4. Beeline

My suggestion for her new show is Beeline (a straight course). Segments could be bee-related. Polination can cover national politics. Buzz can be gossip. Honey can be anything positive. Stings can be anything negative.

Queen Bee, Drones, and Worker Bees can be class-related references, as can be Hives and Hive Nots. Bumblebees can be newsworthy dolts who've bumbled something. Killer Bees, Honeycomb, and Colony can be used, too. There can be a Spelling Bee, where she spells out the names of all those places in the world we didn't know existed, and she'd proceed to tell us whazzup there.

Old phrasea are, of course, Bee in the Bonnet, Busy as a Bee, and Mind Your Beeswax. A brazillion words can be distorted like bee-hemoth, bee-con, etc. Some are ready-made like Beelzebub.

Think of the cool beekeeper hat she could sell as a promotional item and fashion statement. And all the while she can make note of the dwindling bee population and how that means no food and impending starvation for the planet.

I know. Way too cutesy and not the least bit clever. Maybe I'll just watch that Seinfeld bee movie. I've been meaning to rent it.

5. WAHOO!

Finally, and about time too! Am I right in thinking that her show will be directly following Keith's? If so, this is a good sign of MSNBC developing a liberal streak (presumably to pick up on the potential audience neglected by the other networks).
