LiveBlog for Friday, April 3, 2009
Follow Producer Chris Lavoie on Twitter!! Get updates on Steph’s appearances on TV, upcoming guests on the show, and much more.
• Author and theologian Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners and author of “God’s Politics,” calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about working with President Obama on faith issues.
• Actor, author, and activist Mike Farrell calls in at 8:30am Pacific to talk about his new book, “Of Mule and Man,” and about President Obama’s Gitmo ruling.
• Leaders of the world’s largest economies agreed yesterday to a package worth more than $1 trillion to tackle the global economic crisis. President Obama called the deal a “turning point in our pursuit of global economic recovery.” The plan calls for reform of the international banking system and the injection of more than $1 trillion into the world financial system.
• The Senate passed a $3.53 trillion version of the federal budget for fiscal year 2010 late last night in a party-line vote, ending several weeks of acrimonious partisan debate. Earlier in the evening, the House passed its own version of the spending plan – a $3.55 trillion budget.
• Impeached former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was arrested in December on charges of conspiracy and fraud, was indicted yesterday on 16 felony counts by a federal grand jury. The 19-count indictment charges Blagojevich and some of his closest aides with a wide-ranging “scheme to deprive the people of Illinois of honest government.” Blagojevich maintains he is innocent.

NEW STEPHANIE MILLER WIDGET: TIME TRAVEL !!!
yes, it’s true. todays live blog is streaming to you live from the year 3009. jim ward’s apocryphal but true is still up and running, but the snarky sound bites about the continuing search for bin laden are laced with obscure references to chapters 7 and 8 of “1984″, an ancient satire on modern “wars on anxiety”. – the references to steph as a “baby boomer” refer to a time when a western alliance of relatively free enterprise political entities belatedly but decidedly trounced a theocracy that had murdered 15 million european humans. – the snarky tradition stems from the chronological roots of the stephanie miller show, “the cheney administration”, a twisted and cynical continuation of the casey administrations policies of “fiscal child abuse”. the primary identifying feature of the cheney administration is that there was another major assault on humanity by a theocracy. (on 2k1-9-11, jumbo jets were forced into large office complexes, with the intention of murdering about 50,000 humans.) amazingly, due to the technological constraints of that era, murdering just 50,000 laborers was considered a major breech of decorum, and it could earn one mandatory jail time.
Good morning all!
Who was that gorgeous lady sitting with Larry King last night?
Morning, Stephophiles.
Big gig tomorrow, should be fun. Hopefully I’ll remember to set the inputs on the computer properly and I’ll have a decent recording to share.
#2 I’ll need to catch it on the interwebs, I was wrapping a few things up before going to bed.
#1 Flombaye, you neglected to mention the robot renegade cop. But other than that, you summed things up nightly. For I too, have seen the future.
Good morning, free-thinkers and free-lovers! Happy Fridee! And a Happy Fridee as well to Team Steph. Looking forward to the guests today. Funny, we were mentioning Mike Farrell on the Live Blog a week ago. Coincidence much?
nightly = nicely
(I must learn to double proofread my first few posts of the day)

I guess one of the “like to have” things here would be an edit function.
Morning shaf, PeterW, flombaye
Today at the Fortress of Solitude, no one to bother me, not even the deer.
And BTW, the House and Senate passed their budget bills with ZERO REPUBLICAN VOTES. So, the GOP is making sure that the Dems own this recovery and hoping that it will fail in time for the 2010 mid-term election. Guess that when you have nothing constructive to offer, your only hope is that the opposition fails.
#7, apparently actually including the wars in the budget, rather than supplementals, caused those 19 Republicans who supported the budget last year to faint over the theft from future generations.
#8 Speaking of fainting, I wonder if the budget includes an appropriation for 100 or so fainting couches to be strategically placed around the Capital grounds (particularly where press conferences are being held).
Hi Paul and shaf and Peter,flombaye -
Please, Team Steph, fast haste with the emails telling of Steph on TV. Ya can’t watch her if ya don’t know she’s on, so the raitings bump does not have a chance to happen.
ratings bump
Here’s some priceless Daily Show…
Daily Show’s Stewart Brandishes EZ-Pass, Exhorts Limbaugh To ‘Get the F**k Out’ Of NYC

To me, Barack and Michelle in England is our answer to the Beatles landing here in 1964.
Back then, the headlines called their landing the British answer to the Revolutionary War.
I feel the biggest factor in President Obama’s acceptance on the world stage is his wiliness to listen as well as lead. Oh, what a wonderful change from the previous eight years of douche-baggery!
In Tinsel Talk…
A judge has rejected Madonna’s request to adopt a second child from Malawi because of a requirement that prospective parents live in the southern African nation for at least 18 months, another judge and a lawyer said Friday.

