ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

What could be better than waking up on Valentine's Day to some nice fair-trade chocolates and organically-grown red roses, maybe even breakfast in bed? So you turn on your teevee and you get the SCOWLING FACE of DICK CHENEY live and in color? If this scenario makes you a bit queezy then stay away from This Week (with another guest host audition), except for JANE MAYER talking about her latest in the New Yorker The Trial in the February 15, 2010 Issue where she writes, Holder, despite the controversy he has inspired, has not actually pushed for radical change. Indeed, critics in left-leaning legal circles have complained that he has kept too many of George W. Bush’s counterterrorism policies in place. For example, Holder’s Justice Department has continued blocking lawsuits by people who were subjected to extraordinary rendition—the practice of sending suspected terrorists captured abroad to countries known for administering torture—on the ground that such litigation would expose state secrets. Even some former members of the Bush Administration see more continuity than change. Bradford Berenson, who served as a White House lawyer when the Bush Administration was forging its controversial legal approach to terrorism, told me that “from the perspective of a hawkish Bush national-security person the glass is eighty-five per cent full in terms of continuity.” Terry Gross interviews Jane on Eric Holder And The Politics Of Terrorism Trials: Fresh Air Feb. 9 2010. Of course the Obama Admin jumps into action and send the WH Limo for Veep JOE BIDEN on Meet the David and Face the Bob with NAT-SEC guy GEN. JAMES JONES riding shotgun on State of the Candy with the requisite regressive JON KYL to throw lie-bombs straight off the GOPher weekend talking points. JONES then skeedaddles to FAKE NEWS (We LIE You Decide) to battle LINDSAY "very bigoted and not-polite" GRAHAM. 60 Minutes has a piece on DAVOS and a follow-up on BERNIE MADOFF's tricks-of-the-trade. The BTV Alerts are chock-a-block with REAL journalism with DENNIS AND GLENN AND DANNY, plus CHRIS HEDGES wtih PBC and Max interviews MISH SHEDLOCK while Ring Of Fire gets SHELDON WHITEHOUSE. Plenty to check out this Valentine Sunday for sure! The Brick TeeVee Crew lost interest in the Olympics back in 2002 so the only thing they've seen so far is k.d.lang knocking it outta the park while basking in the CLE CAVS 13-game franchise-tying winning streak going into the All-Star Game. Not to worry, Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training THIS WEEK! Of course The Crew will be watching 200-mph racing, rooting on pole-sitter MARK MARTIN but watch out for KEVIN HARVICK who won the Bud Shoot-out and looks mighty fast too. Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Brick TeeVee!
