Could NBC Be Any Stupider?!

While every single major network went live to either New York or Washington to cover the moment of silence in remembrance of 9/11, NBC's The Today Show decided that in interview with Kim Kardashian's mother was more important. WTF!?

The Today Show is largely fluff anyway; but considering it was on - live - when 9/11 actually happened, you would think that if they felt a moment of silence was too dull for their action-packed show, they could have at least shown that "classic" footage. But Kim Kardashian's mother?! Come on. That's just stupid. Even Fox News paused its Obama bashing for a minute to show it.

Re-Cap of Alex Wagner on "Real Time"

Alex Wagner tries to restrain herself from strangling this guy

My lady, Alex Wagner, shined last Friday night on the season premier of Real Time with Bill Maher. Unlike her last appearance, where she was consistently shouted over by teabagging Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), Alex stayed engaged with the panel throughout. Conservative columnist Reihan Salam did his able best to bogart the conversation - no matter the topic - but Alex gave as good as she got. Salam remained a robotic talking point reciter as he listed off the so-called failures of the Obama Administration, while refusing to acknowledge the Republican's sabotage of the president's jobs and economic plans, and the sometimes racist motives behind the right's actions.

The always confusing mega-billionaire Mark Cuban was the third person on the panel. He appears to be liberal in nearly all instances, except when the topic is unions. Like most wealthy people, he sees no need. 

Oh, and Chelsea Handler was on, too. She didn't contribute much to the discussion, even though I basically agreed with her on most of her points.

Alex Wagner Rejoins the Real Time Panel

My lady, Alex Wager, announced today on her show that she is returning to the panel of Real Time with Bill Maher on this Friday's season premiere. Last time she was on, Rep. Darrell Issa bogarted the discussion. This time around, Alex will be appearing along with Peter Byck, Mark Cuban, Reihan Salam, and Chelsea Handler. Should be great.

And praise Jeebus that Bill Maher is back!

My Fix

My Alex Wagner withdrawal has come to an end. My lady is filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell this week on his show, The Last Word. It's good. I'm glad to see her. But when will these stupid Olympics be over so I can get Alex on a consistent basis?!

Hmmm...knowing the way MSNBC operates, could this week be a trial for a possible Wags move to prime time? People are wondering. Well, this person is.