#14 amen, so gracious and smiling.
The big smile we’re seeing shows is resemblence to his brother in Kenya (to whom I send wishes for a full recovery).
13: indeed, the evidence keeps mounting that president winston o’boogie actually IS a beatle. on the infamous jay leno special olympics appearance, there was the admission of having a submarine…
Try not to respond to me flombaye. You’re generally not nice to me.

Hi Carol
It could be that the invitation came late, because I don’t remember Steph saying anything about being on Larry last night.
I should just set a Larry King Season Pass and be done with it.
The Real Deal:
Michelle in London visiting a girls’ school
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp=22887506�
#20 Yes, it was very moving. No fake smiles from Michelle (a la Pickles).
I saw France’s first Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy yesterday on TV saying she did not go to London because she didn’t want to upstage Michelle Obama. Oh, pleeeze!
Here they are all together today in Strasbourg.

Good morning Mama and the mooks.
And top of the morning to all the live bloggers!
Morning, Stephites. The First Lady is taking the world by storm, and I love it.
Hi Paul and shaf and Peter,flombaye -
Please, Team Steph, fast haste with the emails telling of Steph on TV. Ya can’t watch her if ya don’t know she’s on, so the raitings bump does not have a chance to happen.
———————————————————————
Unless I’m watching something else, I always check to see if Steph is on Larry King. Down Squeezy!
Liberal HS! yes! They are mesmerized!
Hi capt *runs for hug*
Hi bloggies!!! XOXO
Happy Fridee my lovelies
I so stoked!
Barack and Michelle are ROCKIN the free world!
I get goose bumps . . .
Good morning, capt.
And an “ka bong” back at ‘ya, Chris!
*hugs!*
It’s Miller Time!!!!!!
Howdy do, Laura and LHS!
enjoy the show!
B.J. is going be operating on the show today. Yippee!
Steph put on the wrong wig.
Give us Dirty Laundry!
Hi from the Most-Corrupt-Governors-Ever state
Laura Bush wouldn’t have put his arm around the Queen. Laura would have run the Queen over with her car.
Awww, Ruth…
The RWNJ’s are going to go ballistic!
You know Hannity was all up in the IPod for the Queen? Turns out it is what her people asked for – and Barack’s people asked for a picture of the queen – but a compliment and allow the Queen to be majestic!
Morning, capt
Damn, I was hoping to be another sidekick!
I like Willie Geist!
Steph burned her bowl of Carnation Instant Bitch.
When you’re rich, they call you “eccentric”. When you’re not, you’re just plain crazy!
And i like Morning Joe, Harold Ford ::::swooooooooooon:::
I want Glenn Beck to open his window and jump out.
Mornin’ Trojanrabbit!
I didn’t make it in very early so I missed chatting it up with all you early birds.
The show when Stephie’s dog died was teh saddest thing ever, I was crying at work. Ugh
FEMA concentration camps for all RWNJ’s – they really need to concentrate.
Glenn Beck used to be a comic? Does that mean we can replace him with Danny Bonaduce?
Stephanie, start speaking in tongues on Kurtz’s show. That’ll get you noticed!
The G-20 protesters? Some carried signs WELCOMING Barack!
Danny Bonaduce would be funnier than Glenn “cry baby neocon” Beck.
And that is just sad . . .
I know how Steph can get blockbuster ratings. She could call men for dates on the air. And if they don’t hang up on her, the date could take place on the air.
Steph-a-date!
McDonald’s should shut up. It’s probably healhier to eat of the floor of the McDragon’s bathroom than it is to eat at McDonald’s.
Here’s the sign in question (Swedish strip club):
http://www.thelocal.se/18606/20090401/
Maybe Mama should do a “twitter” date?
I almost just made a bad joke about twatting

