LiveBlog for Thursday, March 12, 2009

obamajourneyJodi Kantor, politics domestic correspondent for “The New York Times” and collaborative author of “Obama: The Historic Journey” calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about her new book.

Rep. Diana Degette (D-CO) calls in at 8:30am Pacific to talk about the return of stem cell research and about the omnibus spending bill.

President Obama yesterday signed the omnibus spending bill passed through Congress, but called for a reform of the much-maligned earmarking process. The president maintained that earmarks can serve a useful purpose, but he said it’s time for Congress and the White House to embrace a new set of guiding principles.

House Dem aides denied yesterday that work is already underway on a second stimulus package. The pushback came a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested more stimulus spending might be needed. Dem leaders believe they need time to assess whether the first recovery package is effective before taking up another bill.

First lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton marked International Women’s Day with the presentation of the International Women of Courage award to seven women from all over the world who have fought against discrimination and inequality in their countries. President Obama also signed an executive order creating the White House Council on Women and Girls to ensure women “have no limits on their dreams.”

REMINDER:  Be sure to join Producer Chris Lavoie in the StephSpace chat room tomorrow right after the show – 12 Noon Eastern / 9am Pacific.  He’ll be there answering your questions about how the show is put together, what it’s like to work with Steph, and more!

  1. Gooood morning all!

    As I woke up this morning, my wife had her radio on listening to our favorite overnight show (Steve LeVeille on WBZ) like she usually does and I couldn’t help but hear the high pitched whine of Scott the Nazi – railing on about the Ja-hews and AIPAC. I nudged my wife and said “that’s him, isn’t it, Scott the nut?” and she said “yup”. Steve just sorta led him on and let the guy hang himself – he works alone so there aren’t any “Mooks” to gang up on anyone.

    I had to call in and give a little shout-out for Mama and tell Steve about our Scott the Right Wing Religious Nut. :lol:

  2. capt says:

    Good morning Mama, mooks and mookettes, Paul and all the Steph fans!

    (donuts and muffins on the table)

  3. shāf says:

    Good morning Paul, capt (thanks for the muffin!) and the rest of our blog pals! Good morning Team Steph!

    Did y’alls catch Ari Fleischer’s trip to Revisionist History Land on Hardball (excerpts were replayed on Countdown):

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#29645065

    A “Let’s hear it for the boy!” to Chris Mathews for challenging Fleischer’s spin.

  4. capt says:

    Yeah, Ari’s “how dare you” made me ROFLMFAO!

    GAWD Ari is a joke

  5. Morning capt, shaf. Thanks for the donutz * burp * .

    I heard Ed Schultz was filling in on MSNBC last night – another competitor for the 10PM slot?

  6. capt says:

    OMG progressives are taking over!

    Run, Hide!

    Wait a darn minute – where’s Mama’s TV show? She is pretty, able and entertaining – WAY better than ED (better than Maddow even IMO)

  7. capt says:

    It’s official – I’m losing it.

    Joy is out of town on business (since Sunday) and here I am making her morning coffee and water . . .

    “Hello McFly is anybody in there?” *knocking on skull*

    I crack myself up! (I gotta have a sense of humor to live in my head)

  8. 6
    But Rachel’s radio show has pretty much become just a rebroadcast of the TV show.

    I want Stephanie to advance her career like all of us do, but the selfish part of me comes out if it’s going to affect the radio show.

  9. 7
    I’ve lived in apartments, I’ve lived in a home.
    I’ve travelled in trailers when I used to roam.
    But now in these places you won’t have me dead.

    Funyy little ditty:

    The Daily Show Designs New Outfits For Michelle Obama (VIDEO)

    “Laura iced a lotta homies!”

    lolololo

  11. ProducerChris, I’m going to get this request in “early”

    Many of us just can’t go to the chat room during work hours. Is it possible that the text of tomorrow’s chat be posted somewhere on the site so us poor unfortunates can read it?

  12. capt says:

    The “chat” should be done as a blog as “chat” is WAY too limited.

    Even if I make it full screen – I only get a few of the lines of chat – no way to make sense out of references to earlier lines of chat as those lines just leave the screen.

    (my 2 cents)

  13. HA!
    My boss just walked in and said “I heard you on ‘BZ this morning – 38 states & Canada”

  14. capt says:

    #13,

    Um, is the boss supportive or disappointed?

  15. Shane-O says:

    Erin Burnett on Morning Joe just now – “I wonder if people are staying unemployed because the government is now extending the length of unemployment benefits?” (paraphrased)

    Yeah – lazy bastards!! All those job openings out there!!!

    Gee, Erin. I wish I had a cute little button nose – so that I could make LOTS of money spouting (more often than not) innacurate financial predictions!

    Just toss that hair and flirt with Joe – grrr!

    (OK – calming now… breathe…)

    MORNING ALL!

  16. shāf says:

    #15 To which I reply, “Erin, tone deaf much?”

  17. capt says:

    #15,

    See, if we get universal healthcare AND unemployement NOBODY will ever work!

    Do these people ever actually think before opening their piehole?

    :lol:

  19. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Morning bloggies! XOXO

  20. shāf says:

    Good morning, Laura. capt brought donuts and muffins!

  21. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Did anyone watch Hardball last night? Chris was talking with Ari Fleitcher and he called him on 911, saying that it DID happen on Bush’s watch. I hadn’t heard that on “mainstream” news before. It was a great interview!

  22. Shane-O says:

    #18 – I like it! Never took the time to think of one myself. Did anyone here have other suggestions? (SMS LB well-known for funny, smart snark :) )

  23. EW278 says:

    Thank you for the donuts and muffins, Capt.

    Morning Steph fans!

  24. EW278 says:

    The Iraq journalist who threw shoes at Bush – got three years in prision. What an injustice.

  25. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    :::munching on donuts:::

  26. Shane-O says:

    #21 Harball seg 1 was a riot last night… question; talking point interrupted; question talk-over; talking point interrupted – etc.

    The most amazing one did not seem to rise to the surface — at the end, Ari AGAIN connected 9/11 to Saddam — DOH!

