LiveBlog for Wednesday, November 4, 2009
• Karl Frisch, Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America, calls in at 7:05am Pacific to co-host Right Wing World.
• Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) calls in at 7:33am Pacific to talk about health care reform, the economy, and yesterday’s elections.
• Hal Sparks joins us in studio at 8:05am Pacific for another edition of “Humpdays with Hal.”
• Republicans won gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey yesterday, two states that had backed President Obama last year. Dem Bill Owens beat Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in upstate New York. Opponents of gay marriage claimed a victory in Maine, but voters approved an “everything but marriage” law in Washington State that greatly expands the rights of gay couples.
• In a blow to the White House, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) signaled yesterday that Congress may fail to meet a year-end deadline for passing health care legislation, leaving the measure’s fate to the uncertainties of the 2010 election season.
• Republicans boycotted the start of committee debate yesterday on a bill to curb greenhouse gases, protesting that the bill’s costs have not been fully examined. The action put a spotlight on the difficulties Dem leaders face in moving climate legislation this year.

Good morning and Happy Humpday, everyone!
Wow, no morning meetings today. Looks like I can listen live (LIVE?) play along with y’alls.
After seeing the results of state propositions in Ohio and across the country, I’m comforted by the notion that despite the voice of the (m)asses, we’ll get up and go about our business of living our lives.
BTW, I still don’t understand how the rights of a minority can be decided by a majority vote.
#2 I think that the majority of young Americans ARE overwhelmingly in favor of gay marriage, but it’s those dagnab oldsters that keep flooding the polls. Like you and other devotees of the SMS, I’m also puzzled why this is even a voteable issue. The discrimination against the gays is so blatant in this regard that one would think the courts would be forcing legislatures to write favorable laws right and left.
Happy Halday. Hope Jim is OK, whatever the reason. I suspect he’s involved in a big TV or movie project paying the big bucks he so richly deserves.
#3 I’m assuming the best of Jim’s absence (i.e. that his Emmy is opening doors for other projects). I do miss his banter with Steph and Chris, I must say.
2: as john wilkes booth explained, he’s not a violent man; shooting abraham lincoln was just a sensible expedient of method of making lincoln get dead. making lincoln get dead was a a fully unavoidable necessity because of the clear and present danger which lincoln posed against the god-given profit margins of slavery. wilkes was emphatic that the right to own slaves is on of the most very basic of human rights. – unfortunately, wilkes can not be with us to defend these ideas in today’s loveblog, but perhaps virginia fox will appear.
Good morning, sinners!
I wasn’t able to listen yesterday. What IS going on with Jim’s absence? I have to say that Jim not only adds his banter and wonderful array of voices, but I miss his comic writing and his more grounded view of politics. He actually adds some gravitas to political discussion.
I find that there are some aspects to the show which are not so transparent. When a previous Boston station carrying the show was going to go under, they forbid mention of it on the air. When they previously dropped Right Wing World, they wouldn’t allow talk about that either.
I love the show and am a year-long subscriber, but there are those little things that sometimes bother me.
and now for something completely different:
WALKENIZED rabbit hunting.
SILLY ENGLISH KNNN-IGGT 1: maybe we can put about a gallon of marie callender ice cream on his head, and let his own tongue slap his brain out without quarter, nay, without the least sign of mercy.
SILLY ENGLISH KNNN-IGGT 2: okay, here’s the part where i would say you’ve got a screw loose, but this being england, i have to call you something known as “daft”. or it could just be that you’re a loony. that’s ridiculous. marie callender would never sell that much ice cream to a gelatinous planetoid such as yourself.
SIR GAWAIN: well, perhaps we could sort of borrow the holy hand grenade.
SIR GARTH: you know, you’re not really as raised on an exclusive diet of red paint chips as you look. that could do some serious damage to mister peter up you tail over there…. the holy hand grenade of antioch….. party on, gawain !
BROTHER MAYNARD: lo ! and while you lo, also behold. i figgered you boys could use a little bit of ecclesiastical munitions guidance in a moment of crisis such as this…. (to be continued)
So when does Fox Skews™ start saying that this electin cycle is the beginning of the end of Obama’s socialistic takeover?
#8: speaking of Walken did you see the clip of him reading Lady Gaga’s Pokerface? Hi-larious!
#5 The banter between all three really make the show. Jim bits are made more funny by Mama snickering in the background, Chris’s laugh breaks the tension, Jim’s off-the-wall quips keeps things moving along. Actually though, I think the suffers most when Chris is gone!
Earlier I looked at Steph’s yearbook pictures. In the first she’s dressed like a manzanita bush or something and in the second she’s apparently naked, surrounded by a leaning oval and staring at maybe a distant neon light advertising beer. No unibrow [airbrushed?] but she’s sporting the original equipment nose. And apparently color film hadn’t made it to western NY yet.
. . . add ’show’ to my remark.
#11″ maybe Steph had her pic taken at one of those painted carnival things where you stick your head through?
She’s makes a pretty cute little girl mouse, doesn’t she? Yes, that other pose would cause neck problems if she holds that “want beer” gaze too long.
I tremendously miss “live Jim”, but I suspect his “revised role” was at his own request and was in the works for many weeks. He’s been getting up at insane o’clock for 5 years doing what was, for him, not a full-time job. Excuse me while I make a sobby, ranty YouTube video:
“Leave Jim Ward alone! You’re lucky he even performs pre-recorded bits for you bastards!”
#9 My guess is, Fox and Freeks was already pushing that meme this morning.
#14: probably at that time it was a “Harvey’s Bristol Creme” or “Grasshopper” gaze…not beer.
G’morning, gang! Got a meeting but I’ll be back for Humpdays with Hal–yay!
I hope the election results don’t push the administration even further to the right… Political leaders don’t get it, you can’t be all things to all people, you won’t get the respect and support you need to accomplish anything. You have to show conviction, even if you make mistakes from time to time. All great leaders — Lincoln, Churchill, DeGaulle, whoever — were controversial and despised by a minority, but they stood for something, and took risks to achieve their goals.
Umm…I’m sorry, but it’s really the three of them that make the show. When I absolutely crack up, or spit-take coffee out of my mouth (even when I’m not drinking it) is when he’s doing some sort of retort combined with an impression.
Jim, that is.
I know…Glenn Beckhole will be invited for a “critical overview” and “non-partisan discussion” of these elections on Fox and the Fiends.
Yes, Chris adds his own high dizzy energy to the show which is also important.
