Chris Matthews on Harball is fun to watch. Sure he's a Democrat pretending to be neutral. What I like is the way the gets after the guys he's interviewing. Hardball is the perfect name for the show.
I think Family Guy should have its own network. That way I can watch it any time I want, even when I am on the road and there is no TIVO.
Is it just me or are LEVIS the poorest quality jeans out there. I used to wear them all the time but the sizes, seemed random. I took a few years off before going back. Now they just fall apart. It's a shame because all I wear are jeans. Which brings me to today's list.
Iconic things that are going away (good or bad):
1. Levis
2. Sears
3. The US Postal Service
4. Network television
5. Televisions that can only be used as televisions
6. The GOP
7. Bookstores
8. Traditional Churches
9. The middle ground
and if we are lucky
10. 100% of the incumbents (state and federal) over the next 6 years.
I think reality television is the worse thing to happen to television - ever.If a UFO landed and offered to take me for a ride, I would go...but only if they promised to bring me back later.
Sometimes I think Bill O'Reilly goes an entire show without telling the truth once.
I have an old shoe that is smarter than Glenn Beck.
My hotel only gets 25 channels. Six of them are versions of ESPN or FOX sports. That's okay though. My shower has three shower heads and they offer free breakfast.
The writers for House and Breaking Bad are the best in the business. By comparison, the writers for Greys Anatomy get to work on the small bus.
Things I would look for if I were interviewing people for a job (another list):
1. Good at math
2. Participated in high school wrestling
3. Eagle scout
4. Military experience
5. A creative problem solver
It's been a long day of travel. Time to sleep off some chicken.

Iconic things that are going bad - you forgot my number one item, 411 information.
ReplyDeleteGuess I wouldn't get the job too.
Oh well,

no fan of Beck but he took the Lonesome Rhodes role of Andy Griffith in "A Face in the Crowd" and turned himself into a millionaire. So he can't really be dumb.
ReplyDeleteHe shears the sheep every day and laughs (or sheds a fake tear or two)on the way to the bank.

I actually agree, Glenn Beck is probably very smart. It's just that he lacks the formal education to have any credibility, at least with me, when he start talking about "what the nation needs." I looked up Lonesome Rhodes and he is exactly Glenn Beck. I'm surprised that comparison hasn't been made before. It's possible that I just missed it.

I don't think Beck really gives a hoot about what the nation needs, what our history is or anything of the sort.
ReplyDeleteGlen Beck is interested in taking the sheeps money and putting it in his pocket. P. T. Barnum would be proud!
You should watch A Face in the Crowd. Hucksters like Beck have been around a long time and by that i mean way back. They had them in Athens, Sparta, Rome and probably before that. You should read how Darius (I think it was him) seized control of the Persian empire from the rightful heir.
JAH
He could also be Howard Beal....maybe he is a mutant combination of the two come to think of it.
