LiveBlog for Thursday, March 5, 2009
• Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about President Obama’s mortgage plan, the budget, and Obama’s high approval ratings.
• Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) calls in at 7:06am Pacific to talk about the omnibus spending bill and earmarks.
• Karl Frisch with Media Matters for America calls in at 8:06am Pacific to talk about their monitoring of Rush Limbaugh and his diatribes of hate.
• Two Senate Dems, Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, urged President Obama yesterday to veto a $410 billion spending bill and said they are going to vote against it, criticizing it for its cost and for including too many personal pet projects.
• The Obama administration’s foreclosure prevention program was launched yesterday. It calls for companies to help as many as 4 million struggling borrowers by modifying loans so housing payments are no more than 31% of monthly gross income, and it will allow some to refinance into lower-cost loans even if they have little or no equity.
• Former White House political adviser Karl Rove and counsel Harriet Miers have agreed to face questions from Congress about allegations of improper political influence in the Justice Department. Both will give depositions to investigators from the committee, and claims of privilege will be “significantly limited.”
• Former first lady Barbara Bush underwent heart surgery yesterday in Texas. She is said to be “fine” and “awake” today.

Good morning Mama, Mooks and mookettes and all the live bloggers!
It’s Thursday – donuts, muffins AND fresh baked bread!
Good morning capt, the rest of the Live Blog gang and Team Steph!
Mmmm, I can smell the baked goods!
It’ll be interesting whether President Obama signs the Omnibus Spending bill (his staff have already characterized it as “old business” started in the last session on Congress). Or, will he veto it on principle as a way to show fiscal discipline. Personally, I’d like to see him veto. It would be another indication that the adults are in charge (unlike the free-spending, ear-marking Repubs of the past eight years).
I would like to see a veto – I’d also like to see us out of Afghanistan.
Like the old saying . . .
“Wish in one hand – poop in the other – see which one fills first”
The budget only runs to Sept.? (I think)
So it is a Bush thing – either way.
The Asian markets were doing well again – a good sign so far. (markets-wise)
An interesting bit from down-under:
Obama wore bulletproof suit at inauguration: report

