LiveBlog for Monday, July 6, 2009
• The Stephanie Miller Show returns to KPHX-AM 1480 in Phoenix today!
• “The Rude Pundit,” Lee Papa, calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about his blog at RudePundit.Blogspot.com, about Palin’s resignation, and how George Washington would kick the teabaggers’ asses.
• The FBI, in a rare response to rampant rumors on the internet, said it is not investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on public corruption charges. The speculation began almost immediately after Palin’s unexpected announcement on Friday that she would step down as Alaska’s chief executive with 18 months left in her term.
• Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev end a seven-year hiatus in U.S.-Russian summitry with a meeting in Moscow today, each declaring his determination to further cut nuclear arsenals and repair a badly damaged relationship.
• Listings for tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial service at Los Angeles’ Staples Center tomorrow appeared on eBay and Craigslist as soon as winners were notified yesterday. One listing asked for a “Buy It Now” price of $20,000.
• Vice President Biden said the Obama administration “misread how bad the economy was” but stands by its stimulus package and believes the plan will create more jobs as the pace of its spending picks up. Biden said the nation’s 9.5 percent unemployment rate is “much too high.”

Gooood morning all!
Yay, Mama’s back!!! Yay, Jim’s back!!! Yay, ProducerChris is back!!!
Not that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy Hal, because I did.
And what a whopper of a story to come back to. Team Failin cuts and runs. They’d rather quit than fight. Couldn’t stand the heat so they got out of the kitchen.
And many kudos to ProducerChris for keeping the litterbox clean for us. * waves westward *
Good morning, y’alls! And a triumphant “Welcome Home!” to Mama and the Mooks. Hope you had an awesome week off. Hal did a wonderful job of filling in. Glad to hear you’re trusting him with the keys during your Labor Day break as well.
I’ll be listening to the show via Stephcast all week. It’s another round of training and certification exam for my new work project.
In passing, I’ll say that Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps giving. Just when you think the broadcast media had turned its eye solely to Michael Jackson’s passing, Caribou Barbie opens her yapper (BTW, did she sound like she was on speed?) and brings attention back to a dysfunctional GOP. You Go, Girl!
Catch you later!
FAUX NEWS PLAIGIARIZES “WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT” AGAIN !!!
i must have missed this talking point at the time in the shadow of one more newsworthy at the time. the turks always deliver good coverage, and this talking point is not spared. ample opportunity is given for the listener to compare the content of the material with the associated headline, the implied thesis of the content. — and notice how casually this innovative new version of rhetoric hovers in the slipstream of judge doom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWVGmyyhx8g&feature=channel
oh, thank gawd! Mama and her mookages are back!
Welcome Home, Mama!
I am looking forward to hearing about what Mama did.
Did she go to Argentina?
and I’m looking forward to hearing her take on MJ, SP and randy gov.Sanford.
AND, I bet Jim has something delicious for us!
Yay! Jim, Chris and Mama are back!!
Thanks for the twitters posted here, Chris, radioguy.
Helped me get through the week.
Poor Steve McNair.
RIP
Thank God it’s Monday – and Momma and the Mooks are back! My week-long exile has ended!
Happy Birthday today, “Yo” to Sly Stallone (63), Deliverance’s own Ned Beatty (72), Angel and Minister “Don’t You Know” Della Reese (78) and Absolutely Fabulous Jennifer Saunders – Happy 51st, Sweetie Darling!
thank you, trojanrabbit, for alerting me to the palin cut-and-run. just now watched the speech, and here are some favorite highlights from the clip listed below:
1: manson is vindicated yet again; “the music speaks to you every
day”. in this case, we can see by the placard showing at 14 seconds
in, that sarah likes BOTH kinds of music.
2: choice of analogy: “sports” (???) just pandering to morons? …
or a real live moron pandering to morons?
3: talking point plaigiarism continues… 55 seconds in:
“full court press” – the term comes from the bill press show.
4: @ 2:45, sarah advocates being too wired to blink, followed by the
sound of a nearby dolphin sounding much more grounded.
5: three and a half minutes in… “the world needs more trigs”. simply
amazing on every level, that sarah would enshrine and solidify the
public memory that one campaign prop was treated as expendable.
