Happy Birthday to Marc Maron today, as he hits double fours. I was gonna get you a really great present, but I didn’t want you to think I was stalking you, so I guess I’ll just have to keep it for myself. Marc is in good company, as today’s birthdays include revolutionary rabble rouser, Sam Adams, the father of American political cartoon, Thomas Nast, “gangster” George Raft, Watergate Chairman Sam Ervin, the original Matt Dillon (and Bullwinkle narrator), William Conrad, Randy Bachman of BTO, Cheryl Tiegs (whose poster once proudly adorned my dorm room wall), and Meatloaf (not the food, of course, but the singer), among others.
So, Happy B’day, Marc. I hope this is the beginning of a great year for you.
:pirate: ROXIE :yippee: :love:
and
:love: :yippee: :cake: MARC MARON’s BIRTHDAY :cake: :yippee: :sdavid:
Michael Moore on Oprah today.
Plus, a shill for the insurance industry.
If, like me, you have no idea when, where, or even if Oprah is on where you live, you can check here.
pjsauter , 8) … 8) … that you put you can check here, that is … I need to buy a CLUE :smack: A!I!V!
Roxie, I’m glad all went well and thanks, Druid for calling Roxie.
Verizon won’t allow NARAL text messages.
:love: ROXIE :dancers: :yippee: :pirate: :nana: … I will try to leave out “bait” for stray cat last night :billcat: a Tuxedo Meow Kitty – 5 to 6 months :billcat: :love:
Today, hubby has to see the surgeon about his heel. Hopefully he will not need surgery.
As caregiver I probably get a “C” ’cause I don’t cook. When I’m home alone I eat cottage cheese and other foods that don’t need to be prepared. Poor hubby is trying not to complain although it wouldn’t do him any good.
I hope I’ll get a chance to watch Michael Moore. I confess that I never watch Oprah, so PJ, your Oprah locater was much appreciated.
If, like me, you have no idea when, where, or even if Oprah is on where you live, you can check here.

Of COURSE Oprah is on where you live. Oprah is everywhere. Oprah is in all of us. Each of us together make up Oprah.
Oprah is in your heart and in your mind. Oprah is in your guts and in your stool. ESPECIALLY in your stool.
Why is it called stool, anyway? Stool is supposed to be something you sit on when you drink in public.
:40:
I think I’m done now. 😆

Amazon MP3 store is now open. It’s cheaper than iTunes, and sells DRM-Free MP3’s. You buy it, you own it, and you can play it wherever and on whatever device you want. It may not have as deep a catalog as iTunes (yet), but it looks pretty good at first glance (Kevin will be glad to see Amy Winehouse, for instance).
Just say “no” to iTunes and any other DRM-crippled music. downloads.
ROXIE WAKE UP 😀 – I do NOT want to WAKE YOU… :billcat: :billcat:
PJ, re 11 😀 I Have No Idea Of Which You Say, and that’s okay :dancers: :doh: :banana: :dancers: A!I!V!
Re 5 pjsauter … they are doing similar CRAP – re PRISON PLANET and NARAL on MYSPACE … Well, GRRR :smack: :growl:
Good Morning :joe: I had a lovely time in Fla visiting my family. Since they all knew I am a bleeding heart liberal they avoided racist and political comments. Good! Mostly we gossiped about each other and tried to remember the last time we saw each other. My 100 year old Gramma is hard of hearing but still sharp. She was thrilled to have everyone there and couldn’t believe she’s so old. We discovered a hole in the birthday card market, there are very few choices of birthday cards for 100 year old humans. When I was looking at the card section, I was excited to find a card for a 100 year old and apparently 6 others were thrilled to find the same exact card! :smack: Then we wondered why there weren’t any cards for 101, 102, 103 etc. Gramma got a card from the preznit and Pickles :barf: I’m sure they didn’t sign it personally.
Happy Birthday Marc! :cake: He won’t see it. 🙁
Druid, how will I live down the Soupy Sales cheer? :rofl2: :rofl2:
I have Nextel cell phone service and I hate it. Most calls are dropped and coverage, when we leave NY, is awful. Several people have suggested Verizon so I was really disgusted with their refusal to carry NARAL test messages and their characterization of them as controversial and/or unsavory.
I just wrote to Verizon and told them that.
Does anybody have decent cell phone service? You know, the kind which actually allows one to both talk and hear a conversation, where calls are not dropped after a brief round of “Would you repeat that; I didn’t hear you.” and which actually provides service fairly evenly across the US. I really need a new carrier. Any suggestiions?
Hate to say it, buy we have Verizon, and it works great. It’s about the best coverage here and nationally. Cingular/ATT is very spotty (have that for my Blackberry). Don’t know why they give a crap about NARAL messages, and I don’t know how something can be “offensive” to the people who are signing up to get it.
Write to Vodaphone (headquartered in the UK, and the largest mobile telecomm network company in the world), too, as they own 40% of Verizon Wireless.
Soupy Sales Cheer. I don’t remember this from when I was a kid. (warning- :boobs: )
Trivia-Soupy’s sons were musicians and played with themselves :billcat: , Todd Rundgren, Iggy Pop, Tin Machine and more.
Happy :cake: :menorah: :rabbi: :sammy: to MM and tomorrow to Janeane ❗
Most of all, best to roxie and thanks for checking in.
Vernon is in The House … Party over Here, Party over There.
Sue P., maybe the two of you can exorcise The “Cheer”, but I don’t think so. :rofl2: 😆 :rofl2: since Vernon and You (shhh especially Vernon :spank: :hubba: ) started… (giggle).

