    Goood morning all

    If Balloon Boy was a hoax, I’d like to see the parents get stuck with a huge bill, then maybe a visit from CO youth services. The NERVE of them knocking Stephanie off the Ed Show. Though after listening to yesterday’s show, I think it was probably better that Mama got to rest her voice a bit.

    It’s too early to be driving to work in the snow :( Fortunately it isn’t heavy and it’s not sticking to anything, but still :(

  2. shāf says:

    #1 I hear ‘ya, trojanrabbit! The fact that the family had been on the reality teevee show “Wife Swap” makes we suspicious of either the boy, the parents or the whole kit and kaboodle. As for snow… meh. I’m not ready for winter (then again, I never am).

    Hopefully, Steph will benefit of the night off. Felt so sorry for her yesterday. It had to have been a tough 3 hours for her.

  3. trojanrabbit says:

    2
    Yeah, I really felt bad for her because it’s doubly bad feeling like crap and not being home.

    The host on the overnight show I listen to has also been out most of the week with flu-like symptoms. And his show is 5 hours long and he has no mooks to take up the slack.

  4. trojanrabbit says:

    So this means there will be sausage and lung butter being made at the top of the hours today?

    Figures, after I show the wife how to record the stream, she’s no longer home to record it any more.

  5. I think it would have been funnier had he been on the balloon and made it safely home.

    That way, Shane-O could do a mashup drop that goes:
    “Look at you… you’ve got a baby… in a balloon!”

  6. Nick (in the æther) says:

    Mornin’ all!
    Has anyone seen dlisted?: http://dlisted.com/node/34372
    Is she trying to be the Katie Price of the conservo-set?

  7. trojanrabbit says:

    IT IS BALLOOOOOOON!

  8. Nick (in the æther) says:

    If he was in the balloon it would have been better…then congress could have stepped up to the plate & banned children flying in homemade aircraft. Or something important like that.

  9. Nick (in the æther) says:

    It’s not a balloon! It’s NOT a balloon!! It’s an airship, an airship!!
    ~Monty Python (Happy 40th!)

  10. trojanrabbit says:

    8
    Of course, in the previous Administration it could have been considered a potential terrorist aircraft and be shot down.

  11. Nick (in the æther) says:

    OK I have to ask: why is there an advert for Patients First at the bottom of the blog page?
    Is Chris’ tooliness getting contagious & spreading to Momma?

  12. shāf says:

    #7 I was thinking of the drop from Pink Floyd’s THE WALL, “Look Mummy, there’s a airplane BALLOON up in the sky.”

  13. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    “Mr President, we must close the homemade airship gap!”

  14. shāf says:

    #13 Doctor Strangelove much?

  15. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Moi? (^_^)

  16. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Olympia Snow looks like a Disney villianess. She should be in a hooded cloak offering bright red shiny apples to little girls.

  17. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    G’morning, gang! I love the smell of LiveBlog in the morning!

    #4 trojanrabbit, Mmmmm, sausage sizzling up in lung butter, sounds like the Denny Hastert Breakfast Slam! :-P

  18. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    So last night Rachel Maddow reiterated what a caller on yesterday’s Stephcast pointed out, which is that if Harry Reid puts the public option healthcare bill on the floor for an up or down vote, the Republicans would have to have 60 votes to filibuster, which they don’t have, because they would need one Democrat to break party unity to join them, which has never happened in the history of the Senate.

    Hmmm, ONE Democrat….or perhaps someone who caucuses with the Democrats…. I’m talking to YOU, Lieberman! (Muttered with gritted teeth, like Jerry Seinfeld saying, “Newman!”)

    I just e-mailed the good senator….

  19. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Oh please please please. Don’t say L.B. I’m eating a bagel.

  20. shāf says:

    BTW, after describing Steph’s condition to me wife, Peggy said to me, “So, that’s where you got that phrase (lung butter)” :lol:

    Good morning, ProducerChris and Steph.

  21. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #18: that’s what I’ve been saying! Let the Repubs show exactly what their ideas are.

  22. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    Hi Steph! Hi Mook(s)! Thanks for the sausage!

  23. trojanrabbit says:

    17
    And of course it has to be the “cultured” green lung-butter.

    Never heard of that term before. Thanks, Stephanie.

  24. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Oh wait…the Repubs don’t have any ideas.
    Forgot.
    Sorry sorry.

  25. Jim’s out looking for a UFO-shaped baloon so the show can get some attention.

  26. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Ah Steph’s hacking is coming along nicely!

  27. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    Mornin!

  28. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Notice that the balloon was made of silver foil…?

  29. shāf says:

    #18 Yep. This is when Obama plays Godfather and asks of Joe ‘a favor’ for not kicking him to curb.

  30. shāf says:

    Wow, Chris is producing and stuff!

  31. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    OMG Chris is a producer!

    And >belch< from Steph….

  32. good Steph belch drop for Shane-O.

  33. shāf says:

    It’s Miller Time, y’alls!

  34. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    So balloon boy chundas & the father keeps chatting away?
    This father is very…I don’t even have a word for it…

  35. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    “So, puke sound first, Chris?”

    “Yeah, I’m turning you off.”

    This is why they get paid the big bucks, people! :-D

  36. What Balloon Boy might have seen, had he been on a balloon… that went to 105,000 feet.

  37. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Well at least Balloon Boy had the good idea to barf of Viera.

