Two years ago today, the final Morning Sedition aired. Coincidentally, it was snowing here that day, too (more than it is now, from this “killer” storm). In fact, my listening was rudely interrupted by someone who thought I ought to be out shoveling so she could get to work. Talk about misplaced priorities. Anyhow, should you care to relive the moment, you can get the show here.
Anyways, on Press the Meat today, Timmy Potatohead devotes the hour to the Massachusetts chameleon, Marvelous Mitt Romney. See where Mitt stands on the issues this week.
At CBS, Grandpa Fred Thompson Fazes the Nation, and then Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer shows us the opposite end of the spectrum (that is, somebody with some life left in him – and no trophy wife), John Edwards.
Over at Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace provides coverage of the most important story in the whole wide world, as he hosts George Mitchell, on to talk about steroids in baseball. :yawn: Then it’s Pete “Hokie” Hoekstra and Jane Harman, on to talk torture (what’s worse, watching Bill O’Reilly, or being waterboarded?), plus the usual Fux News hacks and shills. And Fux’s “Power Player of the Week,” Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitals (no steroids in hockey, eh).
At the Goebbels network, live from Iowa, it’s John Edwards. Also up, Alan Greenspan (you know, I’m not saying Andrea Mitchell is a beauty queen, but, jesus, Andrea, how the hell much Jack Daniels and Valium does it take to get into bed with that fucking guy?), and a roundtable of political mastermind Donna Brazile, Claire and Jay Shipman-Carney, and, of course, George :jerk: Will. And This Weak’s “Voice” is Brad Pitt, who’s trying to build 150 affordable and eco-friendly homes for families who lost it all in Katrina.
On Wolf Blitzer’s Late Emission, the favorite of son of Florida’s Jewish population, Pat Buchanan, the next President of the United States, John Edwards, Edwards’ Secretary of State, Joe Biden, Evan Bayh, and Kit “waterboarding is like swimming” Bond.
Later, on 60 Minutes, A-Rod tells Katie Couric he never used steroids (who cares?), Lesley Stahl reports that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is becoming “Please Don’t Tell ‘Cuz We Don’t Wanna Hear it,” and Bob Simon goes to a pristine, barely touched by humans spot in Indonesia. Let’s hope it doesn’t now become a tourist attraction.
Plus, it’s the season finale of Dexter.
Have a good Sunday.

The sun is up but it’s dark and dreary out. It snowed a couple of inches, and now it’s raining. Snow + rain equals slush. I ordered new boots suitable for dogwalking, but I missed the UPS guy and so…I have NO boots. This is not going to be fun. I think I’ll have coffee, first. For once, the dogs don’t seem to want to go out either. Could they be getting wiser? Nah, the dark is just fooling them.

I walked the dogs. It’s not too cold out but tit’s drizzling and the slush is deep and, well…slushy. The worst part of slush is that it masks the puddle beneath it. So, I hope the dogs’ coats and my dry before we have to do this again.
Unless there is a miracle, this stuff will freeze this evening and make a trip outside cold and slippery. Ooooh, I can’t wait.

Japan scientists develop fearless mice By KAORI HITOMI, Associated Press Writer
Thu Dec 13, 7:01 PM ET
TOKYO – Cat and mouse may never be the same. Japanese scientists say they’ve used genetic engineering to create mice that show no fear of felines, a development that may shed new light on mammal behavior and the nature of fear itself. … (continue)
Wow! You go Ms. Dennett. Maybe she should be a journalist instead of a math teacher.
And how did this experiment show that fear is not learned?? Why can’t both be true, that fear is both learned and genetic. I would argue that the fear was learned first and then became genetically imprinted after many generations of mice who survived because of their fear. :smack:
It really bugs me when scientists learn something new and replace the current belief instead of integrating it. Do they think that my dog was born with a fear of bearded men? :rant1:
Turkish warplanes targeting Kurdish rebels bombed villages deep in northern Iraq on Sunday, killing one woman and forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes, local officials said.
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL1653612720071216?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews
This cannot be good.
Presumably critters born with a natural fear of predators survived to pass that trait along to their descendants. The mice who said, “aw, what a cute kitty, I think I’ll go make friends,” didn’t do a whole lot of procreating.
I bet the journalist got that wrong and not the scientist.
So, is there video on that last Maron VS Seder? It downloaded on itunes and all I have is sound.
Kristapea, I hope this works … :dancers: .. :fist: .A!I!V!