#18 Markos Moulitsas had a good analysis overnight:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/11/4/800316/-Tonights-big-lesson
Excerpt:
Yeah I have to admit that when Jim’s not in I don’t listen all that hard…although it does mean that Steph can’t repeat (read as: steal) what Jim comments.
Maybe they’ll move Rebecca up to voice monkey-in-training?
Before Jim, they had another voice guy. I suspect they’ll have to get another one if Jim only participates with pre-recorded bits.
#26: will he self-destruct afterwards?
#23 Shaf, all great points.
Miss Jim
His acerbic wit balances out the show — although to be fair Chris is often thrust in his rightwing tool role. Still…
#26 Hey, I’d be glad to come to LA and do the job. At least I can do more impressions than just ‘Horshack’. Besides, I’m already soaking in the SMS culture. Flavin!
11
I don’t think color yearbook pictures were common way back then.
Another day of way too much to do, think I’ll just stay in the background.
BTW, Google reminded me today that it’s the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street. Okay, now I feel old!
Of course they make fun of Chris as a right-wing tool. He’s not really, of course, but his views tend to have a somewhat more moderate feel to them compared to Jim’s, whose views are more radical. Stephanie is empassioned, but not really as deeply informed as Jim, so Jim, as I mentioned in a previous post, adds some gravitas to the discussion, which also helps make the show more informative. Just Steph and Chris just doesn’t have the right chemistry that makes the show so magical as when all three are in there.
So, I’m going off to grab some coffee and catch up on yesterday’s shows. I’ll catch today’s later on today through my Stephcast subscription. Have fun today, everyone!!
and the 30th anniversary of the Iranian revolution.
#34 Yep. I was in college during the Hostage Crisis.
It’s Miller Time, y’alls!
Okay, we’re chillaxin’!
Oh, not that I can go find it now, but it seems the new NJ governator may be in some hot water because his campaign stole some Monty Python material without getting permission. The Pythons are not pleased and are giving them a right padding. It’s in the Huffington Post somewhere.
morning bloggo’s.
Nothing worse than those high school photo’s – oy.
#35: I was 13 and only vaguely aware of what exactly was going on.
I remember having assemblies in school & radio via the BBC.
#38 Found it:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin-lewis/chris-christie-rips-off-m_b_341598.html
should have put the Steph pics up on Friday evening – the weekend bad-news dump from the SMS…
Houston to Elect Openly Gay Mayor. Where’s your “Obama Effect” now?
Chris is right – should not rest on laurels because then you can get hoisted on your own petard.
Here’s the HuffPost link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin-lewis/chris-christie-rips-off-m_b_341598.html
I can’t say what’s up my ass. It’s a family show.
Morning…
Better the show hijacked by ass sores than assholes.
I can’t find the bush picture…oh, well…
Hello, Ve are selling Communist Revolutions. Would you by any chance be interested?
Oh yes! I’ll take a dozen please.
I know I haven’t been around so much this week but…where’s Jim?
#48:Hahhahahahahahah! I get it! Communist Revolutions!
I love that bit.
#47 They’re in the Gallery section:
http://www.stephaniemiller.com/gallery/
The Senior portrait actually looks quite cute.
Enjoy!
Deeds lost Fairfax County. That only happens when the Dem runs hard away from NoVA and Dem values.
He (like many downstate Dems) thinks that rural Southern VA is the sum total of VA. That would be like a state-wide NY candidate ignoring or alienating NYC.
50
And I think that guy had a Texas accent (like LBJ maybe)
#49 He’s off doing other projects (according to Steph and Chris). He’s phoning it in (more accurately, FTP’ing it in) this week.
Reminiscent of that great scene in “Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?”
Happy Hump Day Mooks!
The only race that really mattered was in the 23rd district. Club for Growth, Gary Bauer, the 912 Tea baggers, Limbaugh and Beck lost there! Score 2 for the RINOs!
54
That’s great for Jim. It’s too bad it cuts down his participation in the show, but I’d rather see him get the recognition he deserves.
When WE ruin everything??? Give me a break!! What about the hell the repugs put this country through for 8 years – where were you “patriots” then??
So, when leftists like FDR ruined the country, we were immediately swept away 50 years later.
Actually score 3 for RINOS because all Scozzafava voters migrated to Owen.
Fox News now spinning NY23 as obscure district where conservative candidate was weak. NO! look over here! Republicans win in two states! love it!
51: Is that a daguerreotype?
Democrats should be spinning the one seat gain in the house of representatives but they have raisins instead of nuts and would rather spend the day watering down healthcare.
on Maine Prop 1 — the judiciary was supposed to be the branch of government to protect against the tyranny of the majority. this fight will eventually be won there.
and I find it strange that the Wingers who put up the anti-equal rights propositions, who also champion Constitutional Originalism, don’t care that there is no Constitutional provision that bestows the right of direct democracy. They are only strict constructionists when it suits them and their ends.
What I think is important about the New York Congressional race is that it shows the limited reach of Palin. Ultimatley she’ll be proved to be just a flash in the pan the “News” programs can use, but she’ll fade into the background within a year, I’m betting.
Maine is not a setback for same sex marriage proponents. It gets closer every time and at the same time we are forcing the churches to spend their resources on politics.
Where the hell’s Jim?
#65 – so true. The ultimate hypocrisy.
60: Love me FDR. American Experience had a great program on the CCC last night. When the RW nut jobs say the government can’t do anything good, they should watch this program. What was interesting on the show was how the Republicans then accused FDR of being simulataneously Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini for trying to institute the CCC program – sounds kind of Glenn Beckish.
I expect Virginia to look like a Christian version of Afghanistan within one year.
Stephanie looks beautiful in her yearbook picture. But to be fair, Chris Lavort should post his.
After watching last night’s episode of ABC’s V, I have come to the conclusion that Former Vice President Dick Cheney is one of the “Visitor Sleeper Cells”, it all makes sense now.
I’m torn on the gay marriage referenda. Time and demographics is on the progressives’ side. And I think doing it this way by laws and referenda (even when we fail), rather than by judicial fiat, is going to blunt the cultural conservative backlash, precisely because conservatives (old people) turn out at higher rates than the young, when we do get equality passed into law, we won’t just have beaten them electorally, we’ll have trounced them demographically.
On the now-settled-in-favor-of-the-sane three-way in upstate New York, 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?
#67, and the churches will be increasingly tied to bigotry in the minds of the young.
#68 fbog, please look up-blog (#54) for your answer. I’m not going to repeat myself.
