Schadenfreude Monday!

I wonder how long it’s going to be before the GOP start demanding federal money to protect Republican politicians? After all, the right wing think the Endangered Species Act is an essential piece of legislation!

The $50B Question: Where’s The Fucking Money, Bernie?

Federal prosecutors in the case of the United States vs Bernard L Madoff yesterday unsealed formal charges, and dear old Bernie is expected to plead guilty to all 11 counts, amongst them securities fraud, investment advisor fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements, perjury, false filing with the SEC, and theft from [...]

Science And Reason Trump Ignorance And Voodoo

As I watched President Obama lift Dubya’s ideologically driven ban on stem cell research funding live on CNN in a far away airport, I was once again truly thankful that the American people elected an intelligent (and sober!) centrist as our President. A group of eminent scientists and campaigners were there to witness the reversal:
“I [...]

Not What I Want to See as Waiting For a Flight

Is it outrageous to suggest that the aftermath of a plane crash may not be the most suitable televised programming to broadcast in airports?
I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of flying.  Actually, it’s more the taking off and the landing that concern me, but I’ve been informed they’re necessary aspects of the Point A [...]

Michael Phelps And The Bong Conspiracy

Much has been made of Olympic swim legend Michael Phelps’ youthful indiscretion of a bong hit while on a college campus in South Carolina. The local sheriff is trying to burnish his bad-ass law enforcement credentials in front of his voters by claiming Phelps “may face charges”, talking heads are filling air-time with their “think [...]

Joe The PWN’D

Wow, you know you’re plumbing subterranean depths of humiliation when even the gentle, animal loving LOLCats community at I Can Haz Cheesburger are making fun of you.

Rick Sanchez’s FU To Joe The Know-Nothing

“Samuel, let me talk to you directly….
First, I was born in a communist country, so I’m familiar with people like you — and Fidel Castro, by the way — not to name drop — who also think “that media should be abolished.”

CNN’s Dr Sanjay Gupta To be Named Surgeon General?!

[Howie Kurtz] is fucking with me. At least, that’s what I’d think had a friend emailed me to say that Sanjay Gupta will be named Surgeon General by President-elect Obama.
And this is Howie Kurtz:
“Gupta has told administration officials that he wants the job, and the final vetting process is under way. He has asked for [...]

Barney’s Last White House Christmas

Surreal, nauseating, and torturously over-long. Just like the Bush administration!
But at least Barney didn’t hilariously savage a reporter this time.

Science: Out; Ratings: In

Somebody needs to email CNN and tell them the Bushies and their band of Creationists are actually leaving town.
For some reason, and that reason is almost always money, CNN has shuttered its Science type unit. 
TVNewser has more:
“O’Brien’s departure comes as the network dismantles its science, space, environment and technology unit in Atlanta. That includes O’Brien as well [...]
