This is no surprise to me; ever see a dozen MS zombies quoting from the same anti-Apple script in the same thread? Awesome, scary and retarded, all at the same time.

Oh Jonah. Do you have any dignity left?

And because it's funny-
what_now: As he hovered outside the room, Jonah took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself. He told himself again that he was his career needed this. Ever since he'd been caught plagiarizing his column for the NRO, his stock in the world of conservative punditry was lower than Tucker Carlson's. His phone just wasn't ringing- not even Hannity wanted him on.

Sure, he'd gotten an offer by that Maddow woman but he was afraid that if he went on her show, and stared at her flat chest, soft skin, and short hair, so reminiscent of a young boy on his first flush of manhood, willing to experim.... No. He couldn't go there. Couldn't let himself think of...that night.

He composed himself, turned the knob, and went in. Boehner was already waiting for him, a wry smile on his face, a glass of scotch in his hand, and his $3,000 suit in a crumpled ball on the floor.

Heh, last night I was explaining to my mom and dad, who exclusively get all their news and opinion from FoxNews and conservative talk radio, about credit default swaps and how their overuse and abuse has been the largest factor in the economic crisis. Neither of them had ever heard of a CDS before. They listen to talk radio all day long and my dad has FoxNews on a good part of each evening, you'd think by now they would be at least slightly informed, but nope.

I learned about all about it by listening to NPR on my drive to and from work, 10 minutes each way.

And she's the editor of NRO? Gonna be pretty hard to say "whoops we printed the wrong column" there.

 
Dan the Schman [TotalFark] 2009-03-27 02:30:39 PM  
It's okay, everyone.

The Daily Show and Colbert Report wouldn't have been able to cover this and the Snuggies anyway, since it's Friday and they don't do shows on Friday.

The Republicans appear to have given up on acting in a manner that might prevent themselves from being mocked. Perhaps they do it out of ignorance... believing that everybody is laughing with them and not at them. Perhaps they do it for some vain need for attention... because even if they are mocking you they are at least looking at you. Or more likely they have taken to heart the axiom of their parent's that people make fun of you because they are jealous... not realizing that this was a little a lie that their parents told them to get them to stop crying themselves to sleep every night.

Tlak-show hosts rarely mention CDSes, CDOs and things like that because it's too hard to put the blame for those on Barney Frank, or the CRA.

CDS exists in reality, which has a liberal bias just like NPR, so I think my point is ban all things with three-letter initialisms and you're a libtard.

It's an update on the link up top. But no real evidence of a 'fight' yet, but Louie isn't corroborating Jonah's story just yet.

Best reporting I have heard about the financial crisis (in words terms that anybody can understand) has been on This American Life (also on NPR).

Anybody who wants to talk about the economic crisis intelligently needs to listen to these three episodes.

The Giant Pool of Money (new window)
Another Frightening Show About the Economy (new window)
Bad Bank (new window)

ahhhh, ok. don't know how i managed to read right through that to the third update and not have it register. thanks

The answer is simple- Jonah consumed Kathryn in a fit of preternatural hunger. Or not. There's always room for J-Lo.

The Week America's Economy Almost Died (new window)

is a good explanation of why people were sh*tting their pants around the time of the bailout. Whether people agree the bailout was the right remedy or not, it's a good background on why it was proposed/considered in the first place.

It's a quick story, produced in collaboration with This American Life, but I thought it was pretty well done.

OR... the GOP take their chance on their Big Ideas when S & C are off just in case it backfires, so they aren't instantly panned.

That does kind of give them credit for strategizing, tho....
