Missing Emails Found, Frozen in Carbonite

by The Station Agent

Because everything having anything to do with politics is disgusting and frustrating, the missing Bush administration emails that could potentially implicate senior officials in numerous scandals won't be made public until 2022.

I'm thinking about going into the IST Stasis Chamber until then. Probably a bad idea, since the Kennedy stuff hasn't even come out yet, but a nice, long freeze nap sounds nice.

Maybe I'll just set the controls for 2012 when Holy Joe is up for re-election. That should be fun.

Fox Catapaults New Propaganda: Lower Minimum Wage

by The Station Agent

That's a brilliant idea. Soon they won't have to pay us at all.

Pardon My French...

But...



That was Paul Gogarty, a member of Ireland's Green Party, lashing out at a Labour Party member who pissed him right off.

Amusing Protest Signs

by The Station Agent

Huffington Post has a pretty decent collection of images of the battle in the streets among protesters, fought before cell phone cameras with nothing but enthusiasm and signs. This is one of the images included. The rest are here.

Keep Talking

by The Station Agent

While Karl Rove goes on Fox News and tries to "convince" Bill O'Reilly that the Bush Administration has a positive environmental legacy, and while deniers cling to the thin reed of climate-gate, low-lying atolls are being flooded and the people living on islands around the world are going to need a new place to live.

Programming Note

by The Station Agent

Much to the chagrin of President Obama, Charlie Brown's Christmas message will be heard loud and clear, unobstructed by pesky speeches about trifles like our endless military engagement in Afghanistan, tonight at 8pm on ABC.

I will be watching something from the DVR, quite possibly Meet the Natives or Dollhouse. Other than that, I've pretty much given up on real TV until Lost starts.

Possible Third Party Runs are Catnip

by The Station Agent

First Lou Dobbs opened the door to a third party presidential run in 2012. Now Sarah Palin is dropping hints. How much of the Republican nominee's share of the electorate is going to be devoured by extraneous teabagger campaigns? Still, I don't know if I buy the assumption that the Republicans will not nominate Sarah Palin. Sure the establishment of the party, at least the McCain campaign insiders, hates her like poison, but the neocons, Rush Limbaugh, hard right evangelicals and the NRA-types all adore her. If not Sarah Palin, then who?
