John Fugelsang joins Steph in the NYC Bureau at 6am for all three hours of “Fridays With Fugelsang.”

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) calls in at 6:35am Pacific to talk about the new credit card rules, the economy, and health care reform.

Center for American Progress economist Christian Weller calls in at 7:05am Pacific to talk about health care reform, the jobs bill, and the economy.

Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) calls in at 7:35am Pacific to talk about the Toyota recall and the hearings.

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) calls in at 8:05am Pacific to talk about the health care reform summit.

President Obama signaled that Dems will move forward on a health care overhaul with or without GOP-ers. Delivering his closing argument at a 7-1/2-hour televised policy marathon, Obama told GOP-ers he welcomes their ideas — even ones Dems don’t like — but they must fit into his framework for a broad health care remake that would cover tens of millions of uninsured Americans.

The Obama administration today is proposing regulations aimed at protecting workers’ retirement savings. The safeguards would protect workers from conflicts of interest in their dealings with financial advisers who manage their 401(k)s and individual retirement account.

407: "anyone who really wears flannel and drives a pickup is probably gay."

more likely just a cover-up for their pest control activities.

pasta la pizza.

#462: sincerest apologies madame.

hard cheese and salted herring--the breakfast of champions

Happy snow angels you kids! Good weekend all!

Greate weekend to all!!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Bye all, missing you already!

Have a good weekend everyone!

governor appalachian trail, sirrah!

"papsmear, it's time for lunch. And tell your sister oortcloud to come with you."

Hey isn't Sen Appalacian Trail going to divorce court today?

#445 There won't be millions of kids with weird names, but kids with weird names with millions. It's ok for a parent to name their kid Apple or Sparrow if they can buy them a medical practice when they're old enough to need therapy.

#453: :lol:

Bye, Spiffy. Have a great weekend.

Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back before breakfast. Monday.

thinking about changing her name to knuckle ritchie. Maybe I'll rip the covers off some dictionaries and sell them as books of baby names.

284: "What’s great about Shakespeare is that when he was depressed, he wrote some great stuff."

"last action hero" proved that.

"to be or not to be ?"
[ hamlet tosses grenade. ]
"not to be."

A subtle reference to our work productivity during the show, ProducerChris?

OK, I must depart. Have a very nice weekend people.

260: "Shane-O – as usual, you are the master!"

dont be fooled by all that leather.

and they play upon the ignorance of the typical American.

244: "When he confronted Cantor, did anyone else picture Officer Obie (Alice’s Restaurant) staring back and forth between his props and the President and weeping?"

i was surprised to notice that cantor used more circles and less arrows than the original. also, i found it a bit confusing that the seeing-eye dog was piloting a helicopter while chewing on a human fema bigger than his head.

439---Those of us in the know, know that. But if it's on TV it must have drama.

ooops - should say Nicole

433---The other night my son and I were watching Letterman and Nocole Richie was on talking about her babies.

She named her son Sparrow.

Oy---I cringe for all these kids named Apple, Sparrow and Trig. However, maybe there will be so many millions of them that unusual will become usual when they get to school.

Sorry guys...w/o Rebekah it's not quite right.

@432 or a reference to Roy Rogers?

193: "I always thought it was a shame they didn’t do a sequel to “Prisoner of Zenda” called “Return to Zenda.”"

that deserves a treat. have a chunky hunk of german fudge.

my birther my dentist my lawyer...

Chuck Todd made a point on Hardball last night. The health bill passed both the House and Senate. They are now combining the bill, and since the bill passed both houses, it is not out of the ordinary for the combined bill to be voted on by a majority vote. It is just more bullcrap the Republicans are crying about.

cheney dining on mothers' hearts and washing it down with flagons of orphans' tears.

And that includes the Queen!

184: "....At least you can be creative with punning."

and on the seventh day you wrest away from puns.

Real people stories don't matter to the conservatives unless it's a beauty queen having her 'religious liberties' violated, then it's wall to wall coverage.

#421 It's probably based on the Norweigan name Trygve, a lot of Wassilans are descended from Minnesotans descended from Norweigans.
Or they just wanted to name the baby after a level of math he'll probably never study.

421----Or was is short for "Trigger"? A joke about guns perhaps?

the moon is in on the islamic conspiracy.

saying things just to piss off your betters is juvenile. virtually the definition of adolescent behavior

I would like the gov't to make all insurance companies into non-profits. That would cut costs right there.

#422 I thought it was "If it's lutefisk, you must acquit."

Clean sheet of paper = Drop current insured

#420 - voice injury be damned!

I hope charlie comes through all this ok. he's a great congressman.

416--lannity

Oh that Matalin lady says stuff just to piss us off.

Well, that explains where Cheney got his new heart parts - from Tucker! (jazz hands!)

"i'm talking about ewoks dying from chewing tobacco, and it's ludicrous. if it's ludicrous, you must aquit".

do they call him trig because the square of his hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of his other two sides?