March 4, 2009: CNBC Gives Financial Advice
“The Daily Show” broadcast of March 4, Jon Stewart eviscerated another cable station, CNBC, as a shill for Wall Street, hyping a failing system to the detriment of its viewer/investors. What Stewart uncovered (as he so often does) is that the so-called mainstream news doesn’t really generally cover news or investigate: it is a cheerleader for the oligarchy, cheerily misleading the average American into an economic ambush.
(via Buzzflash)
(starts with a little ad but . . .)
#5 Jon Stewart is indeed a truth-teller. He and the rest of the Daily Show crew deserve the awards they receive.
oh, dear. Good morning! Love that Jon Stewart! Hi capt. Thanks for the donut.
Hi shaf!
I heard on my local radio news early this morning that NINE million people will be helped by the foreclosure prevention program. (Chris quotes four million above).
The regulations need to be very tight.
GObama!
Barbara Bush has a heart?
“Barbara Bush has a heart?”
I think they gave her one in some kinda operation.
(kiddin) everyone knows she is heartless!
earthworms have like eleven hearts. I wonder which one kicked up for bar.
quakers wear those long coats to cover their tails, and they always wear a hat or long hair to cover their horns.
I’ve been told that I’ll be laid off in July. This morning my wife had to leave early because they’re having an early meeting where she works. Today could be interesting.
Sometimes people change after open heart surgury.
My dad got considerable nicer.
I used to say, took a surgeon to open his heart.
Good luck to Babs. May be find a new life, cuz she’s gone heartless for too long.
the brain is intensely dependent on blood flow. If you’re anemic or your carotid arteries are blocked with plaque, you will behave differently–you’ll be forgetful most of all. You won’t be able to follow lines of logic. You will have the sense that people are intentionally fooling you or cheating you. If it goes on long enough, you begin to lose brain cells and it’s an avalanche after that. People mistake it for dementia and alzheimer’s.
I know this because for months I was walking around with virtually no hemoglobin, trying to do a high-tech, creative job surrounded with coworkers who were 20 years younger than I was and at least 10 or 20 IQ points ahead of me even in the best of times.
I would never wish ill health on anyone.
I hope Babs lives to see her pwesidential son stand in the dock and answer for his crimes.
oh capt my capt– couldn’t ‘ave said it better me own damn self.
#14,
That – and – pump-head from bypass machines. A well known condition although not well documented or explained.
Personality changes are just one of the effects.
I feel so bad for the lost football players (off the coast of Florida)and their families.
I’ve been on a little boat in that location when a sudden storm came up. Very scarey.
Good morning, Glories!
Yes, I LOVED that Daily Show yesterday.. Jon Stewart played all these video bites from Fox, CNBC, MSNBC, etc. showing just how wrong all these financial programs and big guns have been. And their hypocrisy and stoogery..
“Well see a bad jobs report tomorrow.” Economy might bottom out in may or june–if we’re lucky.
is pump head permanent? I thought it was a syndrome that faded over time.
It’s my last day of work for… (?)
Hopefully not that long. I’ve already had several bites from monster et al
Morning, Stephophiles.
While you wait for the show, check out the video of new my 18th century reproduction bagpipe chanter being played by its maker, EJ Jones, along with a 100 year old set of drones.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp9dZbqsv84
He should be shipping it back to me in a week or so with all the pewter decorations finished. I’m so excited!
Enjoy!
* Cognitive impairment does indeed occur after bypass surgery. This study should move the existence of this phenomenon from the realm of locker room speculation to the realm of fact.
* The incidence of cognitive impairment was greater than most doctors would have predicted. In this study, 42% of patients had at least a 20% drop in test scores after surgery.
* The impairment was not temporary, as many doctors have claimed (or at least hoped).
The decrease in cognitive capacity persisted for 5 years.
#5, the daily show clips were effin’ brilliant.
“is pump head permanent? I thought it was a syndrome that faded over time.”
Doctors had hoped it was a temporary condition. Since 2003 several studies (Duke and ?) show the effects seem to linger for 5 or more years. The effects are too subtle for the study to be conclusive.
I haven’t seen anything new on the subject in the last couple of years. The last thing I read was about slowly rewarming after surgery – a cost that most hospitals and doctors avoid (UGH!)
And I thought “pump head” was a fellatio technique
*SKATES*
#28!
lololololo
I’m thinking you are onto something!
#29, well, we did say Bubba was one when he behaved badly during primary season…
Yup, I think Bill does show the effects. He was not on top of his game, not the way he was years ago when he was a candidate.
Better to be alive and “pumped” than the alternative.
Thanks for the CNBC video link, Capt. I’ve written lots of e-mails to that channel. They are SO in the tank for any lame Repug idea and are already blaming all the troubles of the world on the six-week-old Obama administration. What it is about having a little bit of money that turns so many people into RW jerks?
gabby, hope your wife has good news this morning.
and Inadequate, I’m rooting for you, too.
Russ Feingold – still FINE and still GOLD!
He is one of the good guys – reminds me of Wellstone in some ways.
Oh my my my
It’s SHOWTIME you bastids!
Places – ready – start the countdown!
good morning!
Stewart Sinks CNBC ——– (Videos) ——–
Good morning from Maryland (waving in all directions).
Saw The Daily Show last night. Jon and co. ripped CNBC a new one and deservedly so. Watch the whole show if you can. The guest (forgot his name) was great in his discussion of those CNBC gasbags.
Rove and Meyers should have their testimony televised live on CSPAN, not in private. Grrrrr.
#32, not just a little money: unearned money.
33: thank you, carol. I’m certainly doing a lot more praying these days. Nostradamus and the Bible Code seem to agree with the Mayan prediction of 2012 as the “end of time”–but one Bible Code commentator pointed out that the end of days could simply mean the end of an old regime–possibly a change of priorities and a new world order in which wealth and oil are no longer the gods, and in which children, the poor, the elderly, and the downtrodden will be lifted up and given what they need to have a better life. If my wife and I are both out of work, we will turn our attention to that. This could be the dawning of the age of aquarius.
overture, dress up right
sanchez for senate
Our local 1350am is NOT running Mama and the SMS show?
WTF?
#40, gabby, It’s a new day.
Barack and roll
Morning Mookies!
Evidently Rush has challenged Barack to a debate. What ego! Bill Press just said he’d debate Rush, and rent the hall and band. He’s done the equivalent of slapping Limpbaugh with his glove.
It’s Rush’s world and the rethugs are wallowing in it.
Campbell Brown challenged Rush to a debate DURING the presidential campaign. He didn’t accept.
Republimbaughs!
They own it!
Sasha could bash Rush in a debate.
Limpbaugh the Hutt
I’m increasingly convinced we need to do away with capitalism.
Not markets, not business. But capitalism: that system of economics where the rich front money to start a publicly owned business enterprise with the promise of partial ownership and a share of the profits. Most small businesses aren’t capitalist; they start with loans, rather than a stock offering. Privately-owned concerns aren’t capitalist.
The only reason for public stock offerings, and the only reason for public stock, is to get a business up and running. Since companies don’t reliably pay dividends to stockholders, there’s enormous pressure on them to boost stock price, since that (rather than dividends) has become how stockholders get their money back. This is corrupting and leans toward short-sightedness.
But what to do about it? IMO, public companies should be required, after a period of time, to buy back their stock and become ESOPs. Let the people with the real stake in the company – the employees – be required to eventually become the owners.
Private concerns would remain private concerns – this is only for public companies.
What would we call this system where workers eventually do own the means of production, but through mandatory investor buy-out?
gotta love Karma
I was driving home from taking son to school and got stuck behind a trash truck on a wicked curve on our main street (which is dangerous on good days forget now when the street has been narrowed due to snow). There was a double yellow line so I couldn’t go around.
However, the driver of the Saab behind me decided he needed to go so he started around us. Once on the opposite side of the road the saab’s left front axel broke (ha!).
ROTFLOL!
Some stuff is just funny and stays funny!
(that’s the good stuff, eh?)
#54,
Saab makes a Karma-ghia?
(kiddin) Serves ‘em right!
Heidi Klum doesnt do anything for me. Dunno why.
Stewart Turns CNBC Into A Pile of Steaming Goo
Morning all!
So Babs Bush had heart surgery? Who knew she had a heart?
“Heidi Klum doesnt do anything for me. Dunno why.”
You have to invite her over or ask her out?
My apology to Rush: Sorry you now have a target on your back, Rush, but you put some HIGH EGO people in an uncomfortable place, and they…will…get you. Remember : they and their money made a cretin bigot like you a success and they can…and will…take it away.
Well, Babs was underendowed with a heart anyway, so this surgery is working out well for her.
(Cindy, Cindy – CNBC was already a steaming pile of goo..)
Good morning, bloggerists. I’m wishing you all well, but particularly good health!
OMG who was that??? O.M.G.O.M.G.
Octo-mom lost/misplaced one of her first 6?
I hope CPS has a sharp eye on her.
Sad for those kids
MidWestRuth: you’re not doing it right (apologizing to Rush).. You need to GROVEL. ;->
Ivan THAT’s the title of the dailykos dairy
911 tape: Octuplet mom frantic in search for son

