  1. Baier says this like it’s important. Fox News makes you stupid.

    Clearly by saying it has no name they’re referring to Eastwood’s character.

    So if people really need a name, call it “Eastwood”, “Spaghetti”, or “Blondie”.

  3. GOOD. I’ve had enough “Operation [Macho Name To Make It Sound Like a Video Game]” to last me a goddamned lifetime. So have, for example, 100,000 Iraqis. Despite what the Codpiece and Darth Cheney claimed, it’s not a f#ckin’ video game.

    2.     Fox and Friends say thatal-Qaeda’s number two is dead but is the U.S. any safer? (August 30, 2011)

      the president was hoping Hurricane Irene was going to be a dis aster. (August 30,

    (Damn…this thing will not listen to me and keeps saying this is 1 not 3.)

    Actually, boys it’s called Operation Grumble About my Burger

  5. If it has a name like Operation Crybaby Fox. right-wingers will scream in fury.
