Toaster enjoyed the Michigan-Ohio State football game today. But the color on the tv set was funny so the Buckeyes looked like they were in purple and grey instead of scarlet and grey.

Zenyatta Is Retired

The great mare Zenyatta was retired Wednesday and will be sent in early December to her new home at Lane’s End farm near Versailles, Ky. Her owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, however, have yet to pick a stallion for her first date in the breeding shed sometime in 2011.

Ted Koppel: Olbermann, O’Reilly and the death of real news

… We live now in a cable news universe that celebrates the opinions of Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly – individuals who hold up the twin pillars of political partisanship and who are encouraged to do so by their parent organizations because their brand of analysis and commentary is highly profitable.

The commercial success of both Fox News and MSNBC is a source of nonpartisan sadness for me. While I can appreciate the financial logic of drowning television viewers in a flood of opinions designed to confirm their own biases, the trend is not good for the republic. …

Toaster says no matter what Mr. Koppel thinks, Bwana’s hair is still nicer than TedHead.

Olbermann Suspended From MSNBC for Campaign Donations

Keith Olbermann, the pre-eminent liberal voice on American television, was suspended Friday after his employer, MSNBC, discovered that he made campaign contributions to three Democrats last month. …

Mr. Olbermann’s contributions came to light in an article by Politico Friday morning. Mr. Olbermann acknowledged in a statement that last month he donated $2,400 to the campaigns of Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona and Attorney General Jack Conway of Kentucky, who lost his Senate race to Rand Paul. …

Gee, whizzies.

That’s more than Toaster gets for his allowance.

No more toast for Bwana! Toaster’s on strike until he gets a bigger allowance!
