Give credit where credit is due - Bill O'Reilly actually is making sense for a moment, calling out the radical talk-radio loons who are railing against any bailout plan . (hattip Crooks&Liars ) “It gets me angry,” said O’Reilly. “I do talk radio and most talk radio is conservative-dominated ideologues; Kool-Aid drinking idiots. Idiots. Screaming at you that this is socialism, this is this, this is that. ‘It’s Clinton’s fault.’ It’s Clinton’s fault? He hasn’t been in office in 8 years. It’s Bush’s fault! It happened under Bush’s watch.” But then O’Reilly’s tirade seemed to aim at Rush Limbaugh-without actually naming him. “But let’s get back to this talk radio stuff,” said O’Reilly. “These idiots. I mean, they’re misleading you. They’re lying to you. They’re rich, these guys. Big cigars. All of that. ‘Yeah, oh yeah, my private jet!’ And they’re saying, ‘Oh, no! No bail out!’ Uh, uh, no way! “Hey! You’re going to get it, not them!” O’Reilly continued. “That foreign investment ...

A great indy clip for this campaign...

Well as per our tradition, SB and I watched the season premier of Amazing Race . Looks good, though I knew the old couple would be offed first. And there's at least less model-looking people on there, and the tasks so far were cool. Looking forward to the rest of the season. Thanks for staying - my pitstop of love :-)

Hey guys, I'm actually on time with my chart for a change (nothing like being laid up at home from my back trouble).. At least I can rest back and forth laying down.

So this is the McCain campaign suspending itself. Nancy Pfotenhauer is a anorexic botoxed hack that the worse case of yeast infection isn't good enough for her.

Bono is a total dickweed .

Rep. Barney Frank via NBC : For what it's worth, the man who is leading congressional Democrats in negotiating the bailout deal with the administration isn't impressed with Sen. McCain's announcement. Rep. Barney Frank told a group of reporters outside the House chamber: "It's the longest Hail Mary pass in the history of either football or Marys. Treasury Spokesperson regarding the 700 billion bailout proposal per Forbes : In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy. "It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number." priceless.

No need to add anything...

I'll make this short but sweet. The recent "disappeared" economics guru of the McCain campaign, Carly Fiorina, proves again that douchebaggery is not the sole domain of the male race. Consider her hubris in declaring that Sarah Palin (as well as McCain or Obama) is not qualified to run a major corporation. Of course as CEO of Hewlett-Packard she totally blew chunks, but she probably had no idea since she got her 42 million dollar sendoff package after being fired from HP. Check the rundown from Crooks & Liars to document how "able" she was in the executive position. Dipshit. PS McCain gets double douchebag points for claiming her admires her "record" and in the same breath claiming he's not "aware" of her problems at HP. Doddering little dick that he is. Fiorina Called the Outsourcing of American Jobs ‘Right Shoring.’ As HP CEO, Fiorina made comments in Washington alongside Intel’s CEO that “drew an unusually strong reaction from w...

Hat-tip to daily Kos ...

So this is the fourth day that our economy is supposed to be in the toilet . Yet no Y2K moment has come. What's going on? Well, the smackdown to anyone promoting the deregulation of the banking/investment market has come, with every firm going down in succession like dominoes. The rising price of gas, combined with the sagging trade deficit and the exploding national deficit brought on by the fucktardery of the war in Iraq, has led us to this point of no return in econohell, where everyone in their own way is to blame but are pointing fingers to each other. Most culpable are the free-market assholes in this administration that removed any oversight over the financial sector, allow this country to spiral into anarchy not seen since the "robber baron" days. Meanwhile, Congress is stonewalled, with Republicans tripping up any chance for reform, and Democrats too pussified to beat them down on it. And what does it give us? A possibly 1 trillion bill stuck to the US public. No...

Wow. It's been over a month since I've had a chart up. Bad, Bad TSC. Well honestly, I have to keep sitting at the desk at a minimum due to my back being out. Well here's my chart for this ending week. The last chart i had posted had Weezer on top; the next week after had Coldplay reaching the #1 spot, and have stayed ever since (now in their sixth week). Katy Perry (pictured above) holds on to the runnerup position. There's a whole lot of difference otherwise in the chart - besides sixteen new songs debuting this week alone(all marked in yellow), only three songs in the top-10 remain from the last posted chart. The biggest moves are marked in red. And for the wait, FULL link-o-rama is in effect - you can click on the name of any of the chart acts to go to their website (or closest facsimile of one)... When will the pills end!?!?!? (the last weeks position was that of my own personal 9-12 chart I have at home, OCD that I am) This Week Song/Artist (last week...

Sorry, I've been going through a big back problem (sciatica), so hence the light posting. Believe me, it isn't due to lack of material.. And SB was an angel, bringing me needed food and entertainment (both him and Kylie's Showgirl Homecoming DVD) to lighten up the atmosphere. Thank you babycakes.

see Sarah Palin pictures

There's not enough Cee U Next Tuesday awards for this bitch. As I write, the snoozefest of the KKK/Republican convention is going on in Minnesota. In order to make this hot-air factory at all palatable to the US public and the media, John McCain pulled the crass political stunt of nominating Sarah "Miss Congeal" Palin to be his running mate, ensuring the TVs get nonstop coverage of the Jerry Springer show that is this moron's "life experience". Who the fuck is Sarah Palin? Hell, the fucking republicans don't even know... (Mind you, this is the fucking national chairman of the party!) I honestly think the Republican party really thinks this is a game - not a campaign for the future of our country, and it's all about the unending news cycles of stories about how much of a cuntmobile this Sarah Palin and her dysfunctional family is. Observe... 1) Imagine a Democrat nominating someone under investigation. For anything. The pissypants hired hands that...
