"We're having a heat wave - a tropical heat wave..." And, it's not a laughing matter, so, F.O.O. boys & girls, if you need to be or work outside for any length of time, PLEASE be careful!
Speaking of heat, it's time for SPARK! :D Me thinks if I put this mother in my front yard, no one would pay attention to my cute little Charlie Brown "Christmas tree." ;D I'll let y'all insert your own skid mark joke here. Should you endeavor to be a car thief, make sure you can actually drive the car you intend to steal. ;D Finally, I think some Brits need a few more pints in their diet - chill the spark out!
Let's Countdown!
{OK, IPad is sparking up, or I sparked up, and all of the "intro" type stuff is gone, so we're joining the show where Joe Romm comes in. I think the Murdochs hacked me, too!!!!! ;D}
So, did these climate scientists not look into this Wallace dude's background?! Me thinks if they'd seen information that he worked for Pirate Rupert, they might not have hired him as their PR guy!
To briefly back track, me thinks Keith & Rachel are still watching each other because of the mention of the floor graphic company investigation. ;D Michael Wolff should have offices in the Countdown headquarters by now, I think. Pirate Rupert hired Oliver North's attorney for potential legal actions on this side of the pond - nothing like getting lawyer advice from the help! Isn't 'ol Ollie still one of his employees?! Prime Minister David Cameron got a lovely reception at Parliament today. And, I SO...DID...NOT need the image of Our Miss Brooks in her pjs!!
Pirate Rupert doesn't even like David Cameron? So, he leaked information about a friend's 5 - year - old son's illness?! All righty.
"Too Little & Too Late?" AKA "Debt & Taxes" - According to Senate Majority "Leader" Reid, the deadline to implement the "gang of 6" ideas has already passed. BRILLIANT! Now, President Obama's ready for some sort of short - term deal? Some individual states' bond ratings could suffer, too, if we default on our debts. Brian Beutler gets debt ceiling duty tonight. I'm totally feeling like I need to buy new hip boots because the ones I have are getting mighty damn $hit - filled! Depending on who you talk to, the President & usual suspects are doing 85 zillion things at once & talking out of that many sides of their mouth.
"Time Marches On!" - There's a big kitty! And, the people who went after the big kitty weren't exactly dressed appropriately for their task of capturing said big kitty. Some poor Canadian car parked on top of a sewer that blowed up real good after big rains; I bet that's way more stinky than some of the stuff at Yellowstone! ;D
"Tea Party Pooper" AKA "Reading the Tea Leaves" - Tea baggers don't like Secessionist Perry?! Get outta here!! Some of the bat$hit GOBP 2012 clown car "best" had a little debate of sorts on teh Twitter today. Gee, I'm bummed I missed that; no, I'm not. ;D Matt Taibbi gets bat$hit duty again; well, he is awfully good at it! I'm willing to wager that way more tea baggers are ready to go mouth to...uh...never mind... with Rick Perry than who aren't. ;D And, I really don't want Bat$hit's migraine to be THE issue of why she shouldn't run; there are 999,999,999,999,999 other reasons why she shouldn't be POTUS!
WPITW - Are there any SANE state Senators from the "Show Me Your Papers" state? BillO is taking great pains to point out that no 'Mericans have been implicated in this News Corp shtick - except for the ones who have been...including his boss!! I had no idea that Pirate Rupert was a citizen here. That fact makes me kind of wanna...
Little Jimmy Murdoch had some interesting questions about the shaving cream attack on dear 'ol Dad yesterday.
"Respect" AKA "First Comes Love" - Ya' know, call me overly - cynical, but this President doesn't exactly have the greatest speed record on LGBT rights, so I'll celebrate DOMA going the way of the dodo after I see this President sign DiFi's bill into law or signing some sort of DOMA repeal into law. And, how 'bout DiFi introducing that alternate legislation? The mind reels - well, mine does! Rep. John Lewis has come out firmly anti - DOMA because of his own civil rights experiences. Evan Wolfson is in studio to talk anti - DOMA & freedom to marry. He's not satisfied with President Obama's progress on all this, either. ;D When do gay people begin getting married in NY? :D
