Something like a majority of Russian pregnancies end in abortion. Their army is approaching majority-Muslim status and pretty soon won't be taking orders from the Kremlin. And now their oil is worth almost 1/3 of what it used to be. They are way more fucked than we are.
How much less would college cost if they eliminated any bullshit department that wasn't around in 1950? (Computer science stays because it's an offshoot of math and engineering.) Not just that, but Western civilization might actually survive if our best and brightest didn't spend 4 years learning to despise it.
Trish Regan is climbing the charts (mine, which mean nothing). Margaret Brennan is a freaking dream to look at, so clearly there's a reason she's a bit player. I think the sad truth is that she can only read scripted reports (which are always the same anyway--retailers are hurting!) and can't improv.
# 88: "No one is suffering more than the Palestinians." --Barack Obama Only, say, Ahmadinejad would say that, and even then not sincerely. The moral outlook that Obama's statement reveals should have torpedoed his candidacy, but instead it's a minor factoid. You'd also think he'd have been eliminated after insulting about half the country, or even trying to relate to Joe Average by citing the price of arugula at Whole Foods, but at this point someone could find a dead hooker in Obama's trunk and it would mean one day of bad press.
Seriously, Joe...email me a draft of the OB every morning and I'll proofread it. I'm sure a hundred other Dealbreakers would volunteer as well.
"(the intolerable Keith Olbermann, the awesome Rachel Maddow)" How does that make sense? She's pretty much Olbermann as a lesbian. Just like that guy Richard Wolffe (salt & pepper hair, trendy glasses) is Olbermann as a Brit. So, not only do his guests have to agree with him, they have to look like him, too.
Someone here once said her BF is a high yield trader at Citi. That was like a year ago; if Citi dumped him then, sadly, I'm sure Erin did too.
I still don't get the relevance of Arianna Huffington. What does this bitch know about anything?
Blown opportunity to borrow Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" if you ask me.
Vanity Fair is a serious publication? The most recent issue has an article, apparently not tongue-in-cheek, claiming that the political press has a "man-crush" on John McCain and is openly hostile to Barack Obama. "Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank wryly noted the clashing contrast in hospitality accorded to McCain and Obama when they spoke before the nation’s newspaper editors in April: "The putative Republican presidential nominee was given a box of doughnuts and a standing ovation. The likely Democratic nominee was likened to a terrorist." Only a nightly guest on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" could say that with a straight face.
I'm lovin' the Australian fill-in for Erin Burnett. Melissa Lee just don't cut it.
NWA will never be the same without Eazy-E.
Are you thinking of Annuale? http://www.hulu.com/watch/10234/saturday-night-live-annuale
It annoys the fuck out of me that McCain is honest enough to admit he's no economics expert. That just gives Obama the perfect soundbyte to to play over and over, when it's not like Obama knows jack shit. If he did, maybe his wife would have a more nuanced understanding of business than thinking there's the "moneymaking industry" and the "helping-people industry."
Re "The Greenest Show on Earth: Democrats Gear Up for Denver (WSJ):" that might be the first WSJ stipple portrait you can jerk off to.
Trish Regan and Melissa Francis often wear bright yellow, pink or blue, but Becky probably hates Erin most of all.
How does one get on the career path toward Senior VP of Jailbait Development over at DIS?
Blah blah blah. 9/11 woke us up to the pathologies of the Middle East, and Iraq was the logical place to start. You can criticize the invasion as idiotic, but so is the notion that all our problems were confined to Afghanistan, which is either the outermost edge of the Middle East or not a part of it at all.
More like Sandra Bullock.
Have we ever had a Lionel Hutz-style ambulance chaser as Attorney General?
