Goood morning all! Another great show by Hal yesterday!
I’m glad that ProducerChris has figured out to get the next day’s liveblog set up the night before, so he can get a nice long sleep in.
I think we’re all turning into mushrooms here in the NE, another wet, miserable day. I know with all the thunderboomers around home yesterday the cats spent the whole day shaking under the bed. Poor kitties
Isn’t it convienient that Bill-O the Clown is on vacation this week.
cats shaking under the bed? nice alibi. i’m trying that next time pazuzu comes to visit.
I remember when we took Buddy (the avatar cat) to the vet he was so scared the fur would be literally flying off of him.
next time, remember to remove buddy from the blender. it’s amazing what a cat can choose as a favorite toy.
Kinko, Kinko, the kid loving clown.
If the kids just love me back, I’ll never wear a frown.
If I decided to put Buddy in a blender, I’d really be in trouble. All those ashes might plug up the blender……
6: sorry to hear that. no buddy. and plus, people might think you were taking a ghoulish and extreme method to get your potassium.
Yeah, lost him a couple of years ago, but he lives on in the avatar.
looks like you got buddy photographed in the middle of a deep thott. (or at least a reasonably intense brainwave, which can be strenuous enuff for some cats) – for example, sophie used to sit up on the sofa, staring toward the back of the sofa, and seeming quite satisfied with the level of input. sophie was, as often as not, outsmarted by weeds.

He knew the wife had the camera, he had to perk his ears up and look cute.
There’s a larger version of the avatar pic on my StephSpace page.
Hi, Paul and flombaye! Good morning to the rest of our blogging pals!
This will be a ‘drive by’ for me this morning. I’ve got a lot to get done at the ol’ day job before I can take off for the Ind. Day holiday.
Have a great day!
Hi shaf, bye shaf. Enjoy the weekend.
Good morning, tr and flom.
Sorry you had to be out in the rain, Paul. What loud thunder out here in central mass! It is so lush and green around here.
And with it all, my three animals make no response to any possible danger. Mommy will take care of them. The dog? no resopnse to the thunder at all. The kitties? couldn’t be bothered.
Now, when there is a rabbit in the backyard, all three alarms are going!
Hi shaf. Happy Birthday, America!
It is amazing what a new leader can do – the AMA just changed their position on a public option for health insurance. Welcome aboard; now let’s see more real leadership.

US Airways Flight Diverted After Passanger Gets Naked in his Seat
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/01/us-airways-flight-diverte_n_224370.html
FTFA
Keith Wright, 50, of the Bronx in New York, was taken into custody after he disrobed while sitting in his seat in the back of Flight 705 on Tuesday evening, authorities said.
What is it with 50 year olds? They’re either dying before their time or getting nekkid in airline seats.
I’m really looking forward to hearing Mama’s take on all the big news this week.
God knows WHAT Mama will do when she turns 50…
Hullo
howya doin?
OK klass, your essay assignment: What I did on my
summer vacation, By Stephanie Miller
#17 Had to comment…
I don’t remember doing either (dying or gettin’ nekkid on a plane) for my 50th year. I wonder if our Voice Deity has experienced the exhilaration of naked flight?
Resuming silence…
I’m at the bar last nite, just gonna have one and run.
An old woman sits next to me and starts crying, says
she lost her husband of 41 years, she doesn’t want to
live any more she’s gonna kill herself… I ended up
talking to her til the bar closed, gave her a ride
home. Poor old thing. She calmed down after a couple
drinks and jollying her along for an hour or two.
She kept apologizing. She was just having a bad day
trying to grieve. Steph’ll prolly be doing the same
any day now, throwing herself at strange men in bars,
crying and spilling drinks… oh wait, she’s prolly
already doing that…
Good morning, live blogospherians! I’m only going to be here for the first two hours, so somebody else should get a shot at Sparta today.
I’m leaving early so I can use the hour to fall in love with my wife again.
It’s Hal Sparks time!
It’s Hal Sparks o’clock, which I like to call my own personal happy hour.
