The only thing you really need to know today is that Buck is home<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But, if you must<\/em><\/strong> know…<\/p>\n

On Press the Meat today, Barney Frank is on to talk about stimulating David Gregory’s package. I think. I mighta read that wrong. Also talking about “the package” are Claire McCaskill, Nevada Senator John “Insane” Ensign, and Indiana cracker, Mike Pence. Plus “Fiasco” author Tom Ricks (who appears to have a pretty big friggin’ head<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Over at Faze the Nation, loser John McCain will be on, desperately trying to prove he’s relevant. Plus there’s that very rare species of human – a Democrat from North Dakota – Kent Conrad. He’ll be on to explain that it’s the South<\/em><\/strong> Dakota Democrats that don’t pay their taxes<\/a>. Plus the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer.<\/p>\n

On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace hosts Larry Summers, the director of the National Economic Council, and perhaps the biggest asshole in the Senate (and there’s a lot of competition for that<\/em><\/strong> title), John “cornhole” Cornyn from (of course) Texas. This week’s crew of fuxheads includes creepy Fred Barnes (seriously, would you let him<\/em><\/strong> babysit your five year old son?) of The Weakly Standard, NPR’s Mara Liasson, the extraordinarily arrogant and ignorant Charles Krauthammer, and Juan “token” Williams.<\/p>\n

Speaking of tokens, Michael Steele (a species even more rare than a ND Democrat) pops into the Goebbels network studios to yell out “tax cuts” a few million times. Larry Summers will also be on hand so that George Snufalufagus has somebody to ridicule, and then, at the roundtable, it’s Robert Reich, disgraced, washed up, has-been Newt Gingrich, George :jerk: Will, and Claire “mid” Shipman. <\/p>\n

Mitch McConnell isn’t on anywhere this week, but I just wanted to add that he’s a prick.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, you get one more shot to watch some football (sort of), when NBC airs the Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n

Later, on 60 Minutes, Katie Couric will gush and fawn over US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and his flight crew (apparently there was some sort of plane landing in the Hudson River the other day; I don’t think it’s been covered in the news much). Katie gets a double segment for this one. Then Steve Kroft reports on Coldplay, including a “candid” interview with Chris Martin. <\/p>\n

\"100%In answer to a question I saw yesterday asking “Who DIDN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T take the roids,” the answer is: me<\/em><\/strong>
 
I have taken neither steroids nor human growth hormone. All this male pulchritude is 100% natural, baby.
 
And I’m packin’ one helluva stimulus package, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you read on some blog somewhere that somebody is claiming to have been “banned” from here, just know that it aint true. They’ve either forgotten their password\/username\/e-mail address (more likely all three) and are therefore incapable of retrieving their password, or they’re lying. <\/p>\n

Or both.<\/p>\n