I got it anyway!
lolololo
Here’s an interesting story…

)
No way, Glenn Beck is more like preacher Robert Tilton.
Leave her alooooooooooooooooone!
Another ratings bonanza would be for Steph to do a cooking segment. Millions of people would tune in to see Steph set the Mooks on fire or try to cook the food in the dishwasher or whatever.
If someone botched surgery on my ass, I might well cry too.
I think that’s covered under the “hammer falls on toe” clause of man-crying.
last time Steph was involved in a cooking segment she just whipped out her legs
#67,
The water boiling show? Mama making hard boiled eggs (funny on more than one level)
lolololo
Leave her alooooooooooooooooone!
———————————————————————
Your lucky she even does fart jokes for you bastards!!!!!!!
My pipe band played a local pub last night. It’s proprietor is a rabid right-wing Irish immigrant who is also both a blowhard and parasitically attaches himself to others’ fame. Reagan ate at his pub once, and he never fails to remind us of it.
Last night, he got extra creepy, demanding we stand up and sing God Bless America and recite the Pledge of Allegiance after our pipe band finished playing, and rambled on about how our flag was constantly under attack, and that crap.
The pipe band off in the corner of the pub mostly ignored him, but the good little Germans in the main area dutifully followed (or were shamed into doing so).
I looked at the Political Science professor in the band, leaned over, and said, “well, we ARE in a beer hall”…
69
Damn nice legs, too.
#67,
The water boiling show? Mama making hard boiled eggs (funny on more than one level)
lolololo
———————————————————————
Bacon the crispy way.
Cracking me right UP!
lolololo
I’m listening online, and your Podcast promo still has George Bush as our President! Mr. Voice Diety should overdub some Obama to update it!
“well, we ARE in a beer hall”…”
*shiver*
Welcome to God Talk with Stephanie “Cheesus” Miller.
#74 Mama could promote cheese, definitely a fan favorite! How ’bout bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks?
Jesus would be appalled by how his teachings have been perverted by history.
I like what this guy is saying about the poor.
Poor and ignorant… just the way the RWNJ would like to keep us.
#79
Eggs poached in box wine then wrapped in bacon – then deep fried?
good morning liveblog!
*waves maniacally*
*then slaps self awake*
#81 Agreed. If Jesus were here, now, he’d be branded as a communist, gay-loving son-of-a-gun.
How about we give the kids condoms? Urge them to consider carefully but if they decide they are really horny teenagers USE A RUBBER?
I’m on the left and I get it. That’s why I’m not religious.
Society’s obscenely rich and obscenely poor are sins we’ve visited on ourselves. He’s saying Step Up…this is a rallying cry I hear a lot around churches here.
Cheesuswas a liberal community activist – the GOP have probs with that.
We should give kids rubbers and force them to have sex and then force them to have gay abortions.
#90,
You’re sick – I LOVE IT!
Of course “gay abortion” is FABULOUS!
Jim Wallis is doing the work of the man-made Lord. What the true creator of all things would want us do in it’s name, no one knows.
Happy Friday everyone!
#81, 85
Jesus was a hippy community organizer.
Jesus was a total liberal. I also think he would have enjoyed a good fart joke now and again, especially if it were told by kids.
Hey I saw Steph on the TV box last night too!
Jesus STARTED the “pull on my finger” joke. It is divine.
90—we don’t have to force them to have sex. We force them to learn about it and talk about it.
Education about sex is terrifying.
#96
lmao capt!!!
I dunno if you need a license or not to be that funny in the morning.
96—so that’s who we can blame! Ah ha!
#90
hilarious!!!
#96 I always though God started the “pull my finger” joke, a la Monty Python’s “Hand of God”.
We’re all pro-life. It’s just that those us who’ve been labeled pro-choice favor condoms and other forms of birth control to keep people from having to make that choice. The so-called pro-lifers don’t want condoms, and want abortion to be illegal under all circumstances.
97- Kar, No, i think we should *force* them to have sex.
Actually, the Malawians favored Madonna’s attempt to adopt that little girl.
72—OK, that sounds like a weird gig.
hahaha, Jim sneezing
The last cold I had lasted almost a month. Don’t expect the president to shake his any time soon.
#s 103, 97
we could force them to simulate sex with a banana and a donut. that’d be traumatising.
lmao!!!
Madonna should pay for a school or hospital for the Malawians – save a few hundred kids.
Just a thought.
Brian, Ha, gross
Pickles would have been driving her car through the building trying to run over the girls.
Michelle Obama is just as great a public speaker as her hubby. I saw her speak in person.
Amen to the real parts of cities. I hate the “fake” parts of L.A. I much prefer the real parts even though they can be scary sometimes.
Michelle Obama is loved like Princess Di, yet the American media fails to see that.
#109
that’s a good idea, but it doesn’t seem to be working out for Oprah’s girl school…
Michelle makes me well up!
109 – I agree. While what she’s doing is admirable, why aren’t celebrities looking at the kids we have here to adopt?
OK, I gotta go. I may drop in later. Stuff to do, people to see.
#109
my fiancee informs me Madonna has purchased land in Malawi to build a school on.
Madonna should pay for a school or hospital for the Malawians – save a few hundred kids.
Just a thought.
———————————————————————
I agree with that absolutely. She’d get dumped on for that, too. But more kids would get an education and/or medicine.
“I hate the “fake” parts of L.A.”
Universal Studio Tours?
(jk)
#112 Amen to REAL people… I am again proud to have the first family represent me to the world.
#116, supposedly it’s a lot easier to adopt overseas.
#118!
I think that is a very good thing. Good for Madonna and the kids.
Some of our celebs could lift hundreds of lives and make themselves better celebs at the same time.
Bye Kar!
Hurry back ’cause we’ll all miss ya until we see ya again.
*high fives*
I am impressed with the Obamas first overseas visits. The rest of the world is watching and they LIKE US!!! they ACTUALLY LIKE US!!!
#109
my fiancee informs me Madonna has purchased land in Malawi to build a school on.
———————————————————————
Now, that you mention it I heard about that. The American media is going pummel her for it, because it will be Kabbalah and Christian. Jesus was a Kabbalist. People seem to forget that.
115: “well up”? well off while on viagra?
#125,
I am actually blown away – Barack and Michelle make me proud.
They simply rock!
When the president returns he will have more power domesticaly because he is successful in consolidating power across the globe.
This is all good!
Good morning everyone
I have a favor to ask of everyone
#129 Yes, Cindy?
#126
well, Kaballah ain’t so bad (maybe some of the more esoteric memorization is, but…) it’s acutally interesting, even uplifting, and resembles quantum mechanics’ and the Big Bang as far as a creation myth.
I’ll be setting my recorder at 10AM to 11AM on Sunday.
Oh no, people agreeing!
Libertarianism = anti-sociality.
Penn Jillette sounds like one of the libertarians who opposes medical treatment for unconscious accident victims, because they did not consent to the treatment. Loony.
