I gotta new name for the Morning Joe Show...
Ya know, years ago it was 'Scarborough Country", now it's 'Morning Joe'...someone once suggested that he have another show so we can find out what his middle name is...but for now:
"The Sanctimonious. Self-aggrandizing, Self-congratulating Show starring Starbucks Joe"
If I hear him say how he ran for office in the most conservative district in three dimensions, that he voted with Democrats and talked to them, that Ronnie Reagan was the greatest American who ever lived, that he thinks the President is a good husband and father (like he should know about the former at least), that he came into Congress with the Contract with America heroes...
Pukeworthy...
And please don't tell me to switch the channel, I don't get Current TV here....thanks in advance.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Turn off the TV 
That fugger sure loves himself - he's always right 
Even on days when Joe is not sitting there in his workout clothes, leaning back and acting Superior, Mika will do me in.
Looking and acting like a startled parrot, re-mouthing whatever platitude reigns, or expounding on whatever subject has been beaten to it's last breath, I want to go take a shower every time I see or hear her.
It's basically all a waste of bandwidth, time and spit.
Theirs, and mine.
And to top it all off there are the photographs of Mika and Joe sauntering through urban America.
Tacky and Tasteless.
A few years ago I asked my fiancee, who hadn't seen the show at that point, for a second opinion.
I began to suspect they had after a few episodes. She agreed after watching about a minute of interaction...
but that might be over-kill.
Even his whiney, cajoling voice gets on my last nerve. And his platitudinous bromides are nauseatingly predictable.
Can you imagine being stuck at a dinner party or other social gathering, where you were obliged to interact politely with this blustering braggart? 
I like it when language is used so well.
When I first learned English my objective was to not have to have jokes explained to me, and to be able to do crosswords.
I got that far.
My new objective is to learn more words from you.
My French is sketchy. French is my favorite language and for the sake of that I should have moved to France, 'cept the US of A won out.
Thanks, by the way. I love compliments. The secret is longevity and perseverance.
Now I have to go see if I can tell where you are located.
OHHH- you are in Paris.
I love it for you, but for me, I can't stand the envy. I once paid for my Mom to take a train to Paris and I flew in, met her at the Gare du Nord and we spent 2 weeks there. A fulfillment of a dream for both of us.
and frustration, both at the same time.
At this season of the year, as in Germany, the days are so short that it can get you down. The sun only rises above the horizon between 9 or 10 a.m. and starts setting between 3 or 4 p.m.
Not good for people suffering from SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Not as cold as Germany, though. Paris' climate is tempered by the Atlantic which is only 200km away. I remember spending Weihnachten in München. Froze my Arsch off!
Did you know that the French are the most heavily medicated people in the world? More prescribed uppers and downers than anywhere else.
If it's not indiscrete, may I ask about your legal status? Do you have American or dual nationality or still only German? I'm a dual national--French-American.
