By popular demand, Brick TeeVee is moving off the General Discussion thread on Saturday Night Clark-After-Dark to its very own blog entry. Here we can blog about what we saw and heard on the Sunday Gab-fests. And, as a bonus, we can also post stories about the outrageous claims made on Sunday, deciphered by other Poly-Sci "analysts", from mass media and well-respected bloggers, that come out later. Post anything you find to debunk the CRAP you hear on Sunday Talkie CorporoMedia!

So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

With the Iowa caucuses only days away, most of the Sunday Talkies will get their last stab at Iowa Caucus prognosticating, while the rest of America is busy checking their crib sheets and calling their bookies on the plethora of College Bowl games. Bowling for the Dems it's JOHN EDWARDS on Face the Bob, a two-fer of CLINTON & Crazy Train JOHN MCCAIN on This Snuffagopoulus, HUCKABEE & OBAMA two-fer with Meet the Tim and lastly Bringing-up-the-Rear THOMPSON on Fake News. Wolfie takes nearly the entire two hours to interview all the candidates' "spokespeople". Of course the roundtables will have their hands full with the assassination of Pakistani Presidential candidate Benazir Bhutto. Let's keep score and see how many different people will be blamed for her death on the Sunday Talkies! (Extra points for how many different causes of death are mentioned.) Throw bricks at anyone you want! It's the holidays! 60 Minutes investigates one aspect of the decades-long failed War On Drugs, that evil Gateway Drug, Prescription Marijuana. Roll a big one and tune into Massa in the Morning (CANCELLED?) for some sanity, and Sam Seder runs an Encore Presentation of the Seder Book Club, featuring PAUL KRUGMAN and NAOMI KLEIN. If all of the politiking is just too inane for your taste, I'm certain you can flip the channel and catch one of a gazzillion College Bowl Games. Go OSU Buckeyes!

The Brick TeeVee team with housewabbits DeeJay, Dot and Dash wish all of you a safe, prosperous and productive New Year 2008.
