When all you've got it sheep, this is what you do.

Tonight's DSS is the #1 single in Britain right now. It's one of two hits this year to support the ongoing Comic Relief charity's Red Nose Day , held every other year. The other 2009 single, Irish band the Saturdays' take on the Depeche Mode classic "Just Can't Get Enough", will be showing up on my twostepcubchart pretty soon, and debuted in the UK at #2 last week. This other one pairs Welsh comedic actors Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon , who both have appeared on the UK hit TV show Gavin And Stacey , with cameos by fellow Welshman Tom Jones as well as Robin Gibb, with an a propos remake....setting familiar, SB? Note for us stateside - "Barry Islands" is in reference to the location of the Gavin And Stacey sitcom.

If: A) You are wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt... B) along with a blue blazer and white slacks... C) and you're the current head of the division of AIG that was responsible for destroying the company and by domino effect a huge chunk of the American economy, Then you are by law a complete fucktard.

This week's C-U-N-T award for fisting through the glass ceiling of douchebaggery is radio non-personality and Ann Coulter stand-in Laura Ingraham. And this is for demostration of a fit of filial cannibalism , in this case Meghan "my dad is John McCain so I'm cool!" McCain. This all started when Meghan wrote an article in the conglomo-blog The Daily Beast about how shock-ideologues like Ann Coulter are destroying the Republican party by their scorched-earth tactics and fascist conformity. As much as I believe Ms. McCain is at many a time a naive starfucker that will excuse all the bullshit her parents and the rest of the old-school GOP have done, it was a very thoughtful and inclusive piece on one finding one's place in a party where you may not agree with all the planks, but are willing to work towards some sort of common ground. She even flew her rational flag with the gay marriage and stem cell cards. It's almost honorable to consider her faith in a party t...

So from what the American public is being told, after bailing out financial supernova AIG to the tune of 170 billion dollars, if we don't let them pay out bonuses to their employees in the division that totally fucked the company in the first place, they would be in some sort of default and the company would be under attack from any creditor and in kind putting customer taxpayers at risk for tens of billions more. This is crazy. We should just take over the damn thing and treat it like a possession. Spin off those shits into a division that will go bankrupt, and let them see if an unemployment check is better than not getting a bonus. And it's coming out worse and worse every day, with not even a promise to pay us back for the money we've siphoned in . Why isn't the government just going in and firing every single one of those executives. What value are they to the company, after being responsible for the largest quarterly loss in history . Extra credit: a good recap ...

Another Friday the 13, went by, and hopefully nothing spooky happened to you. It's time for my tunes for the week, and this week sees Beyonce spending a second week at the top, while Kanye West (pictured above) makes it into the top-3. Former big hits by Billy Currington, Robbie Williams, and Saving Abel drop off the list, while Charlie Wilson, Carrie Underwood, and The Offspring make the biggest moves. Link-O-Rama is still in full effect, so you can click on the name of any artist to go to their website. What's that noise?

Go see the interview slash beating at Crooks and Liars or later on at ComedyCentral.com later today. It was the most direct expulsion of the real media elite that I have ever seen. I really thought Cramer was about to cry. Stewart has pulled himself over Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw in journalistic integrity.
