Brick TeeVee White House Limo Edition!

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!!!

Yet another book has come out pointing out the crimes and misdeeds of the Bush Administration, this one by New Yorker investigative journalist Jane Mayer entitled The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals, yet hardly a peep from the Mass Media. We found a great 1 hr interview at Democracy NOW! HERE which you MUST watch! So this week's talking heads will have none of it as usual. The WH Limo comes out of mothballs and picks up CONDI RICE for a chat with U-Boat Captain Blitzer. Riding with her is Treasury Secretary HANK PAULSON who also visits with FACE THE BOB to tell us the economy is gangbusters. Also in the WH Limo Ride-Share is JOINT CHEIF ADMIRAL MICHAEL MULLEN gabbing at the low-information viewers of Fox Noise Sunday telling us how the war is "turning the corner". Don't tune out faux until you watch EVAN BAYH battle JOE LIEBERMAN. Then switch over to Meet the Tom to see AL GORE tell us we're all FREAKIN' DOOMED if we don't listen to him and the scientists and stop being so wasteful and greedy! Speaker NANCY PELOSI will tell us on Wolfie "Impeachment is STILL off the table but John Conyers can have a two-hour spot on C-SPAN". Haha! It's true! See Raw Story Congressional hearing to examine 'Bush Imperial Presidency' on July 25th. Do check out CHRISTOPHER "God is not great" HITCHENS on Ring of Fire Radio to discuss his recent waterboarding experience! The Brick TeeVee crew has been sunning themselves after cleaning up the garden and yard. And we found the critter that ate last year's crop: the GOPHER that lives under our tool shed! He crawled under the fence and we chased him outta there! We'll make sure he and his live-in mate get some table scraps and goodies from the garden when we get some veggies (hopefully soon)! Enjoy your Sunday!

So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Although Dennis Kucinich has introduced yet another impeachment motion and Nancy Pelosi hinted the Judiciary Committee might actually DO something about it (see Raw Story Kucinich impeach bill charges Bush 'fabricated threats'; Pelosi hints at possible hearing) you can bet the talkies will have none of that! You might actually want to watch Fake News Sunday with Billionairre Oil Man T. BOONE PICKENS. Then it's presidential race politics the rest of the way pretty much. The GOVERNATOR is back, this time on This Snufagopolis. Meet the Tom has on CARLY FIORINO up against CLAIRE MCCASKILL while Face the Bob pits CARL LEVIN against RICHARD LUGAR. Tune in U-Boat Captain Blitzer for THREE Death Matches, especially McCain Economic Adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer vs. Obama Economic Adviser Jason Furman, where Ms. Pfotenhauer tries to explain away the OTHER McCain Economic Advisor PHIL GRAMM who earlier called Americans the "nation of whiners". If all this seems too predictable, tune in Massa in the Morning and a good Ring Of Fire Radio replay later. The Brick TeeVee crew is BACK from their Holiday Independence excursion to the East Coast, only to find the garden EXPLODING. Four foot high tomato plants! Eggplant, cukes, zucchinni and squash beginning to flower! Beans streaming up the fence! And WEEDS! ARRRGGGHH! We'll get the garden ship-shape in no time!

Brick TeeVee Third Party Special!

So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

In a rare move, the corporate news gatekeepers open their doors a crack to let a couple of Third Party Candidates speak for a few minutes on National TeeVee. First off is RALPH NADER on This George. Check out Nader's Twelve Issues that Matter for 2008. Then on Fake News it's BOB BARR running as the Libertarian Candidate. Read Barr's Issues Page. ELSEWHERE it's business as usual with surrogates filling up the screen. RAHM EMANUEL will also be on This George. On Face the Bob look for former NATO Commander GENERAL WESLEY CLARK taking on JOE LIEBERMAN, a favorite Brick Target. Meet the press is now being hosted by Tom Brokaw and he'll get a crack at THE GOVERNATOR and ask Colorado Governor BILL RITTER if the Dems are short-changing Denver. Be sure to tune in U-boat Captain Blitzer for SEYMOUR HERSCH. The White House scrounged up cab fair to CNN for thier lone spokeperson this week, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq RYAN CROCKER. 60 Minutes mails it in for summer. Be sure to tune in Ring of Fire Radio with guests BRAD FRIEDMAN, BOB WEXLER and COEHM author JOHN PERKINS. The Brick TeeVee crew took a collective breath when the US Senate chose to "push back an overhaul of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until after lawmakers return in July" thanks in no small measure to Senator Russ Feingold. “It’s a capitulation,” said Feingold, who argues that Democrats have allowed themselves to be intimidated by the “fear approach of the administration.” We applaud Senator Feingold and Senator Dodd for holding out for the Fourth Amendment! It's not too late, folks! The ACLU is fighting back with a coalition called "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS". See John Amato at Crooks and Liars Strange Bedfellows meet on FISA and sign up at http://www.thestrangebedfellows.com right away! And write your Senators!

