or any live interview with Ben Stein on the topic of evolution... never let a born again Christian talk about science, especially evolution.

Points return for both in one month.

of the president and a former vice-presidential candidate in the manner it was posted is certainly against the no politics rule, and encouraged another political response.
Not my fault that Ben Stein is scientifically iliterate. Yet, he has enough of a following to create a hilariously biased documentary on evolution.
Mass Bolivia spree! Weeee! Don't worry, I'll add you to my "Free sig".
These banishments are getting out of hand.
OMG you said Politician I Like is a terrible speaker! This offends me to very core of my being and I will now engage in nasty, sophomoric ad hominem attacks until this thread is entirely hijacked and devolves into a total flame war!!!!!111!!!!
We have the no politics rule for a reason.
This was just...so strange. Probably not her debut, and on-site instead of in-studio, but still as bizarre as BGTD and fuckin' shit guy.

I can't help but wonder if something wasn't deeply screwed up with their on air countdown signals. Nobody, even an amature, should be THAT unaware that they're about to go live.
It looks to me like the station sets the bar pretty low, and yet he still managed to trip over it.
it's like intern hour on the Bismarck news
Ahhhh the internet...making a random North Dakota station temporarily relevant. Awesome for us, sucks for that guy. He does have his own little hashtag now. #KEEPAJ
Your news career is not bound to last long when your first three words are "gay, fucking shit."
Someone's fishing for a Tosh.O web redemption.

Or best news anchor debut ever?
This was all started by Big Papi...
I left West Virginia for NoDAK!? NO Way!
The scary part is that his "fucking shit" line was the most professional part of his whole broadcast. It actually got worse from there.
One just made me laught more than the other!!

That's nothing. I grew up in a small market town and the News / Weather / Sports anchors were always new. If after a year they could somehow manage to string two coherent sentences together, they would get hired by some slightly bigger market and the next newbie would be rolled out. It wasn't unusually for a debut to consist of completely freezing up like a deer in the headlights and not being able to speak a single word. You get 30 seconds of that and then you're talking about awkward. Get two frozen ones at once and you have a contest of which one is going to faint first with a cameraman bouncing back and forth clearly enjoying the situation and likely having a bet on which would wet themselves, swear, or pass out first. After a while you realize that it makes for a more entertaining show than the news anyway.

Can't believe that got past the censors...
