The Short List — Wed., Aug. 20

Posted by Joe Bardi on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 6:55 AM

I haven't yet come across the leaked U2 tracks this guy is ranting about, but I gotta believe he's right on about the viral marketing angle.

  • McCain takes a five point lead.
  • Obama goes on the offensive.
  • Just rewards: Air America's excellent Rachel Maddow gets a primetime show on MSNBC.
  • Oh. My. God. Lauer and Roker try some men's synchro gymnastics.
  • Get high on the sounds of binaural beats.
  • The foolproof way to curb underage drinking: Lower the age limit.
  • Dave Matthews Band begins the hunt for a new sax player.
  • Shocker! Last week's bigfoot in a freezer was a hoax.

    Can't you just hear the NBC execs pleading with Matt Lauer to wear a unitard? He looks like he's going to implode. And Roker, well ... he just looks like he's going to explode.

    What about Brian Williams in a guest appearance? Classic, stodgy, old-guard media acting funny. Outstanding! It makes you realize that those unitards really do only look good on tiny gymnast people.

    1. I can't believe Big Foot was a hoax. I thought for sure it would turn out to be Michael Phelps' siamese twin. 2. Lower the drinking age?! Wah? Canada is fucked. 3. I'd like binaural beats for Christmas, please. And how long before Apple starts using them in their television ads to pied-piper us into buying more iPod crap? 4. Good for Rachel Maddow. May she do us ladies proud and not turn into a smoke-blowing, egomaniacal news buffoon.

    4. Whoever could you be referring to? I'm totally stumped. I've got it: Cokie Roberts!

    Oh no. Not Cokie Roberts! If Maddow starts penning books about sappy mother-daughter relationships, I'll barf in the Barnes & Noble.

    At least that's one point in the Olbermann favor: He's never penned a sappy mother-daughter relationship book.

    No, he did one worse - no two worse. He wrote an entire book dedicated to the WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORRRLD, not to mention his tome on American values. Ick.

    Does this mean if a cop pulls someone over for drunken driving while listening to binaural beats, he'd have to administer a Neuralyzer test instead of the standard Breathalyzer?

    Yes, Sal. Just like in MiB.