    Egg Salad Sandwich
    Print Options

    * Print (no photos)
    * Print (with photos)

    This recipe is for a one egg sandwich. If you have more eggs and more people to feed, just double, triple, etc. the recipe.
    Ingredients

    * 1 hard-boiled* egg (large), peeled and chopped
    * 1-2 Tbsp mayonnaise (to taste)
    * 2 Tbsp chopped celery
    * 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
    * Curry powder (to taste)
    * Salt and pepper (to taste)
    * 1 leaf of lettuce
    * 2 slices dark rye bread, toasted

    * To make hard boiled eggs, place a few eggs in a saucepan, cover with at least an inch of water, preferable 2 inches. Add a half teaspoon of vinegar and some salt to the water (if the shells crack while boiling, the vinegar will help keep the egg in the shell). Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water begins to boil, remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 12 minutes. Drain the water from the pan, add cold water to cool the eggs, let sit a couple minutes longer.
    Method

    1 Mash up the chopped egg a bit with a fork. Mix together the chopped hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, celery and onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and curry powder to taste. Mix with a spoon.

    2 Toast your bread slices. Put a layer of lettuce on one slice of toasted bread, spread the egg mixture on top of the lettuce, put another slice of toasted bread on top.

    Makes one sandwich.

  39. shāf says:

    Mama is sounding better today. Her voice is back to Susan St. James (from McMillan and Wife) levels.

    Good morning, Rebekah!

  40. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    And this is the state of television today: wife-swapping with idiots.

  41. burt bondy says:

    the balloon story was probably the greatest thing ever seen on this planet….

  42. EW278 says:

    OMG Steph got pushed over for a pyscho. What were you thinking Ed?

  43. my pooer's dad says:

    At the risk of being skewered. Other than giving Step copious amounts of TV time, Ed Schultz sucks.

  44. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    An amateur inventor invented flubber.

  45. Yes, you can be an amateur scientist. Most of the scientists of the 19th century were amateurs (born into money).

    Even today, a lot of discoveries are made by amateur astronomers (asteroid hunters, supernova hunters), because they have more eyes in more places than the pros, who use their limited telescope time to look at specific objects, and have scheduled to look at those objects months in advance.

  46. Derrick says:

    I’m an amateur Doctor.

  47. EW278 says:

    LOL Talk amongst yourselves.

    Get well, Stephanie!

  48. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Derrick…are you playing Doctor now?

  49. shāf says:

    Yea, the Harvey’s Bristol Creme endorsement!

  50. Derrick says:

    Nick,

    Only after I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express.

  51. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Falcon? Really??

  52. #46, that said, this guy sounds more like an amateur loon than an amateur scientist.

  53. Skyhawk says:

    Morning bloggers!

  54. shāf says:

    #52 Falcon? Where’s the Snowman?

  55. #52, well, this kid will have one thing going for him – that wacky cybernetic dog Dynomutt.

  56. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Next question: what else is this guy inventing?
    Thought bloggoes?

  57. Daily Dave says:

    Hey Chris momma can stop here on her way home.
    Sounds like a stand up news story. I’ll send an email

    http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/story/829464.html

    Just when you thought there was nothing to do around here, . . . The Holiday Inn Grand Island will be filled this long weekend with married folks who have sex with other people’s spouses. The doors are swinging open for “Entice the Falls,” an annual swingers convention billed as “Four Days of Wicked Temptation.”

  58. Derrick says:

    If this is a hoax, then what a terrible dad he is for making his kid out to be a brat.

  59. You can always tell loons by their obsession with magnetism.

    Seriously, we’ve understood magnetism and what generates it to over a hundred years.

  60. EW278 says:

    A way to make “Calling All Occupants of Interplanetary Craft” a #1 song in all markets.

  61. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    PeterW: Hah! I wasn’t going to go there…but you did!

  62. shāf says:

    #60 Foil hats would have made the scene PERFECT!

  63. EW278 says:

    Watch all the right wingers cry and whine about Rush failing to buy the Rams.

  64. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    That was weird, the live blog lost all formatting for a second.

  65. trojanrabbit says:

    Way too much to do to stick around.

    Take care of yourself, Stephanie.

    Have a great weekend, all!

  66. Skyhawk says:

    64 – I can see their headline “Rush Gets Rammed”.

  67. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    Bye, trojanrabbit!

  68. Derrick says:

    I guess we should be glad that this guy decided not to be an amateur nuclear physicist.

  69. shāf says:

    Have a great weekend, trojanrabbit!

  70. Skyhawk says:

    Steph could do Colombo with her voice now.

  71. Robotrix says:

    Stephanie’s going to get on a plane with that flu? Yikes.

    Love Mama but… Won’t be good for her either.

    Hope she gets better soon.

  72. SIENA says:

    AS MUCH AS I LOVE STEPH…BOY AM I GLAD I WON’T BE ON THAT FLIGHT WITH HER WITH THIS FLU!!!!

  73. Derrick says:

    At least that was a cheaper way for him to track down his “Space Ship”.

  74. #69, he wouldn’t have got far with the little sources you can buy from Edmund Scientific.

  75. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    What is this balloon supposed to be for? I’ll bet he was planning a UFO hoax.

  76. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    Thank goodness the mainstream media provides such hard-hitting reporting about Balloon Boy, instead of ferreting out the tough stories like, umm, healthcare and the war(s) in Afghanistan and Iraq :evil:

  77. SIENA says:

    Wow Robotrix….are we on the same wave lenght?
    At the same time you said the same thing. fun.
    Still to fly with the flu NOT KOOL TO OTHERS OR HER.

    Hang out in NYC Mama, it will be raining all weekend and COLD too…stay in bed and get better soon.

  78. Juliet Hussein Bravo says:

    They could cut the silver foil balloon up and make souvenir hats to sell and cover the cost spent on the hoax…

  79. Robotrix says:

    #77 – They do dwell on silly stories too long…

    But people do need a laugh/distraction once in awhile…or our heads would explode from the stress.