#73, wouldn’t know. I watched “The Plan” last night instead!
#73 Still think Cheney is really a reptilian overlord.
Oh, an NY-23 will probably be redistricted out of existence in 2010, so we won’t have to defend it next year.
Aren’t the house victories more important than the GOV’s? Bet both of these repugs will deny their constituents the opt in feature for health care if it goes to the states to choose. Folks will not be too happy about their right winger gov’s then.
Here in Kansas our favorite son Pres. Eisenhower has long been an icon, but just the other day on a PBS TV political discussion all the panelists agreed that Ike couldn’t get elected in KS today. Yep, the two-term president who commanded the Allied Forces in Europe, started up the interstate highway system, engaged the USSR and Red China in the Cold War, yeah THAT guy, was WAY too liberal to be welcome in the Kansas GOP!!
My feeling is that gay people do get married in any church that will perform the ceremony. The real issue is that they should have the same rights as hetero married persons. This is where they should put their efforts. I do, however, think it is awful how hateful people can be in their efforts to block gay rights.
Ah, our first RWNJ caller of the day!
Well RW Jerry is due for a call in.
I’d like to point out again (#43) that the front-runner in Houston’s mayoral race now headed for a run off in December would be Texas’ first openly gay mayor.
Houston to Elect Openly Gay Mayor. Where’s your “Obama Effect” now?
Hey, now caller – don’t forget atheists. When it’s no longer kosher to hate the gays, it’ll still be okay to hate atheists.
#71 Parts of Virginia all ready does look like an “Evangelical ” version of Afghanistan. It is hard to comprehend someone like Eric Cantor who blatantly lied on Hardball last night and is someone so intelligent could possibly be as comprimised and blind to reality as he is. It is like the SS and Gestapo maintaining beatiful gardens and raising livestock and pouring out adoration on their pets while torturing, maiming and killing human beings that don’t meet their limited criteria. I would imagine they would vote back slavery if enough got on board.
#83 – the real issue is that the STATE – not a church – bestows the rights and responsibilites on people who get married – not the church. Gay people pay their taxes just like straight people and therefore should also reap the same benefits.
82: Ike may be the most underrated and overlooked president in our history.
Hi, Bloggoes!
Today, the U. S. Congress is a little more blue. That’s the story.
Dennis Hasstert is crank-calling the show now?
Reality has NOTHING to do with numbers, caller. It’s all talking points. Talking points create the universe.
#83 My point all along. Everyone (gay and straight) should be allowed to enter into a civil union for purposes of survivorship benefits, having voice in medical decisions, etc. Marriage is an act of faith/religion.
John is sounding more unhinged by the minute.
The people didn’t speak in VA, caller. The people stayed home.
#74 – laws, yes. referenda, no. and “fiat” may be too strong a term. the judiciary interprets, doesn’t arbitrarily decree.
But, then isn’t giving the rights to heteroes based on how we have sex?
#94 – yup and you know what they say, if you don’t like gay marriage, then don’t have one!
78 – Couldn’t bring myself to watch it last night either.
Feel like we were living through it for the previous eight years.
They keep acting like these votes on gay marriage is about “giving” rights when it’s actually about “not taking away anymore”.
Did anyone watch V? (oh, I am so off topic)
“Hey, now caller – don’t forget atheists. When it’s no longer kosher to hate the gays, it’ll still be okay to hate atheists.”
Fat people will always be the last group it will be okay to hate and make fun of.
99 Hi Deb, I blog on a group and repeated that comment:
If you don’t like same sex marriage don’t marry someone
of the same sex. Then extended it to abortion: if you
don’t like it, don’t have one.
Then the moron deliberatly misunderstood: “Well, you
can’t say that because otherwise no one has to pay
taxes if they don’t like them”
I tried to point out it’s two very different cases. A
day latter and several post I quit the group before the
little bitch could throw me out. Moderator/Punk.
91 Haven’t looked at the results yet… good news though.
Is Ward, James Ward around today, or still missing? Why
is Stephanie in that ratty housecoat?
101 – I must be psychic…. Look up.
Friends who did say they gave up and turned if off before the end.
On got out his DVD of the original mini-series “to get the taste out of his mouth”
BTW, love how SyFy showed the original mini-series yesterday timed to end at 8:30 – a half an hour into the premiere of the new one.
#97, but when the laws can stand the test of referenda, we have won – and won robustly.
We’re not there yet. We will be in 5 years.
#73: God V was bad. not as bad a I thought that it might be but bad nonetheless.
If I see Elizabeth Mitchell in one more thing I’m going to scream. Overexposure.
#94 Exactly my attitude. I wish “marriage” licenses were strictly the business of churches, synagogues, mosques, etc.
Meanwhile, courthouses everywhere should be granting “civil union” licenses to all consenting adults, no questions asked, no explanations offered. Just treat every couple that steps up the window exactly the same and the tax laws, the medical issues, the inheritance rules will follow along.
Non-Negro?
#97, and I agree that “fiat” is not true in reality, but it’s how it FEELS to those on the losing side of the issue.
(A lot of liberals consider the individual right to bear arms under Heller to be a judicial fiat too, and they’re just as wrong)
So what exactly is this fool talking about????
Oh Lord… He said the “Negro” word…
LOL
Oh Lawdy….
Dude, we don’t live in a musilim country. We live in the US?
Why didn’t he just call negro-persons “jungle monkeys”?
and i’ll tell you why i hate playing basketball with you people…. because you’re non-negro people, and i hate your big-ass lips !
“Non negro person” unh.
Um, Muslim countries ban intermarriage? Not that I’m aware of.
#103 – It’s hard to believe we still have so many knuckle draggin neanderthals in this country – some of them in our government.
25: “Maybe they’ll move Rebecca up to voice monkey-in-training?” – could work, but should have started during halloween, with edgar allan poe’s prince rossperot.
Historically, the majority of assistance, scholarships, and WELFARE go to white people. It’s the whole “majority” thing.
Sorry – “Muslim”.
107 — I didn’t think it was that bad. Are you one a them that didn’t like the new Battlestar Galactica because it wasn’t exactly like the old one?
That’s why they aren’t focusing on the story Steh – it’s a big deal they refuse to acknowledge. The media isn’t focusing on it because they are owned by huge red donors and as Randi likes to say “the news has been canceled”.
#106 – true. it’s frustrating, however, that it takes 51% popular agreement to ‘bestow’ basic equal rights that are supposedly constitutionally guaranteed regardless of popular sentiments
chance for Stephanie Miller to Cash IN!
new movie “Avatar”: hot blue chicks with weird eyes.
Na’vi porn: it’s on it’s way! Stephy can
cash in early by painting herself blue and glue on
some sparkles… but that’s really not unusual for her
anyway, right? I mean, she’s still got the stuff from
her Blue Man Group audition
Oh Stephie!:

