Bye all. It's been real. Woof woof.

The chyron dept: trolls under the bridge. Out of sight and out of their minds.

I've got it! They're through getting up at insane o'clock and they're shooting for another time slot! They can't announce it because it would throw all the other shows into a tizzy. ;-)

Somebody on the liveblog but any other time would interfere with Mama's cocktail hour.

Klassie No, because they're all going to phone it in from home, using Skype and Go-to-meeting. Cocktails all round!

Somebody on the liveblogKlassie Maybe Mama's ready for Prime Time finally? A spin-off of Rachel Maddow's cocktail moment?

Re: the vaginal ultrasound bills. Here's my solution: Since women don't impregnate themselves, require that the baby daddy have a camera scoped into the penis all the way into the testicles so they can actually see those "sacred sperm:". If said "daddy" is unavailable, set up a registry of "pro-life" men to undergo the procedure in proxy. I'm only half joking about this. :)

HarperLocke Or tag them all, like the micro-chip in my cat. It could spawn a whole new accounting industry (pun intended).

Producer Chris needs to open the Phoenix show on roller skates to the strains of Elvis Costello's "Pump it Up" :-D

No. Mama's keeping mum. It's killing me!

Good morning. Has Mama blown the big secret about the show yet?

Obama's biggest problem for re-election is not Romney or Santorum. It's Netanyahu.

KAK1958 true dat

Mittens always sounds like he's reading a script for the first time, gingerly.

Producer Chris is part of Twitter Fight Club. The first rule about Twitter Fight Club is, don't talk about Twitter Fight Club.

Breaking news about the SM Show in March? What, what?

Mama's such a tease....

what's the deal in Phoenix. I contacted Roland to tell them my conversation with a lady at Phoenix Symphony Hall and she said (not too friendly) that it is NOT at PSH that it is still at the Orpheum. and that Stephanie Miller has to honor her contract with the Orpheum and there is already a show booked at PSH that night. I'm still waiting anxiously for WHICH WAY TO GO!!

Thank you.

Toni in Phoenix

mercurybball WOW!

Over the past 17 years, Texas has had just two governors: GW Bush and Rick Perry. Texas' reputation as the champ for simplistic Christian-flavored conservative politics is well-earned. However, it looks like Virginia may surpass us this year.