What I Did On My Summer Vacation
by Stephanie Miller
We went to a resort where the Mooks and I got drunk and
Hearts and minds.
good morning all
IF I WANTED TO LIVE IN SEATTLE – I WOULD HAVE MOVED THERE!
I’m tired of the darkness, the rain, the cool the depressing
thunder ceased here about 1/2 hour ago
It’s supposed to warm up today and there’s some brightness penetrating the clouds here in the great midwest. Although we had to run the heat when we woke up this morning.
1. AP: New Dem health plan has public option, lower cost
Screw bipartisan support.
2. Lieberman Helped Kill Reform 15 Years Ago.
The first day of my vacation
I got drunk
Then I went downtown.
To look for a husband.
Then I hung out in front of the MSNBC studio.
The second day of my vacation.
I got drunk
Then I went downtown.
To look for a husband.
Then I hung out in front of the MSNBC studio.
…
3. Marine Life Series, DK GreenRoots: Responsible Shrimp Buying
29
I think it’s coming up Andover way.
Good thing I’m not in the Fortress of Solitude today.
Question: if your state is out of money and doesn’t have an approved budget, will the State Troopers still be out in force on the 4th? Maybe it’s more likely there’ll be even more tickets written – grassroots taxing…
4. Updated: Walter Is Being Deported
Morning Hal and bloggers!
5. State’s Soul Leaves Springfield, IL RIP (Updated #2: Thank You, more info on Budget Crisis)
6. Prop 8 On Trial: Sooner Than You Think
OPTION guy OPTION
and my Dr WANTS the public option he’s tired of fighting with insurance companies
oh look you can actually see when you look out the window! It’s not raining, hard, any more!
I’m sure Joe Lieberman hasn’t received a dime from the pharmaceutical or insurance industries. He’s against it as a matter of principle…or something.
7. FT. Worth Gay Bar Raid: Gay Panic Defense (Update x1)
The third day of my summer vacation
I got a job
keeping drunken women from hanging out
in front of the MSNBC studio
looking for husbands
8. DK GreenRoots: The Insanity of Bottled Water
9. Sen. Kay Hagan D-AHIP against breast cancer survivors. Lieberman D-AHIP against public plan (video).
44 Little Joey Blabberman
is a joke
you gotta love Jim’s Joey in love with McCain,
it was gross but hilarious
10. Honduras’ Coup Congress Cancels Five Basic Liberties
47 Oh Cindy Don’t Get Me Started On Bottled Water
I just want to bang these morons heads together.
The Bottle is made from petroleum
it goes in a landfill
the water is tap water
buy a water bottle
grow a brain
or just freaking die you stupid toole
11. Must read: FBI interrogation of Saddam Hussein released
Then Jim suggested we go to a different bar and get drunk
since the waitress no longer likes us at This bar
after what we done
so we made Chris drive
after Rebekah poured us into the hulking SUV
okay I drink loads of bottled water (I’m dieting right now and in the position where my Dr. said to me last May “loose weight or die.”
And my youngest son is drinking loads of bottled water now too. It’s convenient enough for him that he now will not even ask for soda
BUT 95% – 99% of our bottles when not being reused goes into the recycle box
we need to make Hal’s observation a tweet
When I was in New Zealand last year, they were looking into runing solar-powered trams as intra-city commuter transport.
I watch people at Costco loading up with case after
case of bottled water and it just makes me angry
I know, I gotta let things go. But it’s just so dumb.
I like to buy one bottle of iced tea and then I refill
it with filtered tap water and put some ice cubes in it
I’ve refilled the same glass bottle about 100 times in
the last month
It works great
Quote @HalSparks : If the auto industry were the computer industry we’d still be using 2400 baud modems.
I wasn’t calling you stupid Cindy
It’s the people at Costco buying 20 cases of bottled
water and I just KNOW they don’t even recycle the bottles
Detroit has some of the best quality tap water in the world
We export bottled water right out of the tap
I don’t understand these people.
The City of Ann Arbor has a policy of encouraging the use of
refillable bottles. Plastic is evil. Google the giant trash island
in the Pacific ocean. It kills the sea. We’re killing our planet.