6: 4:40 into the clip: “i’m doing what’s best for alaska, and i have
explained why”. okay, one out of two correct statements. you have
to be happy with sarah’s increase by one, from the average.
7: five and a half minutes in, “we’ll be protectors of individual
rights, who also have enuff common sense to aknollij when
conditions have drastically changed…”
(at least that’s one lesson absorbed)
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtVhe2XXHjQ )
8: @ 6:25, an ominous foreshadowing:
“we are not retreating; we are advancing in another direction.”
macarthur can perhaps be forgiven for copying vasily smyslov’s
declaration that defense is offense at close quarters, because
both worked with highly dialectic dynamics, but will the slaters
of the talking points be forgiven by the writers of “who framed
roger rabbit”. – sometimes you’re the speedbump on the information
dead end road; sometimes you’re the dip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pFkKBs-xPc
Welcome back, momma and mooks. Good morning live blogospherians. I need a good laugh after a tough weekend. Instead of seeing fireworks on the 4th, we went to the vet and made the toughest decision of all about our dog.
We are not retreating; we are advancing in another direction
Don’t think you can outclever us French folk with your silly knees-bent running-about advancing behavior.
So sorry LeftCenter
LeftCenter, I am so sorry you about your doggy.
#12, 13 Thanks. Let’s get the laugh machine rolling. I need it.
hello, Steph’s back and already mispronouncing things…
Gotta love that girl
and she’s out of touch, don’t know what has been happening
in the news
Get her a glass of wine
Why do I dislike Sarah Palin?
She has no integrity. She’d sell out the country.
She is not smart, but she knows where her bread
is buttered. To make Sarah Palin rich she’d let a
bunch of Rethug scumbags do whatever they want.
To the environment, the treasury, the economy.
She’s pro-war, pro-Empire, pro-Bil Oil, anti-Environment,
pro-Bush, anti-Abortion, anti-Civil Rights, pro-Police State,
She can’t admit she doesn’t read, knows nothing of foreign
policy, she blames others for her shortcomings. She’s
perfect for the Rethugs. she’s corrupt and a liar. she
talks out of both sides of her mouth. A pox on her.
16: yes, but at least sarah gave a plug to the bill press show.
That’s our Steph.
For some reason (must be the sadistic side of me) I decided I needed to try to make some sense out of all the spindles of DVDs/CDs I have cluttering the place. There’s 8 DVDs of the SMS going back to 2005.
Yikes.
Not much done over the holiday (brakes are making the telltale squeals on the Honda so I don’t want to drive unless I really have to until I can get it in for repair on Wed). Had neighbors over for a cookout on Saturday, went to finish off the leftovers on Sunday – fired up the grill and it was out of gas, how’s that for stretching it?
anesthesia screamed “inveign!”
Steph, it’s not LIKE anesthesia. It IS anesthesia.
10 thank you for the deconstruction
Palin may not be under investigation
but she should be
instant STFU? lolololololol
20: it IS anesthesia? not feeling you, bro.
That was Palin’s only mistake. She should have made her announcement at a turkey slaughtering pen.
the world needs more trigs… in case one goes missing.
Now announcing – Her Royal Majesty, Queen Anne of Anesthesia.
thanks Jim I always love yr Elmer Fudd Palin children role call
Dreadful Sara ain’t qualified to be dog killer
Love Faux News spin: slimy attempt to make this all ’smart’
johnny cash singing “mister roboto”… it’s not EXACTLY country… it’s about country.
Higher calling? Is she going into a convent?
25: we’re hathaway there.
28: get thee to a gunnery.
gotta run out for a bit
see you before Sparta
The amount of butthurt coming from the Palin apologists is astounding.
That’s the way to do it, Jim!
Congratulations, Jim!
Congratulations to Jim!!!
Many happy years.
whut?!? Breaking NEWS Jim Ward/Janiqua get hitched, snub Steph and Chris
no more drunk dialing at 3 am Steph!
Wow Jim! Congrats buddy! So happy for you! All the best.
It must be July. They’re selling tutorial stuff again.