  27. capt says:

    Top of the morning Shane-O, Laura and EW278!

    #22,

    I don’t know if it was brought up on the LB? I’ve been busy this week, guilty of short drive-bys.

  28. shāf says:

    #21 I missed Hardball, but caught the excerpts on Countdown (see my post #3).

    For once, the corporate media is calling BS when they see it. Of course, I’ll really get excited when Rove(r) gets a rolled-up newspaper across his nose for leaving one of his dookies on the carpet at This Week or Meet the Press.

  29. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Shane-O, Yes, but you forgot to add question; talking point interrupted; JAB; question talk-over; JAB; talking point interrupted

  30. demdame says:

    Morning all. Hey capt, any strong tea for me? Have to abstain from the sweets.

    Missed you guys yesterday. Had to just listen in due to allergy migraines. The blurred vision they cause made it too hard to read and type. I did go to the chat room at noon but nobody was there.

  31. capt says:

    Oh my my my (squeezy voice)

    It is almost time to run up against Mama (Grrr in a good way)

  32. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    morning morning

  33. shāf says:

    #18 Wow, I missed that contest. Oh well, maybe next time!

  34. capt says:

    demdame,

    The muffins are sugar AND gluten free – if that helps.

    Here – *passes hot cup of tea*

  35. Shane-O says:

    #29 – So true – Ari went straight at Tweety, personally – because he was asking good questions — Thus – he MUST be biased…

  36. capt says:

    allergy migraines

    You poor dear, that sounds horrible!

    *hugs*

    I wish those aches AWAY – away I say!

  37. Good Lord – you guys are all up with the chickens!

    Hawaii, All?

    Good morning, good morning, good morning-ga!

  38. demdame says:

    capt – (sip, slurp) aaaaahhhhh! Thanks. Feeling much better. In fact, extra extra happy. Hey, what’s in this tea?

  39. EW278 says:

    #3 – What a tool Ari is. Only in America.

  40. shāf says:

    #35 Sad, how the right perceives challenging their conventional wisdom as “showing bias”. And they call us (Progressives) thin-skinned!

  41. What the hey? Where’s MY mocha java?

    Folgers will have to do, I suppose.

  42. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Oh boy, now i need to get some tea!

  43. shāf says:

    Bring on ‘da Miller!

  44. Somehow I knew I wasn’t the only one wanting to wring Ari’s neck last night.. But, consider that he had the hardest job in the world, being the Prime Liar for the Bush Administration.

    He should fall on his knees and beg forgiveness, lest he burn in Hell like the rest of Bush’s pack of liars and thieves.

  45. Shane-O says:

    HA! – funny

  46. shāf says:

    Yes, Rep. Diana is a great (De)gette!

  47. scooter says:

    Mornin’ All! The Ari Fleischer-Hardball interview was pretty good with Tweety making a few points that made the guest look especially stupid. [Ari the Butcher looks pretty stupid anyway.] As others have said before, Ari was definitely the “Baghdad Bob” of the BushCo administration, able to string together lies like cars on a coal train. And like Laura upthread, I was very pleased when Matthews brought up the failure of BushCo to prevent Sept.11 from occurring. I hope that’s a line of reasoning that finally catches on with other so-called journalists.

  48. demdame says:

    Babble-on jive. That’s the SMS.

  49. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    #44- Ivan, I’m sure he spent a lot of time on his knees, he IS a Republican…

  50. Skyhawk says:

    Morning all!

  51. EW278 says:

    LMAO at Steph’s impersination of Rita Crosby.

  52. capt says:

    Mornin Ivan!

    Funny thing I made moca java for my funny little honey (who isn’t even home this week)

    and Demdame – “Hey, what’s in this tea?

    Shhhhh – it’s herbal – that’s my story and I’m stickin to it!

    :lol:

    *passes Laura some hot herbal tea too*

  53. Shane-O says:

    new definition of “Romper Room”?

  54. shāf says:

    Hookers in the children’s playroom? Oh dear!

  55. shāf says:

    Hmmmm, Guitar Hero much?

  56. Shane-O says:

    #53 – I see Cherry and Misty and …

  57. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Lol, SHE’S a guitar hero

  58. You can’t beat the breakfast cuisine at this joint..

  59. capt says:

    new definition of “Romper Room”?

    Is that a do-bee or don’t-bee joke?

    (I’m hoping for doobie but . . .)

  60. Skyhawk says:

    54 – Not to mention Play pen.

  61. shāf says:

    An Easy-Bake Oven to the side of the head is going to leave a mark!

  62. I always hate to see any guitar abused.. ;-(

  63. capt says:

    I see Cherry and Misty and …

    Wasn’t that “Hobo Kelly?”

    With the oversized sunglasses? (BTW – she never said MY name)

  64. demdame says:

    This story reminds me of the CSI episode about adults with baby fetishes – complete with a nursery with adult-size furniture, diapers, binkies and toys.

  65. Shane-WOW! I recognize the work.. Fine stuff.

  66. capt says:

    The M$M should point out the omnibus bill was a hold-over of unfinished business from Bush.

    No small wonder it favored GOP slugs.

  67. Skyhawk says:

    64 – I remember that episode. It made me think of Vitter the moment the story broke.

  68. demdame says:

    Thanks caller for a deflation of the funny. Zzzzzzzzt.

  69. shāf says:

    I was going to go for a Pee Wee’s Playhouse reference, but that implies that he things in hand (so to speak). ;)

  70. Skyhawk says:

    Dennis is harshing my buzz.

  71. Male on female violence isn’t complete, only about 99.9% of the time..

  72. capt says:

    #64,

    I am a very open minded crazyman but the baby stuff is just a giant EW!

  73. demdame says:

    Sadly, the guitar sustained permanent injury.

  74. shāf says:

    Toy Guitar? Yep, it’s Guitar Hero.

  75. Skyhawk says:

    She tried to strangle him with a slinky.

  76. capt says:

    Making Mama laugh so hard on the air – priceless!

  77. Shane-O says:

    we need to breathe a second… :)

  78. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Stop it with the hurting and the flavin!

