Longer version:
Gretchen disavows his remarks about the president.
Hank Williams Junior mouth flashed on Fox and Friends. He compared President Obama to Hitler. In addition, he said that Obama and Biden were the enemy. His bosses at ESPN didn’t like it and they fired him from singing “Are You Ready for Some Football,” his Monday night theme song.
Christine O’Donnell acted the “Troublemaker” during her short interview on the Piers Morgan Show Wednesday night.. The interview was short because O’Donnell refused to answer his questions and ended the interview, stating that he was rude and that she wanted to talk about what she wanted to talk about.
The topic Christine O’Donnell didn’t want to discuss was about gay marriage. Piers Morgan said that the topic was in her book and was obviously taken aback when she accused him of being rude.
Think of the fun you could have with one of these puppies!!! If you had 2, even better.
Poor Michele. She tries so hard and is “All Shook Up.” She needs to fire her fact checking staff. She is living proof that “Fools Rush In.” Elvis’s birthday was January 8, 1935. He died August 16, 1977. Oh Michele, “Don’t Be Cruel! ” You just confused the first hello with ” The Last Farewell.” This was definitely not the day to wish The King a happy birthday.
It’s better to make these gaffes after the primary. Then only one set of political enemies make fun of you. Now both Democrats and Republicans will have a field day at Bachmann’s expense. I expect that Michele will want to “Make the World Go Away” after the ribbing she will get from this one. She and her Blue Suede Shoes had better stay out of the south.
So poor Elvis is the Honky Tonk Angel rather than the birthday boy. Better luck next time, Michele. And fire your fact checkers. You will thank me later.
Netflix is quickly becoming a loser. First it drove Hollywood and Blockbuster out of business. they failed to respond to the new business/movie paradigm fast enough. Now they have announced their new plan–all streaming for $7.99 unlimited. If you want to get dvds, that will cost extra, lots extra. Here is the plan, announced in email:
We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans to better reflect the costs of each. Now our members have a choice: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan, or both.
Your current $19.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:
Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 3 out at-a-time (no streaming) for $15.99 a monthYour price for getting both of these plans will be $23.98 a month ($7.99 + $15.99). You don’t need to do anything to continue your memberships for both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs.
These prices will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

That’s really too bad. It would be one thing if Netflix has all of its dvds on streaming video. Such is not the case. I won’t keep the three movie at a time plan. In fact, there is a lot that isn’t on streaming video. I guess I will go back to streaming and 1 dvd. Their loss. What will other netflix subscribers do? I understand they are catching Hell on Twitter and Facebook. The worst part is that they talk to you in the email like they are doing you a favor.

CC vs Fox smack down! Fox News has gotten several days of very strong programming off Jon Stewart since his interview with Chris Wallace. Stewart makes sure that their cup runneth over. I dare you to watch without at least smiling.
Musician Tom Petty has complained to the Michelle Bachmann campaign about his song “American Girl” being used at her presidential run kick off. He is in the process of getting a cease and desist order. He had a similar issue with the Bush campaign over the song “I Won’t Back Down.”
At what point does an artist stop having control over where his or her music is played? I am not sure Petty has a leg to stand on if the campaign owns the recording. Could he come along and tell a club they cannot play the same recording as dance music? What about some kid with a boom box? What if Bachmann tells Tom Petty to stick it?
If a person is in the business of selling recordings of their music, then they have to expect it to be played.
Tom Petty is living up to his name. This is about as Petty as it gets.
Some people simply have an astounding will to excel. It is probably what kept this young man, Sung Bong alive. He is truly amazing and yet very humble.
Sung Bong was placed in an orhanage at age 3. He ran away from beatings at age 5 and lived on the street, selling baubles and gum. Talk about tenacity.
This guy is just lame.
I hope they didn’t pay much for him. Talking about a need for vetting!
The Republican Leadership Conference met in New Orleans and ended up shooting itself in the foot pretty quickly with a maverick Obama impersonator named Reggi Brown. Reggie not only took some questionable shots at Obama but he really took aim at some of the party faithful.
Some examples of his poor choice of humor:
1. Lewd photos of Anthony Weiner
2. Saying Gingrich’s supporters “are dropping faster than Anthony Weiner’s pants.”
According to Politico, Weiner called Bill Clinton to apologize. Stewart says, for what? Copyright infringement?
John thinks that people might not be paying close attention to the show and they might be doing ‘other things’ [wink.wink.nudge.nudge] Jon gets Day 5 out of Weinergate.
Aside from the Daily Show, did Breitbart lie to the public and arrange for the real X rated picture of Rep Weiner to be released after saying he would not? Was it a Breitbart stunt?
Stephen Cobert proves that Paul Revere could multitask while riding his trusted steed.

So there we were….driving home down Highway 81, from the Lucky Gunner Blogger Machine Gun Shoot, listening to a mystery on tape, when out of the blue,
TURTLE!
What?
Turtle! Back there! Pull over!
I had seen a suicidal turtle making a mad dash for the interstate. About the size of a dinner plate, it was hurtling across the shoulder at top speed, on its way to CERTAIN DOOM.
So, my wife, familiar with my tendency to be insane, pulls over and backs up. (We appear to be a little suicidally crazy too.) I pull on my shoes and jump out of the car. The Turtle is about to cross…the WHITE LINE OF DEATH!
The Big Wang Theory? Holy cow. This story is taking on a life of its own. It really falls in the category of SO WHAT! How can one determine if generic gray boxers are theirs?
Poor Anthony Weiner. I can’ get serious over this issue. This is just a gift that keeps on giving.
For more Jon Stewart on Rep. Weiner
Jon Stewart used to hang out at Dewey Beach, Delaware with Anthony Weiner back in the day. He says NO WAY to that picture. In fact, he says there’s just a lot more Anthony than Weiner.
Anything advanced by Breitbart has to be suspect. Let us not forget the man with a plan. According to globalgrind.com:
Breitbart was the man responsible for taking Shirley Sharrod’s words out of context and labeling the federal worker a racist, costing the USDA official her job after he spliced and diced her words about helping a racist farmer out despite her past experiences with racism. Breitbart ran to Glenn Beck with doctored “evidence.” The rest, as they say, is history
Rep. Weinerhopefully will call in the FBI and get the entire matter resolved. Guilty or innocent? Hacked or perv? Twittered or Weinered? It sounds to me like Breitbart and company are up to the dirty tricks again.

Ed talked smack about Laura Ingraham. Lost in all this is the hypocrisy of bitching about President Obama having a beer while in Ireland. So what. He was criticizing Ingraham for applauding Reagan for drinking beer in Europe and now Obama bashing for the same thing. Unfortunately, Ed went overboard and used called her ‘a right wing slut.’ That’s too bad. He made a good point up until that point.
Michelle Malkin, in her usual vituperative manner, called Schultz a cretin. I guess she didn’t watch Glee the other night. Would Ed have been in trouble for calling Ingraham ‘a right wing cretin?’ Regardless, gentlemen aren’t supposed to call women sluts. Everyone needs to sit up and take notice.
Schultz will be back. His suspension is supposedly for a week. He is a good fix after an hour or so of Steve Doocy. I already miss him. He ate his crow, pound of ….well…never mind….and he ate it well.
The difference in Fox and MSNBC is that MSNBC actually disciplines its employees for bad behavior. Fox does not, or so it seems.
