So, what’s up for today? On Press the Meat, it’s a “debate” on Iraq (WTF is there to debate about?) between St. John McCain and John Kerry. Plus a roundtable with the WaPost.com “blogger” Chris Cillizza, and NBC’s Chuckie Todd.
Over at Faze the Nation, Bush Buddy Bobby Scheiffer’s guest will be Teddy “I was against the war, I continue to be against the war, and I’m going to do everything I possibly can to bring American troops home at the earliest possible time” Kennedy. Go get ’em Ted.
On Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace host SecDef Bob Gates, and Senator MBNA, Joe Biden. Plus there are the usual Fux News professional pathological liars.
George Snufalufagus trots out Bob Gates again, plus Senator Jack Reed. Then it’s a roundtable with Thomas “my head is flat” Friedman, Fareed “Token” Zakaria, Martha Raddatz, and George :jerk: Will.
Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission has, um, well, pretty much nobody interesting, except for maybe Wes Clark, but I don’t know if he’s worth suffering through Crazy Jon Cornyn.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl interviews disgusting old prune puss, Mr. Andrea Mitchell (aka, Alan Greenspan). Andrea, what the fuck were you thinking? You know, his first wife’s name was Joan Mitchell. I think he’s got a Mitchell fetish. Then, Bob Simon does a story on Shark Tourism. 🙄
Half of September shot to hell already. Guess we’d better start thinking about getting a couple tons of wood pellets. The snow could start flying any day now.
Have a good Sunday and, as Archie Bunker once said, “be fruity and multiply.”
:rofl2: this be great

Hey Sean
I thought that you had renounced your liberalism ?? :reaper: :reaper:
CSpan1 will show the protests yesterday starting at 10.30am Eastern
If you are interested.
oh i did…… i didnt renounce the blog! and its not like my political beliefs altered substantially or anything……
😕 but its a long well actually short story that im not too sure i wanna tell
Good morning. :joe: :joe: . It’s cold in Brooklyn.
U.S. taxpayers will end up paying millions of dollars in commissions to an Atlanta-based auditor even though the firm’s wholesale rejections of Medicare claims from California rehabilitation hospitals are now being reversed on appeal.
The rulings by administrative law judges for the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals will restore money withdrawn from California hospitals, some of which are suffering financial hardships and have trimmed services to Medicare patients as a result of the reviews.
But PRG-Schultz International, which is paid as much as 25 to 30 cents for each dollar of Medicare spending it identifies as wrongly paid, can keep its bounty as long as its findings are sustained through the first two levels of administrative review. The reversals are coming in the third level, the first time PRG-Schultz’s decisions are being looked at through independent eyes in trial-like settings.
The rulings are turning an experimental federal program to root out waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare into a costly fiasco. But they also could undermine the basis for a congressional decision to permanently expand the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services auditing program to all 50 states by 2010.

what’s up with this:
A-list actor and director Robert Duvall joins Team Rudy, as well as veteran actor Ron Silver. Can you really beat having a guy on your team who’s played Henry Kissinger?

september 6th…
😀 there is funny to be found in this horrible
Damn, Star Trek got pre-empted…again! :tap:
I can see Ron Silver working for Rudy, they’re both in the mold of Mussolini, but Duvall, I didn’t see that coming.
Duvall for Rudy? He’s starting to tilt leftward?
silver star of fahrenhype 9/11 :yuck:
😥 this is a good cover……
:barf: i wonder if bush ever mentioned to bono that he covered sunday bloody sunday?
:nod: quite the rocking rendition……
Sean, is #17 missing the missing link or am I just missing something?
Oh, yeah, not much on the confirmation of Maron on Seder on Sunday today except for a TBA.
Feast of the Wingnuts
by Jonathan Chait
American politics has been hijacked by a tiny coterie of right-wing economic extremists, some of them ideological zealots, others merely greedy, a few of them possibly insane. The scope of their triumph is breathtaking. Over the course of the last three decades, they have moved from the right-wing fringe to the commanding heights of the national agenda. Notions that would have been laughed at a generation ago–that cutting taxes for the very rich is the best response to any and every economic circumstance or that it is perfectly appropriate to turn the most rapacious and self-interested elements of the business lobby into essentially an arm of the federal government–are now so pervasive, they barely attract any notice.
just look to the right and click sunday bloody sunday from the multimedia links
Very inside baseball, Sean. I should take some time to enjoy all of the right side links. I found it anyway. Just trying to help.
Thanks! I usually do not go to anything bloody as a rule except for Mary now and then.
Anyone watch the demonstration on C-span this morning??
This is what ANSWER said
Yesterday, nearly 100,000 people — led by anti-war Iraq veterans, military families and others — marched from the White House to the Capitol in Washington, D.C. to demand an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq. The march concluded with a dramatic “die-in” of 5,000 people surrounding the Capitol. Almost 200 people were arrested when police prevented them taking an anti-war message to Congress.