  79. I frequently accuse Mama of being “cute”, and I know I’m right. But a big part of her appeal is her general attitude and delivery, she cannot really be matched. Combined with her comical sidekicks, Steph is awesome.

  80. capt says:

    #81.

    Agreed! Steph RAWKS!

  81. capt says:

    And she is very cute too!

  82. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Ivan, it’s true. I love Steph more on the radio then on tv. She doesn’t have the pressure to deliver a punchline on the radio, it jsut happens

  83. Skyhawk says:

    And these same people will run right over you to get treatment if they or someone close to them has an affliction.

  84. francutiepie says:

    I just missed what the story was about the playroom can someone explain?

  85. Skyhawk says:

    86 – Wife catches hubby in kid’s playroom with hookers. Hubby gets beaten with toy guitar.

  86. shāf says:

    Doll for next Christmas season: Cabbage Patch Embryos.

  87. capt says:

    Great sex always scares many in the south – they don’t know what the term means and the idea that their sex lives have been less than stellar . . .well you know.

  88. shāf says:

    “Me dammit!” Love it!

  89. demdame says:

    #88 – Pocket pals?

  90. capt says:

    Snowflake babies – (hundreds come in a small jar)

    Just add water like sea monkeys?

    lolololool

  91. francutiepie says:

    87…thanks…..oh god that is funny…….

  92. shāf says:

    #92 Or maybe they’re just brine shrimp. Who can say?

  93. Skyhawk says:

    88 & 94 – LOL you two are sick.

  94. shāf says:

    #95 You’re welcome! We aim to please. ;)

  95. francutiepie says:

    I’m waiting for the microwave babies…..just add water and set timer for five mintues and bam…..of course if you set it longer can you get a 5 year old instead?

  96. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    baby chia pets? Just add water?

  97. shāf says:

    #97 Naw, they just come out looking like Benjamin Button.

  98. Skyhawk says:

    Baby Shake and Bake?

  99. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    97- Shaf- But give it some years and they will look like Brad Pitt!

  100. francutiepie says:

    #99 or like karl rove…..yikes!

  101. demdame says:

    A little digression. Did anyone else see the fantastic footage on ABC news of the dolphins at Sea World and the Baltimore Aquarium who make their own toys to play with? They carefully create delicate rings of air, bouncing them, sailing thru them and blowing smaller rings to float thru the larger ones. They haven’t been taught to do this. They just do it for their own amusement. I hope it’s on youtube or the abc website today.

  102. shāf says:

    #101 Hmmmm, Jim Henson’s Brad Pitt Babies (hat-tip to MST3K)

  103. GOOD MORNING!

    The right wingers hate that gold dress of Michelle’s
    they deride it every chance they get

  104. francutiepie says:

    #101…..What I can grow my own Brad Pitt……..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..I would buy that!

  105. Hmmm.. Baby in the microwave.

    I think that has already been tried.

  106. francutiepie says:

    108 puts a whole new meaning to bun in the oven…LOL

  107. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    OOoh, nice MST3K reference

    *tips hat*

  108. Skyhawk says:

    105 – Is the comment “Hated it.” or something more manly sounding?

  109. capt says:

    #103,

    Didn’t see it but WOW THAT is too cool for school!

    (love the cetaceans)

  110. shāf says:

    #109 As a segue, a pregnant Cylon (on Battlestar Galactica) is said to have a “toaster in the oven”. :lol:

  111. Carol in Central Mass says:

    s-l-o-w day for me.

    Hello to the smartest bloggers in the bloggesphere!

  112. shāf says:

    #114 Howdy do, Carol!

  113. capt says:

    You have to have a microscope to play but they are a GAS!

  114. capt says:

    Morning Carol!

  115. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Hi Carol

  116. francutiepie says:

    #105……your kidding after the 8 years of Cold Water Creek outfits from pickles? Once again right wing not known for the fashion ……

  117. Skyhawk says:

    116 – Yeah Micro-Machines!

  118. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    I’m bored by this interview, someone dangle some keys in front of my face!

  119. Skyhawk says:

    Morning Carol.

  120. demdame says:

    #113 – I love that phrase on BG. The writers are very creative. They have just the right amount of snark in each episode.

  121. pringles says:

    such as .. and the iraq…

    she sounds like ms south carolina

  122. oh Jim just go to the Cheese Cake Factory .. .one slice 2,000 cals

  123. Pamzilla says:

    something about this woman’s voice is giving me a pain in my eye!

  124. Carol in Central Mass says:

    Hey shaf, capt, Laura….and Paul and Shane-O…
    I missed the early morning connection.

  125. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Hey, if you don’t have an iphone can you still hear the debate with Michael Medvid and Thom Hartmann?

  126. shāf says:

    Jim, check out the Nutrition Action newsletter. They pick the worst foods from restaurants and packaged foods:

  127. demdame says:

    I’m with Chris and Jim. Fashion talk is boring. Never have watched the Runway and Next Top Model shows.

  128. Lisa wtf Simpson says:

    home sick so here i am. hi everyone.

  129. Good morning live bloggers!

  130. Skyhawk says:

    Morning Lisa and Ethan!

  131. demdame oh I watch Project Runway …. but I don’t watch top model

  132. shāf says:

    Hi, Ethan!

  133. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Hi Ethan! Good job yesterday!

  134. Skyhawk says:

    I’d watch Project Playroom!

  135. demdame says:

    #135 Lisa – So sorry to hear that. Here, have some of capt’s wonderful herbal tea. It’s guaranteed to lift your spirits.

  136. they’re still playing this old “something really new and cool” liveblog commercial?

  137. Dem, yeah i had tea at work to bring home, but i forgot it. so i’m tea-less!!!!!! isn’t that just awful???

  138. lisa … mee too … here is some virtual homemade (cuz I make fantastic) chicken noodle vegetable soup

  139. francutiepie says:

    why not a Suzy Q with ham and bacon…..mmmm…mmmmm….

