“House Republicans are holding an emergency meeting of the Rules Committee on Wednesday to take up legislation that would block funding to NPR in the wake of James O’Keefe’s hidden camera prank on the news organization.” [TPM]

if NPR told the republicans to shove their money they would probably get a windfall of donations.

@Capt Howdy: Glenn Beck’s “Blaze” website actually presented a detailed takedown of the O’Keefe video. But before your head asplodes, they only did it because Tucker Carlson’s website presented it originally.

@nojo:

they like Tucker less than NPR. wow. what an honor.

Yeah. They should pass resolutions declaring the sky to be the color purple and Deep Space Nine to be the best Star Trek Series while they are at it.

Posturing dickheads.

@Capt Howdy: It’s actually one of those things where the aftermath is proving more interesting than the original story. NPR’s initial response was craven, since they were reacting to the Inevitably Suspiciously Edited Tape, not the full version. They didn’t come out with a take on the raw footage — which still had a missing thirty seconds — until Sunday, I think.

Gotta give O’Keefe credit: No matter how many times he’s shown to be a charlatan, folks keep buying his crap.

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: @Dodgerblue: The original series remains the best, since it started from scratch and created a universe that sustained the succeeding movies and series. And while it took DS9 two or three seasons to get rolling (TNG also required a season to find its legs), it got very interesting once they figured out what they were doing with it.

Even Voyager had its moments. Enterprise we shall pass over in silence.

Um, would you mind meeting me in the sandbox? Sorry.

@nojo: What do you mean, EVEN Voyager? 7 of 9! Best Finale Ever!

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: You mean the Oh Shit We’re Being Canceled Let’s Bring Them Home Fast finale? That one?

@nojo: That ruled and you know it. Borg! Violations of the Temporal Prime Directive! Hologram/Human marriage!

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: Hologram… Hologram…

Oh, right: Example #3 of Alien/Robot/Light That Only Wants to Be Human.

They also squeezed Pinocchio #4 into Voyager, but she was hawt.