  80. hullo

    Momma sounds like little horse this morning, Frau Blücher

  81. Dale says:

    Does anyone know the link to the Heene/Silver Wife Swap episode?

  82. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    So one kid is called Falcon…is another called Snowman?

  83. Robotrix says:

    Guess we are, Siena… :-)
    And nothing makes Screaming Babies scream more than when they start feeling sick…
    And they can then turn into Barfing Babies (aka Balloon Boy)

  84. Luther says:

    Hannity was still claiming something may have fallen off of the balloon possibly the child after 8pm on his radio show. In the meantime all other news reports were stating the child was found and most of the nonsense surrounding this event were being disclosed. Oh shiny!

  85. EW278 says:

    Finally – Pelosi is standing up. Finally.

  86. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Completely off-topic:
    A white US justice of the peace has been criticised for refusing to issue marriage licences to mixed-race couples.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8310509.stm
    I smell Republican running for Prez!

  87. Robotrix says:

    #83 = Yeah the kids have weird names…
    I blame Demi Moore, Penn Gillette, Nic Cage and Gwennith Paltrow…
    If these parents are bad for just (and there’s so much more to jump on their heads about) that there needs to be a raid by Child Services in Hollywood.
    Ironically, going by Jessica’s description (forcing the wife to hand out fliers) I think I saw that episode! The first and LAST time I tuned in because there was nothing else on.

  88. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    Good morning balloon bloggies and amateur storm chasers everywhere!

  89. EW278 says:

    # 87

    I predict an entry on Frangela’s Idiot of the Week list.

  90. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #88: don’t forget Moon Unit Zappa.

  91. thank you “Reasonalble People”!!!!

  92. Diseases Rethugs are prone to, continued from yesterday:
    festering, creeping, salacious and Mephitic,
    Necrotizing Narcissism and Psychopathia

  93. Robotrix says:

    #90 – And once again, we have to hear about this – and blatant racist judge in the US – from the BBC

  94. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #94: no sh*t, huh?

  95. Derrick says:

    Brine Shrimp

  96. shāf says:

    Won’t somebody please think of the shrimp?!

  97. Skyhawk says:

    90 & 94 – Actually it was on the AP wirw. Huffpo had the story:
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/15/interracial-couple-denied_n_322784.html

  98. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #94: Yeah MJ gets a month, Walter Cronkite gets a couple of days, the Balloonies (™ Nick) get a day, rascist judge…nada.

  99. Hiya. Bloggoes! :mrgreen:

    How are ya this “fine” snowy mornin’?

    I’mm looking for a few extraordiary corporations to sponsor the breaking up of all the trusts we gots in this country!

  100. Glen the Desk Clerk: Hey a$$holes, more a$$holes here

    [drop]

    I think that was actually the Senate Finance Committee…

    Thanks Producer Chris! I got me a shoutout!

  101. shāf says:

    #102 Yea, Mark! You haz a shoutout!

  102. EW278 says:

    Have a good weekend, everyone!

  103. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    No offence SkyHawk but HuffPost isn’t enough

  104. Robotrix says:

    FYI – Wal-Mart and Amazon are in a price war on some new titles. Right now the price for these is $9.
    Stephen King, “Under the Dome”
    Sarah Palin, “Going Rogue”
    James Patterson, “I, Alex Cross”
    JD Rodd, “Kingdom in Death”
    John Grisham, “Ford Country”
    Dean Koontz, “Breathless”
    Linda Howard, “Ice”
    The second title there they shouldn’t be able to GIVE that away….

  105. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    #1: “If Balloon Boy was a hoax, I’d like to see the parents get stuck with a huge bill, then maybe a visit from CO youth services.”

    Agreed, since Co. Youth Services are doing a heckuva job in South Park! (Not)

  106. Skyhawk says:

    Welcome to Cough Talk lines are open.

  107. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #107: Holy Moley! $9? Does that even cover costs??

  108. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    It’s ALWAYS about the children.

  109. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    I’m trying to find the story that Steph referred to — about an insurance company that canceled all people suffering from a certain illness.

  110. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    How is this guy still a judge? And why hasn’t this come up before?

  111. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    “Racism in this country is the exclusive province of the left” – actual Rush Limpbag quote.

  112. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    That was a prime example of the republican healthcare option. You choke – we watch.
    It’s fun!

  113. 107 — I’m all excited about #1 on this list. I love that guy.

  114. Flush is a blatant racist… so go ahead and sue somebody Rush,
    see how that works out for you, you fat bloated lying scumbag

  115. Oh, Trust me, anyone who listens to you knows from blind hatred, Rush

  116. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    I should be able to buy black people. It’s at the top of my list!

  117. scooter says:

    Just tuned in. So Courtney Love is guest-hosting today?

  118. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #122: ;)

  119. Robotrix says:

    #110 – Or maybe this just proves how little the physical printing of these books actually costs them that they can still make any profit at that price…

  120. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    Wow. 7.5 billion for Pakistan. No possible backlash for that!

    I asked a Pakistani friend which US presidents Pakistanis liked or disliked.

    He said, “We hate Eisenhower because he said, ‘giving Pakistan money is like pouring water on sand…’”

    He paused; I didn’t say anything, so he continued

    “…OK, it’s true. But he shouldn’t have said it. We hate him.”

  121. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #122: or Dale Bozzio. She did just get streeted.

  122. Robotrix says:

    #118 – Racism aside. Since they drug test the players shouldn’t known drug addicts be banned from owning teams too?

  123. shāf says:

    Any sausage?