38: “the new NJ governator may be in some hot water because his campaign stole some Monty Python material without getting permission.”
that’s a useless up-hill silly walk for the pythons if they attempt it. – the time to strike would have been way back when they ran that failed muppet, ronald reagan, – or at least again, when they trotted out mccain, blatantly ripping off the overt “silly party” idea.
119: Yes, but when Rush Limbaugh was unemployed sitting in his apartment avoiding the draft eating potato chips he bought with his welfare check, he knew his problems were all caused by the negroes.
It is so good to be home again.. being on the road and having to listen to Alex Bennett and Lynn Samuels in the morning is worse than having swine flu…..
Talk about two losers…..
114 “you non-Negro people”
great use of the Deliverance music, Steph!
caller go back to f#$kin’ yer sister, yer mom… she’s both
Hello? Again. Houston. First gay mayor. Hello???
Mugsy’s Rap Sheet
Being a “MUSGRO” gay hermaphrodite I resent your whole show!
mr john’s conceit about “the tao of how they have sex” is ridiculous. – my very exquisitely heterosexual partner and i have indulged in plenty of lovely romance with each other, even while we both appreciate show tunes very much.
#129 (Oops, please add “.com” to link.)
#123, that’s the problem, if you consider the fundamental definition of a marriage to be between members of opposite sex, rather than a partnership of two regardless of gender, it’s not a constitutionally guaranteed equal right.
These people are in decline, though. We are in ascendance. We will win, and if we do it at the ballot box, rather than the courthouse, we won’t have cultural backlash to contend against.
“Negro”!? I thott the Rethugs were using
‘dusky ethiope’ for their racist term these days…
but that I’m outta the loop.
Whut happened in Momma’s old 23rd New Yerk upskirt, er upstate district?
53: “(like LBJ maybe)”
that would not be a texas accent, but a juarez accent.
“slutty fingers all over yer knob?”
Young Stephie wash out yer mouth!
Not the ass sores, again!
Neaner, neaner. The real “n” word.
Will the Rethug NJ Governor clean out the
Hasidic Pirate Organ sellers? or are they
already all under arrest by the FBI?
63: “Is that a daguerreotype?”
we use a lot of stills in prepping my new youtube series, “rick santorum and one hot dog in the shower”. – somehow, the keep coming out daugerrostyle.
Actually, according to a polisci that was on the local VT news last night, that NY cong. seat has been Republican since the 1850s, so it’s even bigger news that it went to the Dem.
Considering all the scandals at the end of the NJ race, I’m wondering how long it’ll be before their new shiny Republican governor will have to step down under the weight of indictments.
140 — I thought tin type porn was more Bender’s thing.
121 – is there a “roll eyes” smiley here?
The original “V” (the mini=series anyway) was great. The original Cattlecar Galaxative (and “V” series) sucked!
All these “re-imaginings” of shows and movies suck all of the subtext out of the originals – good or bad – because the originals tend toward liberal, humanist and “don’t submit to authority” messages.
126 lmao
#144, new Galactica good, because it had good writing. Old Galactica cheesy, because it had cheesy writing. Same goes for the Abrams Trek movie in reverse (gawdawful writing -> gawdawful movie). Had nothing to do with continuity purism, IMO.
I liked V when I was a kid, but never got into it. Had little interest in the remake.
69: “…The ultimate hypocrisy.”
yes, and but also too…. i just got to read yesterday’s loveblog, and found the wonderful synchrocity of robopeter clarifying the commandment (1 of 10, of about 600 that made the final synopsis galley edits)…. “thou shalt not murder”, which is significantly more sensible than “thou shalt not kill”. – - – - immediately followed by a post about mcchrystal, the olympic-level coward who betrayed tillman. gold.
CNN Radio News is saying “Republicans seems to be on the comeback”. Didn’t CNN first say that the OK bombings were done by Muslim terrorists & freaked with the training boat excersise on the Potomac acouple of months ago?
CNN = Crap Nothing Noise.

