This summer I wrote about social media sites and made note of several celebrities I talked to at press tour who said they were not on Facebook or Twitter at that time. But people posting under their names were on these sites. This week a friend pointed out a fake that's particularly funny: A faux Andy Rooney , confirmed as fake by CBS, on Twitter.

A s the U.S. Senate weighs a 2,074-page health-care “reform” bill, supporters of a government option for medical coverage consider this the finest federal initiative since the Emancipation Proclamation.

Filed under: Other Drama Shows , Programming , OpEd , Reality-Free Sundays have always been a good night for CBS. It's been a good day for years, thanks to the NFL. Traditionally, the football games bleed right into prime time, which commences at seven o'clock because of 60 Minutes .

Glenn Beck asked, "What are the goals of Andy Stern and SEIU?" then aired a clip of Stern stating on PBS's Bill Moyers Journal, " workers of the world, unite, it's not just a slogan anymore.

From what I can tell, most jobs have a mandatory age for retirement. I believe for clergy in the Episcopal Church the mandatory retirement age is 72. Most of the members of my parish are retired, but that's because when the U.S.A. turned over administration of the Panama Canal to la República de Panamá, many of the workers were offered the opportunity to retire with full benefits, so...

JUST AS BAD & BORING Often Brit opinion writers are as bad and boring as newsmen in the United States. Finding they have little to say for a Monday morning, they read something written on the other side of the pond and copy it, only with a slant intended to make it seem more reassuring and balanced. So today we have at the Guardian , one dude who takes DD's shtick and waters it down into nothingness...