Congrats, Jim!
Robert MacNamara (sp?) dead.
Clinton took the blows all right!
Hey everyone
I see it is quiet in here tonight
hiya. bloggoes!
madduane..howdy fellow satan worshiper
45 — I may not worship satan, but I’d love to see a movie where Malcolm McDowell plays him!
I am pretty much still going through Republican Rehab still
47
-still
I am tired…worked 3rd last night
everyone must be pestering Chris on Twitter
I am talking to myself as usual
Could it actually somehow be good strategy to quit as governor & make running for prez a full time job? I mean, the Republicans are in such bad shape…
I found this exchange on the cruise boards I visit regularly and had to share.
A:Our Miss South Carolina explained the problem Americans have with geography. Maps are not made in the US.
B:Look on the bright side.. all is not lost in SC.. your guv can find Argentina…. *L*
A:Unfortunately, he found his way back.
51 — fueling the sparta fire.
Palin’s higher calling? She’s moving to an ashram in Nepal!
Is a cruise board more like a long board or a short board?
Sarah Palin? The world’s most devastating case of mentalpause
morning all! I don’t get to visit all my blog buddies as much as I’d like… but I had to share a great story…
As the official militant left wing drunken Irish family of the Stephanie Miller Show, I’m always on the look out for other steph-heads… well, as it happens, in my very last class before graduation, my new professor dropped a couple “Queen is not amused” and “heat of 1000 white hot suns” references, and thus, I emailed him to ask if he also suffered from Steph-itis… and as luck would have it… my new professor is the official ameture palentologist / music critic / wine snob (if I got all that right) of the stephanie miller show!
Oh the awesome power that is steph!!!! Now even finding her place among college lectures… could the world be any more perfect????
When Palin was talking about others leaving for a “higher calling” I think she was referring to Obama’s leaving the Senate for the Presidential run. The problem is that he was leaving to do something, not just to quit!!
52–the Christian Right believes that Palin is their Obama so they think they can xerox his charisma by putting forth this tramp. I’m tired of her because she really offended me with her community organizing bashing.
46: notorious missed opportunity: long after malcolm mcdowell had done “clockwork orange”, and immediately after jim caveziel had wowed the world with his ability to take a hit for the team (”passion of the christ”), they starred together in a film, with malcolm macdowell having free access to golf clubs. the level of temptation must have been extraordinary.
52
It’s in keeping with her career so far. Took 6 colleges to get one journalism degree. I think she quit as “mayor” of Wasilla. Now she quits as Governator.
You don’t want her getting the 3AM phone call. Willow might be pregnant.
A pick is an offensive move. A full court press is a defensive tactic.
I agree with buddy.
56: a gay shortboard on oprah’s couch
63: a pick isnt really that offensive as long as you stop before your head caves in.
I hope my therapist gives me good news today. Republicans are trying to take over my mind again.
56 — best brief description ever.
G’morning all. Bailin’ Palin is her new name.
I’m not gonna feel vindictive at her. I think her party is using her as much as she is trying to use the party.
‘Tis politics.
Team Steph takes the week off, and all heck breaks loose! R.I.P. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Karl Malden, and now ex-Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara from the movie FOG OF WAR. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Jim Ward!!! I hope Governor Sarah Palin enjoys her brief, and hypothetical, show on the Fox News Channel.
67 — They are insidious like that. I think it may involve some kind of Frances Farmer tactics.
70–You forgot AL FRANKEN!!!
70: such a genteel way of describing macnamara. – thank goodness he’ll be remembered by those words instead of the famous LIFE magazine photo of a girl running wildly down the road arms akimbo, with her entire back burning with napalm.
Jim and Janet sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G…..
That’s lovely. May you be blessed with happiness always which is what we all want for ourselves too.
73 — I know, huh? Good times.
72
and Poland!
good morning everyone.
it’s nice to finally have some good news comin’ down the internets, isn’t it?
Sanford a joke, Franken to be seated, Palin quitting…
76–What?..lol
77-At least you got it right..lol Have a good day all. I am going to bed. I have been up all night.
Hiya, Brian!