  124. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #124: I thought most stuff was still printed in Canada…although a few books (read: graphic novels) say ‘printed in china’.

  125. yep. I wonder if we’re supposed to be hearing this!

  126. #124, right-wing books aren’t about profit, they’re about peddling ideology. Same with right-wing newspapers, which are huge money-sinks.

    They’re bankrolled by rich-righties as part of their propaganda program.

  127. Old “F Troop” drop “It Is Balloon!”, Chief Wild Eagle

  128. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    Can anyone help me find the story Steph was referring — the one about the company canceling everybody with a disorder.

  129. Robotrix says:

    Uh oh….I called Rebecca “Jessica” earlier…
    SORRY! :-(

  130. I’m so sad for Steph, a whole week in new york and she’s sick.

  131. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    PeterW,

    Money vs ideology — even after all these years, I still don’t know which motivates the right wing media people more. Surely it’s a mix of both.

  132. shāf says:

    Mama, you’re always shiny! ;)

  133. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    Did she say she’s shiny? What does that mean?

  134. Did I just hear Firefly slang? Awesome reference, Steph!

  135. #139, you gotta spend money to make money. Spend money on right-wing propaganda, get deregulatory loons into office, make money.

  136. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #135: goto the Countdown w/Keith Olbermann site. He does a whole piece about. And probably will again tonight.
    Here is A link: http://www.insurancenewsnet.com/article.asp?a=top_lh&id=110815

  137. Robotrix says:

    Will Today really let him barf on the West Coast now that they have time to edit it out?

  138. #142, yeah, that’s ruttin’ awesome. But it’s what makes Mama’s show the best one in the ‘Verse. Well, other than the Oaty Bar commercial.

  139. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    >> Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:
    >> #124: I thought most stuff was still printed in Canada…

    I used to get stuff printed in Canada since I distributed bother there and here.

    It was all about duties — I had to pay a lot to get my stuff _to_ Canada but the US let Canadian items in free.

    Totally unfair but that was it.

  140. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Yeah Madduane I thought that I heard that too!

  141. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    In that “it was for the show” video clip, the dad’s reaction was even more indicting than what the boy said.

  142. I gotta go out and find the thing for the humidifier… will
    miss ya

  143. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #144: sorry not a link to Countdown. I just did a search for “MS NY insurance cancelled”

  144. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    I think Steph sounds like Dr. Laura, especially when the good Dr. is back chain smoking.

  145. Deb says:

    Morning bloggos.

    If the balloon boy family did this as a way to get some money, at least they weren’t out robbing banks or ATM’s!

  146. shāf says:

    #142 I didn’t think she was a Firefly/Serenity fan. Maybe it’s a “Shiny Happy People” reference.

    Falcon, if you’re going to spew, spew here.

  147. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    WHY DID YOU PLAY THAT?????

  148. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Baloonie daddy must be a republican. Or a Libertarian. You puke-we watch.

  149. Rocky Mountain High, Colorado says:

    I think the kid is making a physical commentary.

  150. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    Nick,

    Thanks for the link! I didn’t know what state it was in.

    Unless there is a devil in the details, this is the perfect story for the need of healthcare.

  151. Robotrix says:

    From what I remember of that episode of “Wife Swap” he wouldn’t have helped his kid or cleaned that up even if he wasn’t talking on TV…
    That’s “Woman’s Work”….
    If Mom wasn’t there…”Sit in it, Kid. She’ll be back.”

  152. 159 — they all kinda looked like they were in an outer circle of hell. That’ll teach you to do something for the show.

  153. There was a Japanese comedian in the early ’90s who had a monkey in his act. When he’d say “Bush-san! Bush-san!” the monkey would pretend to barf.

    Pedal-bar?

    I’ve seen the six-person circular bikes in NYC. Sounds like they added a bar to the thing.

    I wautch the news too.

  158. David in Maine says:

    OY! Larry get some facts!!!

  159. shāf says:

    Caller, get your facts straight or STFU.

  160. Deb says:

    As a republican you are not open to facts, information, reality…

  161. David in Maine says:

    Really caller, ????

  162. scooter says:

    #166 Jill St. John, Susan St. James, Eva Marie Saint, women were just alot more saintly when I was a kid.

  163. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Doesn’t watch mainstream news but he watches Fox.
    Dolt.

  164. Deb says:

    Yo dude – Cluster Fox considers itself mainstream and believe it or not, actual news.

  165. shāf says:

    Okay, I’m bored. This cat-toy is chewed up and needs to be dumped.

  166. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    He cares because Rush told him to care.

  167. The film Mark Cuban produced was Redacted, about the ACTUAL rape, murder, and burning of a 14 year-old Iraqi girl by US troops.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0937237/synopsis

    Can’t speak to the artistic liberties taken by the film, but if the US Military doesn’t want disparaging remarks about soldiers raping, killing, and burning teenaged girls, maybe they shouldn’t rape, kill, and burn teenaged girls.

  168. Kat says:

    This guy is missing the obvious. Rush said on ESPN that the media was overstating Donovan McNabb’s abilities because the NFL was desperate for a black quarterback to be a star. That’s a clear, unvarnished fact. I’ve had to listen to that vomitous statement repeatedly again this week.

    And the Mark Cuban film was “Stoploss”, if I’m not mistaken.

  169. The movie was “Redacted” and as someone who has spent 30 months in Iraq I can tell you it was pretty straight forward and true to life. Republicans seem to have a problem facing the reality that war is not a fucking Ronald Reagan/John Wayne movie, it’s a little more bloody, dirty and gritty.