#133 Yep. I’d guess that most of the population of Alaska would qualify as Libertarian. They only vote GOP since it’s the closest of the two major parties to their “philosophy”.
Shane-O Is THE MAN
LOL … great!
Hello everyone. Late start today. I just got done reading responses to comments I made on youtube about the obama deception documentary. Some people weren’t too happy with me. Have any of you seen it? It’s crazy. The dude tries to say that obama was molded for 30 years by the Wall St. cronies of the world to be their puppet. Well, I find it hard to believe that they started with him when he was a 17 year old junior in high school. Conspiracy theorists, they come up with some crazy shit.
I was watching C-Span yesterday, and the repugs were trying to vote on passage of their “Alternative” budget. They brought their cheering section, each time a rethug went up to speak and play the “think of the debt we leave our children and great-grandchildren” card, they got applause and cheers.
It was rather amusing to watch such a pathetic attempt.
Steph could write a book on sex mistakes.
Mornin’ live bloggers. I’ve got the exact quote I meant to type yesterday when discussing gay parents:
“Being gay and having a gay father definatly has its advantages. You don’t feel like you’re dissapointing your parents, since they beat you to the punch.”
Another vagina dentata story?
The OctoMom would ask John Holmes, “Are you in, yet?”
Betlova bought a bit of bitter beaver?
Nice beaver.
Thank you. I just had it defanged.
Could you imagine being a wild beaver and someon just starts to pet you. You’d be like, wtf
Hahah, defanged!
So I’m driving to work this morning listening to an NPR reporter interview a righty and he was talking about how the Obama economic approach (aka stimulus plan) was not the right way to go because it’s amassing large amounts of debt on our country/children. Do these people honestly believe that the Obama admin would just put tons of debt on the country’s shoulders without having a long term plan in place to fix it? Friggin’ unreal.
The octomom? You know, there was a guy who was having sex with her, and he fell in. He started looking around for his flashlight and he ran into someone else. He told that guy, if we can find my flashlight, I’ll use it and we’ll find our way out of here.
The other guy said, find our way out of here? If we find my damn car keys, we can drive right out!
Hey, Arnold, how about starring in Milius’ King Conan script?
#147, and yet none of these people complained when Bush ran up equally huge debts.
my doctor called at 6:30pm last night…. they further reviewed my CAT scan of several weeks ago and they think they found a “nodule” in my right lung
I have an appointment this afternoon …. and now have a round of a tons of tests
oh … just keep me in your toughts <-that’s what I am asking
#147 Conveniently, the GOPers forget how President Clinton took the Reagan/Bush deficits and magically transformed it (via REAL ECONOMIC GROWTH) into a budget surplus.
Review of the King Conan script: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=10000
That Carla Fiorina is considering running against Boxer. If Fiorina wants to embarrass herself, she’s more than welcome to do so.
153 — give Bush Sr. a little credit for that. He went against his party and raised taxes. He deserves credit for seeing what was going on and saying, well, I better fix the problem.
Does that tell you how screwed up Bush Jr. was? Not only did he destroy the house that Clinton built but he also destroyed the foundation his father laid!
#155 Bring it on (Fiorina v. Boxer). Carly can talk proudly how she all but ran a great technology company (HP) into the ground.
147- Jesse, I was listening to the same thing. He had not one concession
150 & 153. Thank you. Clinton was the bomb. There has been so much bickering within the last 8 years that I kinda feel Clinton has been forgotten. Have you guys read anything about the Medicare Plan B program that Bush/Cheney pushed through? I watched a show about it the other night. Unbelievable.
Hey, Arnold, how about starring in Milius’ King Conan script?
———————————————————————
It wouid be about freakin’ time. It was intended to be a trilogy.
Cindy, you’ll be in my prayers. <3
152
You’re definitely in my thoughts, Cindy.
for sure, Cindy… we’re with you…be optimistic.
#151 Cindy, you are definitely in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep us apprised of your situation.
#157 I read her book, “Tough Choices”. To hear her tell it, it was the board of directors that destroyed the company. She’s qualified to be a Republican, she’s an expert at deflecting blame for her mistakes.
151 – I’ll be praying for you.
158. I know, unbelievable. I know the righties are hard-core capitalists, which I am as well, but when you have an energy crisis, health care crisis and an education crisis, tax cuts alone are just not the answer. You gotta spend money to make money!
159 — I truly believe that Bill Clinton is likely to be the best President I’ll see in my lifetime. If Obama can get us through this financial mess and get us on the road to recovery, then he’ll take over first place.
Either way, I’ll be happy.
#151
that sounds scary.
hope you get that taken care of with no difficulties.
Amy — Carly Fiorina is a joke. She managed to get out of Lucent just before they got nailed for shady revenue accounting practices. And then she destroyed HP.
thank you all – much appreciated
I haven’t told my parents yet … don’t want mom to go all weepy over the radiation I received in utero.
LOL – as usual I cannot type “and now have a round of a tons of tests”
168. I completely agree and have found myself saying that many times in the past about Clinton, but I do, however, believe that Obama will surpass him. If he fixes energy, health care, education, ends Iraq, wins in Afghanistan, captures/kills Bin Laden & al zawarahi he’ll be, in my book, the greatest president this country has ever had.
Where was he in on the finally … because I didn’t see him
George Clooney was not on the show last night!
Jesse — just goes to show you how good Clinton was, huh? That laundry list of things that Obama has to do to be better? Hell, if you got half of that done, you’d be one hell of a President.
Good lord, I just had to chime in to share this horrid story with someone—man chokes on bait fish in front of children as they attend a field trip.
http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-choked-on-fish2-2009apr02,0,5570516.story
#151 I’m not much of a prayer, but I’ll be sending nodule shrinking thoughts your way.
Thank you Megan he and Juilianna weren’t there
#176
his last attempt at humor: epic fail.
the poor kids!
Did anyone see Obama’s town hall meeting in Strasbourg this morning? The man knows his stuff.
175. I know tony. Could you imagine if he did all that? People would practically view him as a prophet.
Interestingly, women react to Clooney the way they react to the smell of chocolate (ahhhhhh).
Jesse…if it actually happens, he will have done as much as FDR or Lincoln did and I’m not even kidding. He will go down as one of our best Presidents ever if he manages to pull that off.
Another fembot?
Who conceived that publicity stunt? eek! Where’s vince McMahon when Steph needs him?
The Republicans have class? Only if they’re students.

