LiveBlog for Wednesday, July 8, 2009
• Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) calls in at 6:30am Pacific to talk about health care, Obama in Russia and at the G-8, and the possibility of a second stimulus package.
• Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) calls in at 7:30am Pacific to talk about health care reform, Obama in Russia and at the G-8, and the possibility of another stimulus package.
• Carol Leifer joins us in studio at 8:06am Pacific to promote her upcoming gigs, and to talk about her book, “When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win.”
• President Obama is embarking on three days of multinational talks at the G-8 summit in Rome on climate change, the global economy, and world hunger in the second and most policy-laden stop of his three-nation, weeklong trip.
• Al Franken became a senator yesterday, being sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden and drawing thunderous applause in the Senate chamber. Former Vice President Walter Mondale, a Minnesota native, accompanied Franken. Franken was introduced by fellow Minnesotan and Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
• It was not spectacular, extravagant, or bizarre. There were songs and tears but little dancing. Instead, Michael Jackson’s memorial was a somber, spiritual ceremony that reached back for the essence of the man. If there was a shocking moment, it came from Jackson’s daughter, Paris-Michael, who made the first public statement of her 11 years, dissolving into tears, and saying she loved her daddy very much.

Goood morning all!
Home today, will be taking the car to the garage in a few minutes for new brakes (I HOPE that fixes it), I’m doing four 10-hour shifts this week to make up the time, they’re very flexible at work for that stuff, especially since we aren’t very busy.
Back home. Just a few minutes ago there was plenty of blue sky. Not so any more. Bleh.
please forgive the limits of foresight. -even when john von neumann constructed the world’s first CRT output of simple addition equations at princeton’s institute for advanced study, and ran the demo for the small cluster of literally the most brilliant folks on earth, the consensus reaction was essentially IT’S CUTE, JOHN. TOO BAD THERE ARE NO PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. – indeed, the director of the patent office in 1899 famously wanted to shut it down since everything had already been invented, and as recently as 1944, the VP at IBM saw the possibility within his lifetime, of a world market for as many as FIVE of these… “computers”. – so please forgive my lack of foresight too. i avoided youtube for years, because i failed to imagine that it would be not just a killer app for leisure, but also the killer app for the news. (lawsuit queue forms to the right.) – i’ve only known a couple of months just how much profoundly good and sensationally bad and instructionally quirky stuff is out there. – and i realize that most things that are nacho-spewingly newlarious to me are morbidly oldfangled to many of you. – that being said, let us now enjoy some cute cat crap from somebody who is obviously a hardcore SMS liveblog fan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qit3ALTelOo
Good morning, everyone! Another day of training. So, again it’ll be “Wind in the hair, lead in the pencil, Steph on the iPod!” (okay, it’s a Dell Axim PDA. But, you get the reference.)
Yesterday was quite a day, news-wise. A touching memorial to MJ, our President looking, well, Presidential, and a awesome swearing-in for (say it with me) SENATOR AL FRANKEN!
For my link of the morning, I’ll reference last evening’s Rachael Maddow Show, where it took a Ph.D. to unravel Caribou Barbie’s logic that, in order to prove that she’s not a quitter, she quit her office of Governor of Alaska.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/
Props to Rachel for rockin’ the hip waders.
Have a great day, everyone!
…. and what are the chances ? – zoom in on the lyrics from this narrator at 2:55 to 3 minutes into the film. – is it because of the spectacular ass ? – is it because of the unibrow ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwxrTU2-Pmo&feature=channel
gooooood morning!
Hey Carol, flombaye, shaf
shaf, thank you for sharing the maddow link. maddow excels and in a weird salute to spinal tap, could reasonably be assessed as “the thom hartmann of her time”. – thoe there is one oversight: in the section from 6:40 to 7 minutes, maddow credits palin with pure innovation for choosing to die on the hill of “too many ethics complaints”, and clearly, the drone pattern of the segment in which sarah had made that declaration was inspired by mister lundegaard. (”fargo” is a true story.) thus, maddows reportage of sarah’s amazingly inept attempts(?) at making sense of a senseless position amounted to a rehash of “he’s fleeing the interview !!” … and a big fat goyische lesbian kudos upon rachel maddow. the girl rocks like the don ho cover of “kashmir”.
yeh, I went and watched Rachael, too.
and I like Sparta kitty, too, flom.
rain, rain, rain, rain
good morning all! Trying to work from home again, but finding it difficult to navigate the computer with a 14lb cat that has determined it is petting time, not working time…
CICM: let us know when you’ve watched it 300 times; we can incuct you as an honorary CCL. (the psychiatric canon now specifically recognizes the crazy cat lady syndrome.)
10: the cat sees only that you’re playing with a mouse, so that doesnt exactly scream “work time”. try disguising your mouse as a giraffe or something.
12- I wish he even cared about the computer… you can replace it with a book, tv, or basically any other thing that gets in the way of HIS attention time… he completely believes my sole reason for being on this Earth is to serve his every little wish… and the sad part is, he’s not that far off…
anyone get to watch the MJ funeral yesterday? It was pretty moving, and I wasn’t even a mega-fan like some are…
Morning, Danielle.
Looks like I don’t have to worry about Office 2K7 for a while. Got assigned to rewriting some test software, so that will keep me busy.
Mornin’ Rabbit… didn’t know you were also a techie… I’m a data analyst, but just got officially moved into I.T. to help develop the UI for our new softward… to be honest, I have no idea what they want me to do… but so far, I’m fakin’ it ok…
13: diagnosis is complete:
you have a cat.
14: just happened to catch the procession covered by helicopter. it was particularly impressive that the car carrying michael was moving backward, thoe it appeared to be going forward. – i wonder how expensive it was for them to get the street to light up under it like that.
