Chris Rock talks...

and I missed it...and while apparently Stephanie Miller played the whole bit he did on Bush on the radio, nobody else seems to wanna talk about. Thank God the NY Times at least put THIS much in the paper:

"Mr. Rock also took aim at President Bush, saying that if a Gap employee had squandered a budget surplus, started a war against Banana Republic and then learned that the reason given for going to war did not exist, there would be consequences."

and Reuters had this:

"Can you imagine applying for a job, and while you're applying for that job there's a movie in every theatre in the country that shows how much you suck in that job?" Rock said. "It would be hard to get hired, wouldn't it?"

I want the whole damn transcript, man! I even GOOGLED on Chris Rock and got nothing. On Good Morning America, they utterly teased me as they said something to the effect of "Chris Rock mocks the White House and the White House Repsonds..." Well, in the two seconds I was away from the channel to see what other networks were covering this this morning, they must have had the White House Response cause I missed THAT, too. Guess I'll just have to check the Daily Show tonight...

And as long we're ont he subject (vaguely) of the Oscars, Annette Benning was ROBBED!!! ROBBED I tell you!

IN THE MEANTIME...

I believe I mentioned in my last entry that the AARP is getting slammed 'cause they DARE oppose the President's Social Security plan. Apparently, USA Next has been using this photo as part of the campaign. Apparently, "the REAL agenda" of AARP is against the troops and for gay marriage...um, where do old people come into this? and, according to Wonkette (which you just have to read, by the way) the couple in the photo are suing US Next for stealing their photo :)

And speaking of Wonkette, another reason to go to her blog is this blip on Ann Coulter:

Apparently there's a minor commotion over Ann Coulter's column last week, which isn't surprising: hello, she's a performance artist who works in the medium of kerfuffle. That's just Annie punching the time clock. Anyway: when her column, defending Jeff Gannon, ran on Universal Press Syndicate last week, a racial identifier got dropped from this sentence:

"Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."
We'd mildly object to this—or to her increasingly deficient logic—but we have a habit of calling Coulter "that old white biddy," so that would make us hypocrites. — C.S.

Is it just me or is Ann Coulter's head about to start spinning and then implode?...she just seems to be getting loopier and angrier each week...

And in the "things Donald Rumsfeld doesn't want to hear" category, the front page of AM New York's headline reads "THEY WON'T GO: as many as 6,000 US military personnel classified as deserters" Looks like those trips to visit the troops haven't been that great for morale after all...

And in the "things George doesn't want to hear" category...there's a Republican Rep who wants to hand in his OWN version of the Social Security bill as he knows that compromise has to happen...

oh and apparently there's been an audit of port security funds an apparently, the main way for terrorists to come and get us is still pretty wide open as the money has been "misspent", "misappropriated" and the homeland security priorities have been "misplaced"...

AND...last entry I mentioned how a pro-life Kansas prosecutor is being allowed to raid women's medical records in order to find out who's performing later-term abortions in his state...here's the latest on THAT...(or at least the opinion of a liberal elite NY paper on it)

Lastly...I have to see what NEW YORk magazine has to say about fomer Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez as he's on their cover in his newly acquired Mets uniform. Yes I have a mild "eek!" about the whole cover, but then again, after dealing with his whining and sketchy record for the past year and a half the Mets can HAVE HIM!

All right, as everybody seems to be leaving early cause of the snow (if you could only hear the WIND blowing around here right now), I am going to check out...

But if you're like me today, stuck at work til the last possible second...KEEP E-MAILING!!!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, the press and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!!! and always pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