  170. shāf says:

    #179 God bless her (Lily St. Cyr)

  171. Wow, caller! You came out against slavery! Pretty controversial!

  172. David in Maine says:

    Mama, we’re done with this idiot. He has no point other than the lies from Faux News

  173. Kat says:

    Peter: Thanks for the correct film. There have been a few that these right-wing tools have objected to, so I wasn’t sure which it was. Thanks for the link to IMDB.

  174. shāf says:

    Let him finish! Let him finish!

    Gawd, what an idiot!

  175. Deb says:

    Time to hang up…bye, bye.

  176. David in Maine says:

    Raising his voice: a sign of a right wing tool

  177. Skyhawk says:

    Sounds like Ross Perot. Can I finish? May I finish?

  178. People are having a hard time sourcing that quote, Jim. We should be a bit wary about it.

  179. scooter says:

    Calls from smart funny liberal listeners usually last about ten seconds, but then a RW loons dials the phone . . .

  180. Kat says:

    Didn’t Marge Schott get suspended by Major League Baseball for suggesting that Hitler had his good points? But Limbaugh should get a pass from the NFL for saying slavery had its good points???

  181. Skyhawk says:

    193 – Thank you! I was just thinking the same thing.

  182. The movie Redacted was about the Army not Marines. They have their scandals they have to answer for, no need to pile the Army’s on top of them too.

  183. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Ok now that Idiot McAsshat is gone…Momma will you at least be wearing a mask during your flight?

  184. Skyhawk says:

    Scottzi or John from Amherst ought to be calling in soon.

  185. my pooer's dad says:

    Rush also said watching an NFL game was like watching the Bloods and Crips but without the guns – I wonder what doesn’t sound racist to the caller about that? And I’m sure the NFL would love to have an owner with an attitude like that towards its players.

  186. Robotrix says:

    Of course he’s against slavery. There wouldn’t be free Black people here now if there hadn’t been slavery…
    Whatever happened to “If you’re dumb, you die”?

  187. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #192: actually I’m pretty proud of that caller. Not for his views but that he was able to dial with his head up his ass. and he sounded SO clear speaking thought his hood. Ah technology.

  188. Obamarules says:

    The caller just made our point…if Rush were named Joe and he wasn’t outspoken…he wouldn’t have gotten the attention from Sharpton…and he would have gotten the team.

    Right – he was judged on HIS merits, or lack there of, not on the basis that he is a rich, white conservative.

  189. shāf says:

    #201 Must have been using a wireless headset and had Mama on speed dial.

  190. Obamarules says:

    Mama in NY

    Rachel in NY

    Mama sick

    Rachel sick

    Mama and Rachel lesbo lovers?????????

  191. ‘Whatever happened to “If you’re dumb, you die”?’

    That’s that Teddy Roosevelt progressivism we’ve heard so much about.

  192. David in Maine says:

    204: something to ponder

  193. Aja says:

    “Rush’s need to own black people” LOL!!!
    Amen, caller!

  194. Ron "McLovin" Luce says:

    >> scooter says:
    >> #166 Jill St. John, Susan St. James, Eva Marie Saint, women were just alot more saintly when I was a kid.

    I’ve long wondered if those those where stage names thought up by goofy agents. All where fabulous women, anyway.

    BTW, I Googled it and realized that it was Susan St. James who I had such a crush on when I was a kid. Can’t blame me for getting confused!

  195. So now I’m thinking that child protective services does need to get involved. That kid is scared & distressed & his parents apparently don’t give a good g*d d*mn.

  196. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Was Momma kissing Rachael? Is that what you’re implying (or inferring or whatever)?

  197. Luther says:

    Rush manufactured this whole thing for money and ratings and does not really care as long as he gets paid and people are talking about him which they are. This does not alter the fact that he looks like that dude in the pig sticking scene from Deliverence the Movie. Also, any news on the Sean Hannity Frotting addiction?

  198. #207, the article has a disclaimer at the top saying the same thing I did – the quote first appears in a book criticizing Rush, and people are still trying to verify it.

    Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if the audio turns up, Rush’s denials notwithstanding, but we should be cautious about it until it’s better sourced.

  199. Robotrix says:

    “‘Whatever happened to “If you’re dumb, you die”?’

    That’s that Teddy Roosevelt progressivism we’ve heard so much about.”

    No. It’s the basis of “Survival of the Fittest”, Natural Selection, improving the gene pool and The Darwin Awards http://www.darwinawards.com/

  200. #212, it certainly took the spotlight off Glenn Beck for a while, didn’t it? I imagine Rush was chafing under Beck’s newfound prominence.

    Actually, he’s so fat, I imagine Rush chafes doing anything.

  201. Kat says:

    If Rush were “Joe” Limbaugh (what is the Right Wing’s obsession with guys named “Joe”? “Joe” the Plumber…Joe Wilson…) and not a famous radio blowhard, he wouldn’t have had the money needed to have been a part of a bid to buy an NFL team, making that intellectual exercise a moot point.

  202. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Frotting. there’s a word that just isn’t used enough.

    Although coupled w/Sean Hannity it becomes nauseating.

  203. Deb says:

    #216 – Joe is supposed to be “every man”, the regular down home all American guy. Their version of it anyway…

  204. shāf says:

    “Everyone knows Cindy McCain is the alien from V

    Allegedly. (Whew, glad we added that!)

  205. Deb says:

    Steph is a phelgm monster this morning…she sounds like she’s getting ready to hack up a big hair ball. I can relate Steph.

  206. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Joe.
    Whatever happened to Tom, Dick & Harry?
    Joe.
    So unappealing-sounding.

  207. shāf says:

    #220 she sounds like she’s getting ready to hack up a big hair ball.

    And we thought she was a ‘dog person’.

