I, too, have been troubled by no mention of Jim…maybe Janice is unwell and he’s home, still recording, but not coming in? He is sorely missed.

On the three-way in upstate New York – oh yes now a two- way, I’m thinking that Newt’s peculiar loss of bluster in the scuffle over Scozzafava’s campaign probly resulted from the extreme plundering he received at the business end of Sarah’s strap-on – she’s manning up like nobody’s business for this meteoric rise as Facebook celeb, dontcha think?

Will reincarnate as BuddyJr if it’s OK w/ you. Wadda happy puppy. Zoomed in on the picture to get a better view of his nose and found it obscured by the tag – oh, that wasn’t his nose, I got lost in the closeup. Cud you maybe repost that delightful picture at a little higher resolution?

Just askin,

Steph,

FYI, Progressive Talk Radio (KMPT) has been “Thrown off the bus” in Missoula Montana, and you have been replaced by right-wing whackos such as Michael Savage !! Which right-wing organization ( ‘ya think? ) has paid GAPWEST Communications to do this ?? I signed up for their new blog as “PissedProgressive” and given them a piece of… (my mind)

To counteract the Randian crap there needs to be a production of “The Cradle Will Rock”.

Re: “the number of pages” ofthe healthcare bill…

Last August, I attended one of those Rightwing town halls, where they complained about how long HR3200 was (over 1000 pages).

THEN

They complained about the fact “The Hyde Amendment” wasn’t mentioned in the bill.

So which is it? Is the bill too long or too short? Don’t complain that the bill is “too long” while complaining that it doesn’t duplicate and/or mention existing law in that same bill.

You know, it’s possible that Jim’s just down with the pig plague or something. Remember, Steph brought crud back with her from NYC.

There is a new bio of Ayn Rand. When do all of the Fox people have a Ayn-Randian orgy live on Hannity?

I only wish that Jim Ward were here to share this moment with me.
Thank you all

If “Sock” gets a jingle, Zach needs to get one too. Your homework for today (should you choose to accept it) is to write one – something along the lines of (but better than):

Next time you get the urge to dial the 2-0-2,
Just spare a thought for those who have to talk to you-ooh,
They’re just poor interns, so be polite,
They get abuse from left and right,
So pick up your phone, and speed-dial Zach!
He’ll… be… right… back!
