Domocrats finished their convention with the Obama/Biden '08 ticket amid Roman pillars and Stevie Wonder! So, as we come into the Corporate Networks' Fall Schedules, 60 MINUTES snags the FIRST INTERVIEW with the Democratic ticket. After that, you'd be hard pressed to find any other D's on the Sunday Funnies, except for Wolfie having on TOM DASCHLE (D-Washed Up) and CHRIS DODD (D-Telecom Immunity Filibuster Man, sort of) plus windsurfer JOHN "count all the votes" KERRY. Beyond that , it's wall to wall R's with TIM PAWLENTY on Meet the Tom and Wolfie, a heard of GOPhers on Face the Bob, including RUDY "Noun, verb, 911" GHOULIANI and JOEMENTUM. Nice. And ya goota tune in Freak News for their exclusive with JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN & The Straight Jacket Express. Good brick throwing practice. Did you watch any of RALPH NADER on Free Speech TV last week? NO? Lots of clips from the rally at FSTV http://freespeechtv.blip.tv/#1221251 . Don't forget to tune in Ring of Fire Radio with guest host SAM SEDER and an exclusive interview with DON SIEGELMAN. Good Item. The Brick TeeVee Crew has too many fresh tomatoes in the garden! Maybe we should change our name to Tomato TeeVee? See you at the Larry Craig Memorial Men's Bathroom in the MSP International Airport!

Stephanie Tubbs Jones was laid to rest Saturday. You can view some of the four-hour tribute at FOX8 News - Memorial Remembering Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Many politicos came to honor and remember Stephanie, including Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), Rep Kendrick Meeks (D-FL), Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and too many others to mention. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to: ****The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Scholarship Fund**** c/o The Cleveland Foundation 1422 Euclid Avenue, Suite 1300 Cleveland, OH 44115 You can also listen to WCPN Sound of Ideas - Tribute to Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones

Brick TeeVee R.I.P. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones

We at Brick TeeVee mourn the untimely death of US Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones OH-11. She was an amazing woman, a caring mother, and an unflappable voice for her constituents and for causes she believed in, too many to list here. Many remember her for her challenge to the counting of Ohio's Electoral College in January 2005. In fact, on the day she fell ill she held a meeting to organize Election Protection at Cleveland State University for Sept. 4th, fighting and organizing to make sure what happened in her district in 2004 would not happen again. We have lost a great liberal voice in the House of Representatives, our community and our country. Our deepest condolences go out to her family, constituents and all who knew her. She is sorely missed already.

**** **** **** **** tubbs-jones Stephanie Tubbs Jones September 10, 1949 – August 20, 2008 **** **** **** ****

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

With the Olympics in full swing you might think Russia picked a perfect time to INVADE South Ossetia of the Georgia Republic. The US Corporate media might have you thinking that, but Russia... moved tanks and troops into South Ossetia to protect its nationals and peacekeepers hours after Georgia launched a full-scale military offensive against its breakaway territory. So while NERO was getting drunk in China, The Big Bear made a move The West can do NOTHING about. To shore up this apparent weakness the White House Limo is all gassed up for The Shoe Lady and Chuck Schumer's Bestest Buddy. Defense Secretary ROBERT GATES gets dropped off at ABC and CNN while SHOE LADY RICE comes back from vacation and gets dropped off at CBS, NBC and FAKE NEWS. Both will bamboozle the American Public, invoking Cold War rhetoric while ignoring their plans to put a MISSLE DEFENSE in Poland and encourage other former Soviet Bloc countries to join the same NATO they once dismissed as "Old Europe" with their "Freedom Fries". Meanwhile, the Presidential Campaigns send out more surrogates to infiltrate the Public Large with their talking points. This George has TOM "I voted FOR the IWR" DASCHLE pitted against MITT "I caged my dog to the top of my car then went 60 mph" ROMNEY while Face the Bob has EVAN "bye" BAYH facing off TIM PAWLENTY. U-Boat Captain Blitzer continues the one-on-ones with veep short-listers ERIC CANTOR and BILL RICHARDSON. Wolfie also gets an exclusive with US-Backed Georgia President MIKHEIL SAAKASHVILI, who will gladly tell a US audience he was PUNKED (see above story). Plenty of brick-throwing opportunites abound! When you've had enough of THAT, check out VALERIE PLAME WILSON on 60 Minutes (repeat from spring) and Ring of Fire with SCOTT HORTON's latest on the DON SIEGELMAN case. The Brick TeeVee crew took the day off to see Angels @ Indians and a free concert at the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame with TERRIBLE TED NUGENT. Ted offered FREE machine guns to kids in the crowd and thanked our Armed Forces for "killing all the crazies". TRUE! Ah that Teddy! What a kidder! HAHA!

After a one-week hiatus we're back with all the Presidential Race Olympics coverage you can stand! Haha! The brouhaha over John Edwards tryst seems to dominate the cable news but C&L's John Amato opines in David Gregory: Broader implications for the party, "And they have the nerve to talk about betrayal of Edwards to the media and his wife — in that order. Why aren’t they more outraged about the betrayal of the White House to get us into a war?" And didja see GWB's mental gymnastics calling out the Chinese for THEIR extreme political policies? Good one! Pot meet Kettle, eh? While Obama takes a vacation, the air fills up with ever more surrogates from both sides, starting with BILL RICHARDSON up against BOBBY JINDAL. Face the Bob has TIM KAINE and KARL "Turd Blossom" ROVE (always a good BRICK target). U-Boat Captain Blitzer pits ED RENDELL against CHARLIE CRIST. The White House Limo gets a rare start for HANK PAULSON on Meet the Tom LIVE from Beijing and HUD Sec. STEVE PRESTON on Wolfie. Also on Late Edition it's Oil Guy Billionairre T. BOON PICKENS now spinning Wind Power and other renewable energy sources. DICK DURBIN gets the nod to appear on Fake News Sunday. To get away from the spin tune in Ring of Fire with substitute host SAM SEDER and guests SCOTT HORTON and THOMAS FRANK. Last week's yard sale took all the wind out of the Brick TeeVee crew for a lousy $40 but we have less junk! Our good deed was delivering a kitchen table and chairs to the inner city for a nice old lady and her caring granddaughter, so that made the whole day worth it. Have a great Sunday!
