        I think you need to put your talents to better use.
        Step 1: go to link
        Step 2: Click on "Search Openings"
        Step 3:Choose the following selections: Under "Business Section" choose "NBC News Group", Under "Sub-Business" choose "MSNBC", Under "Career Level" choose "All", Under "Function" choose "TV Content & Production"
        Step 4: Choose your job preference. Don't worry. None of those Fascist shows like Morning Joe are in the list.

        I know that most of those positions are beneath your abilities but it appears that your dream job has been filled. Maybe, if you can get your foot in the door at MSNBC, they'll quickly realize your potential and give you your own show in the slot before Hayes and Rachel. Matthews actually said something against Obama the other day, he can't be expected to last much longer with behavior like that.

          Thanks for the tip.

          I love how people react when they go all nuts over something Obama just did, but when they are shown their hero did the same thing and they just shrugged it off is to come after me for having the nerve to point it out. Maybe you should look at why you are reacting like a rabid dog when Obama does something.

                I have to laugh. If you are not an Obama Fanboy and swoon at the very sound of his name, you are immediately classified as a republican, Conservative or Racist.

                FYI, rarely do I vote "FOR" anyone. The vast majority of time, I'm voting against another candidate. However, you got me thinking about how I've voted over the past. Here it is:
                President
                80: Carter (D)
                84: Mondale (D)
                88: Dukakis (D)
                92: GWHB (R)
                96: Dole (R)
                00: GWB (R)
                04: Badnarik (L)
                08: "Bozo the Clown" (?I) (write in vote)
                12: "None of the Above" (?I) (another write in vote)
                Not a lot of Party loyalty is there?

                Senate (can't remember as many)
                00: Abraham (R)
                02: Raczkowski (R)
                06: Bouchard (R)
                08: Levin (D)
                12: Bowman (L)
                Here there is a pattern. I think Stabenow is a dipshiit

                So, since I don't cream my jeans every time Obama does something, I must be against the D's. (For all the hatred of GWB, many on the left seem to live by his principle of "you're either with us or against us". ) Does the above voting record make me a Repub, conservative or a racist. I can't figure it out but I'm sure the Obama Fanboys will be able to.

                    Sounds like you just are afraid to say you support something, even if it's one particular candidate in one particular election. There are a lot of people out there who cross lines back and forth, including yours truly, who are not just voting against something.

                      Happy to help out. You seem like a shoe-in for a job there. No learning curve whatsoever. You already defend Obama whenever anything is said against him, and if that fails, youalready know how to fall back on "GWB did it too". You know that Fox is a right wing propaganda mill but MSNBC is preaching the truth. It's a match made in Heaven (or whatever metaphysical paradise you do or don't believe in).

                      I'm not sure which is in greater abundance here, the irony or the assumptions. While I've attempted to make fun of you for acting like an MSNBC reporter or Pavlov's dog (not a rabid one) for jumping to Obama's defense whenever anyone says an ill thing about him, I don't think I've said anything against Obama (or pro-GWB for that matter) in this thread. The only thing I've pointed out is that Rockefeller and Feinstein disagree with "explanation" that you and the WH provided about not following the law in the swap. Beyond that, I don't think I've really commented on what my overall thoughts are concerning the swap (even though you're probably not interested because it goes against your preconceived notions, they are as follows: Agree with not leaving ANY soldier behind regardless. Probably could have done a better deal if we waited. The deal was done now for political reasons to deflect from the VA debacle. The video from 5-6 months ago showing soldiers life was in danger is more BS "explanations" shot down by the Senate committee. Lastly, but most importantly, the law was broken by the Executive branch and nothing will come of it.)

                        I must admit that the only politician that I can say I've truly supported has been my congressional Rep. He has been very pro-Medicine

                          It isn't just that GWB did it, but when he did it you didn't hear the OUTRAGE that is out there today. The Tories sure as hell wouldn't criticize Fearless Leader and liberals knew GWB wasn't saying he was a dictator and the government belonged to him. Clinton also called it "my government" from time to time and even though they hated him with a passion the right wing loons didn't go nuts over it. Now they are. Why is that you suppose?

                                So I can expect these same people to go absolutely bonkers the next time a Tory is POTUS.
