• President Obama ended his first overseas trip in Turkey – a location he said he chose to send a clear message. He said yesterday that the United States and Turkey can send a powerful message of cooperation to the world through their friendship. He also clearly stated that the U.S. is “not at war with Islam.”

• Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced a 2010 Pentagon budget yesterday that reflects major changes in the “scope and significance” of Defense Department priorities.

A magnitude-4.9 aftershock has hit the central Italian region where rescuers are searching for survivors of the country’s deadliest earthquake in nearly three decades.

I thought everybody eventually crashed their barstools?

#341 Norto, I was told by my voice coach that there are several sites out there that you can register for voice work (voice123.com is one). Do you have a sixty second demo already prepared?

(Answers: 1. Michelle Bachmann, 2. Tim McVeigh, 3. Glenn Beck, 4. Osama bin Laden)

I want a Pushing Daisies reunion.

350 - Is that like prosecuting prostates?

Hey Chris, slip Mama some cocaine so we can all enjoy it! Morning all!

Let's play a word game. Read the quotes below and see if you can tell who said them.

1. "I want people ... armed and dangerous ... because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people -- we the people -- are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

2. "Taxes are a joke. Regardless of what a political candidate "promises," they will increase. More taxes are always the answer to government mismanagement. They mess up. We suffer. Taxes are reaching cataclysmic levels, with no slowdown in sight ... Is a Civil War Imminent? Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn't come to that. But it might."

3. "The most used phrase in my administration if I were to be President would be "What the hell you mean we're out of missiles?"

4. "In today's wars, there are no morals... We do not have to differentiate between military or civilian. As far as we are concerned, they are all targets.

Let me get this strait. The homeowner applying for a home equity loan paid 100,000 for his house and then after 5 years he applies for a home equity loan to pay off the rape of his credit cards (di-tech.com) is told his house is worth 170,000 and gets a loan for that amount. Then the investment companies buy this loan and the house is actually worth 110,000 and the borrower can't evan make payments on that. THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MONEY WENT1111

How about a Diagnosis Murder reunion?

"...prostacators!" :lol:

lololol

You're thin enough!

lolololo

Mckean's guest appearance as Perry White on Smallville was decent to.

J.J. Cale's version is better

This has really been a great week so far for guests.
Many thanks ProducerChris and Rebekah.

Norto, I would suggest having voice samples on your website. Maybe join linkedin.com for contacts. Here's an example you may want to consider - http://www.melaniehaynes.com

Still love the Michael McKean X-files episode. He switched bodies with Mulder. Funny stuff.

Cindy: You do have a point. Crappy losers.

McKean another SF fan yeah!

JIM!!! I'm looking for voice work. I'm unemployed and obviously desperate. Tips?

THANKS (mama and mooks) - GREAT Guest!

Norto - because ignoring them is dangerous .. .they aren't children ... they are angry people who have guns

Boy, made a few boo boos in that one. They're, not their, for one.

I bet it is a GAS to work with people like that (fast funny and quick wit)

The Republicans need to back off on the rhetoric and back away from Obama. I hear that some Republicans are not happy with Hannity, Limbaugh, and Bachmann all together.

Why don't be the parents and ignore the tantrums. Let the conservatives whine and cry. Given their name and nature, they don't like change. So let's just ignore them, change the world, they'll eventually adopt it as the norm and continue thinking their being conservative.

Fred Willard is a comedic genius, IMHO.

I can insult with my eyes - not a word necessary - universal language - dirty looks!

...And another thing I just thought of from Hannity....he and DICKHEAD Morris seemed to believe that we have "star wars" technology and could have shot down the N.Korean missile. Delusional much??

^----is really in quite a mood today

#327 They'll be in Columbus on 5/17. I already have tickets.

Only if Chris would spank da mama
