The Obama Channel
« on: October 02, 2008, 05:45:38 AM »
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/01/obama-has-his-own-channel-on-the-dish-network/

I caught this link this morning.  It seems Obama has an infomercial running on his own channel on Dish Network.  I had to check with someone who had Dish Network to verify and sure enough, this is running on channel 73.  Not a bad idea assuming people actually watch it. 

The link sort of assumes it is donated air time or something, but I haven't seen anything that says that.  We'll see I guess.

We have Dish, I'll try to check it tonight.

73 is "flyover country" on the way from the normal networks to stuff like Food Network, History, etc.

I used to have Dish and I agree.  I was thinking the Military Channel was in that range.  I have DirectTV now and unless they stick it right near the channels I watch, I would never know it was there.

Is that channel an NBC affiliate?

Do they start the morning and do a signoff with his smiling, benevolent face and a song of praise about his generosity and the rise of the workers?

...not sure if that's even a joke anymore, after those kids...

No, he would not salute.

That would imply respect for the military.

Actually, the song I should have referenced was "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".  It was from a quote falsely attributed to Obama.

He probably would have liked you, too.

Such camps already exist. Google the words 'Tranquility Bay'. Shudder.

Okay, as soon as MJ comes up with some real musical talent, we'll be sure not to link it to Obama.

I think that taking the opinion of our resident Isreali (and a youngish one at that) and ascribing it to an entire country is a really stretching the envelope.   =D
