So, we’ve got a failed occupation of a sovereign nation, and a constitutional crisis in progress, thanks to an executive branch that believes it’s not only above the law, but above the constitution. I’m sure today’s talking head shows will address all of this in a serious and non-partisan manner.
First up, on Press the Meat, it’s an “exclusive” with the Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell, on to tell us how we are both safer than we were before invading Iraq, yet in terrible, terrible peril from the boogeymen out there. Then there’s Russ Feingold (who I used to think was one of the few Senators who had our backs, but who now apparently thinks Congress is just too damn busy to impeach the Chimp and his Cyborg VP), and a good old-fashioned redneck roundtable of NY Times asshole David Brooks, one of the Bush-licking lackies from the Weekly Standard, Stephen Hayes (who would just love to suck him some Cheney), and Bob “the has been” Woodward. Should be a thrilling show.
Over at CBS, Bush buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts Harry Reid, and WINO Olympia Snowe.
Fux News will try to put the fear back into us, as Weaselface Wallace hosts Fran Townsend, assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (that’s the best they could do?), and then it’s Krazy Kit Bond and DLC’er Evan Bayh, on to discuss how the NIE on Iraq actually shows how safe we are (but we should still be scared). Or not. And then it’s multi-billionaire Richard Branson.
The Goebbels Network spares us, as This Weak with George Snufalufagus is preempted, courtesy of the final round of the British Open. Tiger’s eight shots back, and he’s not much for coming from behind on the last day, but you never know.
CNN will recycle Frances Townsend on Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission, plus there’s John Edwards campaign manager, David Bonior, Artur Davis, of the Obama Campaign, shithead Senate Minority Leader, Mitch “the Prick” McConnell, Dick Durbin, the somewhat endangered Pakistani Foreign Minister, Kurshid Kasuri, and the usual collection of CNN hacks, flacks, and sacks (of shit).
Later, on 60 Minutes, it’s a collection of recycled stories, including Scott Pelley on how 300,000 mentally ill Americans are tossed into prison, because there’s no place else to put them these days, Morley Safer talks to the asshole lobbyist Rick Berman, and Anderson Cooper proves he’s just a good old down home boy, as he interviews Kenny Chesney. Yee-hah.
Have a good Sunday, y’all.

How could I pass up a chance to rock the Grannies? In the words of the Chimp in Chief, bring it on. ๐
You, Kevin M are Super 8) Cool and Talented โ :nod: ๐

Anyone listening to Sammy?
Why the hell are so many advertisers using that stupid “what’s the catch” template for their ad?? :jerk: And how could anyone think it was good enough to be a template??? ๐
wow, Sam just got the most awesome call. I love that all the moron wing nuts spouting talking points always seem to call Sam. He’s a wingnut magnet. :nod:
great IDIOT MORON caller just now on sammy!
jake you owe me a coke!
DITTO! Roxieseattle and Kristapea and ALL! Wasn’t that caller a “hoot”. :rofl2: A!I!V!
Sam says that caller was for real.
too, too real….
He was real! :rofl2: :omg: :rofl2: …A!I!V!

#2 — Geez, Fred — lighten up! :banana: Is there a smile underneath that curmudgeonly exterior? :slap: Or is it all :tommygun: all the time? :tommygun: — Ya gotta lighten up once in a while :dancers: or you’re gonna PLOTZ! :omg:
#10 — You’re my hero, Kevin — :love: — just remember, RG songs always have to be to out-of-copyright tunes, so we usually use VERY, VERY old folk tunes and such to rock to :dancers: . And my Granny Gaggle (in Central New York), much to my dismay, is sometimes very prissy and politically correct (which makes me crazy, because the Rochester NY Grannies are a little more radical … but Rochester is too far for me to commute) and do not like words like “stupid” or tunes like “Camptown Races”, which black people might not like because it is a minstrel tune (I fumed about that one for a LONG time & actually left the CNY Grannies for a while because I thought the majority was just downright STUPID with that decision), but … we’re doing the BIG WORK, so we just gotta plow through the stupid shit :jerk: and get on with motivating people to SAVE THIS GODDAM COUNTRY :doh: :doh: :omg:
So, if you have any ideas for Granny type satire, they are welcome & due credit will be given to you as a Morning Seditionist lyric author. :bee: :cat:
…………….. Also, Shout out to my Good Buddy :pent: Druid !! :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: Go find a Raging Granny Gaggle near you, Dru — You’d be a FANTASTIC RG!! :dancers:
I’m going to Lily Dale with my youngest daughter next month ( the one who is very psychic & sees dead people :reaper: ) and I told this to my RG Gaggle — THAT they were OK with & asked if I could do an out of body visit to them at an event they have planned for one of the days I will be at Lily Dale — but the Camptown Races tune is not acceptable for RG songs — :smack: :smack: :smack: :slap: — I just don’t get people sometimes ๐
RG, probably because it has been doo-done.