Who’s Angie Harmon?
183. He might do it man. They said when he passed the stimulus in about a month, it took Roosevelt over a year to do the same thing.
188 – She was on Law and Oder for a brief period as Jack McCoy’s asst. D.A.
TJ – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angie_Harmon
Breaking News:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning reported another large rise in unemployment. The official unemployment rate now sits at 8.5%, up from 8.1% last month and higher than at any time since November 1983. Job losses for March totaled 663,000. Since December 2007, when the recession began, 5.1 million jobs have been lost, with 3.3 million of those occurring in the last five months.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that “Newtie” will take the right wingers into the wild in 2012.
Newt… family values…. oh ah I just threw up a little bit
#187 Thanks for the list.
Gallant, Green, Knight, Pratt, Romano, and the doctor played by Omar Epps all died before the series ended. Not bad for 15 years.
Who’s Angie Harmon?
———————————————————————
She’s not a racist. But she is an assclown.
1. John Boehner Thinks the Democratic Budget is Going to “Imprison Our Kids and Grandkids”
Actually, Jim, Roosevelt had pulled us up to pre-Depression levels of every economic indicator by 1937 except unemployment (which he still cut in half from its peak). The stalling in 1937 simply delayed the further growth the New Deal plans would engender, not keep us in the Great Depression.
Angie Harmon…wasn’t she married to Jason Sehorn? For a while people were calling him Mrs. Angie Harmon.
Unfortunately 8.5% is not a shock. I’m not expecting a plateau until late Fall.

