Cheney: The Worst VP Ever
Really? Huh... Could've fooled me! A new poll released this week by CNN shows Americans feel Dick Cheney
was the worst Vice President in history. In a response by the VP himself, he says he doesn't care.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll lists 64% of those polled graded Cheney as "poor" or worst VP ever. You're likely holding your breath to hear how many of those polled said he was the best VP ever... 1%. Yes, really. One percent! And with the sampling error of plus or minus 3%, that could even be an error.
The poll asked over one thousand people for their opinion, but I'm sure it's dead on. Can you say 23 days and counting?

RIP: Eartha Kitt
Sex kitten and Catwoman - Eartha Kitt - died on Christmas Day.
FYI: This lazy bitch has just been posting videos this weekend. I'll get over it soon.

Oh, Those Silly Christ-o-phobes

Double Showcase Winner!
If I were hosting The Price Is Right, I would have put a little more energy into announcing a huge winner like this! Maybe Drew Carey isn't right here.

Kennedy Supports Full Marriage Equality
This may come as a surprise to some given most Democrats' unwillingness to go this far, but 
Caroline Kennedy, who is vying for the junior Senate seat in New York, says she fully supports gay marriage. Politico.com submitted seven questions to her and received answers - to most of them.
In one question, they posited "Same-sex marriage. Do you support the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry? Do you think it's appropriate that Rick Warren, who campaigned to ban gay marriage, is delivering the invocation at Obama's inauguration? If not, have you expressed that to the president-elect?"
Her answer was simply:

Her answer was simply:
Caroline supports full equality and marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples.Other answers indicate she has never supported the war in Iraq, but fully supports Bush's auto industry quasi-bailout. And there were several non-answers, which means she's a shoe-in.

Bush In A Single Word
"Incompetent." This chart needs no explanation, but if world citizens could use a single word to describe President George W. Bush, they would use "incompetent." Four years ago, it was "honest." Enough said.
Mika's Mugging
MSNBC's Morning Joe co-anchor Mika Brzezinski was mugged yesterday morning while leaving her hotel in Washington, DC. Here's the video of the recap.

Oh, And Barney Frank Too!
I erred in omitting Rep. Barney Frank
from my list of those who oppose Rick Warren's invitation to the inaugural events. Here's his quote.
from my list of those who oppose Rick Warren's invitation to the inaugural events. Here's his quote.I am very disappointed by President-elect Barack Obama's decision to honor Reverend Rick Warren with a prominent role in his inauguration. Religious leaders obviously have every right to speak out in opposition to anti-discrimination measures, even in the degrading terms that Rev. Warren has used with regard to same-sex marriage. But that does not confer upon them the right to a place of honor in the inauguration ceremony of a president whose stated commitment to LGBT rights won him the strong support of the great majority of those who support that cause.(Thanks Towleroad!)
It is irrelevant that Rev. Warren invited Senator Obama to address his congregation, since he extended an equal invitation to Senator McCain. Furthermore, the President-Elect has not simply invited Rev. Warren to give a speech as part of a series in which various views are presented. The selection of a member of the clergy to occupy this uniquely elevated position has always been considered a mark of respect and approval by those who are being inaugurated.
The Rick Warren Fallout
Barack Obama has some fallout to deal with following his choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. The staunch anti-gay, Prop 8-supporting, right-wing, trash-talking "preacher" should never have been invited to this event. Here's why.
Reason 1:
Reason 2:
Reason 3: Warren feels homosexual people are immature.
Who agrees with me? Keith Olbermann. Rachel Maddow. Think Progress. Anderson Cooper (kinda).

Larry King Loses His Heterosexuality
Hmmm... I am not sure what to make of this, but Larry King made an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman this week. Responding later on his blog, King said:
"Tub Time with Larry King!!!"
The tub was slippery. The scene was romantic...so romantic that I almost - almost, lost my heterosexuality. And to tell you the truth, I think Jim felt the same way. The lighting was perfect. The Champagne wasn't bad either. The bubbles were very...bubbly. All it lacked was music. Sinatra would have been nice.

CNN Headline News Rebrands As HLN
CNN's 
Headline News channel rebrands this week with a semi-new name and a new look. HLN becomes the official name of the quasi-news channel with the subtitle "NEWS AND VIEWS." You may also have noticed CNN and HLN have transitioned to a "flipper" as opposed to a scrolling news bar at the bottom of the screen.
An internal memo cites a "tradition" of full names being eventually known as their initials (i.e. Turner Network Television becoming TNT and Turner Broadcasting System becoming TBS).
It's a Turner thing.

Chrysler Shuts Down... For A Month
This is more like it. Instead of sitting around waiting for my tax dollars,
Chrysler is going to do something about it. Every Chrysler plant is shutting down Friday for a month. It's normal for automotive plants to shut down over the holidays, but it's usually just two weeks.
Maybe this will help a little. Stop making the cars that no one is buying. Good plan. GM? Ford? Did you hear this?

'Today' Takes On Prime Time, Again
Another NBC show is taking on prime time. First it was Jay Leno's announcement he will take his five-night-a-week show prime time next fall. Now, Today
, the network's daily morning program, will take a prime time slot next week. This is the second time in recent years the program has created a prime time show.
Monday's (12/22) show will look back on the five biggest stories and the five biggest newsmakers of 2008. The recap show will feature Matt Lauer, Meredith Viera, Ann Curry and Al Roker, as well as the show's regular contributors and correspondents.
Stay tuned for Spring 2010 when Today will air a daily six-hour show. Just kidding. Maybe.

Someone Needs To Cut Him Off!
Drew Peterson
plans to marry again. Name doesn't ring a bell? It should. He's killed two previous wives. Errr... maybe he hasn't been convicted of killing them, but they surely did (a) die suspiciously and (b) disappear from the face of the earth.
What's more? She's 23. Peterson is 54. His most-recent (currently missing) wife was also 23.
Sometimes there's a point when certain breeders should be stopped from breeding or even getting married. "They" say we gays shouldn't marry. This is a story about why we should. What do you say about cutting him off? Just throw him in jail until he's 100.
He's a scoundrel and he gives me the willies just by his looks alone. Then, he opens his mouth.