  140. capt says:

    There is this:

    Pork Brains in Milk Gravy

    I can only think of a few food products that sound less appetizing than pork brains in milk gravy – fermented shark springs to mind – but this is certainly near the bottom of the list. The interesting thing to note about this product is its nutritional information. One can, which is about 2/3 cup, has only 150 calories and 5 grams of fat. It also has 3,500mg of cholesterol, which is 1170% of the recommended daily allowance. Yikes!

    ****

    I wonder if pork brains are any good plain – the idea of milk gravy it just too much!

    :lol:

  141. shāf says:

    El-Kabong!

  142. Carol in Central Mass says:

    any donuts left?

  143. family values only one hooker lololol

  144. capt says:

    Good eatin’!

  148. capt says:

    Madduane!

    (calls and cancels APB)

    Where have you been?

    *high fives*

  149. scooter says:

    Thanks Cindy for the Westboro link! Too bad the frat boys didn’t have any Cher albums or anyone dressed in ass-less chaps.

  150. fluffn nutter sandwiches

    marshmallow fluff and peanut butter

  151. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Cindy – you and your links! :-P

  152. capt says:

    family values only one hooker

    Well, I always have two at once (minimum) but they are little ones – does that still count as family values?

    lolololo

  153. 161 — Capt — been trying to be responsible.

    Thanks god that’s over. (jk)

  154. Carol in Central Mass says:

    Cindy, love the frat boys!
    HA!

  155. oh I think the flaming red boxers on two of the frat boys was excellent

  156. Is John Stewart doing the Limited Hangout
    for Jimmy Cramer, that criminal bastard?
    Cramer is much much worse than what Stewart
    has attacked him for. Simply being repeatedly
    wrong and an asshole is nothing compared with
    the stuff I’ve read in the last two days thanks
    to links provided here.
    hookers in the kids playroom. typical repug

  157. capt says:

    Fashion stuff see #10.

    Very good stuff!

  158. 165 capt! little hookers! is that underage or [I hope] midget?

  159. I wonder when the right wing Dad’s Rights groups are going to go after the Palins

  160. francutiepie says:

    #163….but what you need to do Carol is put some bannana’s and bacon with that and deep fry it …..mmmm…

  161. demdame says:

    So has the engagement ring been given back to the Republican Party committee yet?

  162. Skyhawk says:

    172 – They’ll find some stem cell lab to picket.

  163. capt says:

    #165,

    You sick bastid – midgets and little people only.

    Always over age!

    (kiddin you know)

  164. What Levi’s sister said is that Bristol regard’s Levi as trailer park trash and doesn’t want him around the baby

    my response Bristol having a double wide does not mean your not . . .

  165. shāf says:

    #174 Jon will be the congenial host he always is (even with Republitards), so the onus will be on Cramer.

  166. capt says:

    Bristol and Levi are suspending their pending marriage until the earmarks are out of spending bills (on the advise of McSame)

    lolololo

  167. 177 hee hee midget hookers. with fishnets and feather boas and big hair

  168. 175 — that wouldn’t be in keeping with the spirit of Palin policy.

  169. Carol in Central Mass says:

    I don’t mind being confused with Cindy.

    Hi Cindy!
    Hi francutiepie!

  170. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

  172. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Cramer is on Jon tnight, right?

  173. Pamzilla says:

    Never underestimate a “comedian”…see Miller, Franken, Stewart… John knows how to get to the heart of the matter. Did you see him respectfully skewer Hukkabee (sic)? It was masterful really. Can’t wait to see him play with Kramer like a cat toy :-)

    After pondering what it would be like to be Sarah Palin’s son-in-law, Levi was heard to say: “Thanks, but no thanks!!”

  177. Carol in Central Mass says:

    How are you Cindy?

  178. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    They have meatcake. An actual Carlin inspired meatcake. thisiswhyyourefat.com

  179. Okay listen up!
    If you want to meet me I will be at
    Game Keeper in Providence, RI this Saturday from 4pm – 10pm
    We play a lot of board games, many you probably have never heard of but we are always willing to teach.

    Saturday is also Wits & Wagers night which is like Pub Quiz and it’s a lot of fun.

    Game Keeper
    1105 Main Street, Suite 2225.
    Pawtucket, RI
    401-728-0202
    in the Hope Artiste Village
    http://www.hopeartistevillage.com/page.php?id=14

  180. Bristol and Levi and Oxycontin oh my
    I can’t even see a picture of ol’ Sara Dumbass
    and her gigantic railroad jaw with that smug
    stupid sheep-killing dog smile plastered all
    over her it. What a dreadful morran.

  181. capt says:

    After pondering what it would be like to be Sarah Palin’s son-in-law, Levi was heard to say: “Thanks, but no thanks!!”

    Or:

    “I’ll have to get back to you with that”

    Or:

    “In what respect Charlie?”

    :lol:

  182. 179 — yeah, Shaf, that’s what Cramer’s counting on. I believe tough questions will be asked; evasive, whiny answers will be given. In the end, Cramer will look like a creep, and Stewart will still be able to get the tough guests. But I would love it if the kid gloves came off, just this once. You know Jon could do it.

  183. 188 ROFLMAO
    189 shaf you are ezacly right, that’s who I was picturing

  184. capt says:

    I love the little lady from Total Recall – THAT started a whole thing with me and little people.

  185. Mark drunken biker old paratrooper in Deetown says:

    What a dreadful morran.

    I concur!

  186. Again, remember the grand hypocrisy of Republicans over the pregnant Bristol issue – would they have been so “understanding” if the Obamas had a pregnant teen?

  187. capt says:

    Abstinence only worked out so well for the Palins.

  188. demdame says:

    Here is the link for the dolphins making their own toys story:

    http://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=dolphins%20playing&type=

  189. 196 I don’t want to see Jon Stewart ask the questions.
    I want a prosecutor to grill the fucker on the stand
    on the way to sticking him in prison for a long, long time.
    And his criminal cronies. “Sir” Allen Stanford is another
    one. Go Directly To Jail

  190. scooter says:

    Wonder if Cramer is gonna call Jon “just a comedian” after today’s show? Who knows? Maybe we’ll get a blanket mea culpa from Jimbo for all of the sins of the Close But No Cigar channel.