Those poor kids
Operation Commando Eagle! It’s an eagle without underpants!
The less I hear about Octopussy, the better
In fact, if she and her brood vanished into a rift in the space-time continuum, I would be far happier
okay this is pissing me off .. I can’t get any sound out of hulu this morning
After seeing Rush’s CPAC act, I thought of Fatty Arbuckle. I believe he was once the highest paid actor in Hollywood. His excesses brought him down in an infamous manner. I wouldn’t be surprised if Limpbaugh also met a similar fate.
oh you people shuddup .. it’s cold here in MA
Our local AM1350 was running some guy – then went to commercial – then said “Now we return to Stephanie Miller” – only to be followed by dead air.
There must be problems in radio land this morning.
That or the oilgarchy is having trouble conditioning the message on progressive stations? (tin foil hat time?)
It’s actually not bad in DC. It’s a lot warmer than 2-3 days ago, and it’ll be in the 70s later in the week.
Hope it doesn’t get too warm, I’ve got a parade in full dress on Saturday.
frankly
Suppose to be 72 here today. Only goes down to 50′s at night.
Now the clear desert air at night has been a light show of stars but winter is over for the ABQ.
I’ve been Rick-rolling my co-worker all week. And she keeps falling for it. She went for the iPod trick twice in the same day.
“Hey, check out this new song I found…”
LOL
#76,
That’s MISTER Frank Lee?
you guys are CRUEL!
#72 reminds me of the song on Family Guy:
“Fatty’s in a little jam, dead girl, dead girl”
Good Morning! I’m back from a required meeting. #$%!@ work! (Oh, I forgot, it’s No Cussing Week)
#75,
Stream of thought:
Maybe time for a mini-kilt – which made me wonder would a bag-pipe mini band be too high pitched for humans? (only dogs can hear it?)
(JK)
#77 capt – I’m so envious. I’m not a cold-loving creature. Plus, I absolutely love the scenery, light and dry air in New Mexico. And the art scene. And the architecture. I’m hoping when my better half retires that we can make our way back there on an extended trip.
#82
no cussing week is only for goody goodies.
ASK her to recalc the real the budgets from Bush that include these costs … so our talking heads have the numbers
No Friggen Cussin’ Week
Good morning guys! and gals! of the LiveBlog!
#72 dendame, I couldn’t agree more. Remember Obama’s a poker player; I can’t help but think he’s trying to draw Rush out of the shadows into the limelight where his lame ideas will alienate moderate Republicans.
Andy Borowitz nailed it when he took Rush’s statement that he wants Obama to fail to its logical conclusion–funny:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/limbaugh-rooting-for-plan_b_171997.html
#82 – No cussing week was this week?! &%*($) it I forgot.