  208. Deb says:

    Now if we could just get wimpy Harry on board…

  209. They can call the average guy “Joe” because nobody remembers this

  210. Robotrix says:

    #218 – Of course, a lot of these regular “Joes” out there are just as – or some times more – racist than Limbaugh and yet a lot of them own businesses and have employees effected by their decisions…

  211. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Harry Reid is an anotomic marvel walking around without a backbone.

  212. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #224: OMG I had completely forgotten that film.

  213. Rush was kicked out of the consortium, caller. He didn’t pull out.

  214. Amy Outside of DC says:

    It’s an example of the free market. It’s not the government that said he couldn’t buy the team, the other potential owners kicked him out of the group. Consumer choice at its finest.

  215. scooter says:

    #209 Well, Eva Marie Saint was the most enduring actor of the bunch and pretty hot too during the North by Northwest era. Jill St. John was just eye-candy, but she was pretty good with Sean Connery in Diamonds are Forever.

    But it was Susan St. James that every straight red-blooded schoolboy [including me]was in lust with during the late 60’s, especially when she was hanging around with that totally non-threatening Rock Hudson guy. Susan St. James is just one of those women that looks great from cradle to grave.

  216. Deb says:

    #224 – Peter Boyle is one of my favorite actors and that was a break out role for him. Horrible character though and way too relatable for some folks out there.

  217. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    “rush pulled out…”?
    Isn’t that from his little south american trip??

  218. Deb says:

    I love that it showed Rush there IS a limit to his money, his power and his influence!

  219. #229, PR is an important part of business. Businesses and owner groups have to consider the PR angle. That’s the market at work.

  220. 231 — well, that was the point, really… The average american conservative dude was supposed to relate to Boyle’s character and then end up totally creeped out.

  221. Kat says:

    #232 – That trip was to the Dominican Republic

  222. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #236: Thanks. I couldn’t remember where exactly he went.

  223. Deb says:

    #231 – or they ended up saying “he’s a real American!”. Peter said people came up to him in the street and said they LIKED the character, the felt he was just another misunderstood angry white guy.

  224. Robotrix says:

    Yes, Dominican Republic….where the main sex market is underaged boys.
    Make sure we get that right.

  225. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    #224: Archie Bunker writ large.

  226. Deb says:

    We’re seeing the outer effects of Dorian Gray where Rush is concerned.

  227. I want my constitutionally guaranteed professional football team.

  228. Deb says:

    #239 I know. Frightening, but I’m always shocked at how many people like that are still out there!

  229. shāf says:

    …or a Racist Seven-Layer Salad.

  230. Deb says:

    Waste of a good song on someone crummy like Rush

  231. Shane-O says:

    there is certainly no right to own a franchise – which, by definition, has the reverse right – the right to exclude (as it is a licensing agreement, in part)

    And now, the clip…

  233. my pooer's dad says:

    “Hey MFer, bring me some iced tea.”

  234. Robotrix says:

    Bill O’Reilly’s grandmother had “never met a Black person”????
    Do they keep her in the basement…in the fruit cellar? How is that even possible?

  235. O’Reilly was just confusing Sylvia’s with Samuel L’s.

  236. 246 — I can’t even imagine a meeting between Ruch Limbaugh and Chrissie Hynde. I think someone would come away from that exchange missing a face, and it wouldn’t be Chrissie.

  237. Deb says:

    I’ve been to Slyvia’s in the Bronx…cool place with an amazing history. The original lunch counter from the 40’s is still there and the Sylvia family – another American success story.

  238. Deb says:

    Sorry, Sylvia’s is not in the Bronx, it’s Harlem.

  239. Deb says:

    Hey Coulter – try getting some facts right. Oh yeah…your a repug so that’s not possible.

  240. Amy Outside of DC says:

    Wow, Ann Coulter can rewrite history like nobody else.

  241. Coulter was confusing George Soros with George Walker (and Prescott Bush).

  242. Robotrix says:

    Coulter…”Nazi collaborators”? You really want to open THAT can of worms (Prescott Bush, Ah-nuld’s family in Austria)

  243. k to the g says:

    Morning all! BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh has lifted off in a GIANT balloon headed for NFL headquarters. In a related story, Sarah Palin mistook the balloon for a giant Putinhead and has begun firing on it.

  244. Robotrix says:

    252 – I thought Chrissy Hyde sued Limbaugh for using her song…guess she lost. Too bad.

  245. shāf says:

    Who’s plugging their cans where?

  246. k to the g says:

    and nice Selma Diamond impression, Steph

  247. Amy Outside of DC says:

    Nice, Snopes smackdown for Coulter.

  248. shāf says:

    Hey, we’ll sound surprised when we hear it again.

  249. Deb says:

    Oh I loved Selma Diamond!! She was great. Also the lady that played Joey’s agent on Friends – Steph sounds like her too.

  250. Robotrix says:

    259 – Sorry…NO balloon is that big.
    Although Rushbo has enough hot air in him to fill it….

  251. Amy Outside of DC says:

    #263 Aww, remember how Bull cried after Selma died? Her character was funny, but it’s also tinged with sadness cause I know she’s gonna die.

  252. shāf says:

    Thimerisol was the preservative that some blamed for causing autism. It is no longer used in vaccines.

  253. Jim, that vaccine thing’s been debunked. First they blamed the mercury-based preservative, then they blamed vaccine cocktails. The anti-vaccine loons have just decided on the culprit, without any evidence or even a plausible mechanism (which is why their story keeps changing).

  254. #267, yes, there are balloons that can lift Rush: http://www.csbf.nasa.gov/

    Barely.

  255. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    Steph’s flight home: Shakes on a Plane.

