Prime Time Thread
Open thread for documenting the constant variety of cable news hackery. And other miscellany.
Tonight! MSNBC is showing a marathon of caught-on-tape videos. Very serious!

I don't want to be nice to trolls and fundies!!! I want to STOMP and ANNIHILATE!!! I'm tired of belonging to the nice party, I want to belong to the take no f'ng prisoners, toe our f'ng line or die party. Monday is going to be a really painful day for me. You know the D's (including Obama) will be all nice and inclusive and the R's will come out swinging their dicks and refusing to cooperate. Ugh.
PS- Why have the intertube g-ds not fixed it so I don't get a DAMN SPELL CHECK ERROR WHEN I TYPE OBAMA????!!!?!?!?!?

Dammit Bob, some people need to see security footage of people hitting other people with guns. It's a medical condition, okay? It's called... it's called... I'll get back to you when I think of a clever name for it.

Very impressive rant, Paddy.
I linked to this op-ed from Paul Krugman today (from the HuffPo) where he calls the Republican Party "a party of whiners":
"Some of the whining almost defies belief. Did Alberto Gonzales, the former attorney general, really say, “I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror”? Did Rush Limbaugh really suggest that the financial crisis was the result of a conspiracy, masterminded by that evil genius Chuck Schumer?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/02/opinion/02krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinion
He gets so close to true snarkiness...but pulls back just in time.
Posted by: Kat at January 2, 2009 6:53 PM
That was my version of miscellany, by the way.
Posted by: Kat at January 2, 2009 6:54 PM
From the Krugman article, courtesy o' Kat;
Where did this hostility to government come from? In 1981 Lee Atwater, the famed Republican political consultant, explained the evolution of the G.O.P.’s “Southern strategy,” which originally focused on opposition to the Voting Rights Act but eventually took a more coded form: “You’re getting so abstract now you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites.” In other words, government is the problem because it takes your money and gives it to Those People.
Swish! Nailed it.

As usual, Paul Krugman was far too kind calling the Republicans whiners. They are ignorant, delusional whiners.
Posted by: SillyGit at January 2, 2009 7:16 PM
I'm afraid I'll be missing what will surely be a riveting evening of programming over on MSNBC. But I'll be watching the remainder of VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. It will probably be AC/DC's "Back in Black," but I've got a soft spot for Metallica's "Enter Sandman."

One more congressional election should limit the GOP to the south and midwest.
However, I heard Rush balling about a part of the Obama stimulus package that should fix this problem in my lifetime.
"Internet and libraries in rural America, $100 Billion."
This will open the eyes of young voter in Kentucky and let them know that black people will not steal their job and eat their babies. It should also but a slow end to the,"But my Pa told me it was..."
The future looks got.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 2, 2009 7:48 PM
@ Joe - That depends on rural America's Google search. I'm guessing "God", "Christianity", "Conservative" and "Sarah Palin 2012" will be at the top of their list.
Posted by: Broadway Carl at January 2, 2009 7:54 PM
Along with "Britney Spears" and "Definition of Virginity," Carl.
Posted by: Kat at January 2, 2009 7:57 PM
Don't forget "Abstinence Only" and "Creationism."

@ Kat:
Rumor has it that number one is actually Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'
From what I hear, 'Back In Black' is two and 'Enter Sandman' is in the top five..
Posted by: Alexander Rose at January 2, 2009 8:35 PM
Yes, a Jesus fossil would be an awesome discovery but only if his remains were found riding a tyrannosaurus.
All I am saying is that some good book learning and the intertubes might break the back of stupidity and maybe the glorification of ignorance in our political leaders. "InshaAllah" (God Willing in Arabic)
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 2, 2009 8:37 PM
I think it would be amazing if they found the skull of the Baby Jesus -prolly get a good chunk of change on eBay for that one...
Posted by: ceu at January 2, 2009 8:42 PM
We might be able to get Stranahan involved, Jane, but I don't know about Very Serious Author Mr. Bob Cesca. Unless we did some animation about feargasms, 'cause he loves him some of those. And feargasms are probably one of the stages of virginity, come to think on it.
Posted by: Kat at January 2, 2009 8:43 PM
A Tyrannosaurus? Now you're just being facetious.
Everyone knows Jesus was alive during the Jurassic Period, not the Cretaceous, and therefore would've rode a Stegosaurus. Back me up, Sarah Palin.
*BAM*
Not with buckshot to the upper back. But good effort.

