I am willing to take over running CNN, for anyone willing to install me into the position. I've often thought the network needed a more "ska forward" approach.

Bait-and-switch. Next thing you know, it's The Smashmouth-Pennywise News Hour with Dave Matthews.

"Fan" is probably a strong word. I've seen 'em a few times when touring with other bands I like or at fests. They have some decent tunes.

I liked them a lot more when I was in Jr. High and High school, but I lost interest in them when I began expanding my tastes. I agree they do have a few bangers, though, especially on Full Circle.

All the media channels are treating the Murdoch retirement story like a death. If only.

It's frustrating as I have a killer "Gotcha!" meme all ready to let loose the second the old fucker croaks it. He'll probably outlast me so i guess I'll just have to pass it on to next of kin.

Y’all waited out Thatcher and were rewarded. You’ve got this.

I've listened to so many snivelling Murdoch hacks talking about what a wonderfully benign influence he was on British journalism today that I'm wondering whether there was a similar agenda to whitewash Thatchers monstrousness after she snuffed it. In my head, the whole day was one long joyous chorus of ding dong the witch is dead. I think i just blotted all the rest out.

Perhaps because Thatcher was a very public presence and people could tie events to her that it's harder to paper that over for many. Murdoch's evil comes off as more indirect.
