So, what do they have in store for us today?
On Press the Meat, it’s all about the 2008 elections, as Timmy Potatohead hosts political “strategists Bob “the curse” Shrum, the guy you just can’t help but look at – kinda like looking at a car wreck, and not being able to turn away – James “the cupie doll” Carville, and his disgusting, horrible wife, Mary Matalin, and some other republican stooge named Mike Murphy.
Faze the Nation isn’t saying who’s on their show tomorrow, and I’m not really inclined to spend much time looking.
On Fux News Sunday, weaselface Wallace hosts the Newtster. I still don’t understand why that insignificant asshole gets any airtime – even on Fux.
On the Goebbels network, George Snufalufagus has Iraqi President Jalal Talabani (taking time off from his weight watchers tour of the US, I guess), plus Jack Murtha. Then the Axis of Drivel is reunited at the roundtable, as George :jerk: Will, Sam :omg: Donaldson and Cokie “the hag” Roberts tut-tut their way through a rousing rendition of inside the beltway bullshit. Plus, Kyle Petty will be on as This Weak’s “voice.”
CNN’s Late Emission has Elizabeth Edwards, plus one of Mitt Romney’s wives, Tagg Romney. Then it’s occasional Democrat Diane Feinstein, and redneck Republican “Dick” Shelby, plus exciting CNN hacks, such as Mr. Cokie Roberts, Donna “loser” Brazile, and some local New Hampshire media people.
Later, on 60 minutes, it’s a Mike Wallace kinda night, as he chats with Jack Kevorkian (probably trying to get a price quote for his services), then they run and old Wallace interview with Vanessa Redgrave, and then a re-broadcast of parts of an interview with Iranian president Ahmadinejad.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Exclusive: Putin threatens to target Europe with missiles
In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to target Europe with missiles, including potentially nuclear weapons, in a dramatic escalation of his Cold War-style showdown with the United States.
Mr. Putin, in an interview at his country residence outside Moscow, said he considers U.S. plans to build an eastern European anti-missile site to shoot down Iranian missiles a provocation aimed at Russia.
Asked what he might do to retaliate, he said he would return Russia to the Cold War status where missiles were aimed at European targets.
“It is obvious that if part of the strategic nuclear potential of the United States is located in Europe, and according to our military experts will be threatening us, we will have to respond,” he said.

good morning….too tired to see Maron’s show last nite…and just to comfortable and happy here with room service salad and TV…but I did a little review of the show the other night, which begins below the comment about the criminally negligent programmer, Mark Green…whatever…above is the police state, gentrification, and shopping round here
not sure if and of it makes sense…
but also I put up some pics from the science center where Andy and I saw Tut yesterday….of course, no cameras were allowed in Tut but I got a bit on the huge heart that you can walk through….
I shoulda taken more, I guess….but I wanted to photograph the tut stuff and…well…the heart was extremely cool…
I got great stuff for the boys too…I think they will be happy.
as an aside, Mom was just talking to me and said oh how the boys had used an entire quart of her coffee mate french vanilla in their coffee…coffee? Oh she assumed that they knew how to make coffee. I said, oh shit…look inside the machine…
well under a clean filter was a bunch of grounds…as if it brews up and then water below full ow grounds…
and Ben was telling her how it seemed to be not so hot and very dark…a little crunchy….now wonder they needed a whole quart of coffee mate.
note to self; teach the boys how to work the coffee machine!! and grind them some decaf!! Jesus…Im afriad to go home….
has she emptied the dishwasher? no
have they brought the dishes down from upstairs? no
has she….no…
So Id better head out and look for transportable cheesesteak….

The facts of Omar Ahmed Khadrรขโฌโขs case are grim. The shrapnel from the grenade he is accused of throwing ripped through the skull of Sgt. First Class Christopher J. Speer, who was 28 when he died.
To American military prosecutors, Mr. Khadr is a committed Al Qaeda operative, spy and killer who must be held accountable for killing Sergeant Speer in 2002 and for other bloody acts he committed in Afghanistan.
But there is one fact that may not fit easily into the governmentรขโฌโขs portrait of Mr. Khadr: He was 15 at the time.

can anyone say, “child soldier?” do they let 15 year olds enlist here? aren’t you supposed to do what you’re told by your elders at fifteen?
what’s wrong with these people? and the sheeple who accept things totally lacking in any critical thinking or empathy?
“These people” are all sociopaths they belong in a mental institution.. I think a lot of the thugbot callers to C-span belong in the same group.. Until you have a revolutionary council that rounds them up no one will be safe .
I think one of Sam’s shortcomings is that he plays down the funny. The boy’s got it in him, it just doesn’t come out. Maybe because he is dealing with humourless programmers and utopians. Look what he has been through at AAR and what he has seen go down all around him. I think he carries on the Maron/AAR legacy well for now. To compare him with Ranti is just…*

i can understand someone not thinking marc’s rants as not funny. they’re not supposed to be funny. more like thought provoking. randi’s rants, when she gets on a roll, and mike malloy’s almost always are really great speecifying, preaching the truth to the congregation.
you’re either saying halleluja or switching channels.
now, if one were to say they find marc’s humor not that funny, it says more about one’s own sense of humor than about “the funny.”
it’s okay either way. i’m happy that marc’s not everyone’s cup of tea 24/7. a) he’d be way less accessible, and b) i’d feel way less special.
He was a child of jihad, a teenage soldier in bin Laden’s army. Captured on the battlefield when he was only fifteen, he has been held at Guantanamo Bay for the past four years — subjected to unspeakable abuse sanctioned by the president himself.

Sean, I don’t know where you are but I was led to believe that sambuca was to be delivered in snifters with three coffee beans like brandy. It is a great drink but like ouzo and others like it brings a brutal morning after. Of late I have been drinking Fernet Branca which I acquired a taste for in Italy some years ago. It tastes like liquid steel.
I have been liking sake alot. But now that it’s getting warm I may have to buy the more expensive sake you drink cold.

maybe he’s working on his hbo pitch?

The classic way to serve Sambuca is with three coffee beans, ignite them briefly, and serve with Expresso.

Re: Lionel
I used to listen to his night show every day (podcasting). Since he went to Seder’s spot, I haven’t listened to a full episode and have seven that I haven’t listened to AT ALL.
I do recall hearing him say something about being there to get listeners. To get more ears. I think that almost blatant “sell-out” line got to me.
ALSO, I just got back from an open mic where I did SURPRISINGLY well! I still don’t have my hands on any video of me (even though it apparently exists) so in the mean time check out my friend E’s blog where she’s got some videos of her stand-up there. She’s very smart, a good writer, the editor of The Bastion which is a Chicago comedy blog… we also started stand-up on the same night. And she’s nice and funny as well.
And I know that it sounded as if I have a girl-crush on her. I don’t. She’s just the first comic who really reached out to me and that she’s another female comedian is also big.