Danielle, I do electromagnetic compatibility testing on medical equipment (patient monitors, defibrillators). A lot of our software is very old (DOS based that barely runs under Windows), and because the market for test software is so small, even the hideously expensive commercial software, frankly, sucks. About half of the software we use is designed in-house. I know just enough about writing test software (for my own designs) to get myself in trouble, but it’s fun to try to get the hang of it again.
16: i just checked with janiqua, and clearly that was a typo; there’s no such thing as “softward”. “oh, me oh my !!”
Good morning, live blogospherians! You may recall we had to put down our beagle Saturday. We miss having a dog so much even after that short a time that we decided to head over to animal control yesterday. We saw the cutest little beagle, but they have to hold her for two more days. Then we have to hope we get there first for her when she becomes available. Wish us luck. We already have a name for her we want her so much.
*Matthews ‘HA!’* on #18
Morning Mookies!
21
Keeping my fingers crossed for you, LC.
Good Morning ALL!!!! (actually here on time today for a change) What is the good word, y’all?? Anyone else famous die last night? Or has “The Summer of Death” abated?
22: nice phlegmish accent. are you from brussels? and are you related to shamwow?
Good Luck Lefty- I’m sitting here with my two little rescue babies as well… I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya!
It’s Miller time!
Where’d you get that line Richard? Fox’s headlines???
LOL
Thanks guys. We’re planning on missing part of Steph’s show tomorrow so we get there early.
At that moment Bill-O’s head exploded. HA!
Senator Franken. That sounds SO good!
So when does BillO’s head explode??
**spirit fingers**
Good morning, MooksterBloggen. Did they bury MJ at the Staples Center?
25: we’re only getting started. i shouldnt give any details just yet.
Tahhhhhd!!!
KISS!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!
Me too Steph!!! I was the same age when I lost my mom, so it was especially moving… I shed more then a couple tears for Paris…
Paul Green, a political scientist from the U. of Chicago, thinks she’s positioning herself for a run for President by resigning so she can spend more time in the lower 48.
Poor Todd – having to live with that screechy bitch.. No wonder he’s off riding his snowmobilers..
21: i’m sending power prayers for that pup to get the most ferociously bestest home. may be you, or not. the dye is cast.
This woman is an absolute loon.
A kindly PSA to her starburst-struck right-wing fans: YOU WILL NEVER GET TO F&@* HER!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PETER!!!!!! MY GOD THAT IS FUNNY!
40: spending more time in the lower 48? that’s too bad, because it’s actually within sarah’s upper twelve IQ points, that all the really interesting stuff happens.
Tell us how you REALLY feel, Bill-O/Jim.
Hullo! Jim Ward’s Billy O’Biley is making me hurt I’m laughing
so much!
good morning to all
Michael Jackson died? Why wasn’t it on the news?
46: see post 20.
So it’s all about job creation? I thought it was about the troops.
48: probably blocked by some dipshit named peter king, who has been trying to wheedle 15 minutes of fame by complaining that people are giving more attention to michael jackson than to himself. okay peter, mission accomplished. now FOAD.
Jim Ward Is On Fire this morning. I guess Mrs. Ward is treating
him right at home…
50: it’s still about the bling-bling. DUH! rachel in those hip-waders is all the evidence you need.
Sarah Palin Speeches: Made from 100% Sentence-Like Product.
54: you just bopped a kayaker on the head.
21 LeftCenter, so sorry about your beagle. A new beagle
is prolly the only thing that will make you feel better,
you’ll always miss the old one but the new puppy will be
a comfort.
You could even teach him to drive…
#53 Did you catch Rachel Maddow in her hip waders last night?
OK, stupid question… trying to listen online and get bad feedback regardless of what online station I go through… it was working fine before that this morning… my gut is that it is some fault of the cable internet provider… anyone have any ideas / suggestions on how to have Steph in clear sound?
Ed McMahon story [all true]
Home from work after a long hard day. I’m tired, trying to
relax with a beer and the news. A couple of our neighbors
are over at our house. We chat, I loosen my tie.
My wife bounds into the living room, all happy, big smiles.
“Look what I got from Ed McMahon! We could be rich!”
That was the last straw. “God dammit I’ve told you and told
you! I don’t want Ed McMahon writing you letters, promising
you money! He just wants to sodomize you!”
My wife rolls her eyes at me. The neighbors glance nervously
at each other and edge toward the door.
“We’ve got to be getting home” they chorus.
I can see by the looks on their faces they had no idea the kind
of twisted ugliness going on in our home.
#58 I thought only cats drive.
Re: the commercial. Today’s math? WTF? Seriously, today’s math for school children is the same math as 30 years ago.
It was the 1960s when the “New Math” was introduced (Thank you, Tom Lehrer, for the great song about it!)
#60, they do. Just not very well.
#52 Yeah, Jim’s Janiroquoa must be a a cosmic girl!
43: excellent and very salient point about political campaigns by the way. thank you for formulating and posting it so succinctly. – this is the message that was missing when RWR kept droning into the CRT tube that we can tax ourselves into prosperity. “just you and i just the two of us only, will collect all the revenue, and we, just we two, will trickle down on everybody else”. — the same insight was needed to for the magnificent drolls who looked at bush and at kerry and decided their votes on the basis “george would be a WHOLE lot funner to huff some gold paint with”.
60, 62 Oliver is a very good driver.
There were touching moments. Nonetheless where were most of these celebs when MJ could have used support?
Trivia: The music for the song “Smile” (Jackson’s favorite) was written by Charles Chaplin (form “Modern Times”).
Why is an entertainer more celebrated than the least of the
American sons and daughters fighting and dying overseas for
us in a rotten, dirty, immoral war?
Nothing against said entertainer but it makes me angry.
I’m fed up with the fact that Bill-O still draws breath.
He’s grandstanding! By dying!
So, Bill, tell me, what did you get in exchange for your SOUL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
59: perhaps this is the famous “guilt” i’ve heard so much about… i think perhaps they just might know a bit, because i think i sort of tipped them off in one of my latest installments of the “drunkenbikerhelmetgluedonparatrooper” blog that i write during lunch.
sorry old chap. didnt think they’d take your soaring vortex of debaucheries as if they were a bad thing.
anyone need a nerd-gasm?

