Good morning, y’all.
Al Franken moves on to the general election in Minneapolis against repugnant incumbent, Norm Coleman. Al has to win because it looks like Mark Warner could take Virginia and that would just be too much teeth in the Senate.
The Maron v. Seder VOD from yesterday is up now.
It’s fun to see the shows on with regularity but it is discouraging to see how little reaction that they are getting live, at least on the blogs. The IM traffic seems pretty good. I wonder if it is a bad time slot, tech problem burnout or just too little too late. I think it will be a good show and maybe ‘live’ is not that important although I enjoy the audience reaction and participation. However, I don’t think that they want to be playing to the choir. I trust them when they say it will be very different when it rolls out since it will be done from a real studio with bigger pipes on the AAR website rather than Sam’s ‘tubes. Ultimately, I hope they end up with a real over the airwaves time slot when some AAR contracts expire.
I am wondering how RG’s Minneapolis adventure went and if it was more G than R or a combination of the two. And for PJ, I am sorry about your Uncle Bill. I guess my Dad is the last person standing of that generation though he is drifting into a different place. It is saddening and sobering.
Happy Humpty!
Here’s the MP3 link for M v S 09-09-2008.

If I could go back in time I’d take down the redundent last post :fustrate:
No, you posted while I was :jerk: and got the ‘scoop’,
I hope they’re able to weave a little more humor in. I ended up feeling a little hopeless when it was all said and done. They should just stay in the same room and give up on the split screen- what’s the point if they’re both in NYC?
Morning vern :joe:
I think they will be in the same studio when in NYC just like the other AAR cams. For now they still don’t seem to even have an office. This is just the remnant of the old format.
I think that there is more humour coming as well. They will have more than just sitting and ruminating.
Sarah Palin action figures!
I like the Catholic school girl one myself.
But I think I’ll wait for the Sarah Palin blow up doll.
Are the dolls fully posable? So that I can bend them over to get her head up her ass, just like it is in real life?
Speaking of head up ass, maybe it’s mine, but I’ve tried to get MVS at work the last two days with no luck. I tried the link in Marc’s email notice on Monday, no good. Tried to get to it from Sam’s website yesterday, nada. That would be why I’m not listening or posting. Not that I could post from work until after 4:30 anyway.

Well, those knees seem to be fully articulated, so what else do you need? Actually, I was thinking of getting the Obama one, and having him ravage her, Mandingo-style. That should get all the cracker wingnuts worked up.
I also like the John McCain pez dispenser. He reminds me of Commodore Pike, which is who they ought to have McCain emulate (boop once for yes, twice for no). Then they can have Palin dress up in a Yeoman’s outfit.

Vernon, thanks for the links. I’ll give them a shot this afternoon.
Was it something I said? Eek.
No, everybody’s just hanging out over at eBay, trying to score a Caribou Barbie doll.

Great name for a band.
Maron v. Seder 9-10-2008 MP3 links
Submitted by Cat Chew on Wed, 09/10/2008 – 5:26pm.
I believe that they said no show tomorrow but they would be doing one Monday through Thursday next week. They seemed to be a little off put by an IMer asking if they were going to have the Funny on the new show.
Yeah, Trip, you got under Sammy’s skin a bit I think.
I was thinking of IM’ing Maron and asking him to tell Sam to shut the fuck up when he was talking.
Yes, Vernon, you shook them up a bit. And Maron was feeling guilty about misusing a lonely Rethug in NYC.
Government officials in charge of collecting billions of dollars worth of royalties from oil and gas companies accepted lavish gifts, steered contracts to favored firms and engaged in illicit sex with employees of the energy companies, federal investigators reported today.
Investigators from the Interior Department’s inspector general’s office said more than a dozen employees, including the former director of the oil royalty program, accepted gifts including ski trips, sports tickets and golf outings. The report alleges that the former director, Gregory W. Smith, also arranged side deals that personally netted him more than $30,000.

It was all artnorton’s fault (#4).
I never got three reactions to a single IM before. Sam is in danger of becoming the straight man there. It is funny how when Sam is distracted or off the air, Maron starts to play around and make fun of him.
Seder’s attitude toward Maron annoys me now and then.
Vernon, thanks again for the links. Audio AND video today. Sweet.
:yippee:
So let me see if I have this correct…
… Obama takes measures to protect young children from molestation.
The McCain campaign runs a TV ad criticizing Obama for doing this and completely misrepresenting the intention of the bill.
Are we to then assume that McCain is in favor of child molestation?
“Come here, my little friends. Sit on my lap while I tell you sweet lies, my little friends.”
(I will now pause the narrative to allow the reader to either hurl or take a shower. Or both. Or maybe even hurl in the shower.)
Of course, there’s a chance that maybe McCain isn’t actually in favor of child molestation. Maybe he just hasn’t decided on his position yet. After all, no one likes a flip-flopper.
Unfortunately, I CAN picture McSlime smirking at some poor young boy sitting in his lap. :barf:
Perhaps his problem with the bill is that he objects to protecting kids. Palin’s convinced him that’s the Lord’s work, not government’s.
Damon talks about Palin
I totally agree and I am not sure that helps.
Then again, I just finished watching the first 3 parts of O’Bama v. O’Really just now.
It’s possible he was annoyed because the question about the Funny was asked twice. So, how does one get on the IM? I’ve tried several times with no success. I may need step by step instructions. :smack:
KP, I’ve never been able to accomplish it either.
I am pretty sure it was my IM to MM both were reading. Marc verbatim first and then they went back to it.
Fernando’s IM primer. Dunno if I can say it is accurate. It is different on PC and Apple but I have it working on both. I use the AIM. Never tried Yahoo.
A few people like Trillian which I thinks works across ‘platforms’.
I think the AOL IM works because it is what they both use.
You can IM to AIM accounts via GoogleTalk.
Oh, sure…., blame it on art for pissing sam off (#22) :banana:
Okay, so I downloaded the AIM software but it won’t click and drag to the applications folder. :tap:
Why does Sarah N Wrap remind me of Peggy Hill ?
http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/king-peggy-hill6.jpg
Yes! Sarah is Peggy Hill. And McCain is Cotton.
Cotton — the old mummified turd!!! Yes!
And Bush is a combo of the verbal skills of Boomhauer, the dimwittedness of Bill, and the vindictiveness of Dale.

Doh! And of course I figured I was the only one to make this association. I must remember to google first.
