Just Another Blog™ is a "night owl." It often finds itself awake @ 0300 PT when Imus's replacement on MSNBC, "Morning Joe," comes on.What a suckfest. Funny? No. Interesting? No. Any reason for its continued existence? Not that we can think of. Just inane babble, from Joe Scarborough & whatever lame-asses have been tricked into appearing. If Just Another Blog™ hears Scarborough mention his fucking "Redneck Riviera" once more, it will hitchhike, walk or otherwise get itself to the home of MSNBC, Secaucus, NJ, and beat Scarborough into pulp. Really. Just STFU, Joe.
A clue for programmers everywhere: Boredom is not appealing. Nothing is worse than dullness. With Imus and his usual gang of idiots, at least there was something interesting going on, even if it was often juvenile & offensive. (Hell, juvenile & offensive is Just Another Blog™'s raison d'être.)
And let's have a moment of sympathy for Mika Brzezinski, "Morning Joe's" news reader, who seldom performs that function, as Joe & regular John Ridley are too in love w/ the sound of their own voices to let anything factual or informational get past them. It's a morning show on an alleged news channel, why is there so little news & so much pointless drivel? Partly because Ms. Brzezinski, an intelligent, reasonable person, is essentially there to wince & groan at the idiocies Mr. Scarborough & his pals spew forth. You know, "balance." Except she's not allowed to do much besides roll her eyes. Were she to respond in complete sentences & w/ factual refutation, her news reader impartiality might be compromised, although most of the crap Scarborough says is not truly refutable, just snide attitudinal crap. If MSNBC ever wises up, Ms. B. would probably be an excellent anchor for the time slot. "Mika in the Morning," anyone? (Dan Abrams, are you reading this?)Well, maybe someone else will die in Joe's office & he'll be forced to resign from "Morning Joe," "to spend more time w/ his two young sons."

Completely disagree - this show has gotten much better. Skewer JOe for being conservative all you will, but as of late, he has been the administation's biggest critic. I actually find the show hillarious.
Editorial Reply:
Just because even an idiot like Scarborough can't continue to be a cheerleader for the Bush administration doesn't make his tired old "real Americans live in backwater shitholes & people who can handle life in big cities & aren't evangelical Christians are a bunch of commie traitors" crap amusing in the least.
Imus was infinitely funnier, even when he thought he was being clever by being "non-politically correct."
Scarborough just can't pull it off, 'cause he has no talent or personality.
