Reasons you will hate me

SCAB!

Hmm.... A mediocre comedy talk show without any comedy?

Sounds suspiciously like ROVE FUCKING LIVE to me.

In considering your post about the racist and fascist mania the Australian flag can help to inspire in this country (answer: a new flag or no flag at all!), it would be a loss if you didn't write about the protests against the building of a new mosque in the western suburbs of Sydney.

I have just seen, courtesy of SBS news, an idiotic, plain young white female wearing both an Australian Flag T-shirt and an anti-Muslim, militant black armband. She even turned to the camera to model the flag on her shirt.

How's Polichicks going, by the way? Maybe you should design a shirt that attacks the Australian flag.

Enjoy the season.

The bitch and I mean BITCH in the Australian flag tee might have been wearing an anti-Islam, militant patch on her shirt, not an anti-Islam, militant arm band, which would be more militant of her, of course.

A question for tomorrow: what do you think of the fact that it is fine (at least for some) to use the term "cocksmoker" as an insult against a male opponent over at Dim Blare's site?

The WGA guild itself is reportedly not particularly upset with them, as they've all been extremely supportive of the writers. Letterman owns his own production company so can make his own deal with the writers; Stewart and Colbert have been paying the writers themselves.

The WGA response doesn't seem to fit with Conan or Leno being scabs.

So long as Conan and others abide by the strike rules for comedy/variety shows when they go back, they're not scabbing.

Dave Letterman seeking a separate deal with the WGA could actually be good for the strike in a divide-and-conquer way.

You subscribe to The Christian Science Monitor? Looks like we've got ourselves a reader...

I was under the impression that Conan was taking said steps so that the *other* remaining employees were not laid off.

Sounds like a the sort of guy who I would want as Finnish President...

While those on strike are fighting for something that they absolutely should be given there are thousands of underlings that are not protected by unions who have lost jobs etc...
and not every writer makes trillions in cash to help them survive what could become a long long drawnout strike..

It needs to be resolved quickly.

The likes of Conan, Stewert etc going back on air can actually only help the fight more by giving it a louder voice. I say good on them.

Isn’t the front man better than the people behind him. That’s why he’s at the front

Conan is a name of war,not humour .This Santa Hat should change his name to Tomato Soup

Sorry, off-topic... but how good is our mate andrew?
from news.com.au/herald sun...

EVERY week I get emails from readers asking me how on earth I do this job, filling endless pages with columns as wise as they are brilliant, writes Andrew Bolt.

How DO you do it Andrew? I love you, marry me, etc...

Way off topic, but to reply to Hudson's query re calling people cocksmokers. I think it's fine but works much better when you add that they seem like a pack a day kinda guy.

But at least one observer sees a silver lining. "If these shows are looking for guests," says political consultant Matt Eventoff, "there are a whole lot of presidential candidates looking for free exposure in time for the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries." He points out that the field of viable candidates has broadened since early November, with several dark horses emerging whose biggest challenge is money. "Free air time is just what the newly viable candidates such as Mike Huckabee and John McCain need," he adds.

If they want the shows to tank in order to demonstrate how valuable the writers are then this is definitely the way to go.

oh orphan thank-you.

Check the latest one.

Gems include:

"I need to...read a bit more"

"I’m such a slow thinker"

You don't say.

Everyone should read Hudson's blog. Just keep scrolling down to the stalking/Age parts.