Another Surrogate Sunday on Brick TeeVee

So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Presidential Politics remain front and center for the bobbleheads this Sunday. Plenty of people to throw bricks at! The Tim-less Meet the Press will have a "debate" between LINDSEY GRAHAM and JOE BIDEN, hosted by anchor BRIAN WILLIAMS. Then, Face the Bob will let CARLY FIORINA and BILL RICHARDSON battle it out. This Snuffagopolis talks oil and energy with KAY BAILY HUTCHINSON and ED MARKEY. Not to be outdone, U-Boat Captain Blizter features a 3x3 tag-team steel cage matchup between R's and D's. Fake News gets a matchup of toms with TOM DASCHLE and TOM "Color Code" RIDGE. If you don't know what "plumpynut" is then tune in 60 Minutes. You should then switch on that internet radio for an interview with VINCE BUGLIOSI on Ring of Fire Radio. There should be discussion of the "new" FISA Bill "compromise" that passed the US House 293-129 (find how your congresscritter voted HERE - H.R. 6304). Heads expoded all over the internets when Presumtive Candidate Obama said "So I support the compromise". Less than a day later, Obama proclaimed "I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses" (CBS News). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-MilqueToast-Nev., however, said that he may schedule a separate vote on stripping immunity from the bill, although he expressed pessimism about its success. "Probably we can't take that out of the bill, but I'm going to try." Now THAT's some INSPIRING words there, Harry! Nothing like letting the principles of the 4th Amendment just go up in smoke. The ACLU called the vote "Christmas morning at the White House" and concluded, "The House should be ashamed of itself. The fate of the Fourth Amendment is now in the Senate’s hands. We can only hope senators will show more courage than their colleagues in the House." The ACLU is fighting back with a coalition called "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS". See John Amato at Crooks and Liars Strange Bedfellows meet on FISA and sign up at http://www.thestrangebedfellows.com right away! After hearing the House vote, The Brick TeeVee crew immediately began digging for important papers, like birth certificates, passports and other legal docs, fearing the worst.

Fathers Day at Brick TeeVee!

So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

First off on this Fathers Day NBC will air a special "Tribute to Tim" for the entire hour, hosted by TOM BROKAW. I'm sure the other Talkies will offer video condolences as well. We here at Brick TeeVee offer our condolences to the extended Russert Family as well. This George will have also-rans JOHN EDWARDS and FRED THOMPSON (did he really run?). Face the Bob is all-GOP with NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH and Louisiana Guv BOOBY JINDAL. Be sure to throw bricks at Cry-Baby JOHN BOEHNER on with Wolfie as he "debates" JANET NAPOLITANO and tries not to tear up too much. Wolfie also talks economics with advisors from the camps of BARAK OBAMA & JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN. Be sure to tune in a special rebroadcast of RING OF FIRE RADIO with CHALMERS JOHNSON and HOWARD ZINN. Lost in all the shuffle is the HISTORIC 35 ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT read on the House floor TWICE this week, carried LIVE nationwide on C-SPAN. As for the "networks" they could hardly muster a yawn, most likely because they were COMPLICIT in many of the 35. Listen to Dennis Kucinich discuss the Articles with Bob Kincaid at Head On Radio HERE, courtesy White Rose Society. To read the Articles yourself and watch Dennis read them go to www.35Articles.com. The Brick TeeVee Gardening crew is now harumphing about weeding the garden and other outdoor chores. They've even lost interest in holding the watering hose and put in a sprinkler! Much has sprouted and thrived since we have closed the security holes around the garden - no veggies yet but it's early! Stay tuned!

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!

For this Mother's Day Brick TeeVee presents to every Mother out there A TRIBUTE TO MOM The Mom Song