We don’t have another one.
mark our problem with refilling water bottles from our filtered water is the people around here will NOT fill up the pitcher after they take what they want!
#21: Nudist on a plane made me think of Squeezy, now I hear he’s the same age as Jim Ward. Coincidence?
Momma Vacation Update
“and then I decided I better hire a new maid
cause Somebody gotta clean up all these dirty
wine glasses
Lord knows Chris ain’t gonna do it and Rebekah
says it’s not in her job description
Where’d I put my sunglasses? they might be
under the pile of wine boxes…”
60
you might hafta go upside their head w/ The Goon Hand…
The one that gets me is the styrene take-out containers used by the cafeteria at work. I brought my own once, but they won’t use it because it’s a different size (would distort portion size). Even McDonalds changed to paper containers.
Tim is Madison WI is ALWAYS there…
56 how about diesel buses powered by McDonald’s fryer grease?
Chicago does it.
Smell like french fries
I signed the guy I live with on my insurance as a Registered DOmestic Partner…not only do I pay the premiums, but I’m taxed on the value contributed by my company for his coverage. Married people get all the breaks.
Momma Vaca Update #42
And then Jim and Chris demanded I take them to Wally World
so I decided I better sober up…
#59: ” We’re killing our planet. We don’t have another one.” Ah, but we’re bombing the moon to see if it has water – it’s not like we don’t have an exit strategy.
62. Ah, here ae the shades, under Oliver! Well, time to call Jesus to clean up this place and then get down to the Liquor Barn for the Early Bird. Maybe I’ll pile the kids into to the SUV and cruise by MSNBC studio, then off to the Bark Park out by Guy Lafleur’s place.
67 I always thought a big part of the whole gay marriage
debate was really about insurance.
“Every time little Joey Lieberman says ‘America’
it sounds exactly like a c%&Ksucker swallowing”
with apologies to Ernie Hemmingway
not that there’s anything wrong with c%&Ksuckers…
Lieberman is a toole. A scum sucking littul toole.
THANK YOU HAL .. been saying the same thing
the EMPLOYERS (us) deserve the same health insurance as those we employ (congresspersons and senators)
Wow, the ticket broker sounds even worse today.
70 hee hee. Mebbe they got another painting of Guy LaFluer on
black velvet for sale at the gas station…
I’ve always been baffled by the sense of entitlement “public servants” have.
Now why do you think
Mark sneaked down the hill
Cuz’ he needed love
Love he couldn’t get from Jen.
Damn I’m bad…
74. the 3d one where the puck is coming right at you is awesome
“…and then I thought let’s drive by Keith Olbermans house
and see if he’s out in his yard… why not? Maybe he’ll
decide he wants to date me… stop for more wine first…”
77 it’s like it’s 3D…
76
And I’m bad because it should be snuk
Snuk? Snuck?
Hansel?
Hey, sometimes you just gotta disrobe on the airplane, ya know?
at least he ditint take a dump on the cart…
sneaked
snuck
I think it’s ‘snucked’
well the Hal Sparks quote has already been retweeted
slunk? slinked?
only I ditint get the Jen ref
unless it’s Aniston
83 cool! we’re going around the world
not another Joey Leiberman quote
I already got my quota
78. Oh drat, that’s right, Keith has that restraining order and the cops know my SUV (d’uh). Maybe I’ll do a drive-by Hal Sparks’ place while the show’s on.
76 is that a Mark Sanford goes to Argentina ref?
don’t cry for me Argentina
just impeach my stupid ass if I’m so lacking in integrity
I won’t even resign
and hang myself in a closet
well mark help … if you are on twitter retweet it
Guess I will head out to Neverland since the unemployment rate just jumped to 9.5%…. oh my….. I can hear those republicans now….
http://www.mjonlinememorial.com/
86 Cool! we can toilet paper his house while he’s at work
and leave empty wine boxes on his porch… Hal will never
figure out it was us… plus Oliver has to poop, we’ll let
him out in Hal’s front yard… we gotta stop for more wine first tho
Shari just remember that it’s 10:00 am here so you should be just fine!
