Just met anesthesiologist watches show loves twitter she’s young beautiful and about to put me under

Of course, it had to be the BBC doing the explaining.

Warning: Features Facts That Wouldn’t Make it On To American TV

Meanwhile on American TV news, John Stossel expects people to found their own private fire departments.

An excellent comedic outing featuring softcore porn involving John C. Reilly and an Ana Gasteyer look-alike (who is in fact the chick from Crossing Jordan).

Well, maybe Page Six could, but still:

Ann Coulter’s jaw wired shut.

A mainstream news outlet actually pointed out how stupid the term “Clean Coal” is.

Boring Brian Williams:

“Coal. While you might have heard the phrase ‘clean coal’ during the presidential campaign, it’s actually an oxymoron. Wishful thinking. Coal does not burn cleanly and it’s hugely expensive to make it burn that way…”

Come on Wolf Blitzer, join the club. Be a man, dude.

Spoiler: Sarah Haskins always wins

I’ve enjoyed the limited use of old man Brokaw in tonight’s coverage, however-

Seriously-

Tim Russert’s corpse is slowly turning into a fat skeleton.  Leave it alone.  We don’t care what he would think of this.

Also, really, shut up Brokaw.

Oh Abrams, you lovable scamp. Just when you start acting like your usual “IT’S A HORSE RACE” self, someone says something so outlandish that you have to call bullshit.

P.S. please keep putting this Brad guy on, he’s a hoot.

“While you’re discussing ‘message control’, people are eating ketchup soup.”

Yeah, I get accused of having some manner of bro-ner for Taibbi, but this piece is pretty hard-hitting.  One has to wonder how long the corporate media can continue pretending things are “just a little rough” before people start sabotaging location shoots and the like.

If anyone can recommend other writers in this same vein, I’m open to suggestions.  Here I’m assuming, of course, that anyone reads any of this.

Worth seeing Harold Ford outside of an environment where he’s considered the wacky hippie liberal moonunit
