Looks like a fairly balance lineup this morning.

But the media ghouls probably thing they can have a bunch of “Gotcha” moments. Let’s see if the guests can stay on topic and refuse to play thee lamestream’s game.

Kay Baily Hutchinson on the same show, second week in a row... Maybe Bob Schieffer has a crush on her.....

Some say Ben Afflack is going to run for Kerry seat in Mass. Lord help us!

[Alas Babylon!]

Probably think... *gets more coffee*

Another queer possibility: Barney Frank not shutting door to Senate appointment

Looks like a fairly balance lineup this morning.

Apparently the networks are convinced that nobody will be watching this weekend so it's okay to level the playing field...

Time for the Republicans to remind the media that the GOP House has already passed revenue and spending legislation. Those bills HAVE to originate in the House. Now the Senate needs to vote on one or more of them with whatever amendments they choose to add, then a reconciliation conference works out the differences. At least that is how it used to work in America, before we got to this point.

Maybe the Ghost of Journalism Past will talk to the clowns we have now and explain the difference. One can only hope.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

Christ is the reason for the season

[rodguy911]

Merry Christmas to everyone here and many, many more.

[Alas Babylon!]

Impossible! I heard he's getting a job with the Transportation Security Administration. It's been his "dream job" goal all along!

[rodguy911]

Hi Silvie how RU!

Her every move is now controlled by the bent axel.Hillary will never be responsible for anything every agiannow tha the bent axel guides her pathway to 2016 and the final nail in our coffin as a former free and open country.
Policemen in the schools instead of more help for the criminally insane,figures.
Sounds like police state logic to me.

[rodguy911]

What happens if we just say no to any tax increases or spending over what we take in?
We take in close to 200 billion a month. Why can’t we get by on that?

[rodguy911]

Image of the day so far!!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Oh please, please, please.

That photo needs a little facial bruising, glasses disheveling and nose blood edited in.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Maybe a broken lens.

[surrey]

It’s going to be Ted Kennedy Jr. despite the fact that he lives in CT. They’re saying he’ll probably announce by Tuesday. If this is true, the seat’s all his and Brown shouldn’t waste time or money .

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Wallace: Only nine days left to head off tax increases and spending cuts.

Hey Wallace! Why the hell would we want to head off spending cuts?

[shalom aleichem]

Merry Christmas A.B. and Thanks for the thread. I guess the world did not technically “end”, but we are entering the era of TEOTWAWKI. God help us.

P. S. I’m kinda glad Boehner got some comuppance, his stripping commitee assignments from Conservatives and all. What a goober!
