Heard your show for the first time this a.m. I am just another rich liberal running for president, and I take a Dollar Store vitamin & 81 mg aspirin per day. No drugs for your broadcast crew? Starbucks coffee? I'll believe anything you say, because, did I mention I am a liberal?

Aisha, you're da bomb!Santa Fe is gonna explode! Bye Mama and mooks everywhere! And happy birthday Cagney!

Stephanie Bridges, er Stephanie Yankovic, er Stephanie Stallone - yeah Stallone that's it.

Meanwhile, in Left-Wing World, people live their lives and help other people and generally get along - ha ha. It ain't working Rightwingers.

Wait, did they say the Austin show is October 22nd? Isn't the world ending the day before? Talk about following your idols to the ends of the earth...

David Gregory is a blow-dried airhead whore.

Oooh, talk nerdy to me, you nerdy, nerdy girl!

Where's these photos of Aisha?

Yes, Aisha, we are writers and Stephanie pays us the same as she pays you.

Hey Aisha, I hit the sack at 2 pm yesterday and just now got up. Feels good.

"Welcome back to Fish Talk..."

#3: Work? Oh, I remember work. I just had a day off from applying for jobs.

#1: Thanks for the tip! But if I even think about streaming Mission Impossible in HD, this computer will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Good morning all!

#5: Kylelane, somewhere on the internets I'm sure there's a forum for sexy AC/DC metrosexual liberals... ;-)

Hey - aren't there any DC metro people around here? I want my sexy liberals!

Happy Tuesday Board! Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend.

Football's Joe Namath and actress Sharon Gless are both 68, folksinger Peter Yarrow is 73, writer/director/composer/actor Clint Eastwood is 81, comedienne Susie Essman is 56, actor Chris Elliott is 51, actor Colin Farrell is 35, actress Lea Thompson is the big Five-OH, and eternally lovely Brooke Shields is 46. Happy Birthdays!

Good morning, Tim, Shavastak and fellow livebloggers!

Hope y'all had a great holiday weekend. It's great to have Monday off, but somehow Tuesdays after a 3-day weekend manage to be doubly crazy. Work is putting a serious crimp in my blogging :-(

Good morning live blog!

Of course I bought tickets for Austin, but, gee, it's over 5 months away, so it's too soon to get excited and grab my laundry basket (obscure reference). Instead, I'll give an unsolicited recommendation on a completely unrelated topic.

For those of you with Netflix streaming, check out the "Mission Impossible" TV series. Netflix has every episode of the 1966-1973 series available in HD. The image quality is superb. This is TV that you had to pay attention to, with all aspects of the show being well-crafted (in addition to one of the coolest TV theme songs ever). The bad guys can be a little dated, but it's refreshing NOT to see a succession of middle east terrorists. For a start, try anything from Season 3.

And now back to the Palin "Rolling Blunder" jokes.