I blush at your effusive praise, not to mention my inability to find the blushing emoticon. I was sure we had one at one time.
My knowledge of American folk music is pretty much limited to the songs that were on Springsteen’s last album, so feel free to shower me with suggestions. If I’m not familiar with the song, I can at least search for the lyrics online and work from that, like I did with the Charles In Charge theme, which I heard Conan O’Brien sing part of on his show once, but have not heard other than that.
Your mention of Camptown Races is duly noted. I always think of Blazing Saddles when I hear that song anyway. Will also try to watch the language, although it’s tough to talk about Bush and Cheney and keep from swearing. Fuck those assholes. See? ๐
Maybe one of the candidates in Monday’s debate will help me out with a nice chewy soundbite. Richardson was interviewed this weekend for a local cable political show, and he seems to be getting a little annoyed at being delegated to the second tier of candidates. It might be time for him to make some noise.
rg:
must not be anything politically incorrect about psychic phenomena — or they wouldn’t want to offend you by questioning you about it. anything to not offend!
Damn, Vernon beat me to the Blazing Saddles reference. Well played, my friend, well played.
kevin: : oops : = ๐ณ
Long version
So, RG, what happens if your psychic daughter goes to the meeting and has a vision of some long-dead minstrel-show singer crooning Camptown Races? Would that be more or less offensive than a senator paying a hooker to act out his diaper fantasies?
:rofl2:
Wow, I made Roxie blush!
:yippee:
sir, you go too far…
Just remember, she has pretty questionable taste in men.
Well,this should sufficiently muddle up the out-of-copyright public domain issue for you.

i have to go back to work tonight. damn!

Oh, You Guys!!! :slap:
Blazing Saddles is one of the BEST ALL TIME movies ever made :boobs: — I totally forgot about the Camptown Races tune in that — maybe that’s why it bothered me so much when my Grannies ended up being such a pain in the ass about the tune!! ๐
OK, I gotta finish this later — we’re watching the All In The FAmily where everybody is sick & they’re talking about Cousin Maude and …. OK …. later :dancers: — Archie & Meathead :rofl2: :rofl2: … Edith :rofl2: :rofl2: :slap: :slap:

Oh, Hey, Kevin — can you put together some words to 15 Miles on the Erie Canal — I swear I was a mule driver in a past life :reaper: — I still get chills whenever I hear Springsteen sing “I got a mule, her name is Sal”. I LOVE his tribute to Seeger album ==
OK — back to Archie & Maude :slap: :yippee:
I do an ear splitting impersonation of Edith singing “Those Were the Days” Too bad you guys can’t hear it. :fustrate: ๐

what’s up with that?
yes, druid, i remember “soap” — like the character who drowned in a bowl of soup. can’t remember the sequel, tho. was it the talk show with martin mull as host? something america…?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_(TV_series)
i do remember soap, but it’s not the one i was thinking of. more research.
ROXIE :yippee: :bee: Be the Omega and Alpha … since I am usually the Only lil donkey, All Alone ,,, :pirate: :yippee: BUT NOT AT 1:51am my time, this Time. :yippee: A!I!V!

:smack: :doh: :rofl2: … :growl: ARREST โ IMPEACH โ then V โ
I remember Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman … that’s where I waned … plus I MISSED SOAP … to ahead of its time. Billy Crystal was the Gay son on SOAP ,,, hahaha … I do not remember Benson as a sequel, But Great Butler in SOAP :rofl2: :banana:
here’s the one i was thinking of:
Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman…
Set in fictional Fernwood, Ohio, this deliriously demented serial focused on the beleaguered heroine Mary Hartman, an average American housewife. In the first year, Mary suffered the travails of mass murder, adultery, venereal disease, homosexuality, religious cults, and UFO sightings, before she finally succumbed to a nervous breakdown on a syndicated talk show.
the syndicated talkshow was “fernwood tonight” with martin mull.
btw, the sequel to soap was “benson”