We exported our smog and slavery to China. We get the cheap products and they breathe our waste.

You have to let me know when – we can do a dinner or something?
“No Cussing Week”

Sanchez for congresswoman!!
Wait – she already is!
WOO HOO!
I like her POV
Smog angels!
I have family in Denver. I remember them calling smog “Smaze” (back in the 70′s) because the Mile High City couldn’t have real smog like LA.
It still sounds funny to me.
We call it “Smaize”
#99,
Now THAT’S corny!
Bump music = ProducerChris’ new iPhone
Good and polite caller – nobody is falling for Mama’s schtick!
lolololo
… without secret service
Rush is running for President?
Oh my – delusional is as delusional does, eh?
#94 capt – If layoffs happen next month, hubby will be anxiously looking for freelance work. Elderly puppies also make travel difficult. If we’re able to make the trip this year, it would be great if we could meet with you for dinner.
Ha! Rush was the morning DJ on W.O.L.D.
Cochlear implant on Rush – you can see it in current pictures.
Rush has 5 houses in one place…must make it easier to hide his drugs..
How does ProducerChris know about the Dominican Republic sex trade??? Inquiring minds want to know!

Flush Dimbulb, scum baggio deluxe.
Rush is a junkie who thinks all other
junkies should be persecuted, but not
him. The Criminalization of Addiction is
WRONG, and that bloated filth won’t say
it.
Every time Rush Limbaugh says ‘liberal’
it sounds exactly like a cock sucker
swallowing. Not that there is anything
wrong with cock suckers. OK, I admit,
I ripped that off from Ernie Hemmingway.
Rush is a pioneer in HD radio. He’s high and deaf.
ba dum bum!
I just called Limbaugh a “preening overbearing narcissistic pop-off who has self delusions of godhood,” Read it!
#83, a mini-bagpipe?
You asked for it: the binou-kozh: http://www.hotpipes.com/pipe0010.html
Looking for a sound file.
Drive by – Gooood morning all!!!
I’m sorry I called you a fat f**k, Rush. I meant to call you a REALLY fat f**k.
I’d wish that you DIAF, but the grease fire that would result would consume Florida.
Gots reports to write, maybe here for lunch, SPARTA ON!!!
#112 Good One Jim! ROFLMAO
“Not that there is anything wrong with cock suckers”
I had a pal who I would call a CSer – he would always say: “Suck one cock and you’re labeled for life!”

