So when you exercise each morning, do you watch Jerry Springer while doing so?

[Deja Q]

My favorite, Tom Barnard, was talking this morning about some incident on that sleaze show while running on the treadmill.

It's that or he taped it to watch after getting home from his real job, after his 4 hours of prattling on that radio show program he hosts ended...

1. Tom Barnyard doesn't have a real job

n/t

2. I keep KQ on my clock alarm because it never takes long for someone on the morning show to annoy

me so much I leap from my bed to snap the radio off.

This morning I heard Barnard say that so far he thinks Obama has done "everything right". He especially likes that Obama has "screwed the left" by not "punishing the wealthy by raising their taxes".

[Deja Q]

3. Heard that too. He can be such an ignorant dumbfuck, it's almost beyond belief.

For one thing; it is NOT punishing anybody to rescind tax cuts that should never have been made; the last time I checked, it is without precedent that so much in tax cuts were made DURING A TIME OF WAR - though now that we're in two wars, making more cuts would be more than suicidal.

Especially when the rich, which includes him as he can stay at home all day, watch Springer, golf, talk to his movie buddy Mike Evans about his golf trips, and so on but I digress, reap the most rewards...

Even noteworthy Republicans such as Bruce Willis and Ben Stein have spoken up about paying fair share; the latter roiling Bill O'Reilly (fun episode, that one...)

Tommy B is just a blind dolt.

IMHO P.E. Obama has done a lot of things right, despite not having been in actual office for even one minute...

There are times Mr. Barnard is correct. What he said this morning only shows he's not just wrong, he's out of touch with reality. Given some of what he otherwise says, he's bonkers.

Oh, and if they want to rant and whine about getting our youths jobs, which is not entirely unfair a thing to suggest, it's funny how they don't know of a little thing called "offshoring" - again, out of touch or grossly ignorant of what's legitimately obvious... though it's also true people in those countries are losing jobs as well, so I don't want to become out of touch with reality either...

4. Liebermann is also saying Obama's cabinet picks are "nearly perfect":

Endorsements from Liebermann and Barnard do not inspire confidence in me.

5. He's one of the busiest, highest paid voice-over men in the business. I hear his voice all over,

even though I haven't listened to his show (by choice, anyway), for ten or more years. I must admit, in high school, and for a few years after, I was a fan, but I slowly realized that he's pretty racist, and very much a prick. His show is just not my thing anymore. I've grown. He hasn't.

6. Thanks for the info.

Definitely not always a king amongst men (!), but especially as I don't watch much broadcast tv or radio, I don't know how much he does.

Glad he gets the work. Not as many are these days. :(

If our country added jobs, we'd be able to tackle the theoretical inflation problem coming down the pike too. In theory; I'm sure as herring no professional economist...
