With the election now in the rear view mirror now comes the business of governing. Team Obama is busy putting together their cabinet so they can "hit the ground running" (after all the Inauguration parties, of course). Top on the rumor-mill list is Primary opponent Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State. Don't forget to sign this petition: No Foxes in the Henhouse! to oppose LARRY "Africa Is 'Under-Polluted'" SUMMERS for Treasury Secretary. Of course, as the economy continues to tank and more job losses are announced, the focus this week is on the economy, featuring NOBEL PRIZE ECONOMIST PAUL KRUGMAN on This George and his alter ego TOM "World is Flat" FRIEDMAN on Meet the Tom, who also has CARL LEVIN vs. SEN. RICHARD SHELBY to discuss whether Detroit Iron needs government cash or not to build more SUVs and monster trucks. Then BARNEY FRANK faces off against RICHARD SHELBY on Face the Bob. Tune in 60 Minutes for a post-election interview with Mr. & Mrs. Obama. THROW BRICKS at ARNOLD "Girlie Man" SCHWARZENEGGER on This George, NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH on Face the Bob and T. BOONE PICKENS on Meet the Tom. (Did you know Pickens wants to sell you water at a profit to him? See Public Citizen T. Boone Pickens in Texas and WatchYourAssests T is for ‘Taking’: Did Texas Sell T. Boone Pickens Powers of Eminent Domain?). The Brick TeeVee crew is tired of raking leaves already and we've begun stocking up on cases of canned goods, just in case!

Brick TeeVee Election 2008 Leftovers Wrapup

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

With a resounding 364-163 projected Electoral College win and a seven-million popular vote margin, US citizens elected Obama/Biden to the White House. On top of that, Democrats picked up 20-some US House seats and at least six more chairs in the august US Senate (pending a few recounts in Minnesota, Alaska and Georgia). And so ends possibly the worst presidency in history with the current Commander-in-Chief's approval rating hovering in the mid 20's. Let's go to the video! President-Elect Obama will have two foreign military occupations, a devastated economy, erosion of civil liberties, a health care system run amok, disintegrating infrastructure, job losses not seen in 15 years and more to deal with. First out of the gate is Rahm Emanuel as NEW WH Chief of Staff, who will visit with Face the Bob and This George. Then, look for Transition Team members JOHN PODESDA on Wolfie and Fake News Sunday and VALERIE JARRETT on Meet the Tom. Trying to explain the tarnished GOP Brand will be the McCain Campaign manager RICK DAVIS on This George and Former RNC Chairman MEL MARTINEZ on Meet the Tom. Also on with U-Boat Captian Blitzer is everybody's favorite "flaming liberal" HARRY "Milquetoast" REID and DA GOVERNATOR himself to explain his state's "girly man" phobia. Don't forget Ring of Fire this week for a great interview with Documentary film director Stefan Forbes, his latest BOOGIEMAN: The Lee Atwater Story and one of Brick TeeVee's heroes, Brad Freidman of BradBlog.com to discuss all the voting "irregularities" that happened this week and those that are still ongoing. Catch His Bradness on the Peter B. Collins Show podcast courtesy Green 960 HERE (<--- .mp3). Also, BrickTeeVee understands ERIC MASSA (D-NY29) is up by about 4,400 votes and may face a recount. As Eric says, "...my respect for our democratic system prevents me from making such a declaration until every vote is counted. To do any less would be a disservice to our democracy and our men and women serving overseas whose votes are yet to be counted." We fully agree, Eric! The BrickTeeVee crew proudly stood with 40,000 other Buckeyes and voted for Nader/Gonzalez (a whopping 0.74%!). Get in on the ground floor! Check out November5.org!!! And start holding the new administration accountable by signing this petition: No Foxes in the Henhouse! to oppose LARRY "Africa Is 'Under-Polluted'" SUMMERS for Treasury (NOTE: When you sign this petition, your comments will go to John Podesta and Michael Strautmanis of the Obama transition team.) Oh yeah, throw bricks at the hosts this week!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Well, well, well. Here we are, after BILLIONS of dollars have been spent by campaigns across the country to convince We the People they're not George Bush, even know the guy or ever heard of him. Yep, everything's NEW! Pay no attention to the last seven wretched years! "It wasn't US!" they proclaim. The cycle of your donations to campaigns getting funneled back into the (so-called) Main Stream Media is intact. Said media "outlets" in turn, airs said campaigns' deceptive, misleading ads, and those media outlets pocket the extra! Then they pile on in so-called "news shows" and editorials that are just so much pap with very little FACTS it's amazing anyone in Greater America can unravel it all. So much for the PUBLIC Airwaves, eh? Our "democracy" is an illusion concocted by the corporate interests you invite into your home every time you turn on the teevee. But, like a traffic accident, we cannot turn away, but gawk ever more. So, turn on that teevee one more time Sunday morning to watch and listen to self-proclaimed millionaire pundits like George Will, David Gregory, Chris Matthews, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer, the myriad of Dem and GOP spokespeople and electeds. This week's offerings will vary very little from preceding shows, so enter at your own risk. We at Brick TeeVee have cast our lot to a third party candidate. We urge our viewers (all three or four of you plus the NSA) to check out TV NEWS LIES and THE REAL NEWS NETWORK along with Democracy Now!, LINK-TV, Nova M Radio and all the alternate media available to you, while they're still there.

