sparks• Comedian Hal Sparks joins us in studio at 8:05am Pacific for another edition of “Humpdays with Hal.”

• Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said yesterday that while he’s “strongly inclined” to vote to move Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-NV) health care plan with an opt-out public option to the Senate floor for debate, he would ultimately oppose the measure and join a GOP filibuster because it includes that option.

• The White House said yesterday that President Obama has nearly finished gathering information and advice on how to proceed in Afghanistan. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that a planned meeting on Friday with the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be among the last events in the decision-making process.

The FAA has revoked the licenses of the two Northwest Airlines pilots who flew a passenger jet past their Minneapolis destination by 150 miles last week. They had violated numerous regulations, including failing to comply with air traffic control instructions and clearances and operating carelessly and recklessly.

#293: It's possible that it COST more than Yankee Stadium.

Did the rocket go off today? Is it possible for it to crash into Yankee Stadium?

I wish these Rupbs would stop queefing & do something good for the country as a whole for a change.
Be seeing you!

Bye everybody! Be healthy as you can to spite the bastiges.

One more cup of coffee and back for SPARTA.

"wicked queea" doesn't mean what it used to mean in Maine. No suh.

SPARTA's so near, yet so far

Republicans = Party of Death

#285 - he's a sour puss that's for sure

#278: it where you suck so hard your face crumples in on itself.
And Bill-o certainly does suck.

Grampy, you're supposed to sing it, not say it.

A shout out to Steve Martin. Alright Hal!

Steph, douche on line 2 for you. Cover yourself.

Dammit! Everyone is a biter today. Bastards all!

#277 - what is a lemon party??

Bill O'Reilly got caught at a Lemon Party last week. GOD is he wrinkled!

Good thing Dubya is there to help us get motivated.

I'd hate to have to go LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

Gawd. Give Bush his ruggie and shut him up.

I'll give Glenn Beck something to cry about.

Hal knows a lot.

Does Hal even know how hard it is to play banjo properly while kicking bad-guy ass!?

Hey, can we kick the Nutmeg State in the nuts til they expel Joe?

Rethuglicans!

The Sound of A Republican Suck-Hole choking...music to my ears.

Again, folks, that kind of filibuster doesn't exist.

#174: I like playing guess-the-pothead while watching our local happy, dancing weather-persons and teleprompter-reading hairdos.

All the hee-ha states need it the most.

watch and see how many blue dogs dems join Lieberman

#oops - meant Hal, not John....

#255 - great idea but the repugs would just yell because that's all they know how to do.

I'm so sick of Jon and Kate - I've boycotted the whole thing and I still can't get away from it!

No Chris it DOES NOT look like Rio. Rio had artwork. Tool.

what's the difference between a porn pilot and a palm pilot?

30,000 feet and one hand?

Now-Senator Al Franken once took part in a (FIRING LINE?) liberals-vs.-conservatives debate. Decades later, it's time for a rematch, perhaps on pay-per-view. Rachel Maddow vs. Ann Coulter, Keith Olbermann vs. Bill O'Reilly, Thom Hartmann vs. Michael Medved, Mike Malloy vs. Mark Levine, Stephanie Miller vs. Mary Matilin, Ed Schultz vs. Rush Limbaugh, Lionel vs. Sean Hannity, Gore Vidal vs. Newt Gingrich, (President) Al Gore vs. Senator Inskeep.

Does Beck even realize that EVERY modern cellphone has a GPS in it, so that it can locate its transceiver links? I doubt it, Beck is a dumb ass.

Michele Bachmann is an ultra religious nut.. all her views are guided by the insane teachings of pentecostal preacher Mac Hammond. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if she's got some wild sex life going in DC. You know... the fundy Christians ussually do.

#251: wow those hurt!

Three cornered rulers. Across the knuckles..

#249: just kidding blog.

Wow. Steph is a douche. A lying douche.

No paddles ... strictly rulers. Or a bag of oranges - they don't leave a mark.

At least you got a "dear" in the letter.

Jim could call Zach and pretend to be Joe Lieberman ...
