Chinese and Reporter Files

Today, the world found out the Chinese are creating files on reporters who may cover the Olympics.

Turns out they are concerned there may be reporters who are occasionally critical of something they cover.

I glad the Chinese are creating files on reporters coming to cover the most important games in the world.

That's a good project. It's better than rolling tanks over students in Tiananmen Square. Figuring out what ties Bob Costas will bring is a better project than killing those who demonstrate for freedom and against tyranny. By the way, Costas is a baseball guy.
He's going to spend all the Olympics getting baseball back for London in 2012.
As well as he should.


Here are some things I can help the Chinese with in getting their super-secret dossiers together.
If I can save the Chinese military intelligence a step or two getting their files together on reporters, maybe they won't detain as many college professors or execute as many dissidents. Detaining college professors might be okay with Bill O'Reilly. Maybe there is an opening for him with the Chinese military.

But I digress.

But here are the time savers for the Chinese.

If you tell the reporters from the southern states the St. Bernard on the buffet is really bar-be-que, they will be fine with it.

Brian Williams from NBC won't be near as interested in the Falun Gong movement as he will
the new NASCAR track going in by the Three Gorges Dam.

Katie Couric will need to know where The Gap is located.

Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly would love to room together.
(Just as long as one killed the other, that wouldn't be all bad. My money is on Olbermann.)

If the Chinese military does want to detain a network and keep them for questioning until
2050, you can have the "E Network." Maybe they can stay there.

You can have MTV also.

Wolf Blitzer is code for "don't make me stop this continent."

Charlie Gibson is a real jerk before he has his morning coffee. Don't start anything with him.
He shoots back.

and finally...

When Letterman and Shaffer goes through customs, it really is oregano. It's to use on all those St. Bernard recipes they plan to bring back.

I have friends who work on government contracts.
So, I asked them how I should bill the Chinese for helping them so here goes....

Attention: Chinese Government

Billing For: Helping Chinese Create Filed on Media People.

Total: $40,000,000

Will take it in small bills.

check wrtt's site (www.rocket951.fm) and also rnb's site:

"In October, we received a call from the agent for the Rick and Bubba Show. Informing us that his company had a made a deal with Clear Channel Radio to put Rick and Bubba in two top 50 markets, on Clear Channel Radio stations. There was one condition, however, Clear Channel told Rick and Bubba’s agent that they must leave Rocket 95.1. The agent was calling us to give us 90 days notice, and to tell us that we had until December, 31st to find a new morning show. Now, Rocket 95.1 finds itself at a crossroad. And to our listeners, we apologize. But when one door closes a new one opens. In a few days, Rocket 95.1 will debut a brand new, morning show. It will not be beamed via satellite from another city in the United States. It will be live and local. We feel strongly that this is your radio station and this will be your morning show. Thank you for your support. Long live local radio, long live Rocket 95.1."
