I have a friend who is a retired cop. He carefully lined up a shot

her or paralyze her. **** happens.

Murder by cop seems to be increasing in frequency. And police forces

loading up with military equipment. These are not good signs.



Have to admit, I was LOL at Chris Hayes (MSNBC) last night when a
couple of rocks were thrown at him by some of the more violent
"protesters". Hayes is hyper by nature but you could tell that the
rocks being thrown at him while he stood safely about 20 feet from a
fence separating him from the protesters scared the crap out of him. He
was babbling so badly he couldn't finish a sentence.

Today MSNBC is reporting that Hayes was "pelted" with rocks. A bit of
an exaggeration, for sure. I recall two rocks being tossed in his
direction that caused him to almost **** in his pants.



In all seriousness, why do you watch MNNBC? Is it for the entertainment
like here? Or do you think you seriously get "news" there?


In all seriousness why the hell do you care what I watch? Or, more to
the point, what I watch is none of your business.

I watch a lot of news and political commentary including, sometimes, Fox
News.



The last time I flipped through the channels in the "220-230" segment, I
landed on Fox for a moment and saw an old acquaintance, Steve Doocey.
Steve was one of the on-air clowns in the DC market in the 1970s, and he
would do just about anything for an on-air gag. He had a much higher
class competitor named Arch Campbell on another station. Arch was and is
very literate. Doocey was a douche. Anyway, back in those days, I
handled the advertising and PR for Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
Circus for two seasons, which was two seasons more than I could stand
working with the Feld family, who owns or owned the show. We got Doocey
to do a handful of funny segments, including shoveling elephant ****. He
was very good at it, which is probably why Fox hired him to do the same
thing, figuratively. He's still a douche. I also handled a Wild West
Rodeo, and my goal was to get Doocey to play a rodeo clown, but the
owners of that show thought it was too dangerous. Too bad.