“have you priced rat’s ass lately?”
Rat’s asses have become a major constituent of hot dogs,

cents to $3.98 november republican douche bags are down
a dollar ten to three thirty five
Stephanie Miller is up 17 cents…
Rep Peter King is an accomplished Republi-Turd. One of those that I feel an irresistible urge to break his teeth in every time I see him on the television being a complete azzhole.
#65, does no one remember Toonces?
68: well, it’s the moonwalk. only marty mcfly can bridge those two worlds.
May the writers of this damn quietiss commercial burn in hell!
Mark, you slay me, sir! ;->
The Quietiss commercial irritates most when the bastids repeat the phone number FOUR times – just exceeded by the goddam current commercial, which managed FIVE times!!
#77 That’s who I had in mind.
If I had tinnitus, I would never use Quietiss just because of their commercials.
77: the look on toonces in abject panic is to facial expression as the voice of john fogarty is to singing. – are the two related? – they’re both quite surreal also. at least toonces didnt get sued by himself in court. – “when i fight johnfogarty, johnfogarty always wins…” sing along!
72 thanks for that flombe.
one of these days I’m going to get this helmet off.
O’course it does keep out the mind kontrol rays…
You gotta Understand though, Ed was after my girl.
He had Designs on her. He kept writing her these
letters, promising her money. He was trying to get
her to take a Trailways bus to Albuquerque so he
could have his twisted Way were her, with his deformed
and uncirced Member in every tender orifi… she was
completely blind to it all, I had to put a Stop to it…
I could just picture him, yelling “Hi-yo!”…
my sentiments exactly 83!
I wonder who will die Thursday.
So Steph, what does the weed-whacker engine weigh?
79/81: QUIETISS: apply with icepick directly to the hippocampus !!
QUIETISS: apply with icepick directly to the hippocampus !!
QUIETISS: apply with icepick directly to the hippocampus !!
QUIETISS: apply with icepick directly to the hippocampus !!
QUIETISS: apply with icepick directly to the hippocampus !!
80 thanks Ivan but you know you’re just egging me on…
77 Toonces?! something there at the edge of memory/consciousness…
Certain marketeers desperately need their asses beaten.
The cops interviewing the kids said that the kids could describe in great detail specific features of his naughty bits. He did it.
I wonder if his naughty bits were black or white?
Wait, are these the same people who did the mashup of the MJ press conference where he talks about what a perv he is?
Mama, Chris, Jim come on. Before he died, you played up MJ’s presumed guilt for comedy a thousand times.
Good Morning Board.
Cloudy and raining at O’Hare Field in Chicago.
Happy Birthday Kevin Bacon – 51 today. Let’s play a game of Six Degrees of . . .
Billy Crudup is 41. Fantastic as J Edgar Hoover in “Public Enemies”
So how soon does the DVD of the Michael Jackson memorial come out? Didn’t even bother to turn on the TV yesterday. Sigh.
87: very strong “david grohl” signals coming thru… or “gary coleman”, not sure.
I certainly hope he didn’t have plastic surgery on his naughty bits that was comparable to that on his nose.
MJ had no childhood, but that was before he discovered Jesus’ Juice..
Ugly Twisted stuff:
Regent ‘University’ founded by [ech!] Paddy Robertson
‘Liberty’ ‘University’ founded by Jerry Foolwell
and then of course Bob Jones U., another of these fifth tier
schools, brainwashing factories
Peter King and donor.
Is “uniquely american” a code phrase for “none of that damn European socialist medicine crap”????? I guess what ever makes the idiot righties vote for it…
To say nothing of Microsoft University!
98: the “no childhood” thing just doesnt fly with somebody who had the budget to subcontract that sort of thing.
#101, yeah, it’s the usual American execeptionalism.
Oddly enough, the “single payer” system of Germany is, apparently, a lot like the system we’re trying to get here: robust public option competing with extremely highly regulated private insurance plans.
#21 – Beagles – best dogs in the world – a handful to housebreak and train, but they have big hearts, big appetites, they love kids (never barred his teeth, growled or attacked any children) and they love cats (they like to eat their food, too!). My beagle brother also liked to dance on ladies’ legs, but, you folks with male dogs (like Stephanie) understand these things.
the Real story of What Steph did on her vacation:
What I Did On My Summer Vacation by Miss Stephanie Miller
We got to go to Pleasure Island!: Me, Stephanie Miller,
and my mooks: Chris and Jim. Oh and my call screener
Rebekah. It’s a resort with a water park and a wave
pool and lots and lots of bats. I mean bars.
Then when we got there Jim made us all call him Lampwick,
or “L-Dogg”, and he showed us all about gambling,
drinking, brawling, smoking, vandalism, eating junk food,
how to use profanity, ride amusement rides, get tattos,
do drive-bys, and not have to learn marketable skills
or study educational lessons, and cussing. But I already
knew all about cussing, darn it all!
We mostly hung out in pool halls playing billiards,
smoking cigars, drinking and cussing. Then we started
to turn into donkeys and grew ears and tails and got
sold into slavery in the salt mines or the circus by a
dark and evil hooded figure known only as ‘The
Coachman’ [Dick Cheney]. He whipped us and stuffed us
in cages to be shipped off to independent suppliers in Malaysia.
Fortunately Rebekah saved us all by unlocking our cages
and making us jump off a cliff [cliff diving is So Much Fun!] whereupon we got swallowed by a whale, but it all ended up
alright when the whale threw up and we landed back here at
work. And I came home with the cutest ears and tail! Wait
til I get my pictures back from the developer! Or maybe it
was all just a crazy dream brought on by those funny
mushrooms that guy gave me at the resort. Was that a
whale or a 767? I dunno!
104: then i’m hopping the next aeroflot directly to dutchland. this uncomfortable hunk of metal’s not working for me. for five years, i’ve been carrying this cowbell.
#105 Our beagle was neutered, so we didn’t have that problem.
106: what a relief that counseler jim had the good sense to blend smoking cigars with billards, easily the most smoker-friendly of all indoor sports. – ever see that many ashtrays on a foosball table?
#93 I wonder if his naughty bits were black or white?
According to the song, “it doesn’t matter if it’s black or white.”
109 call me L-Dogg
they need to use more Star Trek drops with Bones saying “Jim”
wheres the stream?
#111 I think 99.9% of the time when Bones said, “Jim,” he preceded it with, “He’s dead…”
110 Ed McMahon’s naughty bits were palomino, that
bastard. Running around the pool with his savage
piebald junk out trying to get my girl, chasing her
around the jacuzzi…
113 good point, it’s perfect timing what with everyone dropping
like flies…
The minute the parents took the money they lost all credibility.
Interesting that my two favorite radio personalities were off for all the “fun” stuff last week. Mama was on vacation – the other had been sick for the last two weeks and just returned early this morning.
And they both have very capable fill-in hosts.
aside from my personal belief of what happened, for as many religious people as I’ve heard stating that the payoff equals his guilt, I wonder if they apply the same rule to the pay offs by the church…
Wait a minute, what about the Jesus juice? What sort of person invites little kids over to his mansion and has them drinking wine?
mike on the mic, on mike sounds entirely valid. MJ was always in the jehovah’s witness protection (from reality) program. – it just doesnt seem a stretch that a person who finds gentleness and tenderness appealing qualities in a world, would try and succeed in absorbing those qualities. — people make sport of richard simmons too, but even richard was just barely fortunate and famed, he flew a woman i know out to visit, just to be supportive. some people really are that benevolent.
i tend to suspect that MJ (albeit a rare specimen), was sincere in all that seemingly improbable innocence.
I wish that woman hadn’t been dumped or could have refrained from the language – I wanted to hear what she has been going through.
wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?wheres the stream?

