O'Reilly: "Boycott The Syracuse Post-Dispatch!"

Did you know that O'Reilly has called for a boycott of the "leftist" Syracuse Post-Standard? He's mentioned it twice this week, and it's on his web page. It stems from a humorous reference on last Saturday's week-in-review about his sexual harassment settlement.
A check of O'Reilly's website backs duque up; The Falafelophile is so mad at the Post-Standard he can't even remember its name!

UPDATE: The Falafelophile--or his agents--corrected his website; it now refers to The Post-Standard. This is how his media blacklist looked before the correction:

Beware Of Comics

"Product placement has become commonplace in movies and TV shows. Now it's coming to comic books -- in part because the industry's two giants, DC and Marvel, are promoting some of their titles as places to reach one of Madison Avenue's most elusive audiences: guys in their 20s," reports Brian Steinberg. DC Comics' new miniseries, called "Rush City," will have "visible promotional support from General Motors Corp.'s Pontiac." The series' hero will drive a Pontiac Solstice. Marvel Entertainment "has begun putting the 'swoosh' logo from Nike Inc. in the scenes of some of its titles, such as 'New X-Men'..."

Cathedral Of Blood

Vice President Cheney sniffs a minister after his annual Easter transfusion of the Blood of Christ.

I finally figured out the secret true identity of spysmasher, the Cheney-loving, Peyer-hating troll who leaves eight comments a day. Turns out it's my psycho ex-girlfriend April K________, who moved to Central Wisconsin after I broke up with her in the early 80s. I always imagined that April had gotten on with her life and found some measure of peace. Boy, when I'm wrong...

Inside The White House

bush_laugh

President Bush uses anti-depressant medication, a lot of it, at a stupendous dosage, and he is hiding it from the American public. This is the real reason he stopped drinking. Because of the dosage, he is also impotent.
Someone claiming to be a White House insider has posted a treasury of utterly believable secret gossip at Something Awful. Brief excerpts:
Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear because of some medical condition, and he has his secret service detail hold his spares. He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections and had to change up his medical treatments. The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man.
Dick Cheney has chronic gum problems and his breath smells like shit as a result. He is also a CLOSE TALKER. He keeps a small bottle of diluted hydrogen peroxide which he rinses with every hour on the hour, and he swallows it instead of spitting. He also picks his nose vigorously (violently) and hums loudly and tunelessly to himself while taking shits.
Everyone loves how Condi smells and we do anything we can to sniff her while she isn't looking. If I knew what perfume she wears, I would simply soak a sock in it and writhe in orgasmic excstacy without having to stalk her everywhere she goes. After she shook hands with Putin, he sniffed his hand again and again. Her aroma is heavenly and legendary throughout the world.
Rumsfeld wanted to implant all of the lower level staff with radio chips. This did not go over so well.
I've got nothing on Laura.

Chris & Gwynnie Join 'Nuclear Club'

chris_gwynnieGwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have successfully enriched uranium for the first time, a landmark in their quest to develop nuclear fuel.

The Shakespeare In Love actress insisted, however, that the couple does not aim to develop nuclear weapons.

The enriched uranium is called Moses, after a song Coldplay crooner Chris wrote for Gwynnie in 2003. It contains the lyric: "Like Moses has power over sea, so you've got power over me."

In a nationally televised speech, Chris's dad Anthony told an audience of top military commanders and clerics, "She and Chris both think Moses is a beautiful name laden with meaning and, although neither of them are particularly religious, the song has a real significance for them."

The crowd broke into cheers of "God is great!" Some stood and thrust their fists in the air.

The elder Martin called on the West "not to cause an everlasting hatred in our hearts" by trying to force his family to abandon uranium enrichment.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan denounced the latest comments, saying they "continue to show that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are moving in the wrong direction."
