Barbaro is dead and an astronaut behaves badly. I think Cheny had a hand in both these stories happening and coming to light.

OK, I agree that this is a stupid story. But what I don’t get is Trex being able to so knowingly smear the “cocky” pilot “who doubtless led her on.” Doubtless? I don’t understand how Trex, in a post dedicated to ripping the simplistic media coverage about a tragic situation would drag the male pilot into it for a dose of blame. I actually find this whole post to be a tad flip and stereotypical, even as I agree with the gist of it.

I swear this was the lineup of stories on my local news the other night:

1. Ryan O’Neal shoots at son.
2. 1,000 dead in Iraq in one week.
3. The sighting of a possibly rabid raccoon in a suburb.
4. Update on the Libby trial.

Each story was given the exact same weight and time.

Good morning (to you east-coaster’s one presumes) from the left coast. Woke up, couldn’t get back to sleep.

As to the media frenzy, whattaya expect? They do it because we fat, stoopid(tm) residents of the U.S. portion of America lap that shit up. Whattaya expect them to talk about their complicity in the BushCo agenda; a clear failure of professional ethics? That don’t make money.

As to Amaeche, I was at Penn State when he was our star hoopster. There was talk…and my gaydar was pinging. When I heard yesterday about his coming out, I couldn’t help but shout out (a quiet shout)YEESSSSSS! I KNEW IT!

I did enjoy watching him play in Rec Hall but never got to really meet him so sorry Trex, I can’t fill you in on those things you’re wondering about. I’ll just say this: on the court, he was versatile.

Posting a tad late in real time, but this is a goodie. Imus = must-see Teevee these days:

Yep, she’s one of the archangels of death. Medusa’s on Imus right now going batshit haranguing. Carville must be out of the country. She’s going to take $500 from her Imus ranch contribution fund to give to the Scooter Libby defense fund. And we’re supposed to have sympathy for Libby? Tell it to Chelsea Clinton.

Does this woman realize she’s helping Fitzgerald?

Why is it happening, Medusa?

Because you guys OUTED a COVERT CIA AGENT and then conspired to COVER IT UP. Because this ain’t beanbag. It’s 3000+ American lives in Iraq.

Ah, the smell of panic in the morning…. can you say u.n.g.l.u.e.d?
