I won't be watching them tonight, but it is so fucking ridiculous...

[MrScorpio]

Along with all of the usual suspects of right wing sycophants, faux-redneck duck dupers, as well as an entirely whole host of knuckle-dragging and mind-bogglingly hokey-assed entertainment, the folks at Fox News tonight, on their "All-American New Year's Eve" show, also plans to have England's Sarah Brightman and Scotland's own Susan Boyle as part of their "All-American" line up.

I guess no one will care as long as they're white, right?

1. As long as they're white?

I'm not sure I am following this. Are you saying that Conservatives are Xenophobic so shouldn't like people from England and Scotland?

2. well they are socialist marxist furriners, after all

what with their NHS and all.

4. It sort of plays into the idea in winger circles that foreigners are ONLY OK...

Only if they come from predominantly white countries.

Sort of bringing Brightman and Boyle into the fold, only because they come from the UK, so to speak. The fact that they call the show "All-American" and only invite white foreign acts isn't lost on this casual observer.

I suppose

5. I like Susan Boyle

Too bad she's on Fox.

[HappyMe]

6. That is strange.

Doesn't sound like anything I would watch - even less so because it's on Fox.

I probably will turn on the New Year's rockin Eve show about 11:30 or so.

7. I'll be watching Yo-Yo Ma and the New York Philharmonic on PBS.

8. I like both women singers.

9. I'd rather watch Brightman and Boyle...

than the pop crapfest on New Year's Rockin' Eve, with Miley "I'm a Big Girl Now" Cyrus leading the charge. No matter, I'll be enjoying Raleigh's First Night.

Happy New Year, DU!