I like to dance on lady’s legs..
BTW
Randi Rhodes has a theory that Palin is preggers. What do you think?
Down by the oooooooooolllllllllddddddddd mill strrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Oh dear God Steph….please no more Michael Jackson!
I never thought I’d want to turn this show off…but
stop already. I sooooooooo sick of MJ blah, blah, blah.
More SENATOR Al Franken!
So, like, me & my coworkers were just talking about how K to the J to the IL in the hizzy fired a missile at us on Saturday and nobody knows it because it’s more important that Michael Jackson died.
On that note — G’Morning, Bloggoes!
Somebody spoke, and I went into a dream..
Stephanie Miller on Antiques Road Show:
“this was my grandma’s antique credenza…”
“Uh, she used this while servicing Chinese railroad laborers”
“No! My grandmother didn’t service Chinese railroad laborers…!”
“Yes, yes she did. I’m a antiques expert…”
– with apologies to Will Sasso, not to mention Stephanie’s
grandmother
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=18334187
I have a theory that Randi Rhodes has big breaths..
Morning Mama, mooks, and cyber-mooks
131 — hearable across this great land of ours. Did you misspell “breastices”?
128 Kwazy lil’Korean Git and his No-Dong just ain’t
scary enough. I’m still pissed off that MJ gets more
attention than a dead soldier. It’s not right.
131 yeah, very Big Breaths. She’d be OK if in a shipwreck.
Something is happening on the web today. A lot of news sites are really slow and google is having problems. Anyone else notice that?
134 — The thing that’s occuring to me right now, Mark, is how flipped-out frustrated clazyman must be that he didn’t get our attention.
#134 The dead soldier didn’t sell hundreds of millions of records.
Is it just me or does dreadful Sara look like she’s been
gnawing on wood?…
oh god No! Palin’s flexing her Teeth again…
Oooh, Sarah’s voice could shatter glass.
#136 Yeah, the internet is NOT working. It’s as if elephants are standing atop our series of tubes.
What was that story, Steph? Firefighters Put Out for Elderly Woman?
Yeah, Caribou Barbie uses a whole bunch of catchphrases and buzzwords and it means nothing. I think the next time that Caribou Barbie speaks, what we need to do is play buzzword bingo.
138 — yep. cash cow for the very people who bring you the news. no wonder they’re so damn focussed.
I nominate Sarah for another new title… how about Chatty Mc Mooseturd… because she talks about as much as those damn dolls and everything that comes out of her mouth is nothing but a bunch of crap!
How can Steph play the “Micheal Jackson is a molester” mash-up a 1000 times and now pretend to be neutral?
137 he IS a little attention-whore, isn’t he? Wah!
138 selling millions of records just doesn’t compare
with laying down your life for the country… our
values are So out of whack
hhhhmmmm….. who am I more sick of right now? Sarah Palin or Michael Jackson? That’s a tough one.
#148 Agreed, but you asked the reason, and I gave it.
147 — Ron — remember it’s Michael Jackson world. The truth is what the person speaking says it is. Think about that the next time you contemplate anything W did.
146 I second that Danielle
Chatty McMooseturd it is… please pour her a big cup of STFU
Mikey Steele is an idiot. The racist Rethug bastards
let him be the front man for their creepy party when
they know they are crashing and burning… let the
colored fella hold the ball heh heh
150 you are right Sir [ed mcmahon ref]
Michael “puppy lover” Steele
Hey Michael “Baby” Steal… wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first!
So is something really bad or good gonna happen today in a couple of hours when it will be 12:34:56 7/8/09?? Other than a bunch of numerologists jumping out of their windows?
157 — I’m gonna eat lunch. That’s something.
Why do we keep trying to tie this noose around Michael Jackson’s neck (lynching)?
Reasons we should all consider when going on this lynch mob…
1. Only two out of the thousands of kids who visited Jackson accused him of anything.
2. Many of the kids who were invited to Neverland were suffering from terminal illnesses. The second kid who brought charges actually was considered terminal until he beat the odds.
3. Many of the kids who were brought to the Ranch including McCauley Culken (the kid with 2 last names) were interviewed and all refused to accuse Michael of anything.
So why would Michael Jackson who HAD ENOUGH MONEY to go to places in the world where this type of behavior is legal risk doing something like this in a country where it is illegal?