84
Jenny is Mark Sanford’s wife. Jen fits better.
I just happened to be listening to Jack and Jill
well how about all the preservatives in our food now …. preservatives that in the 70s and 80s you could be tested for allergies too and NOW you can’t
autism must be related to toxins in our environment.
one key to figuring it out is the gigantic incidence
of autism in the children of pro football quarterbacks.
there are so few of them in the world and yet the percentage
of their offspring w/autism is huge. You’d think that
would make it easier to figure out what’s doing it… steroids?
90. …and then we can try to find Jim’s place even though he had it taken off google earth. Janiqua will talk if I drunk-dial her and pretend I’m from Argentina with information for her. But first, more wine…
7 schoolkids shot in Detroit tuesday night… long hot summer
(a) D’oh – there goes Kentucky. Is the show on in Kentucky?

I Asked My Friends In Congress to Name July: U.S. Christian Heritage Month
on the bottom he has a list of those Jesus has damned
that Jim! He’s such a card! How dare he try to hide.
call him up and tell his girlfriend she’s a whore.
my wine glass is empty… should I accelerate? Max you
can’t ride on the hood, get back in here…
OMG — you can possibly not be butch enough for God!
US Christian Heritage Month
don’t go pissing Jesus off even more than he already is.
The things done in His name are already way over the line.
“Yo dicks too short to f#%K with God” — me
You Go Hal, Corporations are killing the world.
Hazen S. Pingree, mayor of Detroit and Governor
of Michigan warned of the power of Corporations
way back in like 1900… and he was ezackly right.
Thom Hartmann does a lot of good stuff on this.
Personhood for Corps was the end of the USA.
My 50 year old sister is upstairs with a severe toothache right now. She works for a grocery chain as a floral designer. He union offers health insurance, but she still has 3 months to go before she is eligible for coverage. That’s because part-time employees have to wait a year for benefits and they’ve held her hours at 38 per week since the day they hired her.
So she’s trying to figure out if she can even afford to have her bad molar extracted, or if she just has to hope the pain goes away. Root canal is out of the question – she’s not even sure she can afford a $100 extraction, let alone a $1000 bill to save one tooth.
She hasn’t had a pap smear in years. Never had a mammogram. Has no idea what her cholesterol, etc. is – despite the fact that we have early heart disease due to high cholesterol in our family.
She just can’t afford it.
That’s the reality for 50 million people.
Max…MAX!

(fade to blackout)
Shari Belafonte… wrow!
Momma: “Hal, did you have Another Woman in her while I was gone?
Cause I can smell another woman was here…”
Hal: “of course not. Shari Belafonte wasn’t here. Honest!
why? what have you heard?”
104. So sorry to hear all of that. One suggestion- if you live near a university or dental school sometimes you can get treatment cheap by supervised students.
104 I know, we’ve got the best health care in the world… NOT
We have become a third world nation while we weren’t looking.
Thank you rethug bastards.
We are the world’s biggest debtor. We export raw materials in import
finished goods. That’s the definition of a third world country. Reagan
started it, front man for the evil Bush cabal. Bushy I and II finished
it. WHEN WILL THEY BE HELD TO ACCOUNT?
107 great suggestion! dental school!
Momma: “OK Hal, if you didn’t have Shari Belafonte in here
while I was gone, whose panties are these?”
twitter 3 minutes ago
radioguychris There are still decent people out there. The guy at the next table who spilled red wine on me last night picked up our check. Classy!
Yet another example of how the Bible has been reinterpreted through the ages.
Good morning, BlogginMooksters,
Sorry I’m late, it’s only half over..
104: reading about you sister breaks my heart. These bastards who want to ignore health care needs, and exploit employees by keeping them part time are the worst – if only her molar pain could be transferred to these sons of bitches, things would quickly change.
Ever notice how everyone who’s against universal health care HAS THEIRS?
And I have no doubt that some sorry assed Republican thug out there would have something to say to the effect that your sister is responsible for her own carried molar..
Don’t get me started.

