Another round of the Sunday talking heads. Weekends are so damn short, and then they hit us with this shit. Oh well, there may be pearl or two out there.
For instance, on Press the Meat, it’s everybody’s favorite fake news person, Timmy the Potatohead Russert. Timmuh hosts a real newsman today: Stephen Colbert. I hope Colbert let’s him have it with both barrels. Then there’s a roundtable with presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Krazy Kate O’Beirne, Judy Woodruff & Sally Bedell Smith (author of “For Love of Politics – Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years”).
Over at Faze the Nation, Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer shows some Big Love to the man with more positions than Jenna Jameson, Mitt Romney.
It’s a typically fair and balanced edition of Fux News Sunday, as Weaselface Wallace hosts St. John McCain, and Mike Huckleberry Huckabee. And of course there’s the Fux Noise news panel of be Brit “Asswipe” Hume, Bill “I hate children” Kristol, and NPR outcasts Mara Liason and Juan Williams, as the token female and black dude, respectively.
On the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus hosts Senator MBNA himself Joe Biden, on to talk about his campaign for Secretary of State President. Then, it’s a roundtable of (believe it or not) Nazi bitch Laura Ingraham, right-wing shil Mark Halperin, Donna “Political Genius” Brazile and of course George :jerk: Will, who will no doubt wet himself over today’s “Voice,” Tommy Lasorda.
Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission includes quasi-Democrat, Jane Harman, on to do the Hoekie Poekie with Petey Hoekstra. Plus, Walid Jumblatt of the Lebanese Parliament, President of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, Iraqi Gov’t Spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh, and the guy I’d vote for if I could vote in Russia, Garry Kasparov.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Katie Couric talks to Valerie Plame (I wonder if Valerie will tell her that she could rip her throat out with a paper clip?), Anderson Cooper talks about his PlumpyNut, and Scott Pelley has a look at forest fires in the American West.
My advice? Catch Colbert, and then take a nap until Sammy comes on. Enjoy your Sunday, everybody.
So, I was looking at CNN last night, and they had the headline, “Villagers allege they were shelled by Turkey.” Of course, the only thing I could think of was that Thanksgiving Day promotional stunt by Herb Tarlek and Arthur Carlson on WKRP. 
Things aren’t so good here. It’s all I can do to write this. On Thursday evening after work, I took my dog, Siggy, to the park, as I do pretty much every night. It was a dark, cold, rainy, crappy evening, which is generally OK by me. Siggy went off into the woods as he always does. Unfortunately, he never came back out again. I wandered about in the rain calling and whistling. A dark day became a black night, and my wife came out with flashlights as we slogged through the mud and the poring rain for hours, until it became clear that Siggy wasn’t coming. I went back out to the park yesterday morning at the break of dawn (such as it was; more constant rain), and plodded through the woods in every direction I could think of. I’d hoped that, in the daylight, Siggy would make his way to the open park area, but he wasn’t there. This park is surrounded by thousands of acres of heavy woods, and my only hope was that, if I came close enough and yelled loud enough, he’d hear me and come running.
