Brick TeeVee is a preview of the Sunday Talking Head Shows beamed across America by Corporate Media, plus some good progressive radio and who will be on which show. If you have other Sunday Talkie shows' guest lists we don't have, please share below. Post your comments while you watch! It's fun, it's healthy and doggonit at least we'll know others can also see through the media manipulation that blankets our public airwaves. DEBUNK HERE!
So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!Welcome to all the Moms out there who will acually be able to sit and watch an entire Talking Head show in peace while their families wait on them hand-and-foot! Well, that's how it's SUPPOSED TO WORK (Hey! You kids!) Boy are you in for a treat, moms! BARACK OBAMA will "work across the aisle" with U-Boat Captain Blitzer! WOW! (that's MOM upside down!) CHRIS DODD backs him up on Meet the Tim as does DAVID AXLEROD "working across the aisle" at fauxnews. Timeh then gives TERRY MCAULIFFE some softballs so MCAWFUL can make it to Face the Bob. Speaking of Face the Bob, JOHN EDWARDS will be asked to size up the two remaining candidates and make a prediction, as will HARRY REID, who tries to sell his new book "The Good Fight" to George Snuffagupolis. The WH/Pentagon Hummer Limo adds to global warming with 3-Star RICARDO SANCHES where Wolfie begins every question with "Oh Rickey!" a la Lucille Ball! HAHA! Wind up those Mom's Day Bricks for BEN STEIN on faux and ROY BLUNT on Wolfie. Later, GO BANANAS on 60 Minutes. Find out about the Taxpayer Assistance and Simplification Act, your diet “In Defense of Food”, KEVIN PHILLIPS, and “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation” on Ring of Fire Radio. AAR's Sam Seder may only have a few shows left as his contract with AAR is up soon, so TUNE IN! The Brick TeeVee crew is more interested in watching the grass grow than cutting it or watching the Sunday bobbleheads. But, they say, their new ELECTRIC LAWN MOWER will be here any day now! Nevermind that the lawn is starting to look like a jungle. City Hall Weed Ordinance Violation, here we come!
RIP Oma 1922 - 2005
