Stupid C*** Watch: Roseanne Barr
CNN isn’t top on my list of “must watch” (it’s only marginally more credible than Al Jazeera) and the idea of watching Larry King puts my television at risk of having a shoe thrown at it.
So damn you (you know who you are) for dangling the carwreck of Larry King interviewing Roseanne Barr.
The link is to the transcript. I figured linking to the video was just too cruel.
From the getgo you need to understand that between these two intellectual giants, their combined IQ just might run a Teddy Ruxpin … for about ten minutes … and Teddy would be more entertaining.
The always fawning King slathers the flattery on Roseanne like mayo on a turkey sandwich (and considering the acreage on that turkey, the mayo comes in ten gallon drums). Roseanne’s verbal skills match her intellect (makes you wonder why people go to watch her show … laugh with her or at her?) and King is relentless in getting her to hold forth on a variety of tough and weighty issues.
KING: On your blog you write, “Bush is going to declare war on China next, I swear.”I’m like, Drudge should get a restraining order, you know?BARR: I was so scared because I woke up and there was the Drudge, you know. I always read the Drudge Report and it said on there that the Chinese were like, you know, spying on our subs or doing something with our subs and I was like, “Oh no, he’s going to think that’s an act of war and then we’re going to go over there next.” I mean we’re everywhere. We’re everywhere.
KING: No, thanks. You’ve been rough on Bush and Cheney.I guess everyone that didn’t vote According To Barr is a “nobody.” Nice to know where those that disagree with her stand, like, you know?BARR: I’ve been rough on…
KING: Very rough haven’t you?
BARR: No. I don’t think I’ve been rough on them, no, not at all. I think they’ve been rough on the country but I don’t think anybody could be rough enough on them. You know they — I don’t like what they’re doing and neither does anybody else. And I’m so glad now that it’s like proof that nobody liked it and they want it to stop.
But hey, don’t think that Roseanne doesn’t have some solid answers on how to bring down the deficit and help children
BARR: That I — that I’m getting old that’s a big regret.Can you say Nationalized Medical Care? I knew you could! :::cough::: Soylent Green :::cough:::KING: Yes, me too, except can’t do anything about it.
BARR: No, can’t do anything about it. But, you know, at least you could be honest about it and like really accept the fact that you are old and that maybe it is time for you to start moving on rather than using artificial ways to keep yourself alive at all the children’s expense. I mean really that’s kind of what it is. […] …if we’re taking everything and putting it on the national Visa card and passing the interest on to our kids we can probably save them a lot of interest if we just like let ourselves go earlier and stuff like getting them artificial hearts and the lungs and the fake. You know we should just die when we’re old and we should decide…
KING: Good luck and goodbye.
BARR: …you know, it’s like 60 I think people especially of our generation. At 86 if they’re, you know, they should just end their lives and that will like help save a lot of children.
KING: It would. It would reduce the population.
BARR: Yes but from the top down.
Roseanne shows her economics chops on why she supports an increase in the minimum wage
KING: If you do that people are going to lose jobs.Of course, Roseanne is humble to admit she doesn’t come up with all these enlightened thoughts on her own …BARR: Now that’s what they say. It just means they won’t have quite so much in bonuses for their wives’ jewelry that year, you know. People at the bottom they’ll have like, you know, maybe $50 more a week. You know there’s — we talked about raising the minimum wage. I think we need to next think about a maximum wage. That’s not to say that rich people can’t continue to get rich. That’s cool but not to the point where people are, you know, refugees at the bottom.
BARR: i write 24/7. I get up and I’m like a big old transmitter. If it’s like 3:00 a.m. and something comes in, this pipe, I run down and put it out there. If somebody comes down this pipe, I run it out there. I’m getting a lot of transmissions from other dimensions and I want and represented on the net.Ah! The Muse that dare Not Speak Its Name!KING: Oh, no, we’re not back to that again.
BARR: Well, that’s all part of it. It’s about thinking outside the box. How much more outside the box can you be when you’re like actually get outside that box? You might find out that there is a whole cyber world.
KING: Is someone transmitting to you now?
BARR: Yes, someone is always transmitting through me, always.
KING: Do you have a transmitter — does he or she have a name, your transmitter?
BARR: Just — it’s just — no, it does not have a name.
KING: Just —
BARR: And even if it did, I would not be able to be speaketh it.
Because, like, you know, it might Go Away, and you won’t ever get this much enlightenment ever again.

One of the funniest TV spots I’ve seen lately was an interview with Mark Furman asking his opinion of O.J.’s new book about how he would have committed the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman IF he had done it. Furman remarked that Simpson is as dumb as a rock and that of course the book was written by a ghost writer because if Simpson had written it, it would have been done in crayon.
What the fuck is going on with women teachers having sex with middle school or junior high boys? Adolescent girls have trouble figuring out adolescent boys. Why would an adult even want to? Adolescent boys are geeky, have bad skin, are socially inept and have few interests beyond (take your pick) cars, computers, girls, video games, and sports. What do the teachers and boys talk about? Is there ANYTHING they have in common - other than spending the bulk of their daylight hours in a school building? Maybe these sicko teachers are taking their teaching duties too far cause it’s for damn sure the boys don’t know what they’re doing.