“being on the road and having to listen to Alex Bennett…”
That loser is still on the air somewhere????
(then again, Joey Reynolds is too)
Well, I come in still reeling from the giddy headiness of securing yesterday’s Jim-less SPARTA and what do I find? A yearbook photo of Stephanie which looks like it was taken with a pinhole camera in Thomas Edison’s back room. (Could we get a better scan of that gem?) It makes me wax poetic, which is better than waxing the floors let me tell you …
Oh Steph! Oh Steph!
Wouldst that I could brave the beam of gayness to touch thy cheek. Yea, wouldst that I could share with thee the nectar of love. My box runneth over.
144 — there is a roll-eyes smiley — it’s colon roll colon
***SPOILER***
It’s a different time, robotrix. These days that subtext is considered tired & unfashionable (I like it & I like things subversive in general, but the cult of the individual is now completely a right wing trope). I like the setup of putting a mother in a resistance cell along with a priest while the son has become a collaborator along with the church. lots of possibilites in those two setups. I also think Morena Baccarin will make a really great queen bitch. The ep itself wasn’t so strong, but I see a really cool set of storylines. I just don’t know if I can invest in another mythology show. So many good ones out there.
***END SPOILER***
#121: Original Battlestar Ponderosa was painfully awful. Remake…when they make sexy Cylons they’re just trying to cash in the the Seven-of-Nine fantasies.
Original V was campy in an early 80s Dynasty kind of way and last nights first episode was terrible. I just didn’t believe it even within it’s own ‘reality’.
Stephanie: Abbess of the Sisters of Nasty [Dirty] Habits
Dick Cheney: afflicted with BallsHeimer’s disease. 78 times
he can’t remember while outting Valerie Plame? you outta be
trading yer cigs and yer ass for your life
#121 but seeing Alan Tudyk again (after Dollhouse) was awesome.
I really doubt VA will change much after the win. If anything, you’ll see Richmond treat northern VA as a source of tax revenues, meanwhile denying northern VA transportation funds, or the right to borrow or raise taxes to do transportation projects.
After 4 years of this crap, the Dems in NoVA will run hard and strong against the Repubs, and will take the seat back.
In VA, it’s all about transportation in NoVA. Seriously.
Eating their own? Doesn’t that make them gay?
have you guys seen this – http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/category/y-2009/
Jim must love that Haley Barbour can talk!
#159.. how are those stories censored if you are able to provide a link to them???
Just asking….
Quite a few of my Republican friends now refer to themselves as little “r” Republicans. They say this because what they say they hear from Beck and Limbaugh, etc. One even said he voted for Obama largely because he couldn’t see having Palin as the VP.
O’Reilly and Rove Lemon party!!!!!
why has Jim Ward been photochopped out of all the pics
in the gallery, as if he’d Never Been There, Soviet
Cosmonaught?
Hey Turdblossom, Cautious on deficits? – Health care reform – deficit neutral!
Cash for Clunkers? – Juiced up auto industry!

