Tom Brokaw Helpfully Corrects Prime Minister AlawiYou know, there's a great amount of psychological import in having an Iraqi leader I can call Prime Minister. We're going to feel the effects of this more and more as we go. As others have pointed out, from here on out, Al Jazeera won't be able to run footage of Paul Bremer issuing orders; all the orders will be issued by Alawi, an Iraqi, speaking his native Arabic. But anyway. The MRC catches Brokaw "correcting" the Prime Minister of Iraq on Saddam's Al Qaeda ties (first item). Eh, what would Prime Minister Alawi know. He's just Prime Minister of Iraq and all, and just a man who's been opposing Saddam for 30 years, while Brokaw and his buddies at CNN were coddling him. Check out the last item, too. Once upon a time I was rooting for Dave Letterman to get the Tonight Show slot; and then I rooted for him to trounce Leno. No more. He stopped being funny around five years ago, at least. Actually, some say he stopped being funny during the whole NBC dispute in 1991-1992 or so. And now he's also a partisan shill in addition to being unfunny. I'd suggest boycotting him, except it seems that most people already aren't watching him for non-political reasons. As a country song (I think) says, Dave, when that Nielsen box ain't pinging, that's me not watching. posted by Ace at 03:01 PM

Uhhhhhh...ya got any gum? HA-HA Posted by: elbarto on June 30, 2004 03:38 PM
Would you sell me a hotdog? You know, that Norm MacDonald impression was deadly. That was the first time that Letterman had been viciously mocked. When I saw that sketch, it really did change my opinions on Letterman. All that stuff-- you got any gum, Would You Sell Me a Hotdog, the often interminable and pointless back and forth with Paul -- was stuff Letterman was really doing. Too much of his "comedy" was that "found comedy" schtick which was fun and novel when he first did it -- 20 years ago-- but which became increasingly predictable and not-funny. It's lazy comedy, really. Watching that Norm MacDonald bit, I went from someone who loved Letterman to someone sitting there thinking, "You know, this stuff-- it's actually not very funny, now is it?"

I think you're wrong about Dave's politics. He's pretty evenhanded and I know he really admires the way the President handled 9-11. A lot of Dave's political sympathies are evident in delivery. His jokes about Clinton always revealed a real contempt for the man which I felt was visceral. Dave makes fun of the Pres. sometimes, but it's always good-natured and I don't believe he really thinks the President is dumb or corrupt. And his contempt for Moore is obvious. You're right about his not being near as funny though. I think he got tired after the move to CBS and slowly stopped caring. That found comedy of his has to always be rediscovered in order to stay fresh and relevant and funny. He stopped that proces a few years back.

Actually, the apathy and constant insults directed as Les "Lunch-With-Castro" Moonvez were quite funny for a while. I haven't watched him in a long time ,however, since I just can't stay up that late anymore. But it's kind of natural for comedians to make fun of whoever is currently in office. Even if you like the person. Does he crack on Kerry at all? Posted by: Smack on June 30, 2004 07:33 PM
Guys, Guys, Guys. Can I remind you of the Hillary interview? And you're wrong that Dave gave credit to George Bush's 9-11 leadership. He gave credit -- all credit, with none for Bush -- to Rudy Guiliani. . He's pretty evenhanded and I know he really admires the way the President handled 9-11 He gave a free ride to Moore, praising the film as mindblowing, then he did a top ten list calling Moore's film 97% true, and then, last night, he had on Joe Wilson. Now, I don't know how he interviewed Wilson, having not seen it. But I've read he just allowed him to spin his tale without contradiction. Dave also fell for the "North Pole is melting" phoney NYT story, and continued to pump it after even the NYT retracted it. Posted by: Ace on June 30, 2004 07:38 PM

People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023. He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.
