Better plant that Tater before it sprouts...
The Marathon Tim-a-thon goes on this Monday AM. Jack Welch must really feel the loss to have all this nonstop coverage of Tim's sendoff. It's just freakin' CRAZY!

On the bright side, little Timmy's picture is still on NBC selling the male enhancement products and still bringing home the bacon for Jack Welch and his "Have More" pals...

Poor Tim wasn't even here with us long enough to lose that funny looking egg tooth of his.

3. I was trying to watch the "FARM REPORT" on my TV but...
The only veggie getting any coverage on the tube is the Big Tater In The Sky!

I'll bet Tim's family is sick of the overkill on TV too.

It's almost like GE/NBC is trying to rend the last dollar that they can out of Tim's hide, because this story is still selling their soap and pizza and the beer.

My daddy always warned me about planting your taters under the wrong sign and the whole damned crop going to hell, but the farm report has been suspended and replaced by nonstop Tim-a-thon, so I'm having to wing it down here on the farm...

The boy is helping Matt Liar sell those all you can eat panty hose, ole spicy stick deodorants, Jippy Lubes, John McSame and some imported lead based War-Mart Kiddy Karts...it's shameful.

2. Hubert! Didn't you know that you're supposed to wait for the potato
to sprout BEFORE you plant it? MSNBC at least got that right! :-)

8. Howdy back at you peekaloo...
The sad part that I've been thinking about during the round the clock Tim-a-thon blitz on TV is this...Tim never dodged a single bullet overseas in the defense of his country, but his death gets nonstop coverage, while the bodies of real American horoes who DID serve their country to their very last noble breath, are secreted back into the country from Iraq and Afghanistan by "OUR" Government and the compliant media, like thieves in the night.

to remenisce.

Apparently, his coworkers really loved him.

Too bad the rest of the news has to take second place.

11. I can tolerate Matt for about as long as I can tolerate Dumbya on
my TV screen.

8 years of dodging Bush's sickening smirk and the sight of his lying cronies on the tube has made me an Olympic class channel surfer. I'm really super quick on my channel changer draw and my wife gives me a 9.9 on my dismounts and landings. We trust the facts on the reruns of Gilligan's Island more than we trust the tales on GE/NBC/Bushwaaaa. If it wasn't for KO I'd never tune in to NBC or MSNBC.

I paid all that money for a TV that lies to me and about me, 24/7 and that's something to really grieve about.

13. I didn't realize that Tim was if fact, the "Real Bozo," until I saw that!
LMAO...I'd thought that Buckaroo Bush was the Real Beltway Bozo, but seeing is believing...

12. Here's a lovely tater story
in pix

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/08/in_pictures_the_potato_/html/1.stm

Is there anything nicer than a baked potato that has just been taken out of the ground.

I've had it with the Russert coverage.

14. I feel your pain!
Thank Gawd, I'm always on a low carb diet, so I couldn't ever watch the tater-head much. About 1/10th of a second of exposure of Timmy a day was more than I could take. As soon as Tim came on NBC nightly news I always switched the channel to the Beverly Hillbillies there on the GOP's educational channel.

How to keep the news stuck, keeping the knickers in a twist, mention no other news. Works for the Neocons.

16. "Works for the Neocons"
Yes, sadly, the American media, for the most part, does work for the Neocons, it would appear.

21. Tim spent many hours dwelling on the Clenis Menace and other
LARGE Earth shaking, "Important Stories."

I thought any credibility that Tim might still have had, was totally shot after the truth emerged about Tim being Cheney's "Go To Man at NBC" during the Scooter Libby hearings. But NBC just went right on with Tim in the cat bird's seat, like nobody noticed and Timmy got a free pass. Tim was all set to help Jack and Karl wreck Obama, but it didn't work out. Andrea and Kelly will have to carry on the Obama attack for GE now I guess...
