Bush To Pre-Empt Tonight's 24!!
Some presidents, apparently, simply don’t want a second term!
George W. Bush, fearful perhaps that his administration’s efforts to get Howard Stern thrown off the radio will not ensure a Kerry landslide, has made the unprecedented move of scheduling a press conference from 8:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Tuesday.

This forces Rupert Murdoch’s Fox network to delay this week’s much anticipated new “24” to 9 p.m. Sunday, opposite new episodes of “Alias” and “The Sopranos.”

The president is expected to moan about how Richard Clarke’s book painted him in a negative light. Quick thinking, Mr. President.

THAT'S what a press conference is!!!
Happily, I will be out for the evening. They'll probably post the transcript an hour beforehand, anyway.

8. We'll need judges for AMERICAN IDIOT
Instead of Randy, Paula, and Simon, I nominate Wesley Clark (the industry veteran), Howard Stern (the token "cheerleader") and Evan Dorkin's Milk and Cheese (for - well, you know).

10. I thought I couldn't hate bush any more than I already do...
but now he preempts American Idol and it (my hate)has actually inched up AGAIN! Unfuckingbelieveable. And the sad thing is is that I can't even pretend I won't watch him lie on TV for an hour.

11. So the anti-Bush Whoopi show should still be on NBC before Bush.
