BrickTeeVee Economic Meltdown!

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!!!

All told it looks like WE the US TAXPAYERS are on the hook for about $700 BILLION not to mention Bear-Stearns and Freddie/Fannie on top of that. Meanwhile all those companies' CEOs and Board Members who paid themselves handsomely all these years are enjoying nice long vacations in their mansions and on their yachts. Bailouts for people who are being foreclosed on? Hell no! They're just not BIG ENOUGH to be rescued! Maybe they'll be able to find their bootstraps while living in their cars. Meanwhile, the White House Limo backs up to TREASURY SECRETARY HANK PAULSON's office and drives him to FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN to proclaim to the masses "We've got it under control (suckers)". Don't miss RON PAUL on with Wolfie to explain Fractional Banking and the fraud that is the Federal Reserve Bank. This Snugalopolis matches CHRIS DODD against JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER while Face the Bob features BARNEY FRANK and RICHARD SHELBY. Meet the Tom has NYC Mayor Bloomberg (R-D-I). Later on 60 Minutes catch interviews with OBAMA & MCCAIN. (If you've had enough of these two clowns and can't figure out who to vote for, review the Third Party Candidates' Statement of Principles.) Don't forget Ring of Fire Radio with JAY INSLEE talking about offshore drilling and SARAH BROWN to talk about the failure of the GOP’s abstinence-only policies. Ration your bricks this week for ole Hank spinning his "free markets are good as long as they can make billions and get bailed out by the government" speil on all the major shows. The Brick TeeVee crew missed last week as we're trying to get to as many home games as we can before the baseball season closes.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Convention Season is over and the Race for the US Presidency begins in earnest: McCain/Palin vs. Obama/Biden. And three of the four will be on the Sunday Talkies (guess which one isn't). The Big Three get first dibs on the candidates while U-Boat Captain Blitzer gets the circus lineup of JON KYL vs. BARBARA BOXER, KAY BAILY HUTCHINSON vs. TIM KAINE and two advisors from each camp. FauxNews settles for camp advisors as well. 60 Minutes features BOB WOODWARD. Don't forget Ring of Fire Radio and Massa in the Morning if the spin gets to you. Of course there will be no mention of the raids that took place in St. Paul or Eight RNC Protesters Face State Terrorism Charges. As Glenn Greenwald puts it, "After all, if you don't want the FBI spying on you, or the Police surrounding and then invading your home with rifles and seizing your computers, there's a very simple solution: don't protest the Government. Just sit quietly in your house and mind your own business." That's right, don't even THINK about your First Amendment rights or your door just might get kicked in. What do you think they've been doing with all those illegal domestic wiretaps, anyhow? Don't look for CYNTHIA MCKINNEY, BOB BARR or RALPH NADER on the Sunday Funnies, either. You're not supposed to know there are more than two political parties! The Brick TeeVee crew have been enjoying our bumper crop of tomatoes, beans and cukes and the eggplants are fabulous! Have a great week!