OMD or OMG?
#122,
This was one of my straight pals! Seriously.
He was fairly open minded (he spend a few years in prison)
He used to say “I know sucking a dick is gay but what about just rolling it around in the mouth a little bit?”
I used to roar with laughter – he was killed in an auto accident in 1989 (still miss his sense of humor)

#127 my fave was back when Billy Clinton put
the don’t ask don’t tell thing in place. The
troopies were asking about the policy. They
wanted to know “is it gay if you’re sucking
a he-she’s dick?”
Ya gotta love the troopies. Always trying to make
sure they understand the policy. Too bad they had
to go off to a f@#King illegal, worthless, immoral,
evil, unnecessary WAR for Halliburton & Exxon
profits… so glad I got out in time.
#121, Oh, laugh now. Trust me, this thing is so high-pitched it’ll make you bleed out of your eyeballs.
#126 – Definitely, intentionally OMD (Oh My Dog). Not dyslexia, humanism-ism/canineism-ism.
awwright, I’m going to go dig out my
chanter and see if the reed is dried
out or if I can start practicing agin.
Gotta love a chanter. A sheep stomach
and a sheep thigh bone: a real instrument.
Git yer sling out too, a poor man’s .38 –
take that wolf’s eye out at 100 yards if

so here’s my ARRA question — is there anything in that Medical Info project that demands that the techies employed be US citizens — or can they outsource that whole thing to India? Where’s WashTech when you need them?

How do we change the attitudes of the people in this area???
I so want to like where I live… help!!!
#130 oh yeah I forgot. The troopies
asked “is it gay if you are sucking
a he-she’s dick?” but the second part
was “what about if you’re playing with
their tits while you do it”?
you can see why they felt they needed
clarification.
#127 – I have a friend who says “It’s not gay if there’s no kissing involved”! LOL
#128 BrianMonster – just checked that wiki link to OMD. Never heard of them. Loved that one of their members had been with a band named Dalek I Love You. Dr. Who references make me tingle.
#136
tell people you like that your town’s great and to move to your area,
at the same time spread the rumor there’s a more conservative-friendly area someplace else, say, one state over.
“is it gay if you are sucking
a he-she’s dick?” but the second part
was “what about if you’re playing with
their tits while you do it”?
I think it all depends on whether one is wearing a uniform or a strap-on?

MidWestRuth – lol .. she hung up on me because while I was trying to get her to calm down and actually feel good for them and find some good things for her to feel good about for herself I wasn’t giving her the kind of comfort she wanted.
But what she’s doesn’t understand is that I have never felt that anyone has any right to feel jealous once you let the person go. To wit people asked me if it bothered me to think of my ex-husband in bed with other women .. I said “NO, he’s my EX!”
I’m as tired of Scott as I am of Rush..I know Steph loves to “play him like a cat toy” but enough is enough.
LOL he wants to go to Germany where they have their version of socialized medicine. Poor Scott. He’s seeking the Germany of 1933. Who knows, he may slip through a time warp. Oh the ecstasy mein Fuhrer, to at last worship at your feet! Where’s my uniform and boots? Where’s the concentration camps?