Hi, yall! Hal is truly awesome, and almost as smart as HAL the computer LOL.
About that doctor that called in early: they worry about getting unlimited “Fee-for-service” which is the piecework way that Doctors can up their pay. Yes, our actual health care system is for-profit, and probably always will be–contrary to the right-wing’s fear campaign about “government takeover of healthcare”–however the best way to lower costs is to have a public option for insurance coverage. More on that at http://PNHP.org Doctors and hospitals are currently overburdoned by the paperwork for billing (I supposed it could be massively computerized and all the different exemptions removed to make it more efficient). I’d like to hear Hal’s take on Fee-for-service and hot it makes Medicare usage in McAllen, Texas TWICE as expensive as normal and what we can do about it: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/06/01/090601fa_fact_gawande
111: Stephanie didn’t offer to lick it up (spilled wine)?
mcnich – I really didn’t comment because this is too close to home. My 25 yo daughter doesn’t have insurance (studying to be a nurse) and she’s had tons of problem with her teeth these past 6 months — which she can’t afford and her grandparents and I have so that she will be able to complete her studies without being in pain.
14. The Games Sheriff Arpaio Continues to Play With Women’s Health
it’s so hard to tweet and pour more wine
and drive at the same time
let Oliver drive
he’s a good driver
use you’re peripheral vision Oliver… don’t drive angry!
hey caller dumbf#K
have a nice cup of STFU! your statistical sample of one, you
is insuffient. here, let me pour it for you
I saw a documentary called “Shouting Fire: Stories From the Edge of Free Speech” last night, which further infuriated me against the goddam right wingers..
(Actually, MOST news further inflames my feelings toward the Republicans and their right winger thugs..)
Caller is an example of an ignorant right winger. Hal is ripping his testes off – the guy has VA coverage.
What I want to know is if the health care reform bill takes care of 97% of the people. Who are the remaining 3%, why won’t they be covered, and what happens to them if they get sick.
My husband isn’t an American Citizen wtf about it. What about a stroke? He’s an irresponsible ass if he has a family and doesn’t have health insurance for them
Why would anybody steal a groundhog?
I can probably think of a couple of reasons… pervert.
124 – oh to finish that statement – He’s an irresponsible ass if he has a family and doesn’t have health insurance for them and CAN
Wow, that caller was amazingly stupid.
Two of my three daughters – all college grads — don’t have insurance. One can’t find a job, the other is contract labor. Contract labor gets hit the same as the part-time trap…you might be offered insurance coverage, but the premiums you have to pay exceed your rent, so guess what happens?
Caller was a prime example of the right winger “mentality” in action – if ignorance is bliss, these people are orgasmic.
#129 I don’t think the caller was ignorant. I think he is stupid.
Oh yeah..if you troll the RW blogs (as I do) this theme about the new health plan paying for coverage of illegals is a BIG deal. As it should be…and needs to be addressed in those info-mercials. Really, what is the deal?
Hey, if you don’t have insurance and/or have huge medical bills, send copies to your Senator and ask for suggestions.
caller rw toole… you’re a filthy little man
To paraphrase Jim:
That last conservative truck driver who does not want health insurance but still has it through the VA sounds like he has had a major operation already…and they left a sponge in his head.
Remember that the insurance companies could call themselves “non-profit” if they had a profit less than 20%!! Talk about some sweet legislation for a specific group of people, reminds me a little of the tax allowance for depletion of oil resources..
Caller is using a Rush Limbaugh “argument”, claiming volcanoes are emitting large amounts of carbon. Most of their emissions are sulfides, of course. Of the 1500 volcanoes on the planet, only a handful are active at a given time. And only a few of those are in major eruption, if at all.
Wait a minute – burning oil and coal is Amurican dammit!

Steph you can’t just sideswipe a mailbox and keep
going…
why not?
Why aren’t carbon offset credits exactly like the indugences the church sold in the bad old days?
The prime objective of the Republican Party has always been to sustain their GREED. The fear of such things as clean air, universal health care, clean energy, infrastructure maintenance, etc. always considers only a feared effect on PROFIT, often imagined, and almost always short termed.
