On Studio 60 I suspect that one of the problems they're having is
its hard enough to write edgy topical humor when you're commenting on things that are actually happening in real time -- and that part of the reason it is so effective is that people have been perseverating about those topics all day/week and you are now exposing their humor.
They're trying to make up a situation, make us care about it, then nail it comedically. Granted, they're using "events" that are very similar to actual events we've experienced -- but they're forced to be vague and one of the first rules of comedy is that specificity is funny.
I don't think the obstacle is insurmountable and I bet they find their way around it.
Oh, no they didn't. Where's my tinfoil hat at?
Oh, no they didn't.
They did it three times, actually.
Three lefts make a right.
Despite being irrationally grouchy last night, and then given rationale for increasing grouch, I do think I'm keeping quite calm. But my pants don't fit right, and I knew they didn't when I wore them out of the house. I'm also irritated that I don't have
any
black pants that fit right, despite having five pairs. The one pair that fit great? I accidentally washed and tumbledried. So they're a little...inviting. And need the hem repaired.
Yikes. I could go on forever.
OK, this is so fucked up it's funny. Or not.
It's not just O'Reilly, but the Associated Press too:
[Dobson] touched on the uproar over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, D-Florida, who resigned Friday in a scandal over electronic messages he sent to former teenage male congressional pages.
The party affiliation that dare not speak its name.
Late Update: As of about 12:18 PM, the version of the AP story I linked to at the San Jose Mercury News has been corrected. But it must have been what the AP sent out over the wire. So I'm sure there are million more examples of it still out there.

And
today I decided not to snack between breakfast at home and lunch. That was a timely-assed decision.