#62: “You don’t want her getting the 3AM phone call. Willow might be pregnant.”
yes, and I don’t think VP Sanford will be getting good service on his cellphone …
(though the service may be fine otherwise)
you know what’s cool? THE SUN CAME OUT!!! for a month here, it’s been clammy & rainy & in the sixties. Today I came to work and the sun was out & it actually felt weird.
Is Sanford next? I doubt it, just like South Carolina turning blue.
Good morning.
82
That’s 3 days in a row of sun. I don’t think I can take it.
Good morning, good morning, good morninga! I loved the Palin resignation collage! Hawaii, Amigas y Amigos.
South Carolina is turning blue? Or is that just Sanford’s balls?
I am not going to be that comforting with her running for prez.
Wow, great freudian slip Steph… Salin instead of Palin… well, her ship’s definately set sail at this point, wouldn’t cha say?
87–maybe his balls. I dunno.
85 — I think I might like to try, though.
Bad news — it’s supposet to rain tomorrow…
Aw, man, I missed the first hour of Palinpalooza.
goodnight all..going to bed.
#73—Fog of War is a great documentary. It will make you look at the Presidency in a whole new way and realize that these leaders we elect are frighteningly vulnerable to bad advice.
92 I just arrived myself and would have loved to be around for it…Ah Dear Leader is here
excuse me…Dear Reader
93 — enjoy your nap, Adam!
Hey, did everyone notice the NOrthern Exposure theme behind Jim/Sarah? I still love that show…
Congrats Jim and the new Mrs Ward
Wouldn’t you say that Palin’s lawyer warning to news media that she would sue them over the FBI investigation story pretty well assures us that there really is an FBI investigation story?
Pay no attention to that scandal behind the curtain!
Good morning Steph, Mooks, Mookette, and fellow bloggers! (waves westward)
Jim got married…oh there goes one of dreams that just died…oh I only kid…congratulations!
Double kitty! YES!
Some politicians actually finish their term apparently she sees it as only a lame duck option, WHAT ABOUT DOING YOUR JOB?!?!?!? What a complete maroon, what an ignoramus.
Prop kids.
Palin’s daughter is not a slut. She’s a teen who mistook sex for love. If that qualifies her to be a slut then I think most of the women in America could be called that.
Did somebody break the live blog? We’re missing some of our usual suspects and we’re way behind target for Sparta.
the other hockey skate to drop.. only Steph can say it! Man, I love this program.
here, here Spiffy! She’s not a slut… she’s a teen who was refused accurate and educational information about the possible risks of having sex too early… she’s in the same boat as half the young women in our country… she is a walking billboard for proper sex ed class in school!
CONGRATULATIONS JIM AND JANICE! Do we call her Mrs. Deity now? Guess she has to get up and fix you breakfast before work now.
#108
exactly right!
only in Wausilla
#105, I don’t think she’s a slut in reality – but in conservative ideology, she’s definitely a slut. A slut is a woman who has premarital sex, and (worse) enjoys it, and is dirty dirty girl who deserves what she gets.
So calling her a slut is not mocking her per se, but mocking the conservative ideology Palin’s hypocritically refusing to apply to her own kin (but a poor black girl in the same spot… that’s a different story).
Bull…She ran and was elected to serve a term and to give up in the middle just really speaks to her
Tank? As in Tank McNamara (witty comic strip about a Quarterback turned Sports Announcer)?
Really stupid names in Alaska . . .
I’m betting Levi cannot spell. that’s gonna be the hardest book to edit…
Oh, don’t get me wrong Peter… I still mock her as often as possible… just trying to be fair… at least for the moment!!
#115 I’m betting Levi can’t write.
108—I agree heartily.
112—I can see your point but as a mom of two girls myself I can see why Palin is getting angry at people picking on her family. Unfortunately someone in the Republicans should have told her the true cost of fame before she jumped on the McCain sinking ship.
#108: I thought she was walking billboard for abstinence?
115, not to worry, Levi will never put a word on paper. He’ll just talk to a ghost writer. That will be hard enough to figure out.
