Area TV executives stun middle-aged blogger by giving him even MORE air time

Yes, in fact your Gleaner has several things to say about the cheating elitist bigoted narcissistic one-percenters competing in the 2012 Hootenanny, Dog Whistle and Nimrod Squeal, or as the media insists on calling it, the Republican presidential race.

But I'm saying most of those things, and other things too, on the magic lantern these days.

A recent representative sample? But of course:

 

Windy, ain't he?

And yes, it is an actual honest-to-betsy half-hour "show" now, called "The Agenda." (Weekdays at 12:30 on MyNews3, as they might say on, well, TV.)

Thursdays I host alone. Elizabeth Crum hosts on Tuesdays, and we co-host each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Ms. Crum is a pleasure to work with, btw, her conservative views notwithstanding, and she seems to actually know how to make the TV go, as opposed to your Gleaner who naturally finds a new way to break the TV every time he's on it.

12:30? What about my stories?

Gleaner:

That's absolutely great!

I plan to record it and watch it.

Who sez there's nothing good on TV??

I just finished watching your clip, and I enjoyed immensely the interview with Marianne Gingrich, Newt's ex-wife #2. She is a conservative Republican.

She related that Newt, screwing around with Callista, said that wanted an "open marriage".

But he only wanted it open half way.

-- And it was HIS half! (rim shot!)

So she told him that the subject was closed.

(rim shot!)

Amazingly, Newt is rising in the South Carolina Republican primary polls. He is a smart cookie. He reminds me of the career criminals that Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn met on the raft on the river, in the Mark Twain classic.

I wonder how long you've been calling yourselves "Nevada's premiere source" like you can get people tickets to movie openings, and not "Nevada's premier source" which is what you mean. Also, the flag graphic's backwards: horizontal or vertical, the stars on the field of blue is always on the upper left.

Anyway, fun story: after moving back to New York, it took me months to get a new state ID. I had a birth certificate, Social Security card, bank account, and utility bill -- but all that still wasn't enough for New York. If I had a Nevada driver's license, then I would have had enough documentation; but my Nevada non-driver state ID meant fuck-all, for reasons I don't completely understand.

If my cousin hadn't made me a secondary cardholder on her credit-card account (the credit card being the final necessary documentation), I might still be ID-less today. And if New York had voter ID laws, I would not have been able to vote in the 2009 mayoral election.

And I'm white, native-born, and relatively well-off.

@ Gleaner,
Love the show!!! Much better than trying to keep up with the self-absorbed Twitter twaddle between local pundits.

@ Observer
You do realize, of course, this is all part of that whole Rectal Cranial Inversion syndrome Pneut Kingrich suffers from.

There is still no known cure for Rectal Cranial Inversion, but we can raise awareness. 93% won't understand this, mainly because they already suffer from RCI.

BTW-no one ever said grifters weren’t smart. Hey, Pneut does whatever it takes…be it “Freaker of the Spouse” or as Palinesque grifter. Now that takes some kinda balls!

Wow...you fixed it! It says "Nevada's premier source" on the show now. I feel so powerful!

Another great job Hugh, thanks! Glad News 3 is putting all of these online so those of us outside Las Vegas can enjoy them too. I also like Elizabeth Crum - it's nice to see a conservative who's not an arrogant off-putting jerk. Your tv smarts are improving rapidly Glean and by print standards your performances are brilliant ;)

I accidentally tuned in early one Thursday, a couple weeks ago, waiting for "Days Of Our Lives," and found Hugh Jackson on TV. Thought I'd died and gone to liberal heaven. Even wrote a thank you to local NBC news director. Show is great.
