Happy St. Patrick’s Day from edubTV. There aren’t too many good Irish-inspired moments in TV history unless you count that episode of 30 Rock with Jack’s family or the “very-special” episodes of Ryan’s Hope. Instead, I’ve decided to mark the day with what has to be the funniest news clip of all time (short of [...]

Fox News: It’s Like Entering A New Circle of Hell
Posted in In The News, tagged Fox News, New York Times, News on July 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We didn’t need anymore proof that Fox News is ridiculous and spins stuff faster than my washing machine, but for those of you still on the fence, take a gander. Fox aired a story about some writers at the New York Times who weren’t saying very nice things about the network. Imagine that? People with [...]
Tim Russert, Dead at 58
Posted in RIP, tagged Meet The Press, NBC, News, Tim Russert on June 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I shouldn’t have to write this. I don’t want to write it. Not now. Not ever. Tim Russert, moderator of Meet The Press, died today of an apparent heart attack. He was 58-years-old. He is survived by his wife, Maureen Orth, and son Luke. He was a compelling journalist, political whiz and a master conversationalist. [...]
McCain on Ellen
Posted in Episode Re-Cap, tagged Election 2008, Ellen, Ellen Degeneres, John McCain, News on May 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
John McCain’s been making his rounds on the fluffier talk shows lately. He shined on Regis And Kelly and the Daily Show but Ellen Degeneres gave him a run for his money on her show yesterday. Finally! It’s about time McCain started getting worked up and challenged again. The Dems are still feeling the heat [...]
McCain/Shrute: Dream Ticket!
Posted in Something Silly, tagged Election, Election 2008, John McCain, News, The Daily Show, The Office on May 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
John McCain appeared on The Daily Show last night. He can go wherever he wants, easy to do when you’re not locked in a ridiculous, futile contest. I digress. McCain sat down with Jon Stewart to talk politics, the secret service, Mao, and general old man hilarity. You can watch the whole thing here and [...]
CNN Goes Casual

I blog at night so you’ve probably heard this story 15 times today, but far be it from me to ignore the most hilarious tidbit in TV news today. CNN.com is notorious for ridiculous headlines. It works for the web because it gets you to read the article, or even commit three minutes to a [...]
No Deal
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged NBC, News on April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
George W. Bush taped a greeting that will air during tomorrow night’s ep of Deal or No Deal? I think the best part of being a lame-duck president would be taking advantage of the perks of the office but getting out of all of the work. It would be like that movie Dave. If NBC [...]
This Week In Idol Chatter
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged News on March 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A mother in Indianapolis was so wrapped up in last week’s American Idol results show that she left her two young daughters alone in the bathtub where one almost drowned. Sheila Brooks was watching the episode with her oldest daughters, ages 7 and 5 while her younger girls, ages 3 and 1 were in the [...]
Super Tuesday Showdown
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged News on February 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My state didn’t vote today but I still enjoy watching the returns from today’s Super Tuesday elections. More than the data, stats, numbers, etc are the gimmicks, glossy hair cuts and power ties. Indeed, I just like watching the coverage for coverage sake. Let’s break it down. I’m devoting a few minutes to all of [...]
But What Will Become of Local On The 8s?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged News, The Weather Channel on January 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Weather Channel is up for sale, at an auction no less. According to the New York Times, the network may for $5 Billion and is being looked at by the likes of NBC and Comcast. How much would I pay for The Weather Channel? A whole lot of nothing. Whenever I put it on, [...]
Huck and Leno Are Probably Besties Now
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged News, Tonight Show With Jay Leno on January 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Mike Huckabee is the projected Republican winner in the Iowa caucuses tonight. I would like to think his victory is due to Chuck Norris, his strapping Tudors-inspired haircut (above) and his appearance on Leno last night. It was the first night back for late-night talk show hosts and while Letterman boasted funny man Robin Williams, [...]