Do you think his book will be a pop-up? Or maybe one of those nifty children’s books with the sounds that match up to pictures in the text… everytime you see a Sarah Palin head, you press the corresponding button to hear word salad… LOL
Stupid commercial running on Fox News Channel—–> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSAri6cOJsc
121 — I think it will have lots of rad pics of Levi doing ollies on his half pipe.
ReTweeting is plagiarism!
#121
lmao DNID~!
#114: My lawyer-slash-personal-trainer says don’t make fun of Tank!
you dont go to elementary school with the napalm shielding you want. – you go screaming down the road with the skin you have left.
127: (excerpt from “rummy for dummies”)
123.. see… continues to work with the picture / sound thing… there could be one of Levi on his Skateboard, and the matching sound would be Levi doing his best “RAD!”
we will brew no premier before its time
i’ll bet that garland really does repel vampires. does rummy know about that voice?
Do you think they will bury Michael Jackson at Forest Lawn?
http://www.forestlawn.com/About-Forest-Lawn/Locations-and-Directions-Hollywood-Hills.asp
That’s where I want to be laid to rest. I got a term life insuance policy for myself so my kids can afford to put me there if I go before my time.
I will instruct them to place me far away from all the Jacko foot traffic!
The fact that Palin was a woman, a RW-nutjob, the mother-of-5 and once attended a beauty pageant, these were are part and parcel of Grampy nominating her for his VP. In a way the fact that she was governor of a state was sorta beside the point!
“charlie’s angels” was just purely and completely insulting. – reminds me of one of manson’s spontaneous quotes (thoe he was referring to some acolytes): “i’ve f*cked girls who make those look like boys”.
I keep wondering what base Gov. Sanford got to with the other other women.
Around here our problems beavers hang out down at the beauty shop.
“this is supposed to be a happy occasion; let’s not bicker and argue about ooo embezzled from ooo”.
134—-I thought Charlie’s Angels was a terrible insult to ladies as well. Three lovely women are controlled by some guy we never see. And did any of those characters ever have boyfriends or friends outside of work or any other kind of live apart from being Charlie’s slaves?
I never got it.
135 — republican base?
135—is that a joke? If it is it’s funny.
135: probably just a mild solution of baking soda.
oh, oh, oh… Steph’s use of my favorite word “skank biscuit”, reminded me to share my other bakery-related insult “Scunt Muffin”… and thus, how wonderfully suprised was I to hear the new “puss-cake” in Gran Torino this weekend… how often can you think of three bakery related insults!!!
#140 I was hoping it was.
I bet there was some big scandal about to erupt that made Palin decide to resign. Better than being impeached.
Okay…this tinnitus ad is really annoying.
138: exactly. – a very exploitive premise, and then that they cast such MEDIOCRE eye-candy makes it two insults in one.
Morning all!
I have to say I never watched a single episode of “Charlie’s Angels.” However, I do have to admit I looked at the pictures.
142: well, i do sometimes get a bit ruff with my inflatable pillsbury doughboy.
145… imagine how annoying it is if you (like myself) already suffer from ringing in the ears from other reasons… I actually yelled at the radio the first time it came on… now it’s just a race to the volume control
#141 So the acid-tongued Sanford was going doing to Argentina to get in touch with his base? Is that what you’re saying?
#145 I can only imagine.
#129: On the last page, as the lights go off all over the house, “G’night Trig!” “G’night Track!” “G’night Willow!” … “Hello Levi.”
#135: I guess those women weren’t “soulmates”.
Farrah was living in sin with Ryan O’Neal. DUH!!!
G’morning skyhawk. How is the sky?
#154 And didn’t she also have a child out of wedlock?
154—It’s Hollywood. All of America knows the rules are different there.
I want a bumper sticker that says “Palin 2012-2014 and 1/2″
This pundit sounds very scrambly and breathless.
157 — not God’s laws as interpreted by the Reverend Fred Phelps!
“Lipstick on a Dipstick”
check out the book cover for her new book!
http://blatherwatch.blogs.com/.a/6a00d8341bf6cb53ef011571b4e2d2970b-pi
Oh please. They got all turned on by the money she brought in during the Letterman issue so they are going to use her for that. She is a willing player in the talking points game so she won’t need any training.