  256. k to the g says:

    Hey, Trailer Trash News! New feature on SMS?

  257. Deb says:

    People will be asking the flight crew if there is another seat they can moved too so they don’t have to sit next to the coughing/hacking lady. But the flight will be full and it will be over 5 hours long….

  258. Amy Outside of DC says:

    That’s the problem with small towns. The neighbors you victimize just happen to be family.

  259. Beez says:

    I just got a funny mental/aural image, watching the balloon landing replay and the rescuers chopping it open, releasing the helium. I am imagining them all talking in helium voices. Silly, I know, but this is the Stephanie MIller show!

  260. Amy Outside of DC says:

    14 year old Nazi? Isn’t that the same age the pope was in the Hitler Youth? Answer that, Coulter with the giant cross around your neck.

  261. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    She’s a Flem-e-nazi, my friends!

  262. #275, they’d make Steph fly out on the wing, but they’re afraid it’ll freak out Shatner again.

  263. shāf says:

    #277 I would have loved to have been there to hear their helium-saturated voices say “What the f*ck?”

  264. Robotrix says:

    BTW…someone mentioned vaccinations.
    Why are people who are pro-vaccines so upset about people who don’t want their kids vaccinated..? They say the un-vaccinated kids put their kids at risk…
    Why? That’s the point of the vaccines, isn’t it? To protect the kids from carriers. If your kid is vaccinated they’re safe from un-vaccinated kids, right?
    Maybe the un-vaccinated kids getting sick adds to the health care issues in this country and it keeps diseases from “dying out” (assuming they ever do – small pox still exists out there).

  265. #282, unvaccinated kids are potentially the carriers and incubators of vaccine-resistant strains.

  266. They’ll probably have the Hazmat unit at LAX waiting for Momma’s flight!!

  267. k to the g says:

    277. That’s funny. They’d all be Terry Jeffries

  268. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    Just wait…Rush will be a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade float.

  269. Amy Outside of DC says:

    #282 Maybe it’s a general concern for the well being of children? Sure it’s not your kid barely breathing through the whooping cough, but who wants to see any child struggling to breathe?

  270. k to the g says:

    I’m guessing the flight attendants will conspire to “fix” a drink of some kind for our Steph.

  271. Beez says:

    Voice guy should do a bit.

  272. Robotrix says:

    286 – I get the sling shot franchise.

    #288 – I’m telling ya, shot of brandy or bourbon in some hot tea. Works everytime.

  277. shāf says:

    #289 Jim did a bit on the Goodyear blimp springing a leak (in the style of the Hindenburg disaster).

    I love the smell of Sparta in the morning!

  280. Deb says:

    I’ve had Keneau on going to JFK. He slept the whole time and looked like he’d had a long rough night out before getting on his flight.

  281. Skyhawk says:

    I balloon for Sparta!

  282. Deb says:

    Wow a skyhawk and a balloon on the sparta. Good shot!

  283. Amy Outside of DC says:

    Again with the Spartahawk. :smile:

  284. shāf says:

    Huzzah to Skyhawk! *bows*

  285. k to the g says:

    Skyhawk with a balloon on the liveblog. Bonza!

  286. scooter says:

    I missed the balloon-boy story completely, in fact didn’t even hear about it until 9PM last night. But when I read about it in the Denver Post it only confirmed what I’ve been thinking for awhile, that Colorado may have more nutbergers per capita than Florida.

  287. 308 — what do you do for excitement in Ft. Collins, anyway?

  288. Deb says:

    #308 I heard about it at dinner last night with some friends. It’s definitely getting even more interesting now though!

  289. k to the g says:

    Jinda-loo is berry bad man

  290. Luther says:

    #217 Sean Hannity had a “man in the street” frotting episode that was hushed up by F**ked News. He has since been in counseling. I would not get in an elevator with him.

    The NFL isn’t capitalist either, they rely on public money to build their stadiums. Look at the $1B Dallas stadium.

  295. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    Wow – another Clear Channel snafu.

  296. shāf says:

    Bye, Steph. Safe travels! See you Monday.

  297. flombaye says:

    with the freeway shooters rampantly taking people out from some well-concealed van, truck, or car trunk, it didnt seem necessary to call and remind police that part of that set is “car trunks”. but as it turned out, it was necessary.

    with 3 days projection to landfall, and hurricane katrina pointed at beaumont, about to follow the tried and true curvature established by decades of hurricane tracking, it didnt seem necessary to remind anybody that it was about to park and grind right on the delta and overpower the nominal levy at pontchartrain. – and yet apparently, it was necessary.

    with a missing scared six year old boy presumably in a situation to think like a scared six year old boy, it didnt seem necessary to remind anybody to at least search the attic …. oh, yes, in a manner as thoe somebody who might be hiding there may not want to be found.
    – maybe borrow a k-9 unit as if the child matters. and yet….

    my blonde.

  298. Safe trip Steph! I hope your head congestion doesn’t give you fits what with the popping ears and stuff. Last time I flew was just painful, painful, painful.

  299. Robotrix says:

    #297 – Looked it up. Turns out as long as Limbaugh doesn’t alter the song in any way and pays the broadcast fees…she can’t do a thing.
    Still don’t understand how the decision Gilbert O’Sullivan won about sampling recordings without permission couldn’t be used in some way but…I’m not a lawyer.

  300. scooter says:

    #308 Well, it’s been awhile since someone welded steel plates all over a bulldozer and started knocking down buildings along Main Street.

  301. k to the g says:

    Clear Channel is bringing in hazmat team to ready the studio for next show.

  302. flombaye says:

    i know that robert duvall failed the audition to join the ramones, but did his mother know that he was a boo radley ?

