So, it’s Monday again. Isn’t that special. Seems we’re headed back into winter again here, with a lot of wind and kinda cold. Oh, well, at least it’s March now. Just three or four months, and it’ll be spring again.

Well, here we go again.

On Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead hosts a debate between John Murtha and Huckleberry Graham on the urge to surge. Plus, there’s WSJ hack John Harwood, and the WaPost’s Eugene Robinson.

Over on CBS, Bush buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts Democrat Carl Levin, and Republican Joey Lie-berman, plus the co-author of the WaPost’s article on the conditions at Walter Reed, Anne Hull.

Over at Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts occasion Democrat, Dianne Feinstein, plus Republican Pete “Hokie” Hoekstra of Michigan, and then the weasel will try and do a “tax and spend” slam on Charlie Rangel.

At the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus sits down with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, plus Chuck Schumer and Senator Brylcreem, Trent Lott. Then it’s a roundtable, with NPR school of hackery graduate, Martha Raddatz, E.J. “Poupon” Dionne of the WaPost, and George :jerk: Will. Plus Wynton Marsalis on “making a difference” through music. Yeah, maybe if you hit Dick Cheney upside the head with your trumpet, Wynton.

Over at CNN, Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission includes U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, Chris Dodd, Krazy Jon Kyl, Terrible Tom Tancredo, LA Times hack Ron Brownstein, Chicago Tribune hack, Jill Zuckman, and Wall Street Journal hack (even by WSJ standards), John Fund.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Morley Safer does a story on “dog nut” and Simpson’s co-creator, Scary Sam Simon, Scott Pelley reports on how Islamic extremists are using the Internet for propaganda and recruiting (just like Kristian extremists), and Steve Kroft talks to U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, who tells us how the country is going into the toilet, financially speaking (where it will be reunited with the country’s credibility).

Enjoy your Sunday.

I really have nothing against transsexuals. After all, some of my best friends are transsexuals. Well, truth be told, I don’t think I actually know any (but, to paraphrase Don Rumsfeld, if you know that you know a transsexual, then you know that you know one, but you can’t know if you know a transsexual if you don’t know that the transsexual you know is a transsexual). But when it comes to Ann Coulter, I can’t help but despise that ignorant, evil beast. “She’s” got an Adam’s Apple twice the size of mine (and darker five o’clock shadow), so I don’t know who the hell “she” thinks “she’s” kidding. I would comment further on Ann Coulter, but it turns out if you use the word “c*nt,” you have to go into rehab. So I guess I’ll just say, have a nice Saturday.

Friday Open Thread

It’s Friday, ya bastids. Don’t forget, snowbirds, if you’re out there in the Aspen area, you have all kinds of chances to see Marc Maron at the Comedy Festival, through Saturday. In April, the East Coasters get a chance at him, as he’ll be appearing in NYC’s Grammercy Theater with Henry Rollins and Janeane Garofalo. Later in April, you Cincinnati folks get a shot, as Marc’ll be at Bananas in Montgomery Ohio, before the Maron, Rollins, and Garofalo tour heads to LA.

No shows in Central New York, I’m afraid, so I’ll just have to content myself with Sedition Radio, which should be moving to its new home some time today (just need to put the finishing touches on the new box I built for it). Then I can sit back and watch the snow, sleet and rain fall.

Looks like our wonderful government is supporting the troops by punishing our wounded soldiers who have live living in rat and cockroach infested conditions. Sounds about right. Seems like it’s about time for a surge – on the White House.

Hmm. Tough day on Wall St. yesterday (not to mention London, Shanghai, São Paulo, Bombay, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Singapore – you name it). I’m afraid to even look at my retirement accounts. Not that there’s exactly a ton of money in there to begin with, but it’s still better to see it go up a little, than take a nose dive. Especially since it’s not like I’m putting anything into it these days. What the hell I was ever thinking with this grad school stuff is beyond me. Oh well, maybe March will be a better month. February sure was a tough one.

Not that anybody cares, but SU whomped Georgetown last night. In Syracuse in late February, there are few things better than that. Now, if I can remember to go out and get a winning Mega Millions ticket before tonight’s drawing, maybe I can collect the $216 million, and take the rest of my life off. Hey, it’s either that, or convince everybody I’m the father of Anna Nicole’s baby.

Well, finally got junior moved out yesterday. Not everything, mind you. I’ll be tripping over his shit for years to come. Still, it managed to kill enough time that I probably won’t be able to get the shit I need to done by noon today. Could be worse, I guess. I coulda been born one of the whahoos in “Friends of God: A Road Trip.” Oy.

Ok, what do these clods have in store for us this week?

On Press the Meat, Timmuh hosts an exclusive with Carl Levin. I hope Levin pops him one right in pig fat potato head. Then it’s a roundtable with Maureen Dowd, on to snark about Clinton and Obama some more, one of Washignton Post’s hacking crew, Dan Balz, Republican presidential groupie Doris Kearns Goodwin, and the hacktacular Byron York of the National Review.

Over on Faze the Nation, Bush pal Bobby Scheiffer hosts Ahnuld da Gropenator, plus John Edwards.

On Fux News Sunday, it’s Lizardmania with Condi Rice, plus Texas Governor Rick Perry, and PA Governeor Ed Rendell.

On the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus hosts Jimmy Carter, on to tell us Al Gore should run for President, and Bush and Cheney are a couple of bumbling, incompetent, dangerous assholes (Jimmy will no doubt be a bit more eloquent), plus another visit from the Lizard Queen. Then, the Axis of Drivel is reunited again, with Cokie “the hag” Roberts, Sam :omg: Donaldson, and George :jerk: Will. Plus, actor Patrick Dempsey is on to talk about his mother’s ovaries (or lack thereof).

Over on CNN, Wolf BLitzer’s Late Emission includes Iraq’s national security adviser, Dr. Mowaffak al-Rubies, former SecState, Madeleine Albright, war criminal Henry Kissinger, crazy-ass Sam Bareback Brownback, occasional Democrat, Jane Harman, and nutty little Duncan “Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims” Hunter.

Later, on 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace interviews bombastc blowhard Bill O’Reilly (why?), Lara Logan talks to some of the more than 1,000 active-duty and reserve members of the U.S. military that have signed a petition calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, and Bob Simon does a story on how Fox News the Nazis created a model town to show the world they were treating Jews well.

And then there’s all your usual Sunday night entertainment fare, including, of course, an all new episode of Battlestar Galactica. Enjoy your Sunday.

Ah, another Saturday. Not much going on here, except to still keep trying to catch up on everything I’m behind on.
