John Fugelsang joins us from the NYC Bureau at 9:05am ET / 6:05am PT for all three hours of “Fridays With Fugelsang”

President Barack Obama will travel to storm-ravaged Alabama today to meet with victims of the nightmare storms that have killed more than 300 people. Late Thursday he signed a disaster declaration for the state to provide federal aid to those who seek it.

President Obama yesterday nominated CIA Director Leon Panetta to replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates when Gates makes his long-planned retirement this summer, and he proposed sending Iraq and Afghanistan war commander Gen. David Petraeus to head the CIA.

Exxon made almost $11 billion and practically apologized for it. Sensing public outrage over gasoline prices that have topped $4 in some states, the company struck a defensive posture Thursday after posting some of its best quarterly financial results ever.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were pronounced husband and wife at Westminster Abbey this morning in a royal occasion of dazzling pomp and pageantry that has attracted a large global audience. They took their vows at about 11:15 a.m. GMT with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, officiating,

Where was Tah-Rump's food taster at WHCD? Perhaps that's why he looked dyspeptic?

bye sexy liberals everywhere! woof!

Bye all... Have a royal weekend.

omg. Nicole Sandler got the "treatment". awful, awful, sickening

41. Whew. Mama's got spunk.

Momma doing her "Elaine from Seinfeld" dance on the ustream

40 but she's not burned since the spilled wine douses the fireball,
and she pops up "I'm OK! thanks for asking!"

37. the Lucky flies into her hair, though, and sets off a fireball. the crowd applauds.

Hmmm... So if I were to sneak into Steph's house and write "Dinner date with somebody on the liveblog" on her paper calendar...?

please do NOT trigger the dog talk, mooks

36 until she falls off her heels and smushes the juice box o'vino
under her, fortunately breaking her fall...

35 drinking box wine from the juice box in her beaded purse...

34 wrow! Momma in the fishnets, spike heel shoes, smokin' Luckies...

Hey Steph, are you going to wear the fishnets again? Ha ha

Oh Momma, Grand Marshal for the Long Beach Gay Pride Parade

Has anyone else noticed that TPMmuckracker has started referring to them as "After-Birthers"? LOL

I always thought the Fundies sang it: "One TOE over the line"?

Momma finds a little Cedarcide behind the ears gives her
that chi-chi scent that makes the boys and girls crazy...

27. You should call in and get some sherri's berries for your story.

If you discover bedbugs in your home, don't waste time trying to find something cheaper and/or local. I only found one other product that worked, and it wasn't cheaper (per ounce), didn't work as well as Cedarcide, and was chemical-based (so I couldn't spray it on my pets.)

My pal came back from his visit to San Francisco . . . with BEDBUGS!

Was afraid that he'd brought some buggers back - so as a preventative, bag up everything, send things to dry cleaners, laundered everything else . . .

Bought Cedarcide and sprayed the matress, boxspring, and luggage.

Haven't seen anything since!

24 cool, I'm going to try cedarcide, offer code Stephanie

If anyone is interested, I stopped by the Cedarcide shop about two weeks ago (I live about 20 miles away). They said that the radio advertising *really* boosted their sales and they're having their best year ever, shipping orders of Best Yet everywhere, including Europe, South America and to soldiers in Iraq (who have a problem with sand fleas).

If you stop by, ask for Benny. :)

actual letter from an obviously drunken buffoon in todays Detroit
Free Press:
"Is certificate real?
Does one really think that the sudden appearance of a long-form
birth certificate is real? Why did it take so long for it to show
up? They needed a realistic elaborate fake. Why did Obama suppress
all the information about his life -- school records, college
records, etc? He is an alien, liar, socialist."
George Marshall

poor George. Only two brain cells working, and pulling in opposite
directions.

Trump is a clown here to amuse us.

So Stephanie Miller told Chris Lavoie that she will be meeting
her girlfriends on Saturday night and she needs money for some
new clothes. He told her that it's out of the question; she has plenty of clothes and doesn't need anything.

Stephanie told him that she's serious, she has nothing
whatsoever to wear and needs to do some shopping. He refused
to give her any money.

Saturday night came and Stephanie Miller walked downstairs,
wearing nothing but a hat, shoes and carrying her purse.

Chris Lavoie asked her what she was doing, and she told him
that she warned him that she had nothing to wear.

Chris then told her "well for god's sake shave! You look like a bum!"

. . . and don't forget Myron Floren WITH Jo Ann Castle!

still laughing at this one from yesterday:

Yeah, dammit! When is anyone going to hold Trump-Wow to any of his crazy promises or claims? Or does he just get to bounce around babbling nonsense like a sugared-up toddler that can’t be told to shut up?

Hullo! Obama's still a Kenyan Mooslim Socialist Communist Nazi
Infiltraitor... at least according to the pin-heads that rite
ledders to the editors of the Detroit Free Press. And Prezerdent
Trump is gonna buy 'em each a new pair of shoes...

Laura: bite me..

. . . and Lawrence Welk was PISSED at the Lennon Sisters when they quit!

Yeh, I'd to thank Donald Trump - right up to the side of his fat head.

Caller, please! Continue your whining and you'll get me crying with you..

Don, whiny Republican stooge..

. . . oh, crap, not another one (this Don guy)!

Danny, I like the mouth-breathers. Momma plays with them like cat toys. And it reminds me how really stoopid their arguments are.

I do wish Momma would hang up on these mouth-breathers . . . never going to change their minds.

Caller is approaching my Slap Threshold.. Classic Republican whiner, a racist asshole himself, convinced that he's under the boot heel of the Black Man..

Hi Ivan,

Expecting a beautiful weekend here. Can't wait. You can do chat. I'm on the chat and I just scan. I can't keep up with it all.

Chris is right - the "They drummed you out of Broadway" line is Susan Hayward's from VOTDs.

Of course, they never play Patty Duke's Neely retort - "Well, that's a bitch switch from the f**s you're usually stuck with . . "

Helen's comeback: "At least I never married one . . "

At which point, Neely snatches Helen's red wig off her head and flushes it down the toilet!

There's a lot of screaming and gnashing of teeth..

OMG! Another royal wedding, and I've MISSED IT!

. . . and what about the weird headgear on that Spice girl? But Princess Kate's beautiful smile during the processional! Yeah, I was sucker enough to get up early to watch . . . easy as I'm up at that hour anyway!

How ironic that while this pomp and circumstance is happening, our President is surveying the damage in Alabama.

Lovely Celeste Holm is 94, ballerina Zizi Jeanmaire is 87, composer Rod McKuen is 78, Father Alberto Cutie is 42, comedian and actor Leslie Jordan and actress Kate Mulgrew are both 56, tennis' Andre Agassi is 41, actor Daniel Day Lewis is 54, actress Michelle Pfeiffer is 53 and actress Uma Thurman is 41. Happy Birthdays!

John almost said.. Vulva

Good morning, Barbara!

I hope you are headed for a nice weekend, as I am.

I tune into the ustream, and have considered posting there, but I don't seem to fit in that much over there. I guess I'm too old, although I've been a loyal Steph subscriber now for 4 years this month.

Anyway, I'm in a good mood, and hope everyone else is.

Wow! What a beautiful wedding. Kate looked gorgeous. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The bloody Brits know how to put on a pageant. I can't resist a bit of snark though. What was going on with Wills' cousins' "hat?" She looked like she had a set of antlers on her head. :wink:
