Remote Wars: McCain Beats Wife, Obama Total Fag

Here's some useless info from Entertainment Weekly:

WALNUTS!:

EW: Who controls the remote at home, you or Cindy?

McCain: Sometimes I win the arm wrestling contest, but foolishly she continues to try to assert her control over the remote. This is a battle that will continue for a long time. But there are shows we agree on. We like the reruns of Seinfeld. I really like Curb Your Enthusiasm. I kind of like Dexter, too, although it certainly has a macabre side to it. I'll tell you that Cindy likes Big Love — I haven't watched it much, but she enjoys that. And I like The Wire a lot, too. That's a great show.


And St. Barack:

EW: So neither of you are fascists when it comes to the remote?

Obama: If I tell her, ''Sweetie, we've got game 5 of the NBA finals on,'' she's willing to give me a little slack. Most of the time, though, the TV is on HGTV, and I suffer that silently.

Rachel Maddow May Get Own Slot On MSNBC

From NY Times:


For clues about who might be next to get a show on MSNBC, viewers need not have looked further than “Countdown” earlier this month. For eight nights beginning just before the Fourth of July, Rachel Maddow, the host of a program on Air America, the liberal talk-radio network, served as a substitute for the vacationing Keith Olbermann.

“At some point, I don’t know when, she should have a show,” said Phil Griffin, hours before he was promoted on Wednesday to president of MSNBC. “She’s on the short list. It’s a very short list. She’s at the top.”

....Which raises a question: Does she think America is ready for an openly gay host on cable news at night?

“Well, I think Ellen DeGeneres has shown people are ready for her,” Ms. Maddow said, using a morning-show analogy. “But I will not dance the way Ellen does.”

The Gays Are Coming

As if Bravo, AC 360, and HGTV weren't enough, sodomists will not rest until every hour of every channel is filled with buttseks.

From Waldo Lydecker:

Something's clearly going on in the world of television, because since then, gay people kissing is busting out all over the place.

...For the rest of us who've spent- well, some of us of a certain age- a really really long time never expecting to see anything like our lives portrayed honestly and respectfully anywhere, it's kinda nice to have lived this long.
