a new one to write the stimulus bill political cartoon... Racism!!!!... even though Obama didn't write the bill, much less read the damn thing. Obama did make a joke about Nancy Reagan, so he has a history of being, at the least, tactless.

    The Savage / WWE bad blood

    Honestly, I do believe the stories. What is the one thing that could stop Vince from doing business with someone when he has put aside badblood in every other case? It is logical, the timeline fits too. JMO.
