Brick TeeVee is a preview of the Sunday Talking Head Shows beamed across America by Corporate Media, plus some good progressive radio and who will be on which show. If you have other Sunday Talkie shows' guest lists we don't have, please share below. Post your comments while you watch! It's fun, it's healthy and doggonit at least we'll know others can also see through the media manipulation that blankets our public airwaves. DEBUNK HERE!
So, with no further ado, I present to you This Week's Brick TeeVee entry!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!
This Sunday the networks are covering all angles as it seems there are just about equal numbers of R's and D's on each show! Start your gab-fest with JOE BIDEN taking on JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER on This Week. Then Face The Bob has two former governors, MARIO CUOMO (D-NY) up against ROY ROMER (R-CO). On Meet the Tim it's a Battle of Strategists with BOB SHRUM in the D corner and MIKE MURPHY in the R corner. U-Boat Captain Blitzer pits former Majority Leader TRENT LOTT against former Senator GARY HART. Also, Wolfie gets the EXCLUSIVE with SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON with also-ran JOHN EDWARDS in for the Obama Campaign. On Fake News Sundaze it's JON KYL facing off against CHRIS DODD. Throw bricks at the referee - KARL "TURD BLOSSOM" ROVE! Our Sunday Progressive Radio lineup is nearly down to two, with Seder on Sunday going into the last weeks of his show with pre-recorded BOOK CLUB shows the next two weeks. Good Item! Massa in the Morning and Ring of Fire are sure bets for your Sunday Sanity Check. The Brick TeeVee crew decided 12" was high enough for the lawn and donned their electric weed wackers, mowers, hedge clippers and old-fashioned rakes to clean up this mess! The Brick TeeVee Secret Hideout now looks like somebody really lives here - just in time, too, before the city condemned the place! One neighbor even gave us the thumbs up (much better than some other hand signs we've been greeted with lately!). After I paid the crew for their hard work they immediately went to the beverage store to stock up on libations for the big GAME 7 Cavs vs. Celtics. GO CAVS!
BRICK TEEVEE ALERTS!

Brick TeeVee - THEY report. YOU throw bricks. ©
"HAD ENOUGH?"
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
And it goes something like this:
HRC: Oh John! Your mother dresses you funny. Let me fix your tie.
SOMW: Oh geez Mother Goose! My tie is fine! How's my hair?
HRC: Really Johnny! A paisley tie? Here, try this neon blue one I snagged from wardrobe. THERE! Much better!
SOMW: Yeah that does bring out my eyes better! How's my hair?
HRC: Honestly, John, you really need to wear a 3-button suitcoat. 2-button is so 80's!
SOMW: Yeah but my base still wears these! They've been on an economic treadmill for decades! How's my hair?
HRC: Nice seeing you, John. I gotta go. Don't you fret one minute about your hair. Darlene is EXCELLENT! See you on the "campaign trail", eh?
SOMW: Good luck, Hill! Now Darlene - WHAT ABOUT MY HAIR?
DARLENE: It's a MESS, Mr. Edwards, just a MESS!
(The preceeding is SATIRE!)

Brick TeeVee is prescient! John Edwards, in his interview with Blitzer, had a NEON BLUE TIE on! And a 2-button Jacket!

My bad! Governor Romer is a DEMOCRAT! In my preview I identified him as the GOP vs. Cuomo.
He's also an Obama SD and said on FTN, "This delegate race is over".
Sorry for the mix-up.
Also, at our very first Open House for the CLE OH chapter of America Votes (www.AmericaVotes.com) I met an activist from Florida, who thinks Gov Charlie Crist (the GOPher on FTN) may be on the Republican short-list for veep. So there's that to chew on.
www.mccainsfreeride.com
On the few excruciating moments of MTP I was exposed to HRC again was dismissed dismissed dismissed, even as a VP prospect- Desperate, math won't work, denial, now just doing it "for the fun." Huh?
Also, Shrum (Loser, Inc.) & co - not sure which yokel it was- Huckabee there too- took great pains to talk up all the pain between supporters & the need for healing- but someone also said HRC unsuitable for BO VP as she would stab him in the back, yada yada-
The point is, as long as they can chalk it all up to style & preferences between supporters, it continues to mask BOs absolute lack of the appropriate background for someone to be POTUS at this time. What I mean is, it hides, erases, conceals the deep philosophical divide btw. these two. Think there isn't one? Think again.
And someone mentioned Jim Webb & Wes Clark as VP prospects "to help with the national security thing."
I almost choked on my eggs.
Really? YOU MEAN, THERE'S SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH BARACK OBAMA'S' NATIONAL SECURITY CREDS? YOU DON'T SAY.
on tv are totally disconnected from the real world. You wonder if they ever wander outside. Obama will not EVER be the prez of this country. Not unless he can serve from a jail cell.
One thing I've learned lately is that the dems can be every bit as evil and uncaring and unethical as the repubs. Just watch what's happening if you don't believe me.
We're electing the President of the United States, not some g.d. prom king.
HRC and SOMW don't cross paths in the CNN makeup room... :)
