Today on the Stooges: White cops vs. black kids. A subset of Haves vs Have Nots. Yes, there is a lot of black on black violence too, but that is also a subset. Have nots are often pushed by desperation to do what they do. But hey, white suburbanites cringing in their gated communities, clutching their guns, are fertile ground for the right wing demagoguery of the Haves.

So I tune into The Five expecting to hear them whine about the Supreme Court, but all I get is lurid coverage of the manhunt for those two clowns who escaped from prison in NY. Yawn.

I'm not sure what the ratings of The Five are, but I suspect they must be down with the changes they are making. Faux liberal Bickel is history. Gutfeld has been MIA quite a bit lately. Today they had Geraldo sitting in Bickel's old spot, and Geraldo always livens things up, even if he is still a Murdoch toady.

I made a rare visit to Murdoch toady Bill O'Reilly tonight, and he was hyping a new law named after the lady who was murdered in SF called "Kate's Law". I guess it would make it a felony being caught crossing the border a second time (what, not three strikes?). Whatever the merits of the law (and I will leave the immigration issue to Hateful person, who actually cares), I'm sure the private incarceration industry and the prison guard's union are gung-ho for it. How much does it cost to incarcerate someone for a year now? I read $62,000 on a billboard. I've always said the GOP's solution to ALL social problems was building more prisons.

Today on The Five: Trump sucking the air out of the GOP room. Quite amusing. He told some interviewer he would ask the other candidates "How are you going to make America GREAT again?". Great, of course, is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm sure every Presidential wanna-bee has a set of rote platitudes for that, so who cares? Then the Five moved on to Hillzilla allegedly slipping in the polls. Reality or wishful thinking? Who knows?

Today on the Stooges: Hyping the big debate tomorrow night, the start of picking the Fox Party candidate to go up against the Democrat in November 2016. It's going to be a long 16 months. I may or may not be around tomorrow night to watch, but I will of course read the post-mortems of the worst blunders or zingiest zingers. One thing you can be sure is that Fox News will let you know how awesomely awesome each of the awesome Fox Party candidates were, excepting maybe Trump depending on whether Murdoch likes him or not. Billionaires do tend to stick together though, unlike the worker class.

Caught the Five Stooges' spin on the debates today, and the first things out of their mouths was how the debate was the most awesome debate EVER, just a coincidence it was put on by the same awesome network they work for. Then they moved on to running down Trump (Murdoch must not like him). The GOP controlled right-wing media (or is it the right-wing media controlled GOP?) is well on it's way of dismembering Trump (kind of like Ramsay dismembered Theon). Fascinating to watch.

Today on The Stooges: I have to give credit where credit is due. They put Geraldo on The Five today, and Geraldo is a Hillary defender.

Today on The Stooges: Dead reporter and cameraman in Virginia. Sad, but there is no issue. Then again, why are there so many "disgruntled" employees?

Today on The Stooges: That's odd, they have good things to say about Joe Biden. Now why would that be, I wonder? It's a mystery!

Today on The Stooges: War on Cops, supposedly. As far as I know, police deaths are about the same as they have always been, but whatever. It's a chance for Fox to demonize another reform movement, Black Deaths Matter, like they demonized the Occupy movement as rapists and wackos. On a similar note, the are busy demonizing Planned Parenthood and undocumented immigrants. The war of the Affluent Class on the Non-affluent Class continues.

Today on The Five Toadys: Latest tripe on The Trump. I only saw a couple of minutes, but apparently Hillzilla has gone after The Donald over "women's issues", but The Stooges are claiming polls are showing Trump doing well with women. Is Murdoch being forced to go pro-Trump despite his well-known contempt for The Donald because he realizes Trump has a chance (small, IMHO) of being the GOP nominee?
