Who sponsors the programs on the Faux New Network, and more to the

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

The primitives don't know that FNC's ratings have doubled since the start of the Obamination.  Therefore,  FNC's revenues have doubled at the least . . . one would hope.

Yes, they could write scathing letters to Napster and Circuit City.  Genius.  Even if they tried doing something like a boycott/letter writing campaign, I think that ratings trump a moonbat missive.

The Little Goons want just one of their grass-inspired roots to make a difference just once.  The little DU crowd still crave recognition and validation.  It will never happen, but they will keep trying.  To give up will require acknowleding the truth, and we know that can't happen.

They are jealous of the grass-roots success of the Tea Parties.

One of the accountants in my unit at work, who is about as conservative as I am (maybe moreso!), insists on watching PMSNBC.  Specifically, Keef and Maddog.  I've got to tell him to not add to their viewership . . .  :thatsright:

I don't know.  I somehow think that alcohol is not involved.  He's in his late 60s, and he's not a holdover from the hippy movement.  But, like me, he is a New York Mets fan.  Masochism is a trait of fans of the Mets. :banghead:

Uh, yeah, but that masochism is from being a Mets fan, not from watching MS-NBC.

While true, it doesn't carry over for me.  When, for example, I come home to find that my wife has been watching PMSNBC, I've been fairly aggressive in her turning it back to FNC.  Hell, even QVC--anything but PMSNBC.  My co-worker must have something else in play . . .