I did not know it was on iTunes.
FYI
Last Live Seder On Sunday for 08
Submitted by SEDER on Sun, 12/16/2007 – 9:31am.
SHould be a barnburner…. :fire: if I can dig out form the snow and make it to the studio… Next week and the week after, two brand spanking new book shows. You will love them.
Also, all this week I am filling in for Randi 3-6pm est!
Good chance Maron v. Seder will happen later in the week.
😳 thank you Vernon ….. I tried :doh: but your shoes were too big to fill :hubba: 😉 … A!I!V!
Thanks Vern, I’m so glad I get to see what Marc’s kitchen looks like. AND, for bonus you get to see what his hot water heater looks like. How many celebrities hot water heaters do you get to see?? Huh???
Do they think that my dog was born with a fear of bearded men?
Comment by Kristapea — December 16, 2007 @ 9:20 am
OK, Krista, spill. Who was the bearded man and what did he do to your dog? There HAS to be a good story behind this. It wasn’t Maron, was it?
Just for the record, I shaved today. 😀
Yesterday before a crowd of 200 sycophants in Tampa, Guidi Ruliani debuted his new campaign slogan:
Tested. Ready. Now.
I have a better slogan for this idiot:
Corrupt. Fascist. NEVER!!!
:fu:
Is it fear of bearded men, or fear of merkins?
Do they think that my dog was born with a fear of bearded men?
I don’t know about your dog, Krista, but mine certainly was! He also retreats with fear whenever a tall, skinny man approaches. That is a learned behavior, though.
Ham’n’cheese muffins in the oven and I wish I could share them with all of you. But at least I can give you the recipe.
Gypsy’s Ham’N’Cheese Muffins
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cups rye flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
pinch salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
2 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional)
1/2 cup cooked ham, finely chopped
1/2 cup swiss or cheddar cheese, grated (alter proportions of ham and cheese to suit your own palate)
1 egg (I used egg substitute and it was fine)
1 cup milk (I used skim and, again, it was fine)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish (optional and adjust to taste)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine first seven ingredients and mix well. Add ham and cheese and stir in to coat all pieces.
In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add wet ingredients. Stir until just moistened.
Spoon into greased (or Pam’ed) muffin pan, filling each cup 2/3 of the way up.
Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until lightly gold on top. Remove from pans immediately.
I just thought of another thing to do with these. Dust the bottoms of the muffin cups with cornmeal. Makes it a teensy bit more like corn rye. And next time I’ll try it with dry mustard in addition to the dijon.
And now I’m off to watch Seder V Maron (now that I’ve got a good enough connection) and then I’m searching for smoked salmon with cream cheese muffin recipes to futz around with and make the way I want them…
Well, it looks like some of the snowplows got fixed.
We’ll see how the ride in to
:slap: :reaper: SiCKO Land :reaper: :slap:
is tomorrow. :cold:
Stay warm, Bloggies :jesus:
:fist: A!I!V! :fist:
She came with the fear of bearded men. Could have been the dog catcher for all I know. But she’ll get over her fear if she sees that I think they are okay. Like she had problems with my friend Bob for a long time and when she saw us hug she got over it. Now she loves him. Nellie is very possesive and she’ll lay into a dog if she sees me petting them, so, I’m not allowed to pet other dogs. Although it’s okay if other people pet her! :tap:
RAGING Granny :rofl2: 😆 WOW :cold: That Video … 😯
I don’t know to laugh or cry. :rofl2: which reminds me to make Fire :tommygun: :cold: :fist: A!I!V! :fist:
Is it just me or do all the Seder-Maron sessions difficult to watch? And after 30 to 45 minutes the whole thing just stops. Sometimes, if I ignore it for a while, it’ll start up again for a few minutes but generally it just stops.
I need to go make an apron now…..
Gypsy YUM {without ham} :peace: .
I use to make some simply wonderful Corn Bread {Natural, of course, yu all 😉 }
Well, I guess I should “pop” some corn. 🙄 😉 :dancers: A!I!V! …KP and Gypsy……….. and as me Grandfather would say, “Boof Woof” to :pup: :pup:
so, I’m not allowed to pet other dogs. Although it’s okay if other people pet her! :tap:

