I'm sorry but "Peter Magyar" sounds like the one Hungarian kid at hogwarts. Not a real person. Sorry. Might as well vote for Janos Goulash. Laszlo Paprika. Jozsef Budapest. ...
Three (OK, four, but I'm deferring one for its own post) illusions that have been killed off for good by the disastrous Iran debacle, and musings on society as a gray market casino where cheating is encouraged because the bettors are only ripping one another off.
If you've been on the fence about subscribing, this is a good one to take the plunge on. It's all of $2, half the cost of a PBR. ...
Even if the strait reopened, which it hasn't, and the war ended, which it hasn't, there's a backlog of 1000+ ships waiting to get through Hormuz, major damage to oil and gas infrastructure, and a supply chain disruption (especially for fertilizer) that will take months to unravel in the best case scenario.
Today's big "market rally" was just hopium, poor reading comprehension, and shorts covering in a trench coat. It won't last the week. ...

I can't help but look at Fox in the same way I see Cartoon Network. I never watch either (mainly because I don't have TV and, if I did, wouldn't watch it anyway). But at the off chance I pass one of these networks I either shake my head at how mind numbing it is or laugh hysterically at the pure stupidity of what I am seeing.

Good post Ed… I noticed on msn.com yesterday that one of the most popular searches on the internets yesterday was something along the lines of "Obama fistbump."
While fox news is certainly worthy of most every criticism raised, at some level it's a sad commentary on the American public that this station ever had a hay-day. It's never been news, and yet it was the primary source of information for a considerable amount of people.
Pick on Fox, but let's not leave several million Americans off the hook for this one too…

I think you're right about Hill parodying her own network. The look on her face as she said it, the fact that she never explained herself, and the sheer absurdity of the topic itself make me think that must have been what was going on. God help us if not.
