Estee 53610 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-22-13, 10:47 AM (EST) "Those odd news priorities." Today's front page for every newspaper that wasn't The New York Post: inauguration coverage, exerts of the central speech, discussion of what this meant for the next four years, general agreement that any attempt to unite the country is doomed (wait, that's the readership), and so on down the line, focusing on the President. The Post: Beyonce and Jay-Z. This is not the first time. If something works out for the political left, they can be counted to run just about any other story as their lead. Pretend they don't exist for four more years and then hope for a hard reverse. No unity is possible. No unity ever will be possible, and there was no unity in the past to aspire to. But gee, can we at least admit the other side exists? ...and I've asked too much. But I knew that going in. Faux News: 'He's trying to lay out a Liberal Agenda!' Um... duh?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You mean Beyonce and Jay-z weren't the most important couple from yesterday's wall to wall coverage of some event or other on the East Coast. They had Tim Gunn commentating on the spectacle for awhile on CNN.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

LAST EDITED ON 01-22-13 AT 01:24 PM (EST) There are some days when I traditionally turn off access to all outside media. I have a feeling that this will be a week of that kind of days.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 9841 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-22-13, 07:11 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Those odd news priorities." LAST EDITED ON 01-22-13 AT 07:11 PM (EST) Well, they could instead have noted what Obama's inaugural speech and actions this week showed that he wasn't interested in: * the political center * bipartisanship * debt reduction * reforming entitlements * economic growth * the private sector * Iran's nuclear program * Israel, except as a place to be handed over to Arabs at the first opportunity * al-Qaeda * Mali * Islamic extremism in general Would you have preferred that coverage, which would have the advantage of being honest? Or did you just want to hear how elegant Barack and Michelle looked and how she surprised everyone by using the same designer and how wonderful their "Camelot II" looked and how people fawned over them?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Estee 53610 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-22-13, 07:36 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Those odd news priorities." I'll take honest coverage, although I'm not sure failure to mention something means a complete lack of interest in it, plus I don't care if anyone mentions bipartisanship because it's impossible and roughly 100$ likely to remain so. However, I am vaguely curious as to what Jay-Z and Beyonce are running for under the GOP banner. I'll guess the House.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

AyaK 9841 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-23-13, 02:42 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Those odd news priorities." I think Beyonce was running to replace Milli Vannilli in the position of Chief Lip-Syncher.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm pretty sure you just did several officeholders the dignity of skipping over their terms. Didn't the Spears have it last? Well, it gives her a warmup for the Super Bowl. Or her turn as X-Factor judge, which is now inevitable. Forty million a year and someone else can sit in the seat.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
