When I heard my friend, John McCain, say this:

I thought to myself, since when were retarded assholes allowed to run for President?  Of course, it didn’t take me long to answer that one for myself. 

For this Friday’s video stroll, I would like to share this video that I saw about Iran.  Thank you to To Hell With Culture for posting this.

Every once in a while a public official spouts something so completely off base that it borders on the ridiculous.  I respectfully chronicle those vacations of mental pragmatism in a segment I like to call CHRONICLES OF PEOPLE MISSING THE POINT. 

Without missing a beat, MSNBC has filled the Don “I’m not a racist, I just talk like one” Imus show with the Cho Seung-Hui show. 

Steve Capus, President of MSNBC said of the change:

This was such a difficult decision.  It really took some soul searching.  Here, let me put this bat shit crazy ranting on continuous loop so you can see how difficult it was.

I was talking to my friend, Chris Matthews, about the decision. 

Chris:  Look at the vest on that guy!  That means he was really planning to reload.

Boo:  I think I’ve seen enough.

Chris:  It’s just so tragic.  LOOK AT HOW CRAZY HE IS!  LOOK!  AGAIN!!!

I had to leave because Tucker wouldn’t stop playing with his Asian Ken doll.

Tucker:  I’m crazy!  I’m just so CCCRRRAAAZZZZZYYYYYYYYY.  Pointing my guns at you!  Pointing my guns at you sane people.  Pow pow pow  …..

I walked out … OK, I ran, past the music guys composing cool, yet tragic synthesizer riffs for the story, into Brian Williams. 

Brian:  Whoa there, Boo.  You almost messed up my concealer.

Boo:  Sorry, Brian.  You know how I love you, Brian.

Brian:  Yeah.

Boo:  Can I ask you something?

Brian:  Only if I can answer with my cool as milk Brian Williams charm.

Boo: … OK.  Why was it that all the news stations immediately stated that what occurred wasn’t terrorism?

Brian:  Because it wasn’t.  No Arabs were involved.

Boo:  Yes, but … isn’t what Cho Seung-Hui did the very definition of terrorism?  Is the media just conditioning the American people that Arabs equal terrorism? 

Brian:  Yes … but … I need go be handsome elsewhere.

Boo:  OK then …

And there you have it.  MSNBC – hitting the target, but missing the point.   And thus, MSNBC is inducted into CHRONICLES OF PEOPLE MISSING THE POINT.

Congratulations.  Your certificate is in the mail.

Hello all! 

First, thanks for all the wonderful emails wondering where the hell I am.  You thought I was either:

1.  On the lamb

2.  Converted to neoconism

3.  Trapped under something very heavy.

4.  Busy with work.

Well, the answer is #4 (no, there isn’t a prize if you guessed correctly … so sorry.  How about my undying affection??).  I’ve been writing a lot with some harsh deadlines, but at least Alberto and I have a few extra hours to rehearse his bit before the Congressional Committee. 

The great news is that I will be joining Chey Bell tomorrow on Now Live! to discuss racism in the media, focusing mainly on someone who’s never been my friend, Don Imus.  The show starts at 1:00 pm PST!

And now on to the writing … and blogging everyday ~~~~

Until then,

Cheers~

Members on both sides of the aisle love to accuse the other of “playing politics”.  Playing politics with the troops; the climate; the war; the terrorists; puppies. 

That’s right, politicians are accusing other politicians of “playing politics”.  I have a better idea -

WHY DON’T YOU WORK AT POLITICS?! 

That’s right … those of you voted into your job by us, the citizens of this country, are politicians.  Your job is to look for political solutions to complicated problems like, say, the entire Middle East.  What pissed us off in the first place is that a retarded cowboy and his cronies in office bombed the shit out of a country pre-emptively without seeking a political [read: diplomatic] solution. 

So why not work at politics?  And if you think someone is “playing politics”, play them this clip:

You might think that’s a monkey throwing poop at you, but it’s not.  It’s former Senator Rick Santorum talking shit about Terry Shiavo. 

Now get to work.
