Just as JournoList tried to kill stories that shined their candidate or their candidates supporters in a bad light, real journalists and news outlets need to do a better job of killing these biased news "reporters" and limit them to the Opinion section.
I'm a bit shocked there weren't more Media Matters, TPM or MSNBC members... but then again, it is an incomplete list. If you find more confirmed members of JournoList, contact me via the "Contact Us" section of the website.

The Republicans Finally Have Their Own Alvin Greene
Move over Alvin Greene, we need to make room for Basil Marceaux (.com), gubernatorial candidate for the state of Tennessee... and just when I thought this election season couldn't get any crazier.
(I posted a video with subtitles... believe me, they'll come in handy)
Wow, where the hell do I begin?
First off, I don't know which bird flag the man is referring to. The state flag of Tennessee is a big red flag with a blue circle w/3 white stars in the middle of it, but yeah... I'm sure a 3 striped flag would be pretty badass.
Secondly, I'm not so certain he said he'd sell vegetation for gas. Maybe he said cash. Heck, maybe he said ass... who can tell? Either way: Ass, cash or gas... nobody rides of free with Basil Marceaux behind the wheel.
But the absolute best is the fact that he is really, REALLY not going to tolerate murderers. If you kill somebody, you're gonna get murdered back... and THEN sent to jail. Hardcore! See, that's how you enforce gun laws people... wild west style, then add insult to injury!!
UPDATE!!
Wait, there's more... an even BESTEST part... Basil's opposition.

The Obamas Set to Bring Down the House... Yet Again
Only this time the event will be televised in an all new series presented by PBS entitled "In Performance at the White House", expected to air later this year. Say what you wish about Captain Kickass, the man sure can throw a party.
Apparently the Obamas got so much flack for flying to the big apple and checking out a show, they decided this time to bring the entire show to the White House. Yes, I'm sure that'll go over much better.
Per the LA Times:
The public is invited to watch -- eventually -- on "A Broadway Celebration," which will be taped for broadcast Oct. 20 as an installment in the PBS series, "In Performance at the White House."
The Tony-winning performers are actor-singers Nathan Lane (two Tonys), Audra McDonald (four Tonys), Idina Menzel, Tonya Pinkins and Karen Olivo (one each, for "Wicked," "Jelly's Last Jam" and "West Side Story," respectively), and pianist Marvin Hamlisch, a Tony winner for his score to "A Chorus Line." Working behind the scenes is Jerry Mitchell, Tony-winning choreographer (for the 2004 revival of "La Cage aux Folles"), who will guide 20 Washington, D.C., dance students in a segment from "Hairspray," another show he choreographed.
Also performing are Brian d'Arcy James ("Shrek: The Musical"), Chad Kimball ("Memphis") and Assata Alston, a 12-year-old from Queens, N.Y., who recently debuted at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
[Update: The White House announced Friday that Elaine Stritch and "Hairspray" veterans Danielle Arci and Constantine Rousouli have been added to the show; Stritch is a Tony winner (for her one-woman show, "Elaine Stritch at Liberty"), bringing the ensemble's collective career Tony haul to 12.]
Well, thank God they added those at the last minute... I was really starting to worry if the night would be complete or not. The story continues:
Presumably, critics who slammed the president and first lady last year for wasting taxpayer money when they flew to New York for dinner and a Broadway show (August Wilson's drama "Joe Turner's Come and Gone") won't complain about Broadway coming to them. Obama-watchers can catch the president's show-opening remarks live on Monday at 4 p.m. Pacific on the Internet at www.whitehouse.gov, but the public will have to wait until October for the performances.
So lucky for us, the White House government site will give us a taste of the entertaining evening. Whoo hoo! Sure beats the "Republicans are blocking jobs and small business tax breaks" bullshit that has been airing. Maybe next they can just start replaying all of Barack and Michelle's favorite movies in a Hulu-styled format. It's been a while since I've seen the movie Panther.

Please Turn Off Sarah Palin's Mic for a Moment
What she has to say about this next article could induce career ending vulgarities.
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson are getting MARRIED!
And worse yet, they announced it on the cover or US Weekly...
Before telling the mother of the bride, a Mrs. Sarah Palin...
Sweet baby Jesus!
And, they tell Us Weekly, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been kept in the dark about their plans … until now.
“We got engaged two weeks ago,” Bristol, 19, tells Us Weekly. “It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents.”…
“I really thought we were over,” Levi tells Us Weekly. “So when I went [to meet her about child custody], I had no hope. I think we both just started talking — and then we took Tripp for a walk.”
Says Bristol, “When he left that night, we didn’t hug or kiss, but I was thinking how different it was. He texted me: ‘I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again’ … I was in shock.”
Bristol Palin, are you completely off your rocker? The guy is a douchebag. You're Sarah Palin's daughter... you don't think you can land a better dude than the former Playgirl centerfold? Are you really feeling this desperate?
Talk about your awkward holidays and family functions.
