President-elect Barack Obama's interview on Sunday's "60 Minutes" garnered the venerable news magazine its highest ratings in nearly a decade. NBC should have got him to do a cameo on "My Own Worst Enemy".

On Monday night, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Chad Michael Morrisette, the West Hollywood resident that took front lawn Halloween decor to new levels with a Sarah Palin effigy and a burning John McCain, as the Worst Person in the World. He beats out Bill O'Reilly and Joe Lieberman.

LA Dodgers defeat San Diego Padres 6-2. Andre Ethier keeps on feasting on those fastballs. In the eighth inning with the Dodgers down 2-1 and Russell Martin on second, Ethier drove a ball out to left field for a game-tying triple. Then with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Dodgers leading 3-2, he hit a bases-clearing double that was barely fair down the right field line to give the Dodgers a 6-2 lead. Dodger's starter Hiroki Kuroda was shaky in this outing but managed to give up only two runs on nine hits and two intentional walks. Ethier helped Kuroda's cause by throwing Adrian Gonzalez out at the plate on a Chase Headley RBI double in the third inning. What doesn't Ethier do? With the Diamondbacks losing the Dodger's magic number is down to 16.

The tiny radio station in San Bernardino who prides itself on being "an important part of the Inland Empire by offering local news on the hour, seven days a week, produced by local veteran newscasters who live and work in the Inland Empire" are sure getting a lot of attention because of a syndicated talk show host in New York City. AP is reporting that KCAA will be in court with CBS on Tuesday...

It has to be an embarrassing moment for the female anchor, and is probably perfect year-end gag reel fodder for MSNBC weekend anchor JJ Ramberg, who is filling in during this holiday weekend. We all get emotional whenever something or someone dies. Usually it doesn't happen on national tv. Fortunately most of the country tunes out of MSNBC when Keith Olbermann is on vacation....

There are four ways to look at the Military Commisions Act that was signed into law Tuesday: 1) Oh Fuck. 2) Surely this will wake up what few logical Republicans are left in that party who will turn their backs on this tyrannical group and do something other than re-elect these un-American power whores. 3) This is all a terrible nightmare. 4) Looks like I've got to run for President in 2008 with one...

You know you might be a dumbass if you've got conservatives getting on TV asking if you're a dumbass. This week former US Rep Joe Scarborough (R, FL) had a ten-minute segment in which they tried to figure out if President Bush is stupid or just talks like a dummy. Like any fair show they had one guy on there to say he wasn't an idiot, but that guy had a very tough time...