  191. wanna good belly laugh: “Pounding Bat Sodomy”
    http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pounding_bat_sodomy

    it’s not what you think

  192. capt says:

    #202,

  195. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    LOL she knows the wife!

  196. Carol – I’m okay. Had ultrasound on my legs yesterday.

  197. blah blah blah caller who cares how the WIFE looks in this
    the freaking Rethug politician looks like crap so I’m
    laughing

    do tell us more about his continual hooker thing though

  198. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Is this woman on the treadmill while she’s calling?

  199. capt says:

    Had ultrasound on my legs yesterday

    Is that a band? (kiddin)

    How’d it go – all is well I hope?

  200. 202 — looking down the page a little bit, there’s a story (apparently still dolphin related) called “Kinky Sex is On the Rise”, but then again, when isn’t it?

  201. Skyhawk says:

    A good woman who swings a mean guitar.

  202. Bernie Maddof go to jail
    please please not a nice jail either!
    and this pays his victims back how?
    mebbe someone will shiv him in the shower
    or something

  203. capt says:

    when isn’t it?

    Easy – after the big “O”

    lolololo

  204. Skyhawk says:

    Queer quacks?

  205. capt – I don’t know. Waiting for the doc to call.

  206. 214 “hellhound on my leg” is a cassette album by Fish Karma and the Droning Headaches.

  207. capt says:

    A good woman who swings a mean guitar.

    But she will NOT swing with hookers.

    Picky picky picky!

    :lol:

  208. can’t they do some artificial insemination thingy with those ducks

  209. demdame says:

    Will Guitar Hero now be marketed as a marital aid?

  210. thisiswhyyerfat.com is freaking gross!

  211. ok back after being tossed and then had to get tea and breakfast

  212. capt says:

    #220,

    You know I am psychic (read psycho) and I see good news in your future!

    It will be “all is well”

    I swear! (if I have anything to do with it)

  213. shāf says:

    ProducerChris does not know Eric Sevareid? Puh-leaze!

  214. Cough cough splutter says:

    yah, so much for breakfast, ever

  215. francutiepie says:

    #183…sorry about that I just got my first cup of coffee in me now….life is much better…LOL

  216. 8. More Companies At Risk of Failing

    A lot of big, well-known companies are in danger. On the list: Advanced Micro Devices; AirTran; AMR (parent of American Airlines); Chrysler; Duane Reade; Eastman-Kodak; Ford; General Motors; JetBlue; Krispy Kreme; Palm; R.H. Donnelly; Reader’s Digest Association; Rite-Aid; UAL (parent of United Airlines); Unisys; and US Airways.

    America’s malls are going to end up looking a lot different. The retail sector is obviously getting hammered, with chains like Circuit City and Linens ‘n Things already out of business. Many other retail chains are in trouble. Also on the bottom-rung list: Barney’s; BCBG Maz Azria; Blockbuster; Brookstone; Claire’s Stores; Eddie Bauer; Finlay Fine Jewelry; Harry & David; Loehmann’s; Michael’s Stores; Oriental Trading Co.; and Sbarro. Again, this doesn’t mean the company is doomed. But many of these firms will restructure, close outlets, shrink, and find ways to transform themselves. So if you ever go back to the mall, and your favorite shop has disappeared, you’ll know why.

  217. “Legalize Kinky Sex!”

    “uh, it IS legal”

    “not the kind I like”

  218. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Jim is doing RW Scott.

  219. francutiepie says:

    I wonder if Richard Dawson was Producer Chris’s pervy uncle?

  220. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    It is Scott, right?

  221. scooter says:

    There’s no sexual dimorphism in Blue Ducks [Hymenolaimus malcorhyncos], so gender confusion is somewhat understandable. New Zealand endemics, BTW.

  222. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Fran- LOL

  223. I have never peed in the shower.

    But I think it might be fun, sometimes.

  224. shower peeing stuff: Stephanie Louise Miler you don’t have
    to work blue

  225. shāf says:

    Note to self, do not use Stephanie’s shower.

  226. peeing in the shower is environmentally friendly

  227. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    I don’t pee in the shower…

  228. capt says:

    Effin funny show AND blog today!

    You are all cracking my stuff right UP!

    lolololo

  229. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    LOL, dump in the sink.

  230. i’ve also used the sink when i had to

  231. demdame says:

    New website – Steph in sink. Mind bleach, stat!

  232. 240 oh maddy go way out on a limb and live a little then!

  233. francutiepie says:

    I heard some people get paid good money to pee in the shower….or is that on someone……get that so confused…….maybe momma has a story to tell?????

  234. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Note to self – make SURE to use Steph’s shower.

  235. and I’m on mine (yeah I know TMI)

  236. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Pee on someone in the shower?

  237. Dan The Man says:

    I once caught some guy peeing in the communal shower at the Health Club. Gross! Just think if the drain water flows and you get some backwash. Get someone’s pee on your feet? Ick!

  238. Skyhawk says:

    Better a number one in the shower than a number two.

  239. yeah i would not pee in a public shower. but i do in my own and it is wonderful

  240. 255 — pee is actually antiseptic! if you’re out in the wild & get a big, ugly cut, pee on it to prevent infection.

  241. shāf says:

    #254 And now, we’re talking Golden Showers. The blog has reach a new cultural ebb. :lol:

  242. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    255- Was his name George Castanza?

  243. francutiepie says:

    #254……So I’v been told heard that Jack Nickelson is a big fan….LOL

  244. Dan The Man says:

    Gotta remember that stuff smells and it leaves residue. Every morning the mens room at work smells like an outhouse. Don’t think those urinal flushers work very well.

  245. Laura – my cycle

  246. shāf says:

    #258 I’ve heard it will neutralize the toxins of a jellyfish sting, or is that an urban legend?

  247. 258, madduane you are correct

  248. scooter says:

    Ever wonder if Ghandi peed in the shower?

  249. Dan The Man says:

    Ladies – if you’re doing number ones, use a damp washcloth to clean up after and use that washcloth ONLY for that! Saves a lot of TP.

