MSNBC did what? And some other things on my mind.

So let me get this straight; MSNBC suspends Keith Olbermann for donating money to dumbocratic candidates, and their rivals, Radio Rwanda, allows their on air personalities to run for republican office? I swear liberals are getting softer and softer by the day. You all have got to get hard core like the republiclowns. Do you think Radio Rwanda would fire one of their biggest earners over some s^&t like this? Hell News Corp gave over a million dollars to that racist- right out of central casting- Haley Barbour, and didn't even sweat it.

Still, like Aaron Goldstein, I smell a rat. You know the world is upside down when conservatives are ripping MSNBC for suspending Olbermann.

"Perhaps Olbermann violated NBC News “policy and standards.” But NBC doesn’t have real news standards for MSNBC—otherwise the channel wouldn’t exist. It’s a little strange to get all high and mighty now.

But there’s now a Republican House, and perhaps GE is trying to curry favor by dumping Olbermann?"

The moon must be blue tonight, because I agree with the wingnut thinker, Bill Kristol, on this one.

Only two years for Johannes Mehserle? Sorry Oscar, maybe if you were a dog your killer would have gotten more time. Hey, that's what Michael Vick got for killing dogs. I am just sayin.

But I don't want to turn this into another one of those kinds of posts. Now that we are living in post racial A-merry-ca it wouldn't be cool. Wait....

Finally, the republiclowns were up in arms about this 200 million dollar a day trip his O ness is taking to India. (That doesn't even sound right. It costs 190 million to keep a thousand troops in Afghanistan every day.) Well, as is often the case with wingnuts, it turns out that they were wrong. This, of course, didn't stop the wingnut media machine from parroting this false story for the last couple of days. It's what they do. Turns out the source of the cost to A-merry-ca for an A-merry-can president's trip, was an Indian official who told this to an Indian news outlet. Let that sink in for a minute.....

"According to FactCheck, the rumor originated in a Nov 02 article in the Press Trust of India, which cited an anonymous "top official" in one of India's local governments as the source. The figure quickly spread online and was picked up by the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh and Rep Michele Bachmann, who complained about it on Anderson Cooper last night. When Cooper challenged Bachmann on the figures, the Minnesota rep was ready with a response: "Well these are the numbers that have been coming out in the press," Bachmann answered..." [Story]

A-merry-ca, what have you done?
