Shot In The Dark: Baby Steps

February 10, 2005

Baby Steps

I've been listening to a bit more of the Nick Coleman show, mornings on our local FrankenNet affiliate; call it "training" for my upcoming live-blogging/live-fisking of his program. I'm up to a minute at a shot before I cringe from professional horror and turn to something less embarassing. But I came back and tried again, maybe five or six times. I'm nothing if not persistant.

Quote of the morning:

CALLER (a shrill, fifty-something sounding woman): "We critical thinkers just knooooow the Republicans are wrong about everything!

This may be the hardest project I've ever had to bite off.

Prayers eagerly accepted.

Upside: "Listen to Nick" would make a fun, but short, drinking game. Say, take a drink every time Nick says "Wingnut" or "Monkey" or "Right Wing Wanker".

Downside: It's bad form to be puking drunk by 7:30AM.

"Prayers eagerly accepted."

I'm not sure it would be a kindness to you for us to pray for your ability to stomach Nick's pap. Retching every few seconds is probably the sign of a thinking listener.

I managed to last about 30 seconds this morning myself...

Mitch,

You are missing the link between this story and the last. I say we try to draft Nick Coleman for Senate! He would be wildly popular (among the DFL), and would have no problem riding the Wellstone bus, since we has a history of riding busses while interviewing the "unfortunate" among us. And both papers could endore him! (Confilict of interest? What's that?)

I'd be kinda cool, too, to have the Senators Coleman.

Mitch,

I will bet you a beer that you won't be able to type fast enough to fisk all of the fiskable material on that show. Even with commercial breaks (which also feature some fiskable commercials).

Do you suppose that Nick knows that "wanker" means "One who masterbates"?

Good design!
