Way back in the 1950's and 1960's, one of the easiest ways to get a woman out of her party dress was to use the apocalypse as your wing man. The old line, "Honey, what if the world were to end tomorrow," was designed to narrow prospects for her future, in the hopes that she would spread her legs. And of course, the next morning (if the tryst lasted that long), the sense of terror and urgency would disappear - along with the young man, the lady's honor and probably a thing or two from the fridge and/or her purse.
So it's no wonder that after President Obama's speech, I felt a little like the suckered chick. See, up until last night, we were all in a state of panic, thanks to Obama – but now, judging by last night's tone - it turns out, maybe things aren't so bad after all. "We will recover," he now says. And to me, it feels like the morning after - and he`s saying, "Anyway babe, that was great - I'll call you."
I hope he`s right. I still have confidence in the guy, and I want to be wrong about the expanding role of government. But the problem with exaggerating fear is that it obscures legitimate fear. When refering to Iraq, he talks of "ending" the war, instead of "winning." That the concept of victory is unseemly to him – well, that kinda scares me. And tucked away near the end of his address, he manages only a few words about the war on terror, giving it less weight than his obsession for windmills. The scary fact is, if a terror attack were to happen tonight here in the US - our economic troubles would be wiped off the front pages.
Then you'd be truly scared – which probably means we should hook up later.
I mean, seriously –life is short, and why die with regret?
I have a sleeping bag in my truck and I wrote you a poem. Let me get my guitar.
Well, 0be a confidence man, to be sure.
Well, 0be's a confidence man, to be sure.
redeye is rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. it’s politically incorrect and offensive -that’s why i love to watch it if i’m up at 3 in the a.m.
I started to record it on DVR about three weeks ago. It’s one of my favorite things to watch now.
If Glen Beck was on at 3 AM and Greg Gutfeld was on at 5 PM, I probably would not even bother to DVR Beck’s show. However, I don’t even have a DVR to begin with so, I guess I’ll just have to make due.
I am wondering if they will ever get Glen Beck to make a Red Eye appearance...
LOVE RedEye! I’ve been recording it and listening to it the next evening as I go to sleep. Dr. Marc Lamont Hill was on the other night, and it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. You get to see normally constrained people acting like they would in a bar after 5 drinks. Totally non-PC, that must be why I like it so much.
you can catch some clips on youtube abd hulu. Try to catch the classic where Greg interviews the teen girl genius, and she calls him a terrible person, to which he replies, “You ARE a genius!”
I don't remember that one. Dang.
Yeah, I saw that...How would Olberman have handled that one, I wonder.
Well that answered my question. I just watched last night’s Red Eye, and it seems Glenn Beck will make his debut on tonight’s show. This ought to be fun. I wonder whose ADD will take over? Glenn’s or Greg’s?
