• In a stunning blow to Democrats, Republican Scott Brown on Tuesday seized the Massachusetts Senate seat once held by Edward M. Kennedy, handing the GOP the crucial vote that could thwart President Obama’s far-reaching agenda, beginning with healthcare reform.

A strong aftershock hit Haiti on Wednesday morning, shaking buildings and sending people running into the streets. The preliminary 6.0 magnitude quake hit at 6:03 a.m., about 35 miles northwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Remember that the fans of Momma were so down on "Cackles?" Bet you wish Hilary was president now!

Is this a slap in the face of all Democrats in Washington, or just coincidentally funny as hell?

Wow. Ustream blew up my computer/dsl/whatever. enjoyed seeing Steph briefly though. G'day everyone!

Great show! Have a great one, everybody!

Not exactly. She didn't campaign enough at all.

From what TV I watched last weekend, the number of ads was about the same.

so what is snooki ?
any theories ?

Jethro Tull reference, Jim? Awesome!

If Kafka wrote Cheers... Everybody Knows Your Name, And What You Did Last Night, But Nobody Will Tell You, You Big Insect You!

G'day.

From what I've learned on this (and other) radio show(s) this morning, Cokely lost because she didn't run nearly enough tv ads. That's all.

369: W.C. fields as an x-dudes character. that rocketh.

346 - It ended for someone in Joy Division....offed himself and the group became New Order...who is slightly less depressing.

How about Magnetic Fields?

The video is gone.

oh no !!! - they're dragging mitt toward the train wreck. it'll ruin his hair !!

..butt licked by Leno?

damn eyes....

Does Hal read this??? Come on Hal..you should take me to mercyforanimals benefit!

opening an old male ?
hal is going khmer rouge ?

Conan can go to Fox and get his butt kicked by Leno.

Why is Jim Crammer still on the air?

the lady carol who called about her college son not knowing who to vote for. that's the problem. educate your self. no excuse . that's why the democrats lost. bottom line; the power was in the hands of the voters not the candidates. why do you have to be "excited" to vote ????

#357: Please. No Salt 'n' Pepa. Please.

349: huzzah for megan the vegan - keping the carnivores alive !

Push it, Steph.

#348: No no Kraftwerk today. I didn't bring any.

#346: "everything is death & depressing".

I'm at the point of trying to figure out why to even vote.

I think Larry Craig designed those mics.

343: But Obama isn't even pushing for the stuff he ran on. Where is ANY discussion of being out of Iraq in 16 months (or saying why that's not possible), as he promised in the campaign, for instance?

Oops..."Error establishing a database connection" on your site, Hal.

Might wanna do something about that.

Those mics look so much like penises. It's really distracting.

Hal - How does this vegan apply to be your date on Saturday? I won't let you down like Steph! I'm the Director of a large animal shelter and could use a night out! :)

346: definitely not before you touch my monkey.

it's got legs.
it's got wings.
it's pazuzu briving the mechanical buffalo of the cliff into the calistoga wagon wreck.

341 -- "When will it end?"

scarfing grindage with both hands ?
just give steph and hal some cameo roles as savage native americans riding a mechanical buffalo in "toonces with wolves".

Now, I can see why Randi holds her microphone in her hand.

This is more of a dysfunctional Senate problem than anything that Obama is/isn't doing, Hal.

It's misguided "leadership" from Emmanuel/Reid/Pelosi.

Obama can't sign what he doesn't have on his desk.

Steph going to a big red head.

#319: nope then Joy Division, then maybe Nina Hagen. All I need now are some clove cigarettes. I'm already dressed all in black.

#334 http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-hal-sparks-hot-s... is working now. Very overmodulated audio, though.

olivia ! welcome ! loved your performances in "hamlet" and "the jazz singer".

hal sparks and toonces are riding the mechanical bull right into the hindenburg. toonces is hollering "I CAN HAZ HINDERBURGER ?!!". they ride the cable car right into the wonkavator, right over the rainbow, and invade israel kamakawo'ole, tumbling over the flaming edsel right into the trainwreck on the port-au-prince 1999 runway. (i saw it coming.)

I couldn't work in that enclosed space.

Can't Chris or Rebekah IM Steph who is on the phone? It's free through Yahoo...

Can even send documents and videos.

>>good thing there’s progress on each front, except gitmo

I predicted that BO was going to be a failure almost a year ago. I honestly think that I'm looking MORE right as of today.

However, if you are correct and there is a whole bunch of progress being made than the libs are going to really do well in the mid terms.

Good luck

WHY CAN'T I SEE YOU GUYS? Frustrating

awwww. you guys are so cute together!

Steph did remember the padded bra.
