Media Generalissimo Rupert Murdoch and his Fox News Captain Roger Ailes "absolutely despise" Bill
O'Reilly, the fat-mouthed, faux populist bruiser whose show on their network is cable's top-rated.
In a biography of Rupert Murdoch, The Man Who Owns The News, to be released Tuesday, Michael Wolff writes:
The Seventh floor of Frederick & Nelson was the first kitchenware store many of us ever saw in the Northwest and it was a wondrous place in our mid-century world of Jello molds and pigs-in-a-blanket.
It was Christmas,1968 and the Gift of the Year that year was ultimate kitchen gadget, the machine that promised to end kitchen drudgery as we knew it, the fabulous CuisinArt food processor.
But Frederick's was filled with mushroom brushes and lemon zesters and berry buzzers and nut beaters. There were dill mills and peach pippers and muffin mallets and shrimp zippers and pickle planes and piping pokes and truffle duffles and radical ideas in corkscrew technology.
We've been trying to ignore the rumors that went public last week when FiveThirtyEight.com reported that bottle-blonde blabbermouth Chris Matthews was staffing up to run for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania! (whatever's the opposite of a thrill running up or down our leg? we're feeling it).

Sounds like Joe Scarborough will be trying it on the radio once again. If you don't have a teevee: he's a charming Floridian; a Republican ex-congressman; MSNBC''s early morning host Morning Joe, proudly rouge du neck, and a well-known prick.
He's reportedly convinced Citadel’s ABC Radio Networks to give him a chance at a 10-11:45a program that's reportedly to air on WABC in NY, and be nationally syndicated.

(Scarborough was syndicated for Westwood briefly in 2005, but lasted only 4 months. Citadel suits a betting he's got enough national juice to make it now after his successful MSNBC show).
Oh no. Reports are coming in on a new culture war opening on a new culture front -- it's Thanksgiving, that feast day whose theme is gratitude, but in reality is "fatitude," as the rap song says.
As for the War on Christmas, the religionistas want more God than gravy in the holiday, and more gratitude than pie.
But it's also waged by cranky Indians who consider the holiday a white people's celebration of the beginning of an ethnic-cleansing pageant at which their ancestors played the part of the bathtub ring.

The first shot has been fired in the 2008 War on Xmas, this time the secular progressive forces tried to take the Christ out of a faith-based, boat parade.
As we say nearly every day: "Thank God for Laura Ingraham!" who, filling in for Bill O'Reilly Monday has reported the latest atrocity in Patchoque, New York, a Long Island village under attack by the faithless.

If we were to imagine something more unbearable than Hannity & Colmes, it would be Just Hannity.
And that, according to The New York Times is what we're going to get.
Hannity will do the number 2 show on cable solo, or so Fox leakers told The Times. (that has nothing to do with feces: it's called number 2 because its rated second to Bill O'Reilly's show).
After 12 years, Colmes will leave Hannity & Colmes. Fox News Channel announced Monday he'll be gone at the end of the year
Alan will stay with the network to develop a weekend show, and expand his radio show. Read his blog is here.
