Desiring Machine

I would be the last to defend Paul Begala and James Carville, just on grounds of taste. But they have been pushed off of CNN until after the democratic primary due to complaints from the Obama campaign. In this brave new world of equal time are we willing to suggest that Harpo productions should close shop for the next few months? If I was to really stand here and suggest that Oprah should remain off the air because of her endorsement of Obama people would laugh. And I would gladly except the criticism that my suggestion was borderline fascist. Come on Obama if being an agent of change means repressing individuals freedom of speech, press, and assembly then I am not sure I like the change that you are peddling.

And just a little disclosure. CNN sucks, every time I watch that network I cringe, but that doesn’t mean that I think candidates should have a say on who should or shouldn’t be on the airwaves. If there are true conflicts of interest let the FCC and the FEC take that up. That is what those agencies are for.

I guess I just didn’t know there was a fried squirrel eating demographic. God bless regional differences.

As a side note I guess it is not the eating squirrel part that confounds me. Many people eat many different things all over the world. But the fact that it was prepared with an air pop popcorn maker, that’s downright creepy.

Bush is suppose to leave office on this date but what if he doesn’t? Video raises some interesting questions.