Time for me to be heading out. I have to go get a haircut, and then head out and do some shopping.

Leifer! What a treat! Thanks Hal! Leifer, don’t hold back!
look Chris, the empty wine box makes a great launcher for these
bottle rockets I got… roll down the window…
Most of the homophobes I’ve seen are actually very fearful that THEY might be homosexual..
but you could be bisexual?
I think the illegals argument sucks bigtime: where does he think they go now?…they go gum up hospital emergency rooms where government has to pick up the cost for their “sickness care”. Our way they can be HEALTHY and continue to contribute even better to the economy and cost a lot less he will have to pay.
It’s pathetic when people cannot even defend their own interests because of Fox racism.
and these mail-boxes can be the in-ground silos for the launchers
oh Hal, you star on Gay As Folk and then forever after…

Imagine the sort of TURD who would deny emergency medical coverage to a person because he/she were an illegal.. What kind of miserable human being is that? Oh, yeh.. it’s a good portion of the goddam Republican Party.
Oh Stephie, you’re so fine..
I hope she’s living it up this week. She’s got some ‘splainin’ to do when she gets back.

LOL – Ivan
Sparta not looking good today kids
On the illegals – another prime example of Republican hypocrisy – the very people constantly bitching about the illegals are exploiting the hell out of them as a labor source they can underpay, and provide NO benefits to. All to the benefit of their bottom line! Oh, the almighty God of Republican Profit. Start locking up the employers hiring the illegals and you’ll find a sudden enlightenment about their humanity.
171 Cats and Dogs is a great movie. Mama and Dogs would be even better!

Poor old girl at the bar last nite crying over her departed
husband of 41 years, I hope she’s ok, she kept saying she
didn’t want to live. We talked her down, got her calm and
she seemed ok when I dropped her off at her house. She’s
got a dog that needs her and a son and some siblings still
around. My heart goes out to her but I can’t fix her life,
177. Feel your pain. Damp-Rid works inside the house and “30 Seconds” works for outdoor mold cleaning.
wow 41 years …
175 Oh yeah you’re so right
every rethug bastard employs illegal labor but cries about
illegals… they got maids, gardeners and a whole factory
full of them with no benefits no safe working conditions
and tell us we must give up all our rights as they appeal
to the most racist among us to scapegoat the problems
rethug bastards caused… it’s the Hitler Plan. Blame it
on somebody. This time it’s Mexicans etc. F#&King REthug bastards.
I hate them.
Seems ol’ Hal is forgetting there is an audience. Gettin off chatting with friends
180 it was really sad. I was sposed to have one and go home
ended up spending hours with her trying to console her and
calm her down. Poor woman was really distraught, having a
bad day grieving. I hope I did the right thing, there is only
so much you can do. I considered calling police or ems, but
she seemed ok by the time I gave her a ride to her house.
Zamfir is still alive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gheorghe_Zamfir
Here is a true story about Republican greed. A very good friend of mine, a multi-millionaire, was in the model airplane club I’m in. He was amazingly tight for someone with more money than he could possibly have spent. Here’s an example: his AMA number (model airplane organization, not medical) had two 4 digits in it. As a result, when he was buying sheets of rub on vinyl letters (we have to have our AMA number on our model airplane wings, to be covered by our AMA liability insurance), he would use up the 4s twice as fast as the other numbers. This cat, in a supreme example of Republicanism, wanted to get the AMA to change his number, so that it wouldn’t have multiples of any digits – all so he could save on his rub on letters (a package costs a few bucks).
This guy would squeeze a nickel until the Indian rode the buffalo. His stingy nature extended to his employees. He had an employee working at his storage business for over 20 years, who he continued to an hourly wage less than a dollar over the minimum by law..
And, in true Republican fashion, he was constantly rooting for another depression. Why? Because it wouldn’t hurt him, and it would allow him to buy up all sorts of hard resources (property, businesses, machinery, etc.) at fire sale prices.
A nice man, but stuck in his Republican GREED.