Oh, you know how Limpdick keeps on talking about “grabbing our ankles?”
It’s because he is so fat he can’t do it. And I think Limpdick has a dicky do problem. His gut sticks out more than his dicky do.

What can you a give a person who has everything?
Chris, the Queen apparently requested the iPod.
That’s because Bush’s Ipod would have the wiggles and billie ray cirus on it!!!!
Steph’s slot!!!
hahahahaha
2. THC Kills Brain Cancer Cells – Hope for Teddy Kennedy
The world would have exploded, because an iPod from Bush would have been loaded with Glen Campbell and George Jones.
IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS
204 – Yes and notice Sarozy giving the wife a butt pat.
Max found Steph’s slot.
#192, the U3 (the official unemployment) is such a bogus number.
The U6 is close to the real unemployment, and it’s 15.6%.
I think Chris may get a talking to …
Who wants to bet the so continues after break SANS Chris
the = that
#211 Republicans aren’t big on thought, they prefer you not to think and just memorize talking points.
If I were married to Sarkozy’s wife, I’d give her a whole lot more than a butt pat!
The Queen was asked what she wanted for a gift – She requested the IPod and Barack requested a picture of the Queen.
As if – Barack just thought up an IPod off the top of his head? Don’t be silly.
What’s absurd about the rantings from Hannity and BillO et al. is that the Queen REQUESTED the iPod!
Watch the end of this clip to see the report that about her request

Good morning, Star Shines. What have I missed?

Today I confronted a DA who is trying to prosecute protesters as terrorist
IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

Thinking and counting. That leaves George W. Bush out, completely.
I’ve notice how the M$M refer to G-20 economic plans as a “New World Order”. Is that supposed to be red meat for the GOP end of time base?
Good morning, Star Shines. What have I missed?

Steph and Chris were married by Rev. Wallis.
Is it time for Men on Film?
Didn’t the Queen break protocol first and touch Michelle?
It must be blistering Republican butts everywhere to see that Michelle is so incredibly popular.
You do realize that Queen Elizabeth had requested the i-pod from the Obamas, right?
#217 on that note I just saw a snippet of a Levi Johnston interview to be aired Monday on the cutting edge Tyra show…. They’ll (repugs) be trotting him out next as the average American along side Joe I’m not a plumber. Cheesus.
“Is it time for Men on Film?”
Or “Men without Hats” (you can dance if you want to)
does Tim in Madison have a direct line to Steph or what? seems he’s on 5x a week
4. Time to call Jeff Flake’s bluff…
Coming soon to an Iowa ballot near you. A Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. And the citizens are Swedan will be laughing at us.
I read somewhere that the Queen can do what she likes – protocol be damned!
It’s nice being Queen~!
I heard or read somewhere yesterday that the Queen requested the Ipod as a gift.
Oh, O’Lielly and Hannity…they just love to make crap up. Seriously, O’Lielly’s “Paris Business Review” and all that nonsense. I mean, come on, for God’s sake, even A-Rod came up with a better excuse.
The Queen ASKED for the IPod Jim – quit being a pip!
Chris… Because it came from President Obama!!!
#229 Since he knocked up his girlfriend and then broke up with her, he’s got more in common with the average American. Secretly he’s the biggest Obama fan out there, if McCain were president Levi would still be planning his summer wedding.
Chris … shuddd uppp
Seems like Jim just can break away from his tooleyness.
I want you to do this painful exercise for a moment. Imagine that McCain had won and he and Cindy had been at the G20. Some nightmare, huh? What would have been different?
Now, thank God again for Barack and Michelle.
If you’ve been Fox poisoned for more than four hours, see your shock therapist.
“Levi would still be planning his summer wedding.”
Or fighting overseas on active duty in the war with Russia over Georgia.
Hey, don’t forget. O’Reilly WON’T GO TO SPAIN.. Ooooo.

What a terrible threat, huh?
OH PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
These are thoughtful gifts … not stupid stuff that they are not going to use or want
Yes give a her an antique book … that will be read? no
It will be put on a shelf
Um, Chris, everyone outside the US has a multi-region DVD player.
It sucks to be in the only country that doesn’t have them.
“shock therapist”

#242 Aaaahhhhgggg… That was a scary thought. Images of grampy addressing everyone as ‘my freinds’.
Ivan…depends on if it was the McCain from 2000 or last year’s version. The McCain from 2000 was not that bad, which is why Karl Rove had to use all sorts of nasty and sick techniques to beat him.
“O’Reilly WON’T GO TO SPAIN”
As parties break out all over Spain – the Spanish won’t go to O’Reilly either!
lolololo
#242 Now imagine the news report: President McCain let the G20 summit in disharmony, as the other world leader felt his plan to reduce taxes didn’t address the global situation but that’s all McCain would discuss.
I’m a realist too Chris, but I try not to harsh people’s buzz.
5. Family Research Council’s broken record: hate crimes bill = ‘thought crimes’ law
Uh, Steph…check out today’s market numbers. Can’t get too giddy about the awful jobs figures.

