Best Comment Ever on the Comcast/Time Warner Cable Merger, With Taiwanese News Video

No Comments

Telco Maven, and fellow medieval recreation afficianado, Harold Feld, gives us the best comment ever on the merger:

OH MY GOD!! YOU COMCAST PEOPLE HAVE NO LIMITS! YOU’RE LIKE SOME GIANT, COAX-TENTACLED CTHULHU-BEAST THAT KEEPS PROMISING TO DEVOUR US ALL BETWEEN 8 A.M. AND NOON BUT DOESN’T ACTUALLY GET AROUND TO DEVOURING US UNTIL AFTER 3 P.M. BECAUSE YOU GOT ‘STUCK IN TRAFFIC’ AND A PREVIOUS DEVOURING RAN LONGER THAN EXPECTED . . . .

Not only that, he raises one of the famous (infamous?) Taiwanese CGI news animations.

Mr. Feld, you are a f%$#ing genius.

Stewart 1, Obama 0

Stewarts notes that Obama has deliberately created a regime in which the rules are completely dependent on the goodwill of the authorities, something which our founders abhorred.

Obama makes an exception for “true emergencies,” and Stewart observes that, “We will totally follow the rules until we determine such time when we will no longer follow the rules, but don’t worry about it. You won’t hear about it, because we’re doing it in secret.”

Once again, with a smile on his face, Stewart reveals the hypocrisy of power.

My Fellow Americans, Look At Me: Do I Look Like A Corrupt, Vengeful Bully?

 Commentary • Opinion • ISSUE 50•01 • Jan 9, 2014
By Chris Christie, New Jersey Governor

 I must admit, the past two days have been the most humbling of my entire career. I was shocked and disgusted to learn of the deplorable conduct of a member of my staff, who, without my knowledge, orchestrated lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, deliberately causing major traffic congestion in order to exact political vengeance against a local mayor who didn’t endorse me for reelection. Though I promptly fired the aide in question and repeatedly stressed that I had no prior knowledge of her actions, many have continued to accuse me of being complicit in this incident. And to those who do, I can only ask that you simply look at me, right now, and just ask yourself one question: Do I look like a corrupt, vengeful, openly antagonistic bully to you?

Read the reat.

Jon Stewart Thinks that Chris Christie’s Problem is that he is Caught Up In a Piss-Poor, 3rd Rate Quality of Corruption

No Comments

Part 1


Part Deux

Jon Stewart brought on The Daily Show‘s New Jersey correspondent ……… Jon Stewart, who excoriated Christie on the scandal:

I’m ashamed of the state I grew up. Political payback through traffic congestion? To see New Jersey sink to such a piss-poor, 3rd-rate quality of corruption… this is New Jersey. A state renowned for its piss-rich, first-rate quality of corruption!

Rather surprisingly, he is gentle about all this to Christie, by the standards of Jon Stewart, anyway.  (Apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?)

Watch both vids.  They are some of his best work.

Of rather more interest is Rachael Maddow’s theory of motivation, which has nothing to do with endorsement for the Governor’s race.

Maddow suggests that the issue was actually driven by a conflict over appointing state Supreme Court Judges, and that this was not directed at the mayor, but rather at the Democratic leader of the New Jersey Senate, who represents Fort Lee, was the actual target.

The video is not available yet, but I will try to post it tomorrow.

Now I Know Where Sharon* Gets It From….

I’m at my mother-in-laws, tweaking her computer. (Right now, I am waiting for updates to install)

Additionally, there were some documents she could not find.

They were on her kitchen table, and now she cannot find them.

Well, she did find them.  It turned out that she had put them away, in the proper folder, in the proper drawer, in her filing cabinet.

If I had a dollar for each time that Sharon* did something list this, I’d be a part of the 1%.