  250. my dad was telling me that if you pee at various trees around your camp when camping, it tends to keep the bears and mountain lions away.

    fascinating, eh?

  251. francutiepie says:

    #260…..Shaf……I do what I can to bring the culture to the blog…LOL….besides I blame Jim for it……he started it in a way!

  252. demdame says:

    Who’d have thought we’d sink so low. I need a shower. Oh, wait….

  253. Skyhawk says:

    Ever pee in the shower while playing with a toy guitar?

  254. shāf says:

    No worms in the shower, Steph!

  255. combat medicine class: urine is sterile if don’t
    contaminate it
    it makes a very good improvised antiseptic

    at least that’s what I tried to tell her…

  256. 269 – actually in Muslim countries they use water and rinse themselves after peeing

  257. i thought levi ditched bristol?

  258. francutiepie says:

    Chris is like the prude of the show…..like he has never had sex in the shower…..then again maybe he hasn’t……LOL

  259. yes, corrrect, Jim

  260. Dan The Man says:

    Remember the SEX IN THE CITY episode where John Slattery played the politician who wanted Carrie to pee on her?

  261. Dan The Man says:

    Had sex in the shower a couple of times (BJs). Fun!!!

  262. 279 — There’s a Hernandez Bros. character called ‘Bolo Cereal’ who is a depressed jack in the box, who loses his ballerina doll girlfriend because he’s boring & conservative & unimaginative. Chris is reminding me of him.

  263. sex in the shower is overrated. it’s the one time masturbating is more enjoyable.

  264. capt says:

    Never pee at a wedding shower or a baby shower.

    There are places for that!

    lololo

  265. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Ever pee on a toy guitar?

  266. ah ha Bernie
    now will it be known as a Maddof Scheme?
    fuck yes lock up his sons wife and brother
    sell all their organs to pay back investors

  267. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    288- Capt, that actually DID make me Laugh Out Loud

  268. And for the record, I am not into “showers” of any color. The whole idea is extremely off-putting to me.

  269. try a a massage shower head set to massage and used “down there”

  270. Carol in Central Mass says:

    #279, Brian,
    My mom wanted my dad to go pee around the edge of their backyard. There was a groundhog problem in her garden.

    He wouldn’t do it.

  271. I don’t even masturbate anymore. I don’t know where my hand’s been

  272. shāf says:

    #286 Oh, that’s what the “pulsate” setting on the Shower Massage is for! ;)

  273. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    281- Dan, i remember that. And she was considering it.

  274. shāf says:

    This is Sparta! (ka-bong!)

  275. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    sparta!

  276. capt says:

    I never have sex in the shower – I wash my unit – repeatedly until very clean (VERY clean) –

    *lather rinse and repeat as necessary*

    That’s all – I’m just like Jim!

    (jk)

  277. Can’t help myself. I just fired off a “Soundoff” to my local newspaper (Las Cruces Sun News), in response to a RW moron insisting that employees should be “entitled” to a secret ballot:

    Republican opposition to the EFCA has nothing to do with their concern for employees “rights” to a secret ballot. The EFCA does not take away that right; what it does is to reduce impediments to union organizing, the true issue with union-busting Republicans. They couldn’t possibly care less about employee rights.

  278. Duck.
    Duck.
    Duck.

    SAPAAARTAAAugh!!!

  279. capt says:

    Cindy NAILS IT!

    She makes it seem so effortless.

    *BOWS*

  280. OMG did I get Sparta? me the one who doesn’t care about this to the point of laying off posting around this time

  281. “sex in the shower is over rated”

    what about sex hanging upside down from a chandelier
    over a stairwell in a batman suit? just asking

    careful with that bat-a-rang

  282. shāf says:

    Yay, Cindy! Spartan of the day! *bows*

  283. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Speaking of peeing, this is SOOO funny

    http://failblog.org/2009/03/11/golf-club-fail/

  284. I did, I did, I got SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!

  285. capt says:

    #304,

    Llama llama DUCK!

    lolololo

  286. Congrats, Cindy! I was not even paying attention

  287. francutiepie says:

    #283 all I can say in denfence is times are tough, stress is high and I’m tired of working harder and getting no futher so blowing off steam and having a few laughs with the live boggies and Steph and the mookies make life a whole lot easier……that’s my potty defence and I’m sticking to it….LOL

  288. capt says:

    #307,

    You must try that in a frog suit (very French!)

    :wink:

  289. Skyhawk says:

    Okay. Aren’t there laws about shacking up with a minor?

  290. Carol in Central Mass says:

    Cindy reigns at Sparta,
    and Katie has a chance to run from those confessions.

  291. what show are they talking about?

  292. Producer Chris how’d you do with “Superfection?”

  293. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Who are they talking abot?

  294. capt says:

    #306,

    Oh stop the humility – you rock and you RAWKED the SPARTA!

    You own the trophy today and it is well deserved.

    *bows* twice

  295. well wait hasn’t Angelina had a girl friend and boy friend extra relationship tryst on Brad?

  296. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    LOL!!!

  297. Have you heard that Michael Steele is a fan of those “Pack Rat” singers? You know, like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra?

  298. Amy outside of DC says:

    I stopped watching Heroes this season (didn’t want to watch the Hero Holocaust), but Hayden’s ex plays Peter Petrelli, one of the stars of the show. He used to have this ability to pick up superpowers from other people just by being in close proxitimy to them, so he was the superest of superheros.
    She’s being really blonde if she thinks she can get him fired from the show just because they are no longer dating.

  299. OMG someone compared DV with THAT?!!?!!?!?

  300. Capt

    thank you but you’ve never noticed that I don’t post at all around Sparta time

  301. demdame says:

    Cindy – It’s your indifference that attracts SPARTA to you.

  302. OMG people do not know ANYTHING about Domestic Violence…. grrrr Oprah please enlighten everyone!!!

  303. capt says:

    “Okay. Aren’t there laws about shacking up with a minor?”

    Yes, the “law” allow a 12 year old to marry in Colorado.

    So there!