If he were such a pedofile why would he only molest two out of the many kids he had at his disposal?
Why wouldn’t there have been more kids coming forth for a big payday when the monetary payoff was as huge as the first kids payoff?
Last questions. Why is Michael Jackson viewed so differently in Northern Santa Barbara Country than in the rest of the world and why would such a conservative part of the State find Micael Jackson not guilty? Finanlly, why did DA Sneddon get pushed out of the door for “bringing such a WEAK case”?
I would love to see the Jackson estate SUE Representative Peter King just for the hell of it…..
check out this site…..http://www.mjonlinememorial.com
madduane,
I’m not sure get your point. I’m convinced W lied. I’m not sure about Jackson.
I used to always cringe when Steph played the Jackson is a Molester clip but, obviously, Steph and the mooks thought it was hilarious and appropriate.
#157 What time zone?
#158 Yup…. me too.
If Alaska asked her to STFU would she?
Make her stop!!!
Last caller used the F(aggot) word, don’t like that. . .
160 — Michael also claimed never to have had plastic surgery. do you believe that?
>> wildweezle says:
>> Reasons we should all consider when going on this lynch mob…
Oh, C’mon. You know exactly why.
Grown men who sleep with little children seem like pedophiles.
161
It’s gonna happen 24 times today.
G’morning all. Leftcenter, sorry about yur dogie, hope you get the new one.
All you computer software techies kind of overwhelm me. Writing programs mystifies me.
Swappin’ in the sauna. You betcha!
that drop makes my eye twitch….
161: Why Zulu, of course!
Alaska’s potential:
a future wasteland of endless pipelines leaking onto the natural environment, staining the LAST skeletal polar bear to look more like a bovine.
#166 How could he POSSIBLY make that claim?? I guess that sure proves he’s bat @#$% crazy.
I’m just wondering how Steph and act like she never played that “Jackson is a Molester” clip 1000 times ?
Granted, maybe she’s explained herself and I missed it. But, I gotta get off-line.
MJ *morphed* into a white man with a nose like Diana Ross, only mutilated..
#174
he could claim he had “reconstructive” surgery, not plastic (cosmetic).
Don’t kidyouselves If Palin wan’t an important person you wouldn’t devote so much time on her idiocy…and have us turn your program off!!
so go tohell with the Palin again
174 — He claimed that the change in skin color was due to a rare skin disease. It is true that in later years, he just stopped talking about it, but I remember all through the late eighties and early nineties he would deny it and act all offended.
articulated?!?!?!
#179 “rare skin disease”….. riiiiiiight. I’m sticking with bat @#$% crazy.
#167: “Grown men who sleep with little children seem like pedophiles”…
Be Real Fool, grown men sleep with little kids every day of year… it is your predisposition towards thinking that someone is having sex with those kids that is the issue….
Remember, those who shout the loudest have the most to hide… (Mark Sanford)…
“Department of Law There in the White House”
159—-The man is dead.
One thing though, you ask how and why would someone like that molest kids when he could travel to places where it’s legal? And why did he allegedly molest “only” 2?
MJ had power. Power only money can buy and since he was incredbly wealthy he could buy lots of power. Power corrupts. It corrupts almost everyone.
I’ve asked myself why did he change from being a normal looking/acting guy to becoming a man of extremes. It’s basically because he was handed tons of power and money and he had issues. Issues from childhood that he was working out in public.
More than just being handed a ton of power, he was also under tremendous pressure—from FANS! And the press. And the record companies.
It’s up to each individual what they choose to believe about MJ.
Before I forget, I wanted to give you all MAD PROPS for hitting Sparta yesterday. Nicely done!! When I left for lunch around 11:30 it wasn’t looking very likely.
Be Real Fool, grown men sleep with little kids every day of year…
What planet do you live on, where grown men sleep with little kids in their bed, kids that they are not the father of?
Somebody does need to “Be Real” here.
127—yes, I couldn’t take anymore of it yesterday. MJ overload. The memorial service was beautiful but then they are replayed “highlights” all day. YEESH!
187 — I will say that. Within the parameters set, it was a fairly dignified memorial. That made me happy, actually.
Does anyone here use Firefox?
It’s about time Harry Reid grew a pair!
#189 I do.

