NEW BLOGGING SECRET: WE'LL JUST KEEP POSTING "WATERMELON, RUTABAGA" OVER AND OVER AGAIN
I don't know whether Al Franken's Air America Radio experiment has gotten funny yet, but I'm enjoying the blogcommentary it has inspired:
Asymmetrical Information: [T]he New York station had Garofalo on both delay and live. Imagine a room full of college protesters saying "hubris, lies, arrogant" over and over again ('watermelon, rutabaga'). It ranked right up there with dental surgery, but it kept me awake, and I guess I just wanted to see how long they'd go.Admittedly, all but the first of these dates from Air America's launch (the first is what set me off to wander the blogosphere for more gems). What does it mean that I found little recent stuff (other than bouncing checks)? Or that I have only links, no witty commentary of my own to add to the mix? (Walla, walla ....)
Wonkette: What we've heard so far: Franken and Katherine Lanpher totally cracking each other up. Tough crowd.
Bunsen: I'm starting to contemplate the important metaphysical questions, such as "Could I possibly be more bored right now? Like, maybe if I found a can of paint and left it in that can in its liquid form and stared at the paint in the can, while listening to a CD of whale songs, would I actually achieve a higher plane of boredom?"
protein wisdom: Frankenfreude \fran-KEN-froy-duh\ ; n.: A salicious satisfaction in the misfortune of self-important and unfunny leftys.
