Donkey Approved

My name is Donkeyhue and Im a newsaholic.

Ok I got that out of the way and admitting the problem is the first step. The only problem is that as a conservative I dont have many options. Ill watch O'Reilly or Hannity every now and then if they have good guests, but the truth is they annoy the hell out of me. Goes without saying I like The McLaughlin Group with Patrick J Buchanan as a regular but Im usually at church or curled up in a fetal position swimming in a pool of Jamesons behind some Irish pub Sunday mornings so I usually miss it.

The only one thats cant miss TV for me is The Situation with Tucker Carlson. The show is sometimes informative, always hilariously entertaining, and has some good political debating to boot. Tonight they debated the correlation between same sex and multiple partner marriages and then had a dancer pontificating on the health benefits of burlesque while belly dancing. He mirrors the majority of my positions yet is fair by having all sides on and actually gives them a chance to make their point before he crushes them like a libertarian avalanche.

Some would call him a smug condescending prick, but he cracks me up so I just think hes a jackass...and thats why his show is the first to be officially endorsed by The Aurora. 11pm MSNBC Check it out.

Clap Clap. Now you just have to read The Big Big Big Blue Book and find your Higher Power (whatever he/she/it may be). Your work has just begun young man.

I will agree with you that Tucker has been moderately de-Prickified over the past few years. His last show was pitiful (and thus it was cancelled).

I'll try check it out. But in that time slot, my loyalty to The Daily Show and The Colbert Repooor remains unabated.

Paul Begala is my hero...

OK I just cannot get past the fact that Carlson is a walking caricature of a virgin prep boy. He's like the ass kisser in college that you want to trip in the parking lot. He's like something out of Harry Potter.

If I have to listen to conservatives, my top choice will always be Rush. Not because I agree with his perspective but because I think he is a skillful.

"a skillful"? Not a shovel-ful. But a skill-ful.

Sadly, My skill is full today and I cannot think.
