Don't bother with MSNBC this am..
Joe is back, and after a cursory report on the quake, he was right back to bashing Obama and Clinton...

and one of the commentators seemed the most distressed over the Nikkei's reaction to the quake/tsunami, than to the devastation & the dead/injured/displaced :puke:

I usually avoid CNN, but for disaster coverage, they seem to at least know what the BIG story is, and stay with it..

Our politics & the "market" can wait!

13. I just heard him say that Democrats complained about unions too.
Complaining about unions, and wanting to destroy them completely are like the difference between complaining about the 18% mandatory tip at a restaurant and firing all the waiters because of it.

15. When ever he has to say something negative about the Rs, he immediately follows up
with how much Dems blah blah blah. He's always done that.

18. and his buddy, Scott Walker, was on!
taking yet another PR opportunity before he eagerly signs his people-hurting bill. Because he is just "helping the middle class" and schools (how he's helping schools with a nearly $1 billion hit is unbelievable).

21. I gave up on most of it. Did get to see Axe and later Gene Robinson.
Now that Axe is no longer in the White House, he is speaking without all that stammering he used to do when speaking publicly. He's more relaxed and you can tell...

Gene R. was great on the King hearings. A voice of reason in the midst of babble...

Mika was particularly loathsome today. When Joe is there, she is a nasty bunny...

25. Continuous coverage on CCTV english (dishnet 265) Of Japan! Not HI!
If you get the Chinese channel CCTV in english (Dish network #265), they are covering the quake and tsunami in japan. Alternatively you might get it on the web at
http://english.cntv.cn

I flipped over to MSN-BS and they are just staring at the HI coastline. Sort of like that time last year. If you want to know what's going on, I highly suggest tuning in to one of the international news outlets that are actually covering the disaster.

26. I just turned it on looking for earthquake coverage
Santorum. Yuck.

Switched to CNN, which seems to be stuck in an endless commercial break.