brb – kid who felt sick this morning now feels well enough to go to school … against my better judgment
back to my Turducken 2009 recipe:
Flush stuffed into Hannity stuffed into O’Reilly
stuffed into a wood chipper
Rush doing the Funky Chicken at CPAC really weirded me out.
#173
that would explain Joe the Plumber’s dumb@ss remark: “Back in the day, really, when people would talk about our military in a poor way, somebody would shoot ‘em.”
The Daily Show played Rush jumping up and down, interspersed with scenes from Japanese films of earthquakes.
“ I have never felt that anyone has any right to feel jealous once you let the person go”
And yet, jealousy can rear its hideous head without permission.
Getting over a lost love can take a lifetime (maybe longer)
It is recovery – like rehab – it is a process.
Time doesn’t heal everything – it just makes stuff look smaller in the rearview mirror.
Scott might get an apartment next door to a nice Turkish family.
Littul Scotty can’t be for real. He’s way too
much of a cliche tool. Prolly Jim doing a voice

Repealing the Telecommunications Act would wipe Rush out once and for all.
#176 BTW, why is it that an overwhelming number of sci-fi stories that involve time travel end up in Nazi Germnany? Just askin’.
No rush you’re more fun as a cat toy .. wiping you out would kill that
#187 Please, let it be!
You peeps are CRACKIN ME UP!
Especially “scenes from Japanese films of earthquakes”
GREAT visual!
#188, I’d love to see a Sci-Fi did that, and they kept running into other time travelers from other shows, like dozens of them, literally tripping over each other.
#175 I finally had to set a 2AM limit on mom-makes-it-better talks because I was too bleary-eyed at work. My “you have great worth and are not defined by who loves you, or hates you or ignores you or bores you” fell on deaf ears.

Joe the Plumber — ah ha! [in best Nelson Muntz voice]

Hi, Mookskateers.
Did Momma have fun with “Scott, The Cat-Toy”? I thought I heard him make an appearance this morning.
188 – I think because there was a leap in technology during that period, and if the Nazi made the bomb first it could’ve altered the war’s turnout.
#189 The only problem is, for everyone of us who see Rush as a “cat toy” there’s at least a dozen Dittoheads who think he is an oracle.

“you have great worth and are not defined by who loves you, or hates you or ignores you or bores you” fell on deaf ears.
It might seem like deaf ears but maybe you planted a seed that will sprout and grow into a new understanding of the human condition.
I think you gave very wise advise.
Where’s rw Donnie? Is he giving Scott his sponge bath?
“What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?”

Speaking of Nazis, a friend of mine says that Glenn Beck is comparing the Democrats to Nazis and Obama to Hitler. Glen Beck must be a super-hero, he definitely has the power to stupefy!
Nice to see Steph ud to date on her cultural references. Next up, Rodnay Allan Rippy.
#200,
‘cept they spell oracle “Orakal”!
lololo
Nazis are used as bad guys in movies where they don’t want to have antagonists with any sort of gray area. Nazis are evil and that’s that. It’s kind of a moviemaker shorthand that’s grown rather tired and cliche.
Chris, most swords-and-elves books and movies suck because they’re cheap-ass copies of LotR.
LotR the movies aren’t perfect (whenever Peter Jackson injected himself into it, it shows), but comparing LotR to a run-of-the-mill swords-and-elves story is like comparing The Godfather to a run-of-the-mill bad mob movie.

Speaking of movies–I’d really like to see the progressive movie guys come out with a neo-futuristic flick–one where poverty, disease and famine are wiped out, and class warfare and racism gone. You know, workers’ rights reign over corporate influence. I think if more people could see how that future looks, it’d be easier for them to accept the first steps…like universal healthcare.
I would think that high school drug tests would be for the teachers and maybe the student athletes. And why would you need to buy your own tests at the drug store?

#222, that future was called “Star Trek the Next Generation”, and people thought it was hokey and heavy-handed, especially when they introduced the Ferengi to represent today’s capitalists.
Steph said “boobs”
heh heh heh
#222 I’ll see what I can do (with my Indie pals).
Popcorn flying around? Not oreos, Mr. Steele?
#222
like in “Demolition Man”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)
The WH made Rush say it – SAY IT!
These GOP slugs have no clue how effin reeeeedickulous they sound?
223 Jim! Saginaw MICHIGAN or Wisconsin? yer right up I-75
drug tests for all who want them!
none for those who don’t want them!
drugs for all who want them!
none for those who don’t want them!
same with guns
#228 Oreos and popcorn? Mr. Steele certainly makes a lot of foodie references.
222- And more cow bell.
222 – sorry, but that sounds painfully boring… you need to have conflict coming from somewhere
Saginaw, Michigan
Saginaw, Hawaii
Steele – kinda like a stock “pump and dump”
THAT will give the GOP some cred.
I think it was Jon Stewart who reminded the GOP “You know it isn’t just ANY black guy?”