Hahah, Jock Jams, Stephie is so dated.
“The McCain from 2000 was not that bad”
But but but – the other McCain (ver. 2008) was hiding inside the ver 2000.
AAARRRGGGHHH!
Thank all that is good in the world McCain didn’t pull off the election. THAT would’ve SUCKED
Hey, on another note, how do you get your picture in the profile? I can’t figure it out.
Jock Jams…aren’t they up to Jock Jams 34 or something?
“Jock Jams”
Okay – EW!
I think I might have had that condition once.
Give the Queen what she asked for. When you ask someone what they want for a present, and if it’s within reason, you buy that gift for the person.

And what a classy move to ask the Queen for a picture of her.
Folks on the liveblog are so friendly. If there was a way we could get that guy in Detroit his house back, that guy in Vermont his job back, and Cindy in Boston nodule free, we would.
7. The iPod wasn’t even the main gift
read all comments
#255 A lot of psychobabble with multiple links to their, the FRC’s, donation site. Hmmmm, sounds like fear and ignorance disguised as hate mongering…
#266,
I knew (as always) you’d be there!

Self-styled “realists” on marriage equality need to check the facts: Iowa’s (very sane and pro-liberty – http://pamshouseblend.com/diary/10218/the-iowa-supreme-court-decision ) constitution, unlike California’s (hodgepodge but also pro-liberty) constitution, cannot be done with a simple vote.

Okay Producer Chris here you go .. the list of what was on the iPod
8. What Does One Get a Queen?
Thanks for the grabatar info. Let’s see if it works and you will all then be subject to seeing my mug on your screen!

Sounds like an old married couple to me.
I supposed the Queen has access to amazon.uk
Chris: Zippit.. Shh.. shh..

Penn is tooltastic.
Let’s see Chris would I rather buy me an ipod or get one given to me by the President of the United States… hmmmm, buy… gift from President… I see your point there’s no difference.

Here comes the SPARTA
We need to keep an eye on Newt and his conversion to Catholicism. I think he has ulterior motives. It was his tweet in the middle of the night on March 24th that spurred on the controversy over Obama’s invitation to speak at Notre Dame.
http://twitter.com/newtgingrich/statuses/1380880380
Soon after, the Bishop over the Indiana Diocese said he would boycott the speech; and other high levels followed.
Now Newt is in the news talking of a third party uprising for the 2012 elections.
Oh crap. Lightning detector’s going off. Better check the weather radar.
These people need a weekend.
SHANE-O!
Woo Hoo! Have been missin ya!
LOL …. I’m 3 years and I’m an iPhone
Another annoyance from Chris today is his presumption of liberal superiority of California.
“If Californians passed an oppressive constitutional amendment, OF COURSE Iowa will.”
Would that be the Water Weasel, Jim?
Who cares what they gave the queen? As long as the queen is happy, it’s all good.
Besides, the queen is classy enough to not complain even if she didn’t like it.
And she can always regift it. Can you just see the queen regifting?
SPARTA
#284 – Cathlofascists?
SPARTA
#284 I’d LOVE to see Newt run as a 3rd party candidate.
It’s be Obama versus right-wing kooky Newt versus righter-wingier kookier whoever the RNC runs. Oh yeah, with the wingnut vote split, Obama wins all but six electoral votes.

And I see a nice juicy thunderstorm heading straight for the Fortress. BAH! A day’s worth of work probably gonna be wasted.
Hey Dog owners/lovers – did you know there’s a Lyme Disease vaccine for dogs? had to take mine to the vet and get a tick removed yesterday. We take our dogs to hiking trails all the time…so now I can worry less. I suppose there’s a human vaccine too.

Now, that the Iowa Supreme Court has made this ruling, there will be an attempt to change the Constituition.
It won’t matter how many married couples there are in Iowa by 2012. The ignorant are ignorant. An amendment would probably be adopted. That’s the reality of it, folks.

Capt…there are jobs but every single one has a lot of competition for it. Plus, a lot of “filler” jobs that people take when they lose their jobs are going away as well. Used to be if you lost a job, you’d head down to the mall and get another one but that ain’t happening as much now.
They are saying that the economy will start to turn towards the end of the year. If that’s the case, then there will likely be no pickup in jobs until early 2010.

