"Well, President-elect Barack Obama and his family are gonna spend the holidays in his home state of Hawaii. And you know who couldn't be more thrilled with this? The press, the reporters who follow the president. Well, think about it. After eight years of spending every holiday cutting brush in Crawford, Texas, they get to go to Hawaii!" --Jay Leno
The-World-Will-Be-A-Safer-Place-Without George W. Bush
The wiretaps portray what prosecutors call blatant corruption: Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich scheming to barter Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat for a Cabinet post, an ambassadorship or high-paying jobs for himself and his wife...."The weakness in the government's case seems to be that Blagojevich schemed to do things but didn't actually do them," Chicago defense attorney John Beal said.
"Barack
Obama says he is promising not to smoke cigarettes while in the White House. I
don't know. Is that a big issue for the American people? [on screen: a woman in
the audience yells 'Yes!']. Really? You care if he smokes? Let me tell you
something, okay? If he fixes the economy, he can smoke a bong in the White
House." --Jay Leno
Disturbing News
"Shocking news out of Illinois today. Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges, including the allegation that he was selling Barack Obama's vacant senate seat. Now, I personally am surprised Obama even needed a seat. I thought he just levitated." --Stephen Colbert
Texas Messing In Minnesota
The FBI is investigating allegations in two lawsuits accusing a friend and political supporter of Sen. Norm Coleman of attempting to funnel $75,000 to Coleman from the coffers of a Texas company that the friend controls.

Hi Lisa, I am a person who leaves her radio on 24/7. Over night, I listen to "Coast to Coast" (the old Art Bell Show) and WABC is the only radio station I can seem to get, for that show, on the dial around here. Other than that, I never listen to WABC radio (a huge, 50,000 watt station, covering the vast NYC area) because all of their shows (save CTC) are just vicious hate radio hosts such as Laura Ingram, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, et al. Okay, I THOUGHT it couldn't get any worse - until this morning, when I awoke to their newest addition to their lineup, Joe Freaking Scarborough! They have teamed him up with some broad who carry's his water while he spews to worst hate imaginable! All anti-Obama sneers, and the smug, know-it-all attitude which was just shocking to me - especially at a crisis time in America, when we SHOULD be pulling together - he was doing his best to drive a huge wedge and turn people against the President elect. Oh, and in between, he was defending the Blackwater men who killed several innocent people in Baghdad - saying "That's their job" and the people should have stayed away from Blackwater vehicles - OR ELSE "that's what they get," yada. yada, yada! I threw my slipper at the radio and ran to change the dial! Thank God for NPR!I guess my thought is, "Why don't these hate-mongers just go away?" It just kills me that they are afforded airtime to spread their lies, and that apparently people in the area are listening to them! Knowing that you have had your fun with the Scarborough people, I thought I'd share this latest assault on our senses here on the East coast radioland. I also wanted to vent, you know?
Your friend,Sally P Northern NJ PS: I don't have cable TV, but I understand Scarborough also has a cable show, but with a smaller audience. God help us all...
Almost fifteen years later Joe has his own show on MSNBC and radio, too.
Methinks Sarah may end up on FoxNews. She'd be more popular than Bill O'Reilly!
Sarah and Joe both appeal to the lowest common denominator, the God and Guns people. Joe is just better at concealing that fact.
Thank you for venting Sally.

Odd News
In the edgy
age of cell phones, video game consoles and hip-hop, Czech teens have clung as
well to the gentler habits of a bygone era, taking traditional ballroom dancing
and etiquette courses. Every year, thousands aged 15-18 attend such courses to
learn rituals established at the time of the Austro-Hungarian empire that
continued throughout the oppressive years of communism.
Peace.
