I could just spit! I heard this on the radio today while driving around and absolutely couldn't believe it....actually I do believe it; it makes perfect sense somehow, but I also see a nightmare possibility of the American people actually falling for this in the coming years if its packaged correctly! Today in the
Daily Beast, Christopher Buckley, quite seriously suggested that Joe Scarborough is the new savior of the Republican Party.
I think he was being serious when he said that Scar has been "hiding" on MSNBC from 6 to 9, weekdays!
Hiding, my ass! Scarborough is the reason that I turned off MSNBC in the mornings, not only for his mysogynistic treatment of Mika
Brezezinski , and not only for his bull-headed neo-con attitudes, but because his lack of understanding and knowledge of what hes talking about is staggering. But then, Buckley calls him "Reagan Lite" and says that he likes him because of his book. Well, that's really all you need to run the country, right? Likability and a little knowledge about alot of things?...an opinion and the ability to shoot your mouth off?
I guess that if your last name is Buckley, people take notice when you proclaim the new savior of the dying old elephant, but really, the Bush days are over and its gonna be a good long time before we invite the likes of "Reagan Lite" back into an office that is still reeling from the policies that Reagan heavy put in place!
Speaking of the idiot retard, Scarborough, last night Jon Stewart answered him on the Starbucks issue...yes he did:
I'm now officially boycotting Starbucks for giving that idiot retard Scarborough 10 million dollars...
TEN MILLION DOLLARS...to say "Morning Joe, Brewed by Starbucks!"
If that's who represents Starbucks, they've lost me. I already stopped buying my coffee beans from them in favor of
Just Coffee, who sponsors
Break Room Live, and actually offers a much better bean than Starbucks ever has. There are Maron and Seder themed blends with really cool packaging, but I'm awfully fond of the Maya Dark, and I get it in the big 2 lb tube! Pow!! (...as Maron says...)
Someone just tell me that we are not gonna end up with a Scarborough presidency in 8 years...the American people are not that stupid are they? Well, are we??...shit!

RIP Coco Labels: idiocy, Joe Scarborough, Jon Stewart
The republicans will never again be a respectable political party.
I almost came to blows with the 20-something behind the counter in one about a dozen years ago when I ordered a "large coffee with cream" and he snottily told me it was a "venti venudi" or something like that. I asked him if he was so fuckin' smart, why was he selling coffee for $4.50 an hour.
It rapidly escalated from there. :)
I've not been back since.