of millions and millions of people, and hung all the crimes

Steve, I’m using Firefox.
Can we get over MJ, please? Sheesh.
I did a blog on the oil futures market and how low margin requirements allow people to manipulate the market without a lot of money.

191: I normally do, but it’s been crashing like crazy lately. Have you had that problem?
190 — I keep going back to my carrot & stick theory. Democrats will not “grow a pair”, because that’s not their purpose. Their purpose is to promise things, get your hopes up, and then buckle. I would think that history had taught us all that by now.
That’ll give you something to talk about besides Michael Jackson.
#14 – saw most of it the funeral and felt some of it was sincere, some gratuitous. It was best hearing the personal stories by Brooke Sheilds, Magic Johnson, Gordy Berry and Smokey Robinson.

“Bing vs. Google.
If we Talk about Bing in particular taking over Google,
that would be a fair joke from Microsoft. They dont have
the skill and innovation to catch upto google. Even if
they do, their capacity, processing & speed will never

Bing in chinese language means “Disease”, truly a Brand

Harry Reid has been going down the drain s already – if you wanna cheer for his little bread crumbs that he gives you that may as well serve your idiocy
118—I heard one of his lawyers being interviewed and the lawyer said that he pointed out to MJ that he never should have paid off anyone because that makes him look guilty. Supposedly Michael said he just gave them money so the matter would be settled and go away.
He didn’t want to deal with it.
Haven’t you ever done that in life? You pay the fee and don’t fight something just because you don’t want to deal with it?
Many marketing plans are built around people being willing to pay the fee rather than fighting something.
And quite frankly, it makes sense with MJ’s other actions, in that he could buy anything, that he would think that money would buy him out of any kind of trouble.
On the other hand, he might have just been manipulating the lawyer.
Heard that Obama’s speech was not put on some of the radio stations in Russia.
203 relax, it’s just the NSA mucking with you…
Michael Jackson’s memorial would have been much better had he not quit making music… and not been such a huge weirdo.
granted, I am a fan of the weird… but I draw the line at “sleeping in the same bed with other people’s children.”
So it’s not just me, eh, rocky mountain. I think there’s something going on today on the web. Yesterday there was a denial of service attack on various government websites. I think they’re doing it to more internet addresses today. I have noticed that google gets hung up.
119—and then there is the Jesus juice. That’s a problem.
196 much like Gilligan getting your hopes up to get
off the island then screwing it all up again
#186…
Let me just answer your DUMB question by saying that i have 4 kids…. my brothers and sisters have 78 nieces and nephews… my kids are always visting their aunts and uncles and in many cases, extended family members….. many times my kids have slept with my brothers and their wives… so according to you, i should not allow them to sleep with their aunts and uncles because they are not their father and mother….
You seem to be someone who shouldn’t be discussing this issue…..
Putin would shoot Palin.
On Gov Sarah Plain -
She brings it on herself. Why is she paying legal fees when the State will pay to defend her against ethics violations.
How can she possibly complain about paying legal fees when it is her choice to do so?
And, she has not won all of the ethics violation complaints against her. In one she had to pay the state back for the travel expenses of her children. Is that a win?
OMG, didn’t John Yarmuth sound like Marvin the martian. to bad staph counldn’t get him to say “communicator…”
#213 Bad analogy, unless MJ was the uncle of the kids he slept with.
keep going with that Palin moron, rethugs. See how
that works for you. Dumb as as a stump gets dumped…
#209 – agreed. He veered off into some really strange behavior and altering his appearance so much was bizarre, but I tried to remember the early years of Jackson 5 and up through Thriller when he still looked cute and an amazing performer. Queen Latifah had a good speech about him too.
EXCUSE ME?? Slutty Flight Attendant look?!! I thought it was slutty librarian!!