LAST CALL! CITIZEN EXIT POLLING! The Brick TeeVee crew be running Citizen Exit Polling on Election Day Tuesday in Cuyahoga County (Home of the Stolen 2004 Election). YOU and ALL YOUR FRIENDS can sign up here: Election Defense Alliance It's not too late to sign up and get your hands dirty in democracy at the ground floor. I recommend it for anybody that gives a crap about this country and The Constitution. Just DO IT. At YOUR precinct at least. It's not hard to do. The bigger the sample, the better.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

A couple of "exclusives" greet us this Sunday with Gen. COLIN "Mobile Weapons Lab" POWELL on Meet the Tom and Sen. JOHN MCCAIN on Fake News Sunday. This George does away with guests completely and goes with an "all-star" roundtable featuring Newt "Contract ON America" Gingrich and DONNA BRAZILLE. Face the Bob has two Guvs and two Reps featuring TIM KAINE vs MATT BLUNT and DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ vs ROB PORTMAN. U-Boat Captain Bitzer features RUDY "Noun Verb 9-1-1" GHOULIANI plus the usual R vs D "cage matches". Catch Ring of Fire Radio for an interview with Rolling Stone's TIM DICKINSON on his piece Make-Believe Maverick. The Brick Tee Vee crew was hoping to report on the Third Party Debate at Columbia University on Sunday night but it was canceled due to "scheduling conflicts" (see link below). So check out those candidates' web sites for info and video. Also, Monday will mark 2,000 days since "Mission Accomplished" as the Iraq Occupation drags on. Lastly, if you're worried about your investments after last week's NYSE rollercoaster ride, now might be a good time to look into SILVER, now around $9.40 an ounce.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Last weekend the Brick TeeVee crew made a roadtrip to the University of Buffalo NY to watch (with our own eyes) General Wesley Clark & Karl Rove square off on the issues. You can read Fisrt-Hand Accounts here, here and here. Listen to Audio of the debate from WBFO (hat tip to Mary @ CCN). What a great time! Check out when Rove gets boo'd. Meanwhile, in DC, we see the merging of the Democrats and Republicans into the One Corporatist Party in passing H.R. 1424 The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
Dems sell out
So you won't be surprised when every creepy gov't official takes to the airwaves to boast how GREAT this package is! (nowhere to be found is Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders, Paul Krigman and others for the altternate take on this disaster). Cage Matches abound! This Snufagopolis has PAWLENTY vs RENDELL and MARTINEZ vs SHERROD BROWN. Face the Bob has GRANHOLM vs FEINSTEIN & ROY BLUNT vs HEATHER WILSON. Meet the Tom goes with a mega-rountable while U-Boat Captain Blitzer goes with more cage matches featuring Rahm Emanuel vs MARSHA BLACKBURN. A moment of sanity is on FAKE NEWS SUNDAY with BROOKS JACKSON, director of FactCheck.org. 60 Minutes has a feature "Wall Street's Shadow Market" but it's too little, too late. Don't be totally dismayed! Ring of Fire features GREG PALAST and DAN CANTOR, executive director of the Working Families Party (for those that find either party repulsive). The Brick TeeVee crew hunkered down during the Biden-Palin "debate". NOTHING said was beyond boilerplate. See Third Party VP Candidates Matt Gonzalez and Rosa Clemente Respond to Biden-Palin Debate COMING UP: Obama vs. McCain Round 2 on Tuesday Oct. 7th. Supply yer own barf bags and "Hi Bob" drinking words!