Faraday says he doesn’t get what the problem is. I sometimes dog sit and he objects strenuously if I come into the house with alien dog smell on me. And don’t even ASK what he does when I cat sit!

sniff 8) I FINALLY heard the Kent Jones Farewell :dancers: :bong:
Hey Gypsy!
Yeah the Seder V Maron thing was constantly stopping on me and I just had to get up and forward it a bit. Very annoying, but as we all know, we’ll do anything to get a glimpse of Maron cooking oatmeal in his kitchen. :hot: :hubba:
:cold:
Well, snow’s a comin’ down pretty good up here. PJs out there shoveling. Will probably have to shovel again in the ayem so we can get to the street & to our glamor jobs in the exciting world of health care. His is LOTS more glamorous than mine :ear:
:yippee: Hi, Gypsy!! Nice to seeya — the muffins sound yummy :nod:
I watched the Maron-Seder thing earlier, too, and it paused a couple of times but went pretty smoothly for the most part. Very depressing ending. I heard that & then listened to Kent’s farewell :knit2: :knit2: :knit2: 🙁 🙁 🙁
Watching the Johnny Cash movie in HD — geez — How did women live in those damn high heels!! — Dynamite version of “It Ain’t Me” :hubba: :hubba: :hot: :hot:
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.), who was on the national Democratic ticket in 2000, will cross the aisle to endorse Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) tomorrow, Republican sources said.
The two will appear together on NBC’s “Today” show tomorrow, then at an 8 a.m. town hall meeting in Hillsborough, N.H. They will talk with reporters after the meeting.
snip
The endorsement came as one of McCain’s rivals for independent voters — Rudy Giuliani — began to pull back in New Hampshire and refocus his energy and resources in Florida and other states with later contests.

:yuck:
As Mike Huckabee gains in the polls, the former Arkansas governor is finding that his record in office is getting more scrutiny. One issue likely to get attention is his handling of a sensitive family matter: allegations that one of his sons was involved in the hanging of a stray dog at a Boy Scout camp in 1998. The incident led to the dismissal of David Huckabee, then 17, from his job as a counselor at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Ark. It also prompted the local prosecuting attorney— bombarded with complaints generated by a national animal-rights group—to write a letter to the Arkansas state police seeking help investigating whether David and another teenager had violated state animal-cruelty laws. The state police never granted the request, and no charges were ever filed. But John Bailey, then the director of Arkansas’s state police, tells NEWSWEEK that Governor Huckabee’s chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor’s request. Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee’s Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer’s intervention as improper and terminated the conversation. Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee’s office and fired. “I’ve lost confidence in your ability to do your job,” Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was “I couldn’t get you to help me with my son when I had that problem,” according to Bailey. “Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son,” says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, who worked closely with Bailey and called him a “courageous” and “very solid” professional.

These guys are disgusting.
What is it with these guys and dogs? (Wasn’t that a hit Broadway musical?)
There’s Queen Judiani with her puppy torture.
Romney tying his pooch to the car roof, to remind us that Mitt rhymes with dogshit.
Now this. I guess the only way the other Repigs can top this is to get caught having sex with a dog, although in light of some other Repig escapades, I wouldn’t put it past any of them.
Sleep with one eye open, Fido. :pup:
Speaking of Willard, I tried watching the MSNBC rerun of this morning’s Press the Meat, but could only make it through the first 20 minutes. Although I give myself some credit, because I thought I’d be cashing out before that.
In the middle of questioning Willard concerning his occasional :rofl2: flipflopping, Timmuh brought out a couple of brightly colored flippers, and explained that they are sometimes passed out at rallies to be used as a heckling device.
Mom, I just decided what I want for Christmas! :banana:
Kevin, these are cruel, emotionally infantile people who are unable to empathize with other creatures, human or not. (I must be channeling Jeanine tonight.)
I just walked the dogs. It is weird outside. The wind is fierce. (My Weather Wizard says a steady wind in the 40’s with gusts up to 60. The temp is 38 but the wind is fairly warm.
My dog’s coat is secured with Velcro. The wind blew it off her and grabbed the newspaper I was carrying and blew it down the street.