#213
considering most child molesters are related to the children they molest, maybe your family is weird and “sleeping with their aunts and uncles” shouldn’t be happening.
120—I think MJ was a highly complex mess of goodness, manipulation, and frozen identity. Plus he was probably gay and never wanted to come out lest his father beat the crap out of him. (His father wouldn’t literally beat him since MJ was an adult but deep in MJ’s heart he probably feared the soul beating he would get if he came out.)
When I think of these things it’s just one more reason to give all people equal rights, no matter what adults they are attracted to. Our society is still midieval in this regard.
Palin cracks me up. What she does is like the woman who has half her boob hanging out of her dress and then says stop staring at my breasts. Uh, if you didn’t put them on display like that, you dumb twit.
My only fear is that Palin doesn’t get “The Machine” behind her that Monkey Boy did. But if she does, she may very well be in the Oval Office someday in the not-too-distant-but-horribly-terrifying future. And then it’s “Ooooo Canada..” for yours truly.
224—woops. Medieval.

213—-Are they in the same bed with their aunts and uncles? How old are the kids? And why doesn’t everyone buy some $15 air matresses and set the kids up to sleep away from the adults in the living room?
Hypocrites – R – Us is the GOP
You mean the liberal elite media that has dwindled down to 5 large corporations running our TV/Radio/Print and who also happen to be heavy donors to the GOP? That elite media??
I don’t want to live in a world without Dear Leader.
All over the world families live in one room homes where parents and children often share the same sleeping quarters… there’s nothing inherently wrong with that… not debating the MJ thing… just trying to be fair… in many cultures there would be nothing considered odd about it…
233 — PJ — Don’t confuse Jim’s character with the real bastard.
I have this complaint about Twitter too:
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-twitter7-2009jul07,0,4927824.story
Yeah Sean…you forgot to add in the previous 8 years.
234—I agree. In many cultures the poor sleep together all the time, no matter the ages. But MJ was not poor.
236 — Twitter is for hustlers, it seems.
I don’t remember that promise about unemployment, Sean.
That is one of the problems of the stimulus package. The money hasn’t been spent yet. It needs to get out there, but the thing is, if you want to spend on infrastructure like roads and those kinds of things, it takes time.
It will take time for the stimulus to kick in. The money should start flowing by the end of the year. Let’s wait until the spring of 2010 before we judge it.
238 — those are more collectivist cultures, too. There wasn’t a kid alone in a bed with 1 adult, it’s communal.
220 – I was thinking slutty diner waitress.
239—I get lots of provocative ladies seeking to follow me on Twitter, plus people selling junk, plus investment schemes.
It’s Twitter spam. I hate it.
Twitter spam would be called Spwitter.
243 — Shelley Tambo?
That’s why I don’t twitter. I blog, I facebook, I myspace, I digg, I reddit, and I stumbleupon. But twitter? Nah.
And on that note, folks, I am out of here. Have a great day. I’m going to go do some hiking today — no, not the Appalachian Trail — and I’ll see you around.
242, For the most part I agree, but we have single parents in this country who cannot afford to have seperate rooms for children. I live in a 1-1, and the apartment next door used to house a family of 4 due to financial contstraints. I’m not saying it’s the ideal situation, but there are often real life reasons for a child and adult sleeping in the same bed besides something sinister… granted, this is usually a parent or relative… so I would think it’s odd if it was an unrelated person, but just saying not every situation is a case of sexual abuse…
I’m running Firefox here at home.
I’ve been trying to install a new monitor, and I’ve been unable to get to the manufacturer’s website for assistance.
The monitor works fine on my laptop, but won’t on the PC’s I got it for. I’m hoping it just doesn’t like my KVM switch. I don’t feel like crawling under the desk to get to one of the PC’s, think I wrenched my back.

Let’s lobby Obama so that he will not be deceived into letting the public option only be available if a “trigger” makes people choose it. If Obama supports a trigger-based public option I may only support MoveOn.org from now on.
I realize Obama wants to compromise and kiss up to those &%$##@ insurance companies, but if he supports a trigger-type plan he’s just signing us up for a gang assault.

I hate this font. my SPartA never comes out right.
#223…
Actually the adults in my family BEHAVE like adults and are quite responsible so I don’t have to worry about them doing anything inappropriate to my kids. These are the same people who would have to become paents to my kids in the event that something happens to me. I’m sorry for the world you live in where people would rather take advantage of the young rather than love and protect them. If someone in my family were doing anything inappropriate with any kid we would know about it and address it….
Yes, brought it home that he was someone’s dad and these kids will have a difficult time. I also thought about the kids that have lost their dads because of Iraq….
#255
my family doesn’t do that stuff.
you may think that your family is responsible etc etc but that’s how child molesters function. usually they are people who know or or related to the kids. it’s a fact, not opinion.
That’s because Sarah can’t take responsibility for her actions. It’s everyone else’s fault – always.

