What the Owners Count On

What the Owners Count On

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you. ~ Oscar Wilde More than half of U.S. population still doesn’t get it, George. Thanks for trying, dear “court” jester. We miss you – rest in peace. Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning. ~ George Carlin But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this.

Boston Legal Tackles Guantanamo

Boston Legal Tackles Guantanamo

Couric…ick

Couric…ick

Oh please. When will these dolts wake up? Who were the people at CBS who came up with the incredibly stupid choice of Couric as an anchor in the first place? It tarnishes their reputation. Of all the women they could have selected to be the first solo evening news anchor, they chose her. Ick. To reintroduce Katie Couric to the country as a serious yet still accessible evening news anchor on Sept. 5, CBS has embarked on an image…