Look for Palin, Prejean, and Bachmann in “Rush’s Angels” – scoring Oxy and preachin’ abstinance to the world!
My other thought is that she was asked to step down and resign or else something is going to be revealed….
155 – Gray. We’re getting some rain for the rest of the week. Which is great since we need cooling off in north Florida.
Squeezy honeymooning? The mind boggles.
OMG! Palin/Harris 2012!!! hahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!
Isn’t Mr. Kristal the one that insisted McCain use her?
164 – I agree.
162—I agree. I think she left for more money elsewhere and to hover over the kids.
#168 Yes,he is.
Who the heck ever listens to Bill Krystol? What an idiot.
Same with Krauthammer.
Readin is Fundamental Sarah, booyah—–> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07kO9TtHYzQ
http://img.wonkette.com/politics/upload/2006/07/Krauthammer.jpg
…or maybe Palin’s going to join a reality show with Sanford, Ensign, et al. Could call it “Intercourse – Who Can Have It and How To Hide It” or “STFU If You’ve Cheated/Embezzeled”
Well, I’ve got to leave for work. See you all tomorrow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caGjG_9nFwY&feature=related
174. Too Good! Thanks!
172: the track record of saint william d’notre dame is indeed a thing of wonder. maher pegs it @ 3 minutes into this clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcJohfS4vTQ
Congrats JIM!!! Very cool….
What’s a crossover vehicle? I heard on the TV (and everything on the TV is true) that my car is a crossover vehicle. What is that?
“living in phoenix is a drag” – actual danny bonaduce biography chapter
172, 179
I like the moniker William the Bloody better.
Doesn’t Al have to work with Crazy Michele B.?
#138: I’ve also never watched “Charlie’s Angels” but the way you describe it makes it sound like a subtle feminist statement that got smuggled into primetime.
“Mrs. Deity”! – stealing from the liveblog again.
Wonderful news! Good luck to Jim and Janice.
181
Not car-ry enough to be a car, and not SUV-ey enough (a hulking Suburban type thingy) to be an SUV.
#181
a car that likes to wear women’s clothing?
181: crossover vehicle: you can use it for both bowling AND baseball, or both archery AND tennis, or whatever combo you prefer, sort of like a P.F. Flyer blended with a chuck taylor.
185—oh no. It was not a feminist statement at all. It was pure TV exec T&A in the opinion of many feminists of the day.
She’s not gone. Her head will continue to rear over us, as along as the media doesn’t bother to cover real news.
183: many people do prefer that moniker, but maher is too stubbornly modest to accept.
#190 – agree. It was about their bodies, not their deeds.
187, 188—I will accept both as true answers. I am dreaming of painting this old, used crossover vehicle metallic turquoise some day.
Wouldn’t that be pretty?
Sarah Palin Was Voted Out of Office!
She told us herself that she took a polled her kids–and by a 5-to-0 vote (including the baby, I’m guessing), they told her to quit. And in her own words, quitting was “doing what’s best for Alaska!”
Either that or she got knocked up again.
since the world’s funniest palin (even by cleese’s admission) seems determined to blend delusions of adequacy with delusions of innocence, perhaps in the interest of efficiency, psychiatrists will agree upon the new efficient hybrid label: delusions of innoquency.
193—that’s why the show was boring as hell to people who like good writing with plots and language and stuff but the men liked to wantch it. It was the precursor of “Baywatch” except on Baywatch they had men and women to gawk at.
Bill Krystol needs a swift kick in the raisins..
Just sayin’
Does anyone remember Sarah Palin mocking Hillary Clinton for complaining about media coverage?
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Before_they_loved_Hillary.html
185/190: of course, they did have to cancel the episode wherein they shot gerald ford, in order to avoid a full-blown copyright infringement lawsuit.
Why is is always the x-rated stuff that ends up in the wrong places??? = /
quote from that piece:
“She [Palin] said she felt kind of bad she couldn’t support a woman, but she didn’t like Clinton’s “whining,” Newsweek reports.
She apparently said that at a forum last year.
“She does herself a disservice to even mention it really. You’ve got to plow through that. You’ve got to know what you’re getting into.”