Getting back to the Lush Rush, isn’t he guilty of Sedition?
Sedition is a term of law which refers to covert conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

last night. Lot’s o’blood and gore,

If only I had the capability to photoshop the Barbarella

who did…
SPAR – warming up but don’t RUSH! – TA!
lololololo
Sedition? Flush? no. TREASON.
Hang the Fucker.
Hi Bloggers!
Did anyone catch the name of the group that the caller – who would take no more comments – referenced about the health care summit today? I just learned that, at the last minute, Prez Obama invited two people who support single payer health care to join in the reindeer games today.
Where are the friggin sharks with lasers on their heads?
I knew there was a unicorn in the basement of the White House! That and big foot!
capt, I know what you mean about Amazon,
some issues, fortunately there are other
sites… can’t wait to hear your book report,
you are in for a treat.
Rush Limbaugh isn’t the leader of the Repugs.
he’s the mouthpiece of the Powers That Be. he is paid to say those things which benefit his benefactors.
260—yay! Good for Obama for inviting the single payer advocates, even if it was at the last minute.
that’s all I asked for: sharks with laser beams
throw me a bone here
Largess = Largeness
The difference between sedition and treason consists primarily in the subjective ultimate object of the violation to the public peace. Sedition does not consist of levying war against a government nor of adhering to its enemies, giving enemies aid, and giving enemies comfort. Nor does it consist, in most representative democracies, of peaceful protest against a government, nor of attempting to change the government by democratic means (such as direct democracy or constitutional convention).
Random question–any of you smart people know what hospital in Miami Robin Williams might have been taken to? He’s just gone through a divorce and since I’ve been through a divorce too I fear he’s going crazy the way divorced people do.
Jim’s Buckley. freaking genius.
259
Stephanie has already dropped the hint Fox-style that Oxy-Boy could be executed for treason.
I LOVE that woman.
#264 Yep, he is the water-carrier for the corporatists and neo-cons.
Of course the GOP wants financial devastation for America. They want millions of homeless, hungry people marching in the streets. They want riots to occur (even if they have to incite them) so they can scare the hell out of voters who will turn away from Democrats and vote the fascist Republicans back in to control of government. It’s not about what’s good for America, it’s all about what’s in it for them.
Rethugs are incredible. Everything they accuse liberals of, they in fact actually are. Methinks they dost project too much.
Jim sounds too much like Wallace Shawn.
273—yup.
250 – Oh I hope Elizabeth Hassleback is there today, Rachel will turn her into a little puddle of goo…
#268 ya got me, I’m too simple for the finer distinctions
between sedition and treason, but willing to be eddycated.
In any case I still want to see that fat bastard Rush hung,
along with all the Repug Neocon bastards. I know damned
well they deserve it. World Historic Crimes Against Humanity.
Subversion of the Rule of Law. War of Aggression. Torture.
Rendition. And Flush was right there all along lying to
justify it.
The mush from Rush comes mainly out his tush . . .

It happens to me a lot in real life too.
um. the makers of the movie “300″ prolly owe each of us a free copy of the director’s cut of said film, due to all the free advertising.

Yet another link to HuffPo, but really this article explains more about the stock market crash/banking crisis than Forbes+Biz Week combined:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/04/jimmy-caynes-profanity-la_n_171850.html
In which Jimmy Caynes, CEO of Bear Sterns, and obviously unaware of No Cussing week, calls Tim Geithner a lot of names because he wouldn’t bail out the Bear. Oh yeah, and he smokes a lot of pot and was the guy who went golfing during the crisis. Duuuude, that’s righteous!
If Heidi Klum has the tush of a teamster then I will start praying to look like her.
But she’s not very bright. I’ve seen her in talk shows.