Nearby lightning strokes can damage the very expensive receiver I’m using, plus the electrical noise a lightning stroke generates (think of an AM radio) spoils the measurements anyway.
This is the site we use to measure the noise a piece of electronic equipment generates, like if you brought a radio near a PC all the radio would pick up is noise.
Even something like a broken insulator on a power pole a couple of miles away will screw up our measurements.
Chris, when you talk about gifts for the Queen, the software is way more important than the hardware.
How do you know Obama didn’t record a special message on that iPod, something that he felt he needed to tell her but couldn’t say it in front of the right wing media machine?
“then there will likely be no pickup in jobs until early 2010.”
That’s what I was trying to say . . I really hope it is maybe sooner.
Thanks!
#336 – I know the feeling — I suck at keeping up on the social sites… that’s why Twitter IS WAY OUT of the question for me…
Let’s be fair to McCain here. In a moment of senility he thought the country was still only 13 colonies. His meager alternative budget reflected that.
I would have posted that sooner, but I was busy.
Isn’t this IPod thing just a bogus Fox “scandal” they’ve once again been able to echo in the mainstream media?
Mostly likely Obama had no role in the decision= — it was agreed upon ahead of time between Whitehouse staff and the Queen’s staff.
I seriously doubt that any of this is a surprise to anyone.
shane-o actually I love twitter … I use it to keep up with news

Iowa is definately corn country.
Personally, I would love it if Obama made me a mix tape.

And I love Mike Farrell. In a shallow television way, of course.

Same here. President McCain would have given the Queen a record and some black & white photos.
#362 Thanks for the heads-up, Bob! I’ll set the DVR for Moyers’ show.
In Pakistan, people get accused of blasphemy in order to take their land.
While the accused person is in jail, the accuser and his family move on to the property.
I’ll guess that happened to many of those jailed in Guantanamo.

Mike – seems like a smart guy.
I was still living in Pakistan when the first of the Guantanamo prisoners were released.
It made almost NO news in America but some of the prisoners were interviewed on local Pakistan TV.
I remember one of the prisoners was an old man, so befuddled that he wasn’t even speaking coherently.
It really brings into question, the competency of those who took these guys prisoners in the first place.
Ron – you get links and you can scan over and read what interests you
#366 The same thing happened in Europe during the Holocaust. Your neighbor has a bigger house and nicer stuff? Report them to the Gestapo as Jews, they’ll get taken away and you can take over.

“It really brings into question, the competency of those who took these guys prisoners in the first place.”

“I hadn’t heard that but it’s no surprise.”
The rich Jews were coincidently the first to be sent to camps. The poor were to follow but the whole idea was to strip the Jews of their wealth and holdings. (gold teeth and eye glass frames were just a bonus)
Damn, but Boehner needs an ass whipping!
#394 Yup. One man’s loss of civil rights is another man’s monetary gain.
and we WOMEN are so emotional that we shouldn’t be allowed to votes
my gawd!
When the Boehner was a kid he threw his lincoln logs against the wall when they didn’t look right.
The Boehner, “What’s my motivation?”
Damn, but Boehner needs an ass whipping!

The Boehner needs a time out.
I think the case of binkies with GOP logos on them would be appropriate for Boehner and company. Send them to him to distribute amongst themselves.

No, scooter…Reggie Jackson will try to kill her!
The Boehner is a joke. He can’t even act. He’s pathetic, and I’ve heard that even republican staffers laugh at him behind his back.
I think Klobachar (sp) need to start billing MN for all the overtime and additional staffing her office requires since she’s the only MN senator right now … so they are all going to her
If Tim Pawlenty wants to be president, he’ll sign the certificate and end this nonsense. Bending over the for the lunatic Newt Gingrich wing of his party won’t get him anywhere.
mmmmmmm pudding!
“I’ve heard that even republican staffers laugh at him behind his back.”
You mean the staffers who keep buying him bronzer and telling him he looks good in that shade of orange?
Sen. Boehner, now starring the 2009 remake of Soul Man!

Ah, it’s good to be the king!
On that note, See you all next week! Have a great weekend!
This is off today’s topic but SO important to our food:
US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that
will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875). There is an enormous rush to get
this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is
happening.
Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering
giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related
agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use specific
fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency
to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply”. This will
include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds
but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with
unexpected diseases in humans.
There is a video on the subject.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&feature=related
And another one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E
The name on this outrageous food plan is:
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).
THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR
MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTETIVES TODAY!
Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing.
The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss
of their position…. They only fear your voice and your vote.
The best thing to do is go to http://www.house.gov/writerep all you have to do is
put in your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in
touch with them. When you call their office someone will answer the phone,
just tell them (politely) that you are calling to express your views on HR 875.
Tell them your views, they’ll take your name and address and pass your
comments along to the congressperson.