I love these lefty talk shows where they tell you you are doomed that there is no way to stop the rethugs ..just not enough votes … the only way there is is to elect more ineffective democrats to office… but the thugs will blow up the world before that happens,, :yawn: :yawn: :barf: :yawn: :yawn: :barf: :yawn: :yawn: :barf:
Hi everybody. I don’t really have anything to say today, so I thought I’d log in and say that.
Maron and Seder may be doing something online Tuesday. I imagine the word will get out. You never know.
:omg: :omg: Kevin speechless :omg: :omg:
The AAR stream keeps cutting out and I can’t get samsedershow. Does anyone have a link that works?
Ditto Kevin, re 25. Greetings All. .. HiiYaa. A!I!V!
No Maron today.
Several AAR links are over on the right under multimedia. Also under Liberal Blogs, Liberal Talk Radio always has multiple ways to connect to many shows.
Mukasey gets picked?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/16/AR2007091600924.html?hpid=topnews
Sounds like Maron and Seder are looking to mount an online pay per view soon. Details coming soon at http://www.samsedershow.com. Something will be showing Tuesday if you want to check the link.
hey…am I the only one on?…again? maybe its my hours…
PJ I was wondering if you had the name of that great swag store for Sammy to use…was it sweatstore?
I cant find my notebook that has those things….of course its crazy here and Ive rifled through everything…
oh well
Hey Melina,
I’m going to be emailing you a picture of the new and improved computer lab in a week or so.
It was SpreadShirt.
You know, if the dems just stood up and voted how they should, maybe…..just maybe some of the repugs would admire that and vote with them. But we’ll never know because they’ll never try :fustrate: :fustrate:
You think OJ will get off this time?
Colbert on Sedition Radio right now. God, I miss that show.
WARNING-sports content
OJ? SFer? This time?
It might be like when an umpire misses a pitch and makes good on another call. I don’t think the civil court decision against him was enough for most.
I think there will be a full court press (invented Fred Schaus, WVU) to put it to him. I can’t believe he would be so delusional to think that he could get away with something like this if he was involved. He should have just thanked his lucky stars (Galileo HS) after his acquittal and lived a squeaky clean life for the duration.
He (USC) was no Jim Brown (SU).
BTW, his murder trial was botched by the prosecutors and the verdict was legally correct imho.
You know who I don’t think is funny at all? This Andy Borowitz guy that writes fake news parodies.
http://www.borowitzreport.com/ This stuff is all just too obvious.
#32 vernon, yeah I heard Sammy say something about this on his show. As usual it sound intriguing but cryptic.
Lizz Winstead is havcing Chuck D on her NYC gig this week, that’s something I would like to see sometime.
Everyone here is funnier than Boreowitz, not meaning any dis for us.
Don’t quote me but I think Marc and Sammy will be doing some on line video thing Tuesday at 11 AM EDT. I left the Seder link for thems that care,
btw, I don’t much care for the Goldmans either.
I agree, Vernon. I think you can make a very good case for reasonable doubt, thanks to the inept cops and the incompetent DA’s office. I think, had the jury taken more the 5 minutes to deliberate, it wouldn’t have seemed quite so outrageous.
But OJ could pay for the best attorneys, and I guess out in LA they’re not used to that. You’re lucky if they don’t beat you to death, or zap the shit out of you with tasers. When it came time to put on a case against competent attorneys (I thought Barry Scheck did a great job of making the DNA evidence look bad). Having OJ try on the glove was pretty stupid, too. If you do that, and the damn thing’s way too small, you look pretty stupid. You can bring out all the “it shrunk” testimony you want, “if it doesn’t fit….”
I’d still have voted guilty, myself. But I guess they’d been locked up so long for that damn trial, they just wanted to get the fuck out of there.
Vernon, I’ve always thought that the prosecution was awful in OJ’s case and that they deserved to lose. On the other hand, the defense was quite good. And then there was the glove.
Unfortunately, OJ is a jerk.
Ah, the Hotdogs of Freedom.
Emergency Surgery For Olbermann
Keith Olbermann is recovering from emergency surgery to remove his appendix. The surgery occured late Friday. Olbermann will miss his appearance on NBC’s Football Night in America, as well as at least a few days of Countdown on MSNBC. MSNBC spokesperson Jeremy Gaines tells TVNewser Olbermann “is doing fine” and hopes to be back hosting Countdown at some point next week. Gaines tells us Alison Stewart will be filling in tomorrow and Tuesday on Countdown.
UPDATE: Check this site Monday afternoon … Marc Maron and I are planning a vidcast for tuesday!!!!
This was on Seder http://www.samsedershow.com/.
I shudda been a lawyer and was in position to watch most of the OJ trial 24/7. It was a lot more than the glove.
I think Barry Scheck is doing great work at the Innocence Project along with Peter Neufeld. I actually like lawyers and resent the bad tarring they get, mostly from repigs and their cronies. Don’t have much use for Dershowitz, however.
pj, is there a relationship between 44 and 45?
