Must Read! Too funny! Some Edits!

The three candiates for the WH fit the mold perfectly. God help us all.

I’d rather have Goat Kabobs than “Fruity Cocktails”

[VanDeKoik]

The internet episode was so dead on. I have to admit that I’m a bit like that when I lose my connection.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I saw the internet episode and thought is was brilliant.

Shortwave eases the cravings

Big Brother 9 is a joke foisted upon the cable-less clueless public. Catch it late night on HBO, and one can see it for what it is, an even lamer show then the vacuous Fox reality channel Temptation Island that it imitates. The "houseguests" this year all have some "dirty little secret" that they are hiding, one is a gay porn star, one an ex- Penthouse Pet who has never had a real job in her life, others are swingers, hookers and who knows what all.

They are rewarded for "hooking up" with each other, and are even assigned beds together for this purpose. The sex acts are becoming bolder. Big Brother rigs the show to keep the more promiscuous ones on.

Television is fast becoming soft porn in primetime, and hardcore late night. Time to chuck it all out the window.

I liked Big Brother 1 and 2, but time for this charade on primetime to end.

When I see some of the garbage going on in the country (and not just on TV), I start thinking back to mid-September 2001, when Tim Russert said (paraphrasing) that the country would eventually get back to normal by redefining "Normal".

Yeah, I think the country has redefined it. Just not in the way Russert meant. We're way worse than we were in August 2001.

FYI

[Xenalyte]

Yes, this is the kind of sophisticated humor that highbrow types like myself enjoy to no end.

Grammar peeve alert.

[mysterio]

South Park is awesome.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Interesting that CBS President Les Moonves would hand over this putrid show to his wife, Julie Chen.

I guess after she broke up his marriage this wasn't much of a step down. More like a lateral move.

Must see “Cannibal, the musical”, SP creators first movie before SP. Not animated, funny as hell, about the crossing of the rockies in the 1800’s.

The problem is that the internet is a much cheaper way to deliver their messages. If you have internet.

I'm guessing that the money the BBC, CBC, etc. save by not powering up the .5MW transmitters goes into salaries, perks, trips, and hookers.

Heh!

All I can say is when Internet is down I have the shortwave on.

Usually I have both up

The Al Gore/Manbearpig episode and the hybrid car episode are sheer greatness. These guys have libs pegged for the insane, bumbling fools they are.