As a BBW I’m getting a bit tired about people who must always insult us. I’d rather be big then a bigot.
Steph, you’re too obsessed about your weight.
Can we say “sucked ass” during No Cussing week? Oh, what the f*ck!
I am tired of hearing the 19 or 20 million listeners?
Put Mama on 750 or 1,000 stations and she could make the same claim.
UGH! (only people would actually enjoy hearing Mama!)

Shut yer piehole, there, dincha know it’s No Cussing Week??
Referring way back up the page to the ass-kicking of CNBC delivered by Jon Stewart last night: I e-mailed the URL and a couple pertinent questions to the Squawk Box hosts this AM and received a rather terse personal response from none other than host Joe Kernan. You know, I think Stewart really struck a nerve up there at the “Close But No Cigar” channel!!
BTW, the Dow is in the dumper again today with the ticker reading an ominous 6666.66 a few minutes ago. Citigroup is having a 99-cent sale on its shares, so better buy ‘em now before they’re all gone!!

Did anyone see Stephen Colbert yesterday. He did a new bit called The Doom Bunker complete with dry ice smokiness. It was a take off on that fool Glenn Beck. It was hysterical.
The GOP is definitely operating on autopilot.
I heard earlier that Republican’ts in congress have proposed a bill to declare victory in Iraq . . . but they never declared a war in the first place WTF?
Republican leaders?
“In what respect Charlie?”
“The GOP is definitely operating on autopilot.”

#343 kar – I saw it. Glenn Beck is trying to scare weak-minded followers. He asks “experts” what terrible things we’ll experience by a particular year due to the Democrats. It’s real survivalist fright talk.
So now the GOP is trying to nudge Steele out, probably because in spite of his self-confessed “rhetorical flourishes” about one-armed midgets and such, he is actually trying to do his job and get the GOP’s wheels back on the road. Makes perfect sense.

Rachel Maddow is on the View right now.
Did anyone else have the paranoid suspicion when, after Obama took the wind out of McCain’s sails by saying his current helicopter was just fine, suddenly the plans and specifications of said Marine One helicopter were found to have been leaked from a DOD contractor’s computer via file-sharing ware and turned up on a computer in IRAN…that maybe someone didn’t want to lose the contract for the nice new expensive super-cost-overrunny helicopters?
Obama’s opening gambit to dramatically expand the health-care system has attracted surprising notes of support from insurers, hospitals and other players in the powerful medical lobby who are set to participate in an unusual White House summit on the issue this afternoon. The lure for the industry is the prospect of tens of millions of new customers: If Obama succeeds in fulfilling his pledge to cover many more Americans, those newly insured people will get checkups, purchase medicine, undergo physical therapy and get surgeries they cannot afford today.
[...]
Not everyone is happy, of course, and lobbyists and health-care experts warn that major obstacles lie ahead…
Former Columbia/HCA executive Richard L. Scott has launched a nonprofit group called Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, which promises a $20 million multimedia ad campaign warning that the country is hurtling toward socialized medicine. Scott, who was pushed out of Columbia/HCA in the 1990s and now runs a chain of Florida urgent-care clinics, said in an interview that he has put up $5 million of his own money to kick-start the effort, with hopes of building a grass-roots campaign.

Cindy in Boston (370)
Yesterday Ed Schultz was outraged that his health insurance premium was going up another $125/month. He will be paying more than $900 per month to cover his wife and himself. Health insurance companies will eventually greed themselves out of business or they will only exist for the wealthiest 5%. I don’t think their scare tactics will fool the public again like they did during Clinton’s attempt. Too many people are working part-time jobs, if they have a job, and can’t pay for healthcare. We’ve tried the Conservative way of ‘free market’ and it’s failed everyone but the CEO’s of the health insurance companies who rake in millions while denying needed services.
396-Put on the sun screen and get out the swim suits.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Thanks for the heat wave, Scooter! It can’t arrive soon enough. See y’alls tomorrow!
