weej, we're Wonkers or Wankers or Wanketes forever and ever amen.

Wonkaderos is just a bit of syntactic excess from <i>La Ciudad de la Reina de los Angeles</i>.

I've always preferred "Wonkers", because of the obvious reference to "Wankers".

But, of course, nobody should give a shit about that either,

Yes, if you are counting from GE's acquisition of NBC in '86.

However, if you go back to GE's prior ownership of RCA and NBC, waybackwhen, I dunno.

I still love how no one on the right is even the least bit concerned about the huge influence a corrupt foreign-born figure has on the American political system. Maybe someone should start a rumor he's from Kenya.

I don't watch Leno, either. First, he's a money grubbing Doritos shill (oh, if only we could see the "blood sprinkler"), second, that fucker hasn't been funny since...er, has he ever been funny? And third...he fucked Conan.

This is what they did to their competitor in the (I think) uk satellite tv market. They paid people to release decoder keys so any schmuck could get all their stuff free. See, you think of an evil plot, but they already did it years ago.

OT - But I won't watch anything produced by Fox, and fortunately, this is just one of a short list of things that I do that irritate by fiance. But I won't watch Fox for the same reason I won't watch anything with John Travolta, Tom Cruise et al. I know I'm just one tiny consumer, but I don't want, either through ticket prices or eyes on ads, one thin dime to go to these motherfuckers.

It would OK with me if the whole Fox News crew gets sent drafted and sent to Afghanistan. They can call themselves "F Troop". But back in the USA, CNN will swoop into the right wing vacuum with a new new motto ("News Done Right") and a new studio at Hooters.