  303. Deb says:

    #321 – I think it’s the Steph show that is choosing that song whenever they do a Rush bit. I can imagine Chrissy wants to gag everytime she hears her tuned played with Rush pontificating.

  304. flombaye says:

    i was loving the voice. where’s here dotter, melissa ?

  305. Mama’s seat smells of Hal Sparks.

  306. Robotrix says:

    #319 – They did search the house…and called to him.
    Maybe he wasn’t really in the attic as he’s been told to say?
    Maybe that’s why he’s got this sudden case of puking? Stressed much, Kid?

  307. k to the g says:

    :mrgreen: Rush gyrating

  308. Tossing people out of houses for stadiums is a Texas tradition. Dubya did it when he owned the Rangers. Then he sold the land, rather than using it for parking as he claimed he was going to do.

  309. flombaye says:

    329: have they found out anything good about the kid’s parents yet ?

  310. Deb says:

    Again…hoisted on their own petard!! Love it!

  311. flombaye says:

    a BIG bitch. watch your language please.

  312. Robotrix says:

    #312 – But Steph wouldn’t use it if it wasn’t Limbaugh’s signature tune.

  313. Deb says:

    No he’s whining like a little fat boy that didn’t get his way.

  314. flombaye says:

    331: give the little bitch a break. he’s allergic to truth.

  315. 331 — longstanding sports tradition, and one of the reasons I’m not a sports fan. Ever hear of Chavez Ravine?

    john an chovy.

    cool.

  320. shāf says:

    Hell yeah, John! I had (and still have) issues with the Big Dog selling out on Media Ownership, DOMA, DADT.

  321. flombaye says:

    why would anybody try to connect rush with something american ?

  322. Shane-O says:

    #335 – I’m pretty sure that performance rights organizations (like ASCAP and BMI) collect $$ from shows like Rush’s and the SMS — for the use of music in their catalogs – thus the shows pay for use of copyrighted material and the owners/writers of the music get distributions from the orgs

  323. Deb says:

    Yeah but what does that say about the Miss America pagent people?

  324. Robotrix says:

    Do people watch Miss America pageants?

  325. #347, with the sound off or not at all.

  326. Deb says:

    But they also don’t have any problem with sending other peoples kids to fight an illegal invasion either.

  327. flombaye says:

    348: even frank sinatra can be tolerable with the sound off (as long as you can be sure that he’s not attempting to warble either).

  328. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    #258: Watched “Capitalism: A Love Story” last night. Ah-nold was in there for 3 seconds saying something to the effect that he left Austria to get away from socialism. Damned liar.

    at least there was evidence that mohammed atta’s meeting in niger with saddam hussein was causing cancer.

  334. Robotrix says:

    348 – Can’t you see the same amount of pretty girls in various states of dress on MTV any time you want to?

  335. 355 — It’s all about the Spike Jonze thing for me at this point.

  336. flombaye says:

    355: makes a perfect double feature companion with “tequila mockingbird” starring gregory peck and raul julia.

  337. shāf says:

    John, best back-handed complement evar!

  338. flombaye says:

    357: it’s different. the ones on MTV all started out as girls.
    look at carrie prejean.

  339. Deb says:

    that was a compliment?? :-)

  340. shāf says:

    Jim, how dare you talk about OUR SAVIOR like that! *snickers*

  341. flombaye says:

    360: was it lennon and mccartney that came up with that best ambidextrous compliment ever ?
    “i want to hold your breasts !”

  342. k to the g says:

    “Capitalism” is a classic. Poor Michael looks tired by the end. We need to get out in the streets and pick up the torch he’s handing us.

  343. PJ Squeezy Louise Hussein McFlavin says:

    She was a little bit disgusted!

  344. Robotrix says:

    #354 – My cousin was a college player…
    Unless it makes them money or gets them laid, most NFL players aren’t aware of much.

  345. Nick (somewhere in the æther) says:

    OK I admit it: I like boobies. There I said it.

  346. Deb says:

    #364 – or the line from Otter in Animal House to Karen Allen’s character – “can I massage your thigh?”.

  347. k to the g says:

    Rush got thrown out of the Big Boys’ Club – it’s all about his bruised ego.

  348. Deb says:

    #369 – Oops. Not Karen Allen, another girl he was after. Anywho, that was a weird line, but still kinda funny.

  349. #357, the undress is not the point. The fact that beauty pagents with no sound are effin’ hilarious is. The silliness is magnified by the silence.

  350. shāf says:

    Yep, I have no problem with Meghan posting her picture. It’s her right.

  351. Amy Outside of DC says:

    Caller is wrong. Some tank tops are cut high and some are cut low. She could have been wearing a tank top that didn’t reveal most of her boobs. Such things do exist. Just because you have big boobs doesn’t mean you must show cleavage.

  352. Deb says:

    #373 – spoken like a true guy! :-)

  353. shāf says:

    Thanks for holding down the fort John! Always a pleasure.

  354. my pooer's dad says:

    Oh come on. Ann talks about how she’s more a man than liberals. She brings it upon herself.

  355. shāf says:

    Have a great weekend, everybody!

  356. k to the g says:

    Bye all! Kepp your balloons tethered.

  357. Skyhawk says:

    Have a good weekend everyone!

  358. k to the g says:

    or keep…whatever

  359. Robotrix says:

    Last word on that book sale – Amazon vs Wal Mart.

    WSJ says they’re both losing $7 to $8 on each book at that price.

    So, just this once – buy Wal Mart.

  360. bill says:

    Mr. Heene. I was reminded of a character with a similar sounding name, Dr. Haney on “Green Acres”. Both tricksters.