#163: Lemon squares anyone?
159 thank Oryx always like to look at that list

wow.. Steph is a woman….
oh my….
now, if she were only a Negro…
164 — that’s not true, Mark, you troublemaker.
169 What? Steph is NOT a negro?!?
Oh I’m so glad I missed rove while heating up my breakfast (left over chinese food – yum).
Hey Hannity: The one race that touched on national issues was 23 and tea-baggers lost!
170 [skating] hey, who left the bottle of Stoli in this penalty box?
172 left over Chinese food always good breakfast… have it
with beer
172: Left over cold pizza is OK for breakfast, but chinese food? That’s just weird.
#175 – not a beer drinker but a wino
167 – I’m a Marxist/Lemonist

That F#$@ker manipulated the market

Cold pizza and warm beer – the breakfast of champions!
I want getcosmokramer.com
pizza is delish for breakfast too!
#180, it’s not like radio advertising is the cream of the crop anyway. Get-out-of debt, weight loss, and non-FDA-approved “natural” treatment scams are par for the course. So why not a stock scam?
#184 You mean those pills won’t make my pecker grow? Damn.
Dow may be up, but it’ll be years before my portfolio fully recovers. Goldman! (Shakes fist at cloud)
184 yer right, we should be happy Steph HAS advertisers,
keep her on the air. Like Spackle or Paste
Salt-n-Peppa “Push It” – The GOP campaign theme some.
184 — Jen Chapin anyone?
#180 – and it’s funny that what he is advertising, if it was largely followed, would be stock manipulation. (I’m sure he includes all those nifty caveats and legal notices on his service to avoid liability)
Hey – so long as Momma gets paid! Jazz and Max gotta have the kibble.
If I heard that voice during breakfast or dinner I would have lost my appetite – I can’t think of anything worse than a palin robo call, althoug rove and cheney would be pretty bad too. Thank god for the mute/erase button on answering machines!
Journalism 101? the media is owned by the elite. I’m very
surprised Steph is even on the air, or any progressive.
Is it just me, or does the Boner never blink?
To borrow from It’s a Wonderful Life
Every time Sara Palin speaks a Democrat gets a win.
191: That would certainly bring that chinese food up.
193 — He’s a disneytronic animatron!
#188, I can’t hear that without thinking of the season 1 Earl episode with the mother-daughter beauty contest and the crazy knife thrower lady.
#193 Because a boner has only one eye – it is technically a “wink” not a “blink”
196: LMAO.
129 – I wouldn’t trust that, since it has to go to a run-off. I would imagine that she’ll lose in that run-off.
198: Are you calling Sarah a boner?
A friend just sent me this list of the “best country western song titles”. Two of them #5 and #8 are from Stephen Bishop (Separate Lives, Animal House, Tootsie), etc. I was thinking though how some of these titles could be applied to the right wingers out there. Substitue her with him or GOP and well you’ve got your own personalized list!
10. I Hate Every Bone In Her Body But Mine
9. I Ain’t Never Gone To Bed With an Ugly Woman But I Woke Up With A Few
8. If The Phone Don’t Ring, You’ll Know It’s Me
7. I’ve Missed You, But My Aim’s Improvin’
6. Wouldn’t Take Her To A Dogfight ‘Cause I’m Scared She’d Win
5. I’m So Miserable Without You It’s Like You’re Still Here
4. My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend And I Miss Him
3. She Took My Ring and Gave Me the Finger
2. She’s Lookin’ Better with Every Beer
And the Number One Country & Western song is…
1. It’s Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chewed My Ass All Day

I meant Stephanie but she got me all confused
And now, here’s an announcement about leaving your radio on during the night.
Leave your radio on during the night.
Beck did endorse Hoffman — a day before Palin
161, if those stories aren’t censored, how many of them have you seen in the mainstream media? Just asking.
http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/category/y-2009/
Heard Hoffman on the news and he sounds like Lieberman IMO. Same kind of whine. Dodged a bullet there.
Boner seems more like a mint julip type.
I live in Jersey which means I’ll have to put up with this Karl Rove drone for the next four years. I just have to hope the Republicans don’t jump back into control in two years because they totally fouled things up in 1991 with cuts in the sales taxes that lead to big property tax increases. Last night “tweety” Matthews was on Olberman and he made a good point (he has a talent for being 100% right like 4% of the time). He noted that Bloomberg and Corzine were associated with the Wall Street crowd. This is the group most responsible for the cowboy capitalism that’s ruined this great nation. I agree that the messages were mixed but there is one that is clear; Obama needs to put a lot of distance between him and the Chicago Boys and Wall Street crowd like Summers and Geithner in order to move the ball here.
#206 so did Hannity
I love how Rachel doesn’t call Palin “Former-Governor Palin” — rather, “Alaskan Blogger, Sarah Palin”
#212 – they also need to say former vp cheney, I still hear vp cheney.

Once again…the problem in VA was NOT the president or the party or anything like that. It was an awful candidate (who the president didn’t even care for) who ignored the Democratic strongholds, and a GOTV operation that didn’t get the vote out.
#218 (was in sarcastic voice)
212 that is all she is, a dumb blogger from a distant,
dismal, impoverished state. Dreadful Dreadful Sara, she
is slowly deflating like the wicked witch after a bucket
of water in the face
Note to Steph/Chris: Kaine did not discard the 50 state strategy. http://www.burntorangereport.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=7867
I’m not defending Kaine, he’s no Howard Dean, but he’s been pretty good on collecting money for the DNC. If the party building is happening without headlines in the Post, fine. If all he’s doing is running the “incumbent protection racket” then he sucks.
repugs have NO ideas – on anything! They just don’t want to shake up the status quo because it has served them so well.
day 5 without going to the bar or getting drunk
how long can I keep it up? all I have left now
are my fantasies of Stephy
That’s always the Republican form of reform – how much can we give to our big business budies – Ala the Bush drug bill.
I’ve never seen the plan of a boner … I can’t wait!
224: If you are still fantasizing about Steph, you may still be drunk.
ha! — ProducerChris — I came across that old liner last night – wondered if it might be back
#212, #221, Blogger overstates Palin’s status. She’ more of a twitterer. Or twit.
#167 Lemon Tube Steak for Karl and O’Reilly!
229: You’re right. In order to be a blogger she would have to at least string two coherent sentences together.
We’re “like-minded”?

