Because I am Mean

Posted by Brendan on September 28th, 2011 filed in internets and toobz, journamilism, media

Now this will be in your head. Be grateful, it could be the “Ain’t Gonna Peepee my Bed Tonight” song again.
Anyway, I am not quite ready to prime, because… well, because I bought the wrong primer. But after a trip to Lowes later today, I should be ready to get started on the dining [...]

Someday I’ll Get Paid for This

Posted by Brendan on September 21st, 2011 filed in journamilism, media, meta, pop culture, youtube

Well, the peppers are pickled, the records and books and games are put away, and the stereo’s been stored too. I’ve got a few bikes to move down to the basement (although I might just sell the little Raleigh that Sam’s outgrown). After that, I’m headed out to use the flipcam that woodshop [...]

Shorter Chris Christie: Philadelphia and New York Do Public Broadcasting Better than Anyone in New Jersey

That is essentially my takeaway on this article:
New Jersey is planning to get out of the broadcasting business, handing control of its New Jersey Network television station to a public broadcasting outfit in New York and laying off its approximately 130 state employees, Gov. Christie announced today.
NJN will become NJTV and will be operated by [...]

Scrapple News

Posted by Brendan on March 30th, 2011 filed in Philadelphia, media, youtube

I wrote most of this one:

I’ll add that the war is also unconstitutional, and that Obama looks more like George W. Bush than ever.
Gonna be hard to campaign on “hope and change” in 2012 when you’ve overseen so much of the “same old, same old”.

Republicans Defund NPR: Draft Click and Clack!

Posted by Brendan on March 17th, 2011 filed in calling bullshit, gop crime, lying republican filth, media, politics, public broadcasting, youtube

I think Anthony Weiner (thanks Susie) is on the right track. I’d go farther though. What NPR should do is send the Magliozzi Brothers out to confront the Republicans. They’re a buttload funnier than that demented, shit-covered walrus Rush Limbaugh, they’d make a mockery out of the likes of Eric Cantor, and they’d probably [...]

Philly Daily News and Inquirer Digital Editions: EPIC FAILURES

Posted by Brendan on February 2nd, 2011 filed in Philadelphia, journamilism, media, nincompoopery, obituary

If you haven’t dropped by Philly.com and signed up for the free test run of their digital edition, I highly encourage you to do so: it’s simply the most exquisite and complete FAIL I have seen in some time. You really have to experience it for yourself, and although words cannot do it justice, [...]

Brendan Calling: Way Ahead of the Pack

Posted by Brendan on November 22nd, 2010 filed in Philadelphia, history, journamilism, media, slots parlors, survival, writing

Me, January 25, 2010:
I have a proposal to save the rotting hulk of the United States.
No, no, I don’t mean the country. I mean the S.S. United States, that glorious liner that’s decaying slowly on Pier 82 off Columbus Boulevard, where it’s been dry-docked for over a decade. It was the fastest ocean liner ever [...]

AT LAST, COMMON GROUND!!

Posted by Brendan on November 16th, 2010 filed in calling bullshit, civil rights, fascism, media, meme, parenting

Looks like the right wingers hate TSA too.
But I think only one of them admits that this is a Bush creation.
UPDATED: the Tribune pulled the video from youtube. Luckily, information wants to be free.