  304. Lisa @314 I wasn’t apying attention either lol

  305. capt says:

    but you’ve never noticed that I don’t post at all around Sparta time

    I’ve noticed and I miss you around that time!

    You still RAWK! (deal with it!)

    *hugs*

  306. Amy outside of DC says:

    I missed the first hour, so this may be redundant…
    November 5th (a new day) I predicted Bristol and Levi were never getting married. Now they’re broken up. Because her mom isn’t vice president, Bristol gets to be a regular teen mom (a single, high school dropout). Now if only she got government assistance for food and housing, she’d be a role model for pregnant teens everwhere.

  307. ah ha Randy Duke sleazbag ref

    Randy you scum you sold out the troops and let
    defective weapons and parts be sent to them
    after you were a war hero

    you should be so ashamed you kill yourself in prison

  308. demdame my massive indifference came after massive disappointment

  309. capt says:

    well wait hasn’t Angelina had a girl friend and boy friend extra relationship tryst on Brad?

    I hope so! (maybe I still have a chance?) Dream on capt!

  310. yes, Amy, they talked about it about 1/2 hour ago. maybe before then, too. i was not listening.

  311. i’m so glad they finally used bits from Dingo & The Baby. It’s about damn time!

  312. capt says:

    I used to think corned beef hash was the worst food in the world.

  313. Capt, how can Angie be surprised — hello how did SHE meet HIM?

  314. JIM .. UNCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    no mas no mas!!

    please for the love of what ever deity or none deity you choose.

  315. francutiepie says:

    now I work in the culinary field and none of that food sounds good Jim, just one big old mess……..who would eat that ?

  316. pringles says:

    Basic Buttermilk Pancakes
    Rating: 4 – They are not perfection, but they are the best I’ve found!
    Source: Modified from Joy of Cooking/Cookin4Love Cooking Light post

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    3 tablespoons sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/2 cups buttermilk
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    2 large eggs
    1/2 teaspoon high quality vanilla extract
    Fresh berries to garnish
    Pure maple syrup

  317. capt says:

    Capt, how can Angie be surprised — hello how did SHE meet HIM?

    If I knew THAT She would be meeting the capt! (with a party in my pants!)

    (kiddin)

  318. Also, Michael Steele is down with the groovy hippity hop musics, too. He loves P. Diddy, and thinks Snoop Dog is just like guys he knew in his neighborhood. So hip, that one. He talked about growing up in the era of the DJ, and liked the Grandmaster Flash. I really miss that era of the DJ, myself.

    THis is all from the interview in GQ, but I learned about it on the Princess Sparklepony blog.

  319. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    pants party!

  320. actually I think what JIm has been reading has actually made me sick to my stomache

  321. capt says:

    “Joy of cooking” is a great cook book!

    I would just offer the idea of using sugar-free syrup.

    Even if not suffering from diabetes the sugar-free stuff is nearly the same as full HFCS crud and is not so hard on the body.

  322. capt, she met him on the set of Mr & Mrs. Smith when he was married to Jen Aniston, he dumped his wife for Angie — so now she’s surprised to see him in a compromising position with another woman? after he got with her through cheating on his wife?

  323. francutiepie says:

    #340…..Corn beef hash (red flannel hash for those in New England) when done right can be rocking….has to have a nice little crust on it…mmmm…mmmm…good

  324. i wanna call steph & the mooks, but i have nothing to add… :-(

  325. because Lisa people never think that far.

  326. francutiepie says:

    #351 see that’s where I went wrong ….Joy of Sex and Joy of Cooking always got them confused…….LOL

  327. capt says:

    #352,

    I know – I was just trying to be funny.

    I fail at that but in failing I crack myself up!

    lolololo

    :lol:

  328. Out the hypocrite earmark-inserters President Barack! you go!

  329. i wish RWW Jerry would call i miss him

  330. Skyhawk says:

    Another Scott? Joy.

  331. hey caller idiot go get educated on your own time
    you tool

  332. Skyhawk says:

    Ask Scott what he does for a living.

  333. most people in America are employed by the US Govt

  334. the caller thinks something from govt = Soviet quality

  335. francutiepie says:

    #354…any Sausage product is good…..in all ways…*wink*

  336. shāf says:

    Scott (caller), money going to governments for infrastructure will go out as commercial construction contracts.

  337. capt says:

    Joy of Sex and Joy of Cooking always got them confused

    Okay, here’s the rule – if there is a drawing of a big hairy guy it is a James Beard cook book and if you are using crisco for anything not baked in the oven you are actually cooking in the bedroom!

    (now I’m not making any sense to even myself!)

  338. oh the private sector works great if the CEOs aren’t all
    freaking crooked bastards

  339. scooter says:

    Nebraska Scott is yet another embarrassment to the Scotts of the world!!

  340. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    ACK! I missed the caller, i hate when work gets in the way of Steph

  341. laura, that’s why i got stephcast!! it’s the best!!! i’m home sick though so i’m here

  342. I think any system of society can work, from complete anarchy through totalitarian communism, if everybody’s invested in MAKING it work. barring that, I choose a middle path, where each party can balance the other.

  343. shāf says:

    The RWNJs are frothing at the mouth because in this case, government is the solution.

  344. scooter says:

    Ya know why it’s so windy here in Kansas? ‘Cause Nebraska blows and Oklahoma sucks.

  345. shaf, i know. i have many of them in my family…

  346. my dad has been a dittohead since 1988………….

  347. francutiepie says:

    #368 you know Capt I understood the whole thing….god isn’t that scary…….LOL…

  348. LOL … my right wing friend worked for Denver City government … and who spouts the privatization thang

    until I mentioned how around here city and town government contract out for work to be done

    he then took me to task about how he in the parks department planted flowers etc. and they had to go back and replant flowers that the contractors of the city government had planted incorrectly (like instead of planting in soil, planting in the mulch

    what was funny he didn’t seem to make the connection

  349. demdame says:

    Without passing this bill, the government would run under a continuing resolution. That would budget agencies at last year’s funding levels, which would slow improvements, new staffing and new projects.

