Hot Air has clips of Greg Gutfeld’s new show Red Eye (specifically of the ombudsman and Greg’s mom). Also, here’s Greg on what will be on tonight’s show. I think it’s important we support bloggers when they get TV shows so that one day maybe a network with less to lose than FOX News can take a chance on IMAO: The TV Show which would be a combination of hard news analysis and martial arts action.
UPDATE:
Caught the first half hour of last night’s show this morning and I think it’s becoming more polished. I’ll now upgrade it from “somewhat entertaining” to “quite entertaining.” I liked how everyone made fun of Rachel for constantly bringing up “the liberals” as the cause of everything; some reason I just find that funny to happen on a right-wing news network.
Also, SarahK thinks the skinny panelist is gay while I think he’s straight and just dorky and creepy. Anyone else want to weigh in?
UPDATE 2:
Ends up FOX News’ online site does have a page for Red Eye, so they do officially acknowledge its existence. You can find clips of the show there plus a link to the website of Red Eye’s Canadian Ann Coulter.

I’ve been thinking about Space Cadet Lisa Marie Nowak and the whole “What if an astronaut goes nuts and drives a thousand miles to stalk, kidnap, and kill their rival?” problem, and the solution is…

A Saudi Arabia funded school in Britain uses a textbook which describes Jews as “apes” and Christians as “pigs.” As a Christian, I find this offensive. This is either implying that, because I’m a Christian, I’m a pig (I’m not) or that because I’m not a pig, I’m not really a Christian (also not true). I think Jews won’t like being called apes either, and I IM’d Lair about this (Christians are allowed one Jewish friend) and his response was to toss leaves in the air and then pound his chest in an angry manner.
Now, before I get too judgmental, I should note that the Christian textbooks I had in school said the Muslims were “echidnas.” This is also not true. While Muslims are small mammals and can often be quite spiky, Muslims do not lay eggs. By the seventh grade, that passage had been crossed out, though.
We have to be careful what we are teaching kids – even the Muslims ones – and misidentifying the species of Jews and Christians is just one of the problem of the Muslim textbook in question. Here are some other things it says that could be a problem for impressionable youths:
* “Warnings against sticking your finger in a electric socket are part of the Zionist conspiracy.”
While it is true that part of the Zionist conspiracy is making sure their kids are not electrocuted (electrocuted kids can’t grow up to seize Muslim land), Zionists honestly don’t care if Muslims kids stick their fingers in sockets.
* “If you drink everything under the kitchen sink, you’ll gain superpowers.”
There are in fact very few recorded instances of this happening. This myth was mostly likely spread by companies that make liquid drain cleaners hoping to force parents to buy more of their product after their kids wastefully drank it all.
* “A faithful Muslim needs not look both ways before crossing the street as Allah will guide him to safety.”
Only partially true. While Allah will look left and then right before guiding a faithful Muslim child across the street, Allah always forgets to look left once again after looking to the right. The preferred safe way to cross the street is to look left, then right, and then check left again, which a child will have to do himself.
* “Fear not if you are lost, young child, for Allah shall send a stranger to give you a ride.”
Completely untrue. Allah may – may – give you cab fare if you pray really hard, but kids really should have cellphones these days.
I guess we Americans should get Muslims kids in Britain better text books with like math and stuff in them, but, then again, those kids will just grow up hating us all the more for the extra homework.

I was watching a show the other day which mentioned how kids can’t seem to avoid porn online (actually, it was the premiere episode of Greg Gutfeld’s show Red Eye; my DVR said FOX News was having a rerun of Shepherd Smith at 2am, but this was completely different than that), and that got me thinking: Why do we let kids use our internet?
I didn’t have internet when I was a kid, and I was just fine. I made due with my video games and my laser tag – things that may seem primitive to kids these days, but they kept us entertained. So why do kids need the internet now? They don’t. The internet is full of lots of uncontrolled adult information which is not going to change, so why not just keep kids off it. Not only will it be good for them, I don’t want them messing with the internet. Sometimes I go to Wikipedia in the hopes of gaining actual information, and the last thing I need is some seven-year-old messing with the entry on baryonic particles. I also don’t want kids intruding into a forum where we’re having an adult discussion about video game systems to tell me that “The Wii sucks!” No, it doesn’t. You suck.
Let’s make it illegal for kids to use the internet. When they’re old enough, they can apply for a learner’s permit and use the internet under supervision. When of proper age and having passed a test proving they can use the internet responsibly and not open spam e-mails, they can then get a license for full internet usage. Kids may not like this, but they’re small and stupid and have to do what we tell them.

Lynette Clemetson of the New York Times claims that it’s offensive for white people to refer to Barack Obama as “articulate”, because when they do, what they REALLY mean is “he’s articulate… for a black guy”.
Which is racist, because it’s just another way of saying that black people are inarticulate.
While I confess that I’ve previously used the A-word to describe Obama, I want to make it VERY clear that I did NOT intend it as a blanket insult to Melanin-Enhanced-Americans.
What I MEANT was that he’s articulate… for a Democrat – i.e. he doesn’t mumble like Ted Kennedy or have inexplicable screaming fits like Howard Dean.
Personally, I think it’s crazy to assume that every compliment is actually a disguised insult to a person’s race. It might be an insult to an entirely different group of which the complimented victim is a member.
Which is why I hate it when people say I’m “nice”. I know what they REALLY mean:
“… for a guy from Wisconsin – because you aren’t a corpse-eating serial killer like Jeffrey Dahmer, and you almost never make lampshades out of people’s skin like that horrible Ed Gein.”
So please… don’t use the N-word when referring to me any more.
