Rather in the Dock; McEnroe's Ratings in the DitchGood gossip today. Dan Rather's being grilled over his complicity in peddling forgeries to the American people, while John McEnroe is being paid one million dollars to host a show that, out of 834 cable shows, is coming in... 833rd. The one show he's beating? The Food Network's How to Boil Water. You think that's a joke. And yet, you'd be wrong. posted by Ace at 04:49 PM
CommentsIs there a point at which MSNBC becomes obligated to pay advertisers to allow their products to be associated with their basement shows. I guess that would define the awaited negative rating. Posted by: Eric Pobirs on October 1, 2004 05:12 PM
McEnroe's actually on CNBC. MSNBC has the scary-funny Keith Olbermann on at that time. Posted by: ace on October 1, 2004 05:42 PM
How To Boil Water is so much better... Posted by: Brian on October 1, 2004 06:27 PM
Ace-- Pardon me while I announce that I was the first person to call CNBC onto the carpet for hiring McEnroe instead of me. http://garfieldridge.blogspot.com/2004/09/open-letter-to-cnbc.html God, I can't believe this guy is still on the air. Cheers, Posted by: Dave on October 1, 2004 08:42 PM
How is this guy any worse than Chris Mathews? And CNBC, MSNBC, it's all the same. Posted by: Dear Johns on October 2, 2004 04:01 PM
McEnroe is an excellent tennis announcer. So far it is the only thing at which he has shown any proficiency since he retired from professional tennis. Posted by: Asteroid Bill on October 2, 2004 10:27 PM

Yacht or Nyacht?
With a combined score of 49.5 on Yacht or Nyacht, I'd say this one is a "Nyacht." No Hoe Snow snap. Not bouncy. Pretty dreary. No smooth groove. You won't be able to snort cocaine out of the cleavage of a "Naval Mabel" or "Poopdeck Patty." Or even if you do, it will be half-hearted at best.
From Instapundit, a Free Beacon Fact Check:
Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled. I guess that's true if you're talking about the Beatles. But individual members of the Beatles did some decent stuff in the 80s. Kyrsten Sinema
Classics of Yacht Rock Mystery Click
Oh but it's all right Once you get past the pain You'll learn to find your love again So keep your heart open This is a fantastic (casual) driving song, when you're actually driving a little below the speed limit because you don't really have anywhere to be. Going forward, if we have any arguments about what is or what is not Yacht Rock, we can just consult the Yacht or Nyacht? website, which has ranked hundreds of songs according to their Yacht Quotient (YQ). I can see this website stopping arguments, fistfights, and formal duels.
In solidarity with the MSM, Rich Lowry and National Review vilified the Covington Kids as racist agitators back in 2019. Now, it’s Rich Lowry being canceled for an accidental slip of the tongue that sounded like a forbidden word. There’s a lesson here for the Polite Right, but they won’t learn it. [Buck]

The Lost Classics of Yacht Rock
You know you can't fool me I've been loving you too long It started so easy You want to carry on I'm not sure this is even Yacht Rock. This might just be very soft rock. I can't see myself sniffing cocaine from a Boat Hoe's cleavage to this song, which is the primary criterion of Yacht Rock. But I think this song more crosses from the shallows of soft rock to the cresting majesty of Yacht Rock. This is definitely bouncy enough for Hoe Snow. Very smooth, a little folky, a little jazzy. It's got that Hoe Snow snap.
From Andycanuck: Hezballah members reporting for work today, a little bit skittish about entering the code on an electronic keypad lock
I don't know if this is real. It's certainly accurate -- no one in Hezballah is happy to be handling any kind of electronic device today.
FAA fines SpaceX $633K for acting without its permission "These fines therefore are simply because FAA management has hurt feelings because SpaceX wouldn't wait for it to twiddle its thumbs for a few more weeks. The fines also suggest that FAA management is either being pressured to hinder SpaceX's commercial operations by higher ups in the White House, or that management itself is trying to exert more power over the company, for apparently very petty reasons."