RE: slutty flight attendant
I find it the height of hypocrisy that Republicans are offended that someone like Bill Maher points out that Palin looks like a slutty flight attendant.
First of all, she does.
Second of all, how many times have you seen rightwing supporters indicating as their main reason that “she’s hot.” It’s OK for supporters to objectify her.
Third of all, I’m gay, but even if I weren’t, I don’t get it, she wouldn’t be hot.
OMG do Palin like the Oscar winners who go on too long. Cue Orchestra.
I thought it was ridiculous that they closed down the freeways for the hearse escort. Come on!! He wasn’t a head of state…
OK, People. We need to get our asses in gear to get to sparta.. ;->
To the one asking about Firefox – I’ve been using it for years, mostly like it intensely better that IE. Use the latest version, and I recommend the following add-ons:
Adblock Plus – great ad blocker
NoScript – best Java script control around
IE Tab – lets you run those pain in the ass sites demanding IE
Favicon Picker – lets you replace the link icons on your toolbar with what YOU want
All are freeware add ons. The latter is the only one I wouldn’t consider a necessity.
re: 262
Wasn’t he a head of state of whatever country’s military dictator jackets he wore?
Heya StephHeads, What were the dates of Steph’s appearances in San Fran and Seattle? I just came in on the tail end of that announcement. Thanks mucho.
Cheers,
mfaye
If Republicans aren’t being offended, how will we liberals know we’re right?
#264 – Captain Crunch?
That sucked…Firefox froze up or something and I had to reboot.
Arrrgh. That NOISE! Cats are scattering.
C’mon folks… we need more posts to get to Sparta!
I’ve had problems with the newest version of Firefox as well. It froze up my cursor, so finally removed it. The previous version worked okay though.
I’ll do my part, but will somebody please respond to my question, regarding the dates of Steph’s appearances in San Fran and Seattle? The info isn’t on the web site yet. Thanks mucho.
270 — how worthwhile is a gratuitous sparta? shouldn’t it just happen?
272 — sorry, mfaye, I missed it. I would post it if I knew…
249—I understand and I know people are often under such financial problems that their kids will sleep in the same room with them. However, there is always a way to provide kids and parents with privacy, even if it’s just stringing a sheet across the room.
Plus even 1-bedrm apartments have a living room where people can have some space.
When I was living in a 2-bedrm house with my kids because I couldn’t afford a 3-bedrm place, I built myself a sleeping area in the laundry room. My 2 girls shared the master bedrm and my son got the 2nd bedrm.

We gots plenty of time, Danielle. Sparta WILL be mine. Or maybe yours.
OK, I must go. Time is awastin’. No time for parta-s.
Have a lovely day and don’t settle for triggers! Grrr!
#273 – agree.
#277 oooooohhhhh… a Jen Chapin reminder. Hadn’t thought about her in FOREVER. Thanks for nothin’
I’m sorry mfaye, I THINK she mentioned next week, but that’s all I know.
She needs to update the calendar.
Good morning. I can’t play today. I have to write an executive summary before 9 a.m.
Yikes.
#283 Good thin you don’t live here. It’s already 10:30.
Jeeze, now I’m starting to talk like Ricky Ricardo. Good *thing*.
Unless for some bizarre reason she mentions she’s coming to Boston, I tend not to listen to any dates.
#283 “write an executive summary”??? Sounds like someone has one of them REAL jobs.
As an African American women involved with education, although I will acknowledge Micheal Jackson’s great talent ad a performer and adoration for the man should stop there. I can not think of one public feature who expressed self hatred for his african heritage more clearly than mr. jackson. Even if you believe he had to bleach his skin, his overlooking the many needy children of color and disabled childen to “buy” three super white children is an insult to people of colro everywhere. Also the impact of black entertainers on increasing opportunities and improving outcomes for poor african americans is overated. Look at the negative impact the growth of hip hop music has had on inner city balck youth!

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee gave an awesome legal defense of the late Michael Jackson.

#257, “my family doesn’t do that stuff.”
It is apparent that your family doesn’t do that stuff… Losely translated, your famly doesn’t have family trust in one another. That would explain why you feel you need to build walls and fences around the adults and kids because you don’t trust that the adults are capable of behaving. Somewhere in your family enough has been done to make you have such a high level of DISTRUST for your family members. Whats sad is that while you’re expressing your opinions publicly, you don’t realize how much you’re confessing about your environment. That is why we say, “those who scream the loudest have the most to hide”…
“you may think that your family is responsible etc etc”…
Actually I know my family members are responsible and I trust them with my life and lives of my kids. I’m sorry if your family is so screwed-up that you don’t feel they are responsible and you can trust them. That is just not the case in my family. We were raised to love and protect each other. Anything that would go against that including molesting a child is an infernia.
It is apparent to me that you don’t have kids and I surmised that you are not in a loving and trusting family. So because we are so different I think it is time to cease discussion on this topic with you. It has become increasingly difficult for me to communicate with someone who thinks the bedroom and the bed are primarily for SEX. ???
I hope you get some help soon before you end up like Michael Jackson.

Unless the economy improves we will be looking at President Palin in 2012. This is obviously a country that votes for celebrity -it helped Obama and it will lead to vitory for Palin. The hoopla about MJ shows this is a country that loves freaks and the Palins will fit the bill. GW shows that intellect is not a requirement to serve.