OPRAH’S ON ON THE WEST COAST!!!
:bow: michael moore :bow:
Thanks, roxie, I would have missed it like the first 7 minutes but it reruns late at night here and hopefully this episode will be one that will repeat late night this weekend.
Though not a fan, getting Oprah on this bandwagon can be very pivotal.
Hubby’s heel doesn’t require surgery, thank goodness, but the doctor says at least 3 months before he can walk. Clearly, we’re going to have to find a solution to the cooking situation which does not require that I cook. There is little chance that anyone would want me to cook anyway. I’m really bad. In fact, when my kids were young, they held a family meeting at the end of which they told me they wanted me never to cook again. I complied. No problem.
So, this evening I made hubby get those crutches and go out with me to eat. Starvation, or probably the threat of my culinary skills, is a great motivator. There were a bunch of people at the next table talking about what they had seen on Oprah today. They were quite alarmed by the idea that insured folk are in trouble as well as the uninsured.
Yet, I believe I read that more people would prefer that universal health care be run by private companies. I guess they like being denied coverage so some Repug can make a greater profit.
Oprah brings exposure – and acceptance – of whomever she has on to a shitload of people. And, any topic she touches on – let alone endorses – is immediately brought to the “popular” culture. She had Moore on for (and praised) Fahrenheit 9/11. I’m not exactly an Oprah devotee, but I think her heart’s in the right place for the most part, and there’s no denying her ability to shape popular opinion.
You go, girl!
The one thing I have against Oprah is that she was in The Color Purple. Sure, it was a good movie, but it was two and a half hours long (154 min, as I recall, though I could be wrong, since it was 20 years ago), and I ran it back when I was running movies, so I had to stay late every freakin’ night, waiting for it to end. Plus, the people who went to see it were “credit readers,” so I’d have to hang out that much longer.
This brings the issue to a lot more people that Sicko would never touch.*
Sicko is #230 right now on Amazon. I am betting it was much lower than that before today.
WOW
Roman Catholic bishops in Connecticut have agreed to let hospital personnel give emergency contraception to all rape victims, reversing their decision days before a new state law requires it.
The church, which runs four of the state’s 30 hospitals, had fought the state law requiring medical personnel to give rape victims emergency contraception, sold as Plan B, even if the women are ovulating.
Church officials had said the treatment was tantamount to abortion and had been considering legal action, but they took a step away from that position Thursday, in a joint statement by the Catholic Bishops of Connecticut and leaders of the Catholic hospitals.
The hospitals will be allowed to provide Plan B without ovulation tests “since the teaching authority of the church has not definitively resolved this matter and since there is serious doubt about how Plan B pills work,” the statement reads. “To administer Plan B without an ovulation test is not an intrinsically evil act.”