  350. scooter – LOL
    my uncle in Reading is kind of upset with all the windmills – but KANSAS is the perfect place for them

  351. Laura in Binghamton, NY says:

    Lisa- Oh yes, I’m a loyal Stephcast subscriber, i listen to the show again at 3pm :)

  352. Jim — here’s something more for squeezy … it was obvious that Rachel really likes Megan too.

  353. wtf is this commercial

  354. laura, 384 – i know! all day i look forward to when i pop in “walkin on sunshine” on my way out to the truck!

  355. francutiepie says:

    ok kids I have to go to a meeting have a great weekend everyone and see you next week on the blog!

  356. capt says:

    #375,

    One of my pet peeves.

    UGH!

    The big difference between “private” and government is “private” is most often FOR profit and government is not suppose to be so.

    So when it comes to public works there should be no profit. Why should some a**hole make millions providing a public service?

    (not bryan adams)

  359. capt, yeah they think that without the “profit” there is no motivation in the workers to get the job done? like the worker sees any of that ‘profit’…

  365. 394 — Lisa, go get the Love is Hell alb. It’s so beautiful & haunting. It’s the album he wrote right after 9/11 in NYC. Kind of a reaction to the success of his song “New York New York”, but other things as well.

    Last night on ET the Octo-Mom showed off her new home. She proudly said (paraphrasing) “I paid for it myself. Nobody gave it to me”. She acted like she worked hard for the money that she got for her story.

  368. scooter says:

    Actually, this new stimulus bill has TONS of money in it to facilitate the construction of new efficient powerlines that will carry windpower from the High Plains towards population centers. This in turn will encourage the construction of lots of new windfarms.

    Here in W. Kansas we already have enough windpower to supply a large percentage of our local needs [only 500,000 people live in the 40,000 sq. miles of W. KS], but to send that power more than a few hundred miles will require a major modernization of the national power grid.

    Food porn always starts with haut sausage?

    (cracking myself up again!)

    Why do so many things sound so funny in my head?

  414. Amy outside of DC says:

    #450 Very entertaining show. Once you’ve watched it, anytime someone gets food on their shirt, you can cry out “(person with food on their shirt) versus food. Food wins!”

  415. 451, amy – i’m with ya.. never did the “daddy” thing… yikes

  416. between Reading, Admire and Emporia Kansas there is a dam built by the WPA it is quite beautiful around there and that dam is still very sound

    That’s not the “daddy” of which I speak.

    Or

    Not when I’m slappin that Ass and she is screaming “oh God”

    (I assume this isn’t the religious GOD – that too would be a mood killa )

  418. capt says:

    451, amy – i’m with ya.. never did the “daddy” thing… yikes

    #451 I can’t understand the need to talk during sex. Your thought processes should be so overwhelmed that only growls and guttural noises should be uttered (if your doing it right).

    Just sayin’!

    456=455

  429. capt says:

    when i was married, i never said “oh god” i said my HUSBAND’s name

    See that works both way for me, my name is Kirk which means church so . . . Same same!

    :lol:

    AGAIN if your not screaming for all it’s worth – your partner aint doing it right. No lover of mine can just say my name – they have SCREAM it or I keep trying!

    Actually no, but the electric cooperative we belong to is already getting about 20% of their power from wind. A new business that refurbishes used windmills from California [like the ones along I-10 w. of Palm Springs by Banning] has started up in our town and a few farmers are putting up these reconditioned towers. We’re looking into it for our own farm.

  451. Sarah in Santa Cruz says:

    Let me think about turn-ons … OK:
    Big hands, big sense of humor, and left-wing politics!

  452. yeah, cindy, whenever i hear ProducerChris talk about “manscaping’ i want to call in and tell the men not to listen to him!!! the only things i care about is hairline (especially the neck i hate when it’s not trimmed) and monobrow like you said

  453. sorry got distracted reading bad pickup lines
    looking for one to use on Stephanie

    maybe something Zap Brannigan might have said

  454. madduane, why? what do you hate abuot it

  455. capt – turn up the heat in your house before you disrobe

  456. capt says:

    Bernard Madoff has been ordered to jail after pleading guilty to an epic financial fraud scheme. Applause broke out in the courtroom after the judge’s announcement Thursday.

    The judge revoked bail after the financier entered 11 guilty pleas. The judge says the 70-year-old Madoff has the means to flee and an incentive to do so because of his age.

  466. 506 – shaf – excellent!

    or even a bad joke after good sex

  468. Amy outside of DC says:

    That’s right, Stephanie and Congress Critter! No amount of time or prayer will turn those embryos into babies. You gotta have a uterus, and Nadia Suleman’s the only one volunteering hers.

  469. capt it would also help it you removed the Russian cod piece

    #525 In my youth, I though the “missionary position” was on your knees and in prayer.

    I had a hairless lover once (she going through chemo)

    You should never close the door to future possibilities.

    It was very THX-1138 but kind cool just the same.

    My ex’s also like to shave themselves – which is all cool if they don’t have a case of the stubles!

  483. any shaving has stubles. that is why it sucks. i like natural.

  484. Dake Hussein says:

    Nothing shaven can make a grown woman look like a little girl (major EW)

    However, as one who has munched carpet as well as bare floors – I can say without reservations I enjoy oral sex without the curly floss (if you know what I mean)

    I have never asked nor instructed any lover of mine what she needed to do with her body. My ex’s shaved because they liked it – not by any request.

    If you have lovers demanding you do anything (shave or otherwise) – you’re with the wrong ones (IMO)

  498. madduane ever seen the cover, center and back art for Alan Parson’s I Robot

    I reminded of the album by both movies

    it were really looking for someone prepubescent… creepy

  501. demdame says:

    As a teen, I had a copy of True Confessions that featured an ad with a full-page photo of a hairy chest. The ad was targeted to men and promoted a product to get more manly. Then, Burt Reynolds Cosmo photo came out. I was in hairy chest heaven.

    My first hubby had almost no chest hair. That marriage didn’t last. Current hubby has a great amount of chest hair. Thirty years later, we’re still together. Not saying there’s a correlation, but……
