Cash for Clunkers.
Not sure it’s a good idea (many good cars are being trashed; where are the libs with all of the landfill waste?), and not sure it’s fair that just the auto industry gets help (a guy in a district where a poultry-processing plant resides wanted a program called “Cash for Cluckers”), but it’s sure in the news this week!

Missy, I hope you’re wrong about the landfill thing. I know the law technically takes gashogs off the road, but I think its main purpose is to help auto dealers. Seems to me they should auction some off to get some of the revenue back, donate some, and crush the bad ones.
It’s always unfair to target one industry, but they can’t help all of them. There’s a lot of commission-only salesman making rent today.

Hot: The Beer Fest; Sgt. Crowley; Congress on a vacation; cash for clunkers.
Not Hot: Professor Gates;(what a loser);
Congress; The Health Care Non Bill;the constant nominee – Nancy Pelosi.

Calling Gates a loser is ridiculous.
August 1, 2009 at 10:24 am
Another Loser: Conan O’Brien!

Thanks for the thoughtful contributions, Lyons. Cyberspace would like its bandwidth back.

Calling Gates a loser is ridiculous.
Yes, it’s a shame that such a great scholar is only known by most Americans by this one incident.
My guess is that Dr. Gates, fatigued from his return from China, angry about not being able to open his damned door, lost his head and from there, well, things just got worse.
There are lots of example of injustices being done daily to black Americans.
Sadly.
This wasn’t one of them, I don’t think.

This wasn’t one of them, I don’t think.
Nope.

Lyons, what’s up w/Conan O’Brien?
August 1, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Missy,
There has been such a dust up from NBC’s moving Jay Leno and giving that slot to Conan.
And Conan’s show is so bad. His numbers are tanking. He is such a fool. The more his jokes fall flat, the more desparate he becomes.
Making faces, rocking back and forth, spinning around – a total idiot.
August 1, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Lyons, thanks. It was just idiotic what NBC did w/Leno, esp. since Leno’s ratings were still far better than Letterman’s, and O’Brien was truly a better fit in the very late-night category of humor.
August 1, 2009 at 2:28 pm
You are welcome, Missy. I admit that I am pretty hard on Conan.

HOT: Beer Summit.
NOT HOT: MSNBC’s daylong countdown clock for the beer summit. Even Robert Gibbs ripped them for it.
COLD AS ICE: Gates’ classless daughter criticizing Crowley’s 14 year old daughter for wearing too much mascara, and saying the police report was “fudged” in her column one day after the Summit. She clearly learned nothing from the “teachable moment”.

I’d love to know how Michelle Malkin ended up on This Week. She was babbling about people on unemployment sitting on their butts instead of looking for work. Cynthia Tucker had to point out to her that there IS no work, and when a job is posted, thousands show up. Malkin is dumb as a shoe.
August 2, 2009 at 2:14 pm
So many hot topics; so little air time.
HOT: FNC/GE summit. And it will continue to be a hot topic in the week to come.
HOT: Beer Garden meeting.
NOT: Some channels still milking the death of MJ.

Malkin is dumb as a shoe.
Racist! (heh)

Re: Malkin –
I was screaming at the television whenever she opened her crazy a s s mouth. The woman is the spokesperson for the craziest of the crazy.