Just wondering if a boycot of Maine lobsters would send a message that the voters in Maine are hateful and wrong.
I love you all…I really do and especially so my straight allies. However, after what happened in Maine and reading the arguments that people use to argue that prohibiting GL people to marry is not a violation of equal protection (because after all, everyone is free to marry anyone of the opposite sex, which is the same argument used in favor of miscegenation laws (blacks can’t marry whites, whites can’t marry blacks, presto…law applies equally)), I am giving up on this country. My partner is in Canada now, and I’m working to go and join him. I can’t take, won’t take, being a second class citizen any more, yet I have to pay the same taxes follow the same laws, etc. How black folks didn’t just up and leave for so many years is beyond me, and it says something about the fight in them…my hats off. As for me…I’m gone.

#249 Those who voted for Question 1 are probably too dense to make the connection (with a boycott).
Hal, you didn’t just kick it down like last week?
Steph got baby elephant vacuum cleaner
I agree #256, but fishing is a big industry up there. If they start to see some economic loss, that sometimes makes people come to their senses.
Lobster? Is there such a thing as a gay lobster?
LOL probably, there are gays in every species. Thats what shows its not a choice.
250 I’m sincerely sorry Steve, maybe if you gays
hadn’t tried to turn everyone gay we wouldn’t have
driven you out… no seriously, the Rethugs love the
gay issue, they are all closeted homophobes who are
self loathing and do everything they can to attack
gays as a wedge issue to further their own twisted
power.
It’s sick that your life has been turned into a
political issue. I am sorry.
260 – If so would it be Lobster Flambé?
Hal quit rubbin’ on Momma, yer gettin’ her
all revv’d up and she’s breathin’ heavy an’
havin’ a tough time doin’ the show now…
249 – The big support for Question 1 in Maine was the Francophone community who are mostly loggers, so the better way to affect those who oppose gay rights would be to boycott paper, not lobsters.
#250 – I don’t blame you. At least you can live and be happy in Canada and maybe with time, the US will catch up. Given the mentality of some parts of the country though…could be awhile.
260 get that gay lobster outta yer pants!
Morning all! Maine is behind the moron/media curtain for the most part. Steph needs to go there and get some lobsta and make some noise, AYUH.
263 — you misspelled flombaye
#265, we could do both.
267 — ever see Multiple Maniacs?
Damn – Hal is on fire!
The irony being, “sexual” means “having to do with gender”. Not coitus. Coitus is “sexual intercourse”, that is, interaction between the sexes.
So, technically, “homosexual” means, clinically, “same gender”.
Looks like Maine allowed the mormon church and their money to come into their state and tell them how to think and live too.
#260 Yes. You can tell be the cross-dressing carapace.
And McDonnell won in part by hiding the fact that he was a Republican.
That and Mr. Deeds running a crap campaign.
Stephy with the The Onion ref got me czechin’ it out
ovah there, found this:
“In This Economy, It Would Be Crazy To Run Out And
Expose Yourself To Your Son’s Soccer Team”
“Alabaster Angel”… more like Drunken Slutty-Cakes
In Missouri, the public voted not to allow concealed weapons, but the then Republican controlled legislature didn’t like that. So, they passed a bill over the will of the people, which was vetoed by the Democratic governor, but they overrode the veto by bringing a deployed congressman who illegally left his post at gitmo to cast the deciding vote. Thus overriding the public will.
Yet, they had a public referendum vote to outlaw gay marriage, because they (the right) said this was necessary to prevent the legilature from overriding the will of the people on gay marriage.
I’ve got a big pain behind my eye from writing this.

Great to hear Hal — I was feeling pretty blue with the headlines on HuffPo, NJ + VA governors and the Maine referendum, but you guys are right, the Republicans haven’t changed, the Democrats fell off in terms of getting the vote out.
271 no, missed it, thanx for that.

274 – I don’t know how much Mormon money went into the pro-Question 1 campaign, but the Catholics were funding it, and they even “lent” the Portland Diocese’s PR guy to the Yes on 1 campaign. Time to revoke their tax-exempt status.

I’m just hoping against hope that whatever gains the Reps made yesterday finally puts the fear of God into the Dems and they grow a spine and start working together as one.
260: There are blue lobsters.
A quick game of Thermopylae, anyone?
#284 – YES, absolutely time to revoke tax exempt status for churchs that use church funds for political campaigns. The mormon church got very heavily involved in CA’s prop 8 campaign.

Is this a referendum on Obama? Probably not, except insofar as he represents the “powers that be” and people are upset and frightened at the wholesale thievery that he is continuing ala Geithner, Summers, etc. However, we can’t ignore the fact that Obama campaigned hard for Corzine in NJ, and he lost.
#291 With my luck, I’ll get the card that reads, “Do not pass go, do not collect Leonidas Cup”.