Thank Eris that it’s only appendictis, but emergency appendicits sounds scary. Get better Keith, WE NEED YOU! :priest:
RE OJ I NEVER LIKED THE TWIT — and the DNA showed that 93 to 98 % HE DID IT……. :doh:
Now folks here may “dis” ‘SC, Well “the gang” here might just remember who was really “famous” then in the early 80’s. And WE DID/DO HAVE Better Representatives of the “sport”, now…
…and Not Steve Young, The Liar.
Yet in the early 80’s I was one of the “Bold and Bad :hubba: ‘s, who were Males and Females WHOM HAD NEVER ATTENDED AN ‘SC GAME while going to school.
Although a “running back”, then, wanted to show me what I was missing. But he had a special sweet side, where I ALMOST went to a game … (but I saw the CAR ‘SC bought him ….and it was just WRONG). I did watch sometimes — and The Team would work out right where I had to walk by…really, it was the only way where I HAD to go to class/work. The Band Playing was also on my way to class/work. 8)
This was when, PJ, I was living in “the running back’s” Dorm/ and kinda “Frat”, but main one was off-campus, way back then, 108 years ago.
Yet I do watch now, for release especially, of the :crap: that is out in this Nation/World/and which taunts and haunts my very soul,,,,, Atman’s ….Soul.A!I!V!Can’t tell what’s on.
Tusc tUSC
Not exactly sure what Steve ever did wrong except for being a lawyer and a mormon and a HoF QB.
Tusk is one of my favs … and “bop’ d all the way to class/work A!I!V! …
Now I will go and watch A Zillion Times that video and even see the One I was called back then, named by some 8) Cool — tooooo bloody young Doctors.
a mormon just to name a fraction of his violations towards Women. A!I!V! but if that is ok to some then I am at the wrong place. I might be anyway. *poof*
Please enlighten if you can. Not that big of a deal.
I thought Steve’s only violation I ever heard of was that he was closeted. Perhaps he still is.
If being mormon is wrong, I guess he is guilty. Otherwise, I have just followed the 49er part of his career closely and I really do not recall anything Young has ever done that could be looked at negatively in any way.
First, of many, he did not ever stand up against the abuses to women, especially regarding football. So I think he is a Whimp, a crying LITTLE Baby who CHASED MONTANO FROM THE TEAM
I did a MAJOR ART PROJECT… at U.C.L.A.
(I had certain Roles in the ART Piece.) which was THE VERY FIRST “Take Back The Night” Rally.
Just being a Mormon is guilt enough, but he was GIVEN sooooooooooooooooo F____ing Much, and he did NOTHING to help!
Joe Montano did SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO F___ing much more.
Young SHOULD have gone to U. of Spoiled Children.
If he is GAY then I have even more Anger with him. Damn, I am only 5’3 and 3/4 ….. AND I WOULD HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT SOMETHING, at least.
I have oh so much more but I need to go downstairs and outside NOW, and let Danu out. I can’t edure another Mistake. :tap: A!I!V!
Uh-oh. Duvall won an Emmy. :omg:
Oops, another one :omg:
I NEVER would have given him an emmy. But I am also not in the mood to watch a game show tonight or these days.A!I!V!
Wow, now an Emmy to Al Gore and the guy that pioneered lawyer advertising for current.com. And 2 for Anthony :love: Benedetto
Alright she’ll bite ( 🙄 hook, line, and sinker )
Okay, Please tell me did I miss Gore and if I didn’t what channel:
NBC, CBS, or what ?
I think I missed him, so NEVERMIND. I had friends in lalaland
where we would have Emmy and Oscar Nights. Way Cool. 8) .
My girlfriend would hold 1/2 the party in her 2nd story place and (since I had wooden floors) the other 1/2 and the dancing part of the party was in mine. We lived in a big beautiful converted old home in Desconso (?sp) Drive , in the Silver Lake Area —- this is for the folks in the area.
Laura (also a Libra — but the superficial kinda kind) got addicted to “coke” in the ending of first year. Although we were Juniors and she being notified very late she was 1 of the 4 accepted. She was very destructive when she got addicted.
WOW, I guess all this talk about school is bringing back memories.
“In essence, this is a story about a gangster. And gangsters are out there taking their kids to college, and taking their kids to school, and putting food on their table. And, hell, let’s face it, if the world and this nation was run by gangsters — maybe it is.” — David Chase, creator of “The Sopranos,” accepting the Emmy for drama series.
That was the only thing I saw on the emmys ..
When they ended the series, I heard they were using Journey and why ….. maybe the music director likes ……WFI … Wait For It …
Journey :omg: gotta do some chores or something. *poof* A!I!V! Journey … Lights … *poof*
M&M :yawn:
How many Generals in Move On?
Submitted by SEDER on Mon, 09/10/2007 – 2:37pm.
Maybe a few:
Critics, including one recently retired general, are privately calling him “General Betraeus†on the grounds that he is too ambitious to deliver a balanced report on the war.
Seems MoveOn did not come up with the nickname…