Now brother, you can't mix science with religion. The only periods are Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and my favorite Revelations which is our current time period.
Please ignore Leviticus. That is were all the "Pick and Choose" stuff comes from.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 2, 2009 8:54 PM
Sorry, Jane. Let's just all agree that Jesus and Fred Flintstones were BFFs and move on to the next subject: Moses Porn. Who's a fan?

Gotta wait for tomorrow, Joe. But in a sick, twisted, emotionally scarring way, those nipples have afforded me a day off tomorrow.
Gypsy, who was number one?

gypsy, I almost said firebird. I wasn't ruling out the femullet.

Don't worry if it gets bad enough my ass will be in Israel fighting Hamas.
I am saying THIS here and now.
IF I AM CALLED TO DEFEND ISRAEL, I WILL REFUSE THAT ORDER BECAUSE IT WILL BE A HOLY WAR OF ARMAGEDDON BULLSHIT.

Ok, I must have contacted the FBI on that one.
Neo...

ok...my friend currently lives in abu dhabi...is she safe? it's surrounded by all the crazy and i'm worried?
Posted by: gypsysoul at January 2, 2009 11:47 PM
Israel doesn't need US military support. They are perfectly capable of "defending" themselves. They're pounding the crap out of the Palestinians (400+ to 4) & now they're preparing to invade Gaza...and ain't no one gonna stop them.
Hell, they took on 9 (I think 9) countries in 1967 - The Six Day War.

Yea, she's fine, gypsy. She's nice and close to Saudi Arabia. Nobody's gonna let anything happen to Saudi Arabia.

Israel does need the promise of US military support though, Chris. If we threw up our hands and told the world that Israel was on its own, it wouldn't last long.

The question is, Why do we support Israel?
Ideological?
Political?
Financial?

thanks kat...i thought she was ok by the melted gold cascading down a wall at the new year's party she attended!
Posted by: gypsysoul at January 2, 2009 11:58 PM
Fear of scary Muslims?
Love of all things crude?

love of all things crude! you forgot the "boo-yah"
Posted by: gypsysoul at January 3, 2009 12:02 AM
Isn't this the time of the night where we are supposed to be engaging in shenanigans? What's with all the fucking serious political talk?
I think all your answers are right, Joe. It just depends on who you ask.
Posted by: Kat at January 3, 2009 12:04 AM
I ask because it would literally be a conflict of values and conflict of interest for me to deploy to Jerusalem.
I am dead serious I would throw away a spotless(except that one thing) military career if they send me to go fight in Baby Jesus land.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 3, 2009 12:04 AM
There's always that one thing...

Sorry, I am just really worried about some more stupid shit in my life. However, I keep forgetting that Bush is out and Barack is in. It does help me sleep at night.
And BOOBIES..
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 3, 2009 12:07 AM
ooohhh i can't decide if i want to ask what that one thing is or let my mind run free!
Posted by: gypsysoul at January 3, 2009 12:07 AM
Alright, kids, it's been fun. Time to hit the hay. Joe, let me know when you're ready to go AWOL. I can use my new GPS to find Canada. They have beer there, right?

I'm headed out too. My movie was a total disappointment so now I have to go read some decent erotica.
And Redmond...I know you aren't working tomorrow..but I still hope there are lots of boobs for you to snark about.
Posted by: Kat at January 3, 2009 12:10 AM
Thanks bro, I am pretty sure that it is Magnetic North, Grid North and True North of here.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 3, 2009 12:11 AM
All of the above.
Kat, you're right, we won't announce that Israel's on its own, 'cause it has the pretty much unconditional support of the US. But they don't need our help & I can't see a need for or an upside to the US getting involved in this conflict, except with an eye to ending it.
IIRC, Hilary Clinton supported a 2 state solution about 12 or 15 years ago. She was criticized for talking about it (the gall of the wife of the president to have actual thoughts of her own!) but she had some good ideas. Hopefully her being the Sec. of St. will be an asset for the peace-mongers this time.

GItheJOE.................There are many days that I have no idea what we are supporting in Israel's fight to Armageddon, but I suppose I'm supposed to support it....................
Posted by: LameDuckHunting at January 3, 2009 12:11 AM
Kat, I swear. Vegas, baby. Vegas.
But, seriously, your good luck has me covered well into tomorrow so I can sit around in my boxers. Which is actually no different than any other day.

Excellent, Redmond. I try to encourage anything that will have a man laying around half-naked.
