ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Obama's Address to the Joint Session of Congress last Tuesday was followed by remarks by Lousiana Guv Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, who spun a story about him and a sherrif during Hurricane Katrina.TPM Muckraker explains, "The key elements of Jindal's story were that he was in Lee's office during the crisis itself, and that his support for the sheriff helped ensure the rescue went ahead. Neither of those things was true, it now seems...Hilariously, Jindal's office keeps going back to Politico to try to straighten out its story, but it's only digging itself in deeper." Nothing like LYING right out of the gate on your first shot at talking to the U.S. Citizenry on National TeeVee! Haha! With that tidbit in mind, FAKE SNOOZE goes with an ALL-GOP lineup featuring former lobbyist & Senator JON KYL. The WH sends out its Limo Force! First, Face the Bob gets the whole-show sit-down talk with RAHM EMAUNUEL. Then OMB Director PETER ORSZAG appears on This Snufagupolis, State of the King gets Joints Chief Adm. MIKE MULLEN, followed by SoD BOB GATES on Meet the David, focusing on the 12 15 19-month Iraq troop withdrawal and the escalation in Afghanistan. Get your load of bricks ready for This George's Roundtable with KARL "I don't need no stinkin subpoena" ROVE who refused to show up for the THIRD TIME to John Conyers' House Judiciary Committee to testify about his alleged involvement in the firing of U.S. Attorneys and the alleged political prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. Yet here he is on teevee as an "analyst"? So Obama White House Counsel Gregory Craig said February 14th "But [Obama] is also mindful as president of the United States not to do anything that would undermine or weaken the institution of the presidency." So it's gonna be a kinder, gentler still-secretive Imperial Presidency? In a related story, the Obama White House still won't release "lost" emails from the previous occupants. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) argued, “Hiding behind technical jargon and theoretical constructs, defendants attempt to obscure three basic facts: we still do not know how many e-mails are missing; we still do not know the source of the problem that caused e-mails to be missing in the first place; and we still do not know if the problem has been fixed.” How about that? For those of you who just can't get enough of Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, tune in 60 Minutes. Check out Ring of Fire Radio with guests GRAHAM NASH and PAUL BEGALA and Cindy's Soapbox has CHRIS HEDGES, the former Middle East bureau chief for the New York Times and war critic. Lastly get some straight dope on the economic meltdown on The Oracle with Max Keiser. The Brick TeeVee crew is going through shoe boxes full of reciepts, tickets, check stubs and the odd half-eaten pizza slice trying to put together our glorious 2008 1040 tax return. We were going to call H&R Block, but we figure maybe we should just ask for $45 Billion the way CitiGroup has! If you don't have any taxable income, how does a tax credit help?

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Now that the Obama "Stimulus" Package has been signed into law with only three GOPhers voting for it, states are looking for their share of the pie at the National Governors Association winter meeting three-day meeting in Washington. Although many GOP governors are anxious to get their states' fair share, some are taking Paul Begala's advice: "If Republican politicians are so deeply opposed to President Obama's economic recovery plan, they should refuse to take the money". Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Friday he would reject a portion of the money aimed at expanding state unemployment coverage, and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has indicated he may do so as well. Countered Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, "It does seem out of character for a governor who has been receiving billions of dollars for years to suddenly say 'I'm not so sure I want these dollars.'" Haha! So the talking heads line up governors of all stripes this Sunday. Leading the pack is The Governator himself on This Snufagupolis, which also features a rematch of Nobelist PAUL KRUGMAN vs. GEORGE "Roosevelt didn't end the depressioin" WILL. Then Face the Bob has governors JON CORZINE (NJ), MITCH DANIELS (IN), and TED STRICKLAND (OH). Meet the David features republicans BOBBY JINDAL (LA) and CHARLIE CRIST (FL). State of the King goes all-GOP too with Arnold, HALEY BARBOUR (MS) and head minority roadblocker MITCH MCCONNELL, a favorite brick target. The Fake News channel goes with a tag team match of Dems ED RENDELL (PA) & JENNIFER GRANHOLM (MI) vs. GOP's MARK SANFORD (SC) & TIM PAWLENTY (MN). We've added a few more shows you can tune in or podcast, including Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox on Green 960 and Antiwar Radio. And don't forget Ring of Fire Radio with Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas. Coming up next week: the White House "fiscal responsibility" summit on Monday.


AFGHANISTAN UPDATE For discussion on the Afghanistan "escalation" now being planned and/or implemented please check out Whistling past the Graveyard put together by one of the Brick TeeVee Crew. GOOD ITEM with tons of information and links, plus comments.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

The Obama "Stimulus" Package has passed both houses with nary a public say (as promised) and ZERO GOPhers voting for it in the HOUSE, causing Crankypants GOP leader Boehner to throw the entire stimulus bill on the House floor (h/t to GottaLaff @ Political Carnival). The Economy and what's really in the "package" will be hotly debated by BOTH sides so we start our Sunday Morning Funnies this week with a tag team match on THIS WEEK featuring CHUCK SCHUMER & MAXINE WATERS vs. PETER KING & LINDSEY GRAHAM. And the SECOND Obama White House Limosine ride goes to DAVID AXLEROD on Meet the David and FAKE NEWS. Perhaps breaking new ground, White House Press Secretary BOB GIBBS will have a "press conference" with Face the Bob then on State of the King!! Can you remember ANY WH press Secretary EVER appearing on the Sunday Funnies while holding that post? Imagine DANA "too much cappuccino" FARINO trying not to "omigod" on a Sunday Talkie! Too funny! So this is either informative interviews or EXTREME ABSOLUTE HUBRIS of government propaganda! We'll keep you posted. Also on with John King is favorite brick target JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN, plus CHUCK SCHUMER and the NBA golf four-some of MAGIC JOHNSON, GRANT HILL, STEVE NASH and CHRIS PAUL with caddie BILL RUSSELL. What this has to do with politics, we have no idea. Later in the evening 60 Minutes focuses on BUY AMERICAN, and Pakistan, plus a story about World Savings. Check out Ring of Fire Radio for an update with ROBERT GREENWALD. We're gonna try a few different "alternative" viewpoints you might want to check out: DAVE MARSH, a long-time contributor to Rolling Stone and rock-n-roll correspondent who has his own show on XM167 and our new London financial expert MAX KEISER. Both offer mp3 streaming of previous shows, so we hope you give a listen and enjoy them! The Brick TeeVee crew has now donned NASCAR pit crew outfits for the Daytona 500 with NBA jerseys underneath for the NBA All-Star Game. I can't wait until spring so I can put these sad sacks to work cleaning up the grounds and preparing our garden. Enjoy yer Sunday!

  • Dave Marsh on XM 167 Listen to podcasts of Dave Marsh LIVE! @ xmfan.com via E STREET RADIO.
    As reported by ghettodefender Sun, 02/08/2009 - 5:28pm.
      wiki: Dave Marsh (born March 1, 1950, Detroit, Michigan) is an American music critic who briefly attended Wayne State University, became a co-founder of Creem magazine, wrote for various publications such as Newsday, The Village Voice, and Rolling Stone, and also edited Rock and Roll Confidential, a newsletter about rock music and social issues. Marsh is also a member of the National Advisory Board of PROTECT: The National Association to Protect Children. XM put this guy on this afternoon, and I though he was great. Not as good as Sam, but a hella of lot better than a rerun of Rachael. Mostly, he talking about Phelps and our stupid drug laws. He really wanted callers. Was easy to talk to. And never pulled a Randi. Anyway, I don't know anything about him, but so far I'm glad I'm hearing him.
    We'll take that as a ringing endorsement! Check it out!
