Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hit back at Fox News during a UK press conference following the London Premiere of their new film. Fox had publically criticized the film for supposedly pushing a ‘dangerous liberal agenda’ at kids.

Rick Perry wins Texas Monthly’s Bum Steer Award
From the Houston Chronicle’s campaign blog:
Texas Monthly has announced its Bum Steer of the Year, an annual “award” granted to the person the magazine deems “has been responsible for the biggest screw-up, gaffe, fumble, stumble, train wreck, or humiliation of the past twelve months.”
And this year it goes to Rick Perry.

Rick Perry: Shall We Leave the Governing to Sodomites and Infidels?
A response to Rick Perry’s latest bizarre ad where he declares, "There’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school."
Well, I know plenty of kids who celebrate Christmas in school, yea, even public schools.
And I know of plenty of kids who pray at school. See You at the Pole, yes?
Anywho, thanks to our friends at Second City for this very appropriate retort to Governor Rick "Texas will secede!" Perry.
ABC 7 Video: Nun challenges mayor on charity’s water bill
A nun used humor to publicly scold Mayor Rahm Emanuel for ending free water for charities — and using the "s" word.
Sister Rosemary Connelly criticized the mayor’s decision to cut off charities while the two were at a breakfast fundraiser for the non-profit Misericordia, which Emanuel proposed charging for water to help plug the city’s budget gap. Connelly is Misericordia’s executive director.
Chicago’s first Jewish mayor found out what it’s like to be dressed down in public by a Catholic nun. But instead of a ruler, Sister Rosemary spanked the mayor with humor.
Sarah Palin Burped Last Week, And CNN Was There
Why does the media flock around a failed pol? I really don’t get it at all. I can see Fox News or Glenn Beck, but CNN?
CNN has officially become the media’s official gossip station.
Some recent news flash items from CNN. Sorry, I removed the links back to CNN. It’s not worth the trip. Really.
Here they are:
McCain compares Palin to Reagan
Rove calls Palin move ‘smart’
Palin delivers a gaffe-filled message
Palin hits back at Barbara Bush
Obama doesn’t think about Palin
Palin kicks off book tour amid fresh speculation of a White House bid
If Palin runs for president, should she agree to Couric interview?
Obama doesn’t think about Palin? Oh no! Will Palin sit down with Katie Couric for another winning interview? Will she pardon a turkey?
Years ago, when I was a child, CNN used to do news.
I remember.
County Board Twits Can Continue to Tweet
With all due respect and apologies to the Cook County Board for the title, I think it’s just too funny that this even came up for discussion. I would have loved to have been at the meeting only to hear Elizabeth Gorman call Tony Peraica a twit.
The electronic chirping can continue during Cook County Board meetings, as commissioners shot down a plan today to ban members from Tweeting during meetings.
Several members of the board’s Rules Committee expressed frustration with the messages Commissioner Tony Peraica sends out to followers of his Twitter account as debates rage. In the end, however, only Commissioner Joseph Moreno, D-Chicago, voted to prohibit the practice.
Commissioner Larry Suffredin, D-Evanston, said silencing the Tweets would infringe on board members’ freedom of speech. "In this situation, we are trying to limit First Amendment access — which has been guaranteed by both the federal and state constitution — between the elected officials and their constituents, and more importantly, between the constituents and the elected officials," Suffredin said.
Peraica, R-Riverside, was not on hand for the meeting, but his presence was felt throughout the debate.
"I’ll chime in, since I’ve been the target of erroneous tweets by the twit in question," said Commissioner Elizabeth Gorman, R-Orland Park.
Gorman said Peraica has inaccurately Tweeted about her positions on county issues, but she acknowledged it’s a "behavioral issue" that shouldn’t be outlawed.
Yes, there was actually action taken by the Cook County Board regarding Twitter.
I think I’ll have to Tweet this.