She says “any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism…I think, man, that doesn’t do us any good, women in politics, women in general, wanting to progress this country.”
194: especially if you wear purple, and a big red hat, but until then…
Jiiiihaaad!
good Ward creation!
But Squeezy is still single right?
I took my Jim Ward poster off my wall this morning.
201: because most of us freakin’ DIG those classic reruns of beetle bailey. a simple matter of popular demand.
207: may i have it?
Their doing the wrist band thing so that people don’t scalp the tickets. Once you have the wrist band on, if people remove it or alter it in anyway (or it appears to have been altered) they are not allowed to get in the stadium.
206—Squeezy is single for a reason.
May I have another?
210: how ironic. tycho brahe had trouble getting into heaven for some reason.
209. Look for it on Ebay, baby!
MJ and Octomom sounds like a match made in heaven. Too bad they never met.
214: i’d better not. any dealings with ebaye may appear to entail nepotism. – i’ll just wait til the limited edition velvet lavorterhosen series becomes available.
ReTweeting is Plagiarism.
dont blame the caller; sarah IS hillary !
Hilary is smarter than Palin. And no I’m not a Hilary fan.
Bloggenmooksters, sparta is far away. Better get our asses in gear!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ttttttttttttttttttt
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Don’t make fun of the kid, man.
216. Hmm. Velvet lavorthosen would repel beer spills AND vomit! Bonza idea!
220
I can’t. I can’t find the clutch.
219: obviously, it depends which one.
i should have clarified.
i didnt mean hilary duff.
i didnt mean hillary clinton.
i meant hillary tarded.
this page ruined my SPartA.
psh.
TR, you’re bands are slipping?
Less than 30 minutes…nearly 75 posts to go…The pressure is on to Sparta!
224: okay, that’s what i get for trusting a guy who says he’s blind and wants to drive stick-shift.
you are bands are slipping?
meh
#206: Only if you have his private number – hey now!
#213: MJ/nose prosthesis joke?
227/230: without neil diamond, the monkees are indeed losing their edge.

Welcome back Stephamooks!
I’m so happy to be able to listen to the show live again. I was laid off for 3 months and my routine was totally disrupted. I’m now back to work (albeit with a 35% pay cut), and best of all, I can listen to the show on the way to work and at my desk over the Internet. This is much more fun for me than listening to the podcast.

Why did CNN give us a tour of Michael Jacksons bedroom? Rather odd of them.
285—calling that child “Blanket” shows that Jackson had a weird sense of humor and certainly didn’t take the child’s feelings into consideration.

no, scratch that. fireworks is illegal in MA snicker
Shaf slips in for Sparta – very 007 of you. Well-played.
So, please just die now so we can make money!
Congrats Shaf! I was busy. Missed sparta time.
Shaf – amazing! Another Sparta trophy for the case.

D-uoh! Misssed Sparta. Stupid staff meeting. Congrats Shaf!
I felt sorry for Sarah Palin the other day. I don’t like her style but all that media attention upset her. When she gave her retirement press stateements I didn’t understand much of anything she said.
She said some “mean spirited” reporter said something disgraceful about her son Trigg. Who did that?
yeah, let the skin-heads in but keep the gays out.
Sarah Palin is a media whore who is upset by media attention.
When I was in india, I saw men holding hands in the streets everywhere. lots of pdas. but obvs, none of it was gay.
Yo, ProducerChris — you got a cold? *cough*
Wow that was a fast three hours. See you all tomorrow.
Ooh, I missed that announcement. Congrats to Jim and Janice!
um, Buh Bye, Bloggoes!
Have fun all.
Waiting for the ‘cast
Congrats again Jim
Feel better ProducerChris
Glad to have you back, Mama
Have a great day all y’alls!
#319 I dedicate my Sparta to the newlyweds!
Our servicemembers had to really hide the fact that they were gay back in the 40’s and 50’s, by having code words, such as “Friends of Dorothy”.
313—I agree. I don’t want her to lead the country but I can understand her devotion to her family.

If that’s what it is — fine. I’m sorta willing to wait to see if another shoe drops. Timing is just plain bad, though.
