Under your scenario, it’s possible such a news program might yield impressive content. Unfortunately, broadcast journalism today operates under a variant of Gresham’s Law – Bad Content Drives Out Good Content
C-SPAN is not a news organization in the strictest sense. However, Washington Journal does provide news headlines and decent interviews and is way more informative than all of the other morning shows combined.

I’ve always been that way about hauting Highlands/Islands music. When I was a little girl, my pianist uncle used to tell all the grownups, with a wicked twinkle, “Watch this.” Then he would start to play the Skye Boat Song. Within seconds my small tear-stained face would peer around the music room door, and I would sob “It’s so beauty!” I’m within spittin’ distance of 70 now and the SBS (and many others) still reduces me to a quivering moist jelly. Thanks for adding to the repertoire of Music That Makes Siubhan Cry.
I also want to weep — when I’m not gnashing my teeth in rage — at what certainly appears to be craven capitulation by the White House. I’ll wait to make a final judgment until there’s an actual bill to be signed or vetoed, but right now I am depressed as hell and horribly disappointed in Obama. I hope he still comes through but I’m growing more pessimistic by the hour.

1 tbsp fresh minced ginger, or 2 tsp dried
2 green onions, choppedsalt & pepper to taste
skillet
Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. While pan is preheating, rub tuna with 1 tbsp lemon juice, season with a little salt & pepper. Sear tuna for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, and remove from pan. This will cook it rare (it will be cool pink in the center). Remove and place on serving platter. Turn heat down to medium and add remaining lemon juice & the rest of ingredients to pan and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over tuna and serve immediately.

Let’s put it bluntly: take your pets and fuck off. Call us when you can master human relationships.
I generally like this site, because I generally agree with John and Doug’s take on things, even though it’s almost 100% reactive. You’ll never be in the same league as Sully, Yglesias, Ezra Klein, Krugman, Kevin Drum, Anonymous Liberal, Taibbi–oh wait! They actually report shit, you just snark after it’s all reported. Nice gig if you can get it.
But this pet shit has to go. Though I can understand why you feature it, God knows you’re not doing any research tonight.

Also. ‘Proof of life’? What is that about. I have no dobut that Tunchismo abides timelessly in its raspy meowing glory.
I guess we are to infer that Cole has survived another day, from evidence of an unseen presence being vaguely useful to his Tunchness.
And, now, I don’t wanna get banned, but first thing I thought about the Lilty The Dog pic is, well, what I see of Lily wrt Steelers, is a dog lifting its leg. It was called scratching. I will take this blog’s word for it, for in Balloon-Juice I trust.

We were not military brats, we were military, used to fleeting relationships, both of us had a bad marriage behind us, but when we met we just knew, for some reason. We have been through all sorts of hell in those years but somehow we (and inanimate objects around us) have managed to survive. The most recent out and out, screaming at the top of our lungs, fight that we had was about Barry Bonds (me he took steroids he should be banned, him there is no proof), go figure.

What a great idea. At the very least you’d have created 75 new jobs at the cost of losing one job, and since that job belonged to an airhead who cares. I’m sure that most TV news readers on Fox/CNN/MSNBC could find jobs in the “erotic services” section of Craigslist. I mean look at Maria Bartiromo’s interview of John Thain and tell me that she couldn’t make a living by sucking cock. Look at Chris Wallace’s interview with Dick Cheney and tell me that he couldn’t make a living letting leather daddys lead him around on a leash and use him as a toilet.

Um… I was just thinking, could cat vasectomy be unbanned long enough to give out his e-mail address. Sounds like some one I would like to do business with. I have a Remarkable business opportunity, but which must be kept secret and requires the utmost Discretion.

Olbermann’s takedown of Beck was awesome. But compared to Beck’s actual teh stupid, even KO’s best writing is a pale shadow. I don’t think even Colbert or Stewart’s crew could adequately satirize that. He’s like if Art Bell got a prime time show.

If you do, video tape and post it on YouTube. I know you freaks like teh animal secks but usually you peeps stick to the live ones. Boffing animal pictures posted on a web site is taking it to a whole new level.
Hopefully you have a monitor with some depth to it though it now occurs to me that it’s more likely that a flat screen is the perfect fit for you.

Tunch has the sweetest little voice! If that’s what he sounds like when he’s complaining, what’s he sound like when he’s feeling all mellow and loving?