Congratulations Mark – Even a blind drunken pig finds an ear of corn once in awhile, eh?

I’ll strap that to the motorcycle lid
#298, I don’t think the VA race was about bailouts at all. It was an urban-rural conflict. Deeds, being a rural Dem, ran from his urban/suburban base, and that base stayed home. Republican turnout was down 570,000 in VA, but Dem turnout was down 1.1 million. That is, 500,000 more Dems disengaged from the VA races than Republicans, a lot of them in NoVA – because we didn’t feel like Deeds wasn’t speaking to our issues.
298 – He campaigned for Corzine in the end, but they’d been trying to get him to drop out of the rest throughout the summer. Not exactly whole-hearted support for Corzine.
there’s got to be some Photoshop fun to be had using John Boehner and “Futurama’s” Doctor Zoidberg…
314 Steph likes showing off her bush. She had it specially
trimmed, Manuel the gardner spent hours getting it trimmed
into the shape of a giant dog out there in the front yard,
and then Freddy and Max piddled on it just when it was
perfect. Stephy is gonna have Manuel string christmas lights
on it for the holidays…
320 Zoidberg and Boehner are OUT!? always knew those
two had a thing…
313: So, when do you get to kick the Boner off a cliff?

Stephy does the show from inside Hal Spark’s pants?! ’splains evvything
One other thing about the Corzine race. He had been trailing by about 15 points in late September/early October and nearly came back, DESPITE his associations with GoldmanSachs and his ugly anti-fat commercials against Christie.
Stephie’s blushing!
Kirstie Alley’s career went off the rails when she refused to reprise the role of Saavik.
#338 wasn’t that a Slim-Jim (beef jerky) commercial hook?
318 and 319…fair enough. Just a point though: I’m not saying it was a vote against bailouts per se. I think it was an anti-establishment vote and the establishment happens to be Obama.
As Stephy says “classy with a K!”
K-Zoo! shout out to Western Michigan, WMU drunken slutty co-eds YES!
I think of Boehner as an Oompa-Loompa with a pituitary condition.

342 – She only refused because they wouldn’t give her a raise. It was her first film – they probably paid her scale.
Where is the bush pix? I found the senior pix in the gallery…
Deeds lost because he moved to the Right, trying to gain votes in Western VA – taking eastern VA for granted.

The media is all about the horse race. they are trying to make their nest year’s news stories more exciting.
347 – if Boehner is an Oompa-Loompa…promise he won’t start singing!
350 Boehner don’t drink the rob roy, he’s a durty shirley temple man
#238: Bloggers, please don’t give away the plots of books, movies and TV shows. This is called spoiling. If you must bring up the body in Steph’s pool, use Sunset Boulevard where it’s established right at the start. Speaking of which, I’m glad Mr Voice Monkey is OK.
348 that’s where that got to…
VA teeters between blue and red entirely on turnout. Indeed, isn’t that what a purple state is? A state with a slight dem majority who turns out intermittently.
So Mr. Deeds may be going to town, just not the capital…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Deeds_Goes_to_Town
344 – based on the exit polling, I think that it’s a reach to say the votes were “anti-establishment”. I know that when I vote for my governor I’m thinking more about what he’s going to do for my state, because he has no bearing on what the president will or will not do on the national level. Senator and US House are the races that have a bearing on that.
#353 – like a political manifestation of the Aesop fable.
#265: French and gay’s not good enough for those people.

374 — Yeah, I was thinking there was some gender indistinctness there.
There’s a two-party system in this country still? I thought one of them was imploding.
377 — the right wing is represented by the Democrats, the left is represented by the Green Rainbow party. Hence our current difficulties.
376 – not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Sen. Inhofe (a Global Warming denier) will be spinning in the parking lot outside the Senate before this is over.
380 – “Here’s your hat. What’s your hurry”? LOL
Great show and blog! Have a wonderful day, everyone!
See ya folks! Have a good day!
378 – No, the two-party system implies two dominant parties. Which at the moment is questionable. The right is represented by the crumbling remnants of the GOP. The center and left are represented by the Democrats (thus the schizophrenic nature of the Dems) because the left doesn’t coalesce behind one of the minor left-wing parties like the Green for fear that it would be “throwing my vote away”.
Bye, Bloggoes! it was the finest Monday morning I’ve ever had on a Wednesday!
Happy day everybody! Glad to hear Voice Deity is still on the bus!

#366: 238’s not a spoiler? I haven’t read Gatsby yet.
#385 Truly, if the GOP would split into a so-called ‘Conservative Party’ and the remnants of a Nixon-Goldwater ‘moderate’ GOP, at least there could be productive legislative work with the GOP. The ‘CP’ is a bunch of loonies that will marginalize themselves with their rants.
389 — but you’ve had 84 years to get to it!
Jim is gone?!! Not even mentioned on the show and his banner ads removed from the website?! Jim was the main reason I listened to the show. I’m sorry but I’ll be listening mostly to KPFK in the morning now.

#392 Charell, chill. Jim is just off doing some project work. He’ll be back. He’s been sending his bits in across the inter-webs to keep us (somewhat) happy.
393 — because it’s been a prominent part of the culture for most of a century. Here’s another one — towards the end of the book, they crucify the hero’s son, but he ascends into heaven 3 days later. Then, just when all hope seems lost, he comes back and reassures everyone.
