Stewart fires Tucker Carlson;
Moyers makes O’Reilly look like
a fool without uttering a word
Tucker Carlson’s boss seems to agree with Jon Stewart. He is bad, hurting America. Bye-bye bow tie.
You’ll remember Sponge Boy Bill O’Reilly, he of Fox “News,” he who dallied a bit too much explaining what he’d do with one of his female underlings if he got her in the shower. O’ Reilly, who went around thumping his chest about his former employer, Inside Edition, and his show winning the prestigious Peabody Award for Journalism, when it was really a Polk Award won a year before he joined the show?
Now he’s slamming one of the finest journalists ever to file a story. From Media Matters:
FOX News host Bill O'Reilly, whom Media Matters for America named "Misinformer of the Year" for his 75-plus documented lies, distortions, and mischaracterizations in 2004, attacked retired PBS host and Peabody Award winner Bill Moyers for the December 17 episode of PBS's NOW, which criticized what Moyers called O'Reilly's and FOX News' "partisan agenda." On the January 5 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly called Moyers "totalitarian," claimed Moyers "finds it morally offensive to hear points of view with which he disagrees," and suggested that "he ought to give back his Peabody."
Don’t expect to hear him read my email to you on The Factor.
Billy:
You are not even qualified to sharpen Bill Moyers’s pencil, sponge boy. Mr. Moyers is one of the finest journalists in America. You couldn’t even get near the copy desk of professional journalism. I think you should apologize to Mr. Moyers on the air.

Maybe the bosses at Fox will follow CNN's lead and help clean up a little air pollution. Bye-bye Billy? Fat chance now that Rupert Murdoch is buying back all shares in Fox properties.
Grocery lists online
There's a Web site with scores of found grocery lists posted. Thanks to John Dufresne on his blog.
Before leaving for work a minute ago, Mary handed me this list:
Fluoride (tooth-decay-fighting wash)
Sugar
They each do a good job but I think sugar has the edge.
