One thing you can say about Nevada – at least they get their shit over with early. And what a huge, huge victory it was for Hillary, as she raked in a whopping 12 delegates. Obama was a distant second with, um, 13 (do we really elect people this way?). Edwards, sadly, got zilch. The Obama true believers are in quite a quandary. They hate Edwards, and want him to go away. But the most recent conventional wisdom says Edwards is “stealing” votes from Hillary. So now they don’t know what to think. Fortunately, in this country, you don’t need to know what to think, ‘cuz every Sunday there’s a bunch of talking heads right there on your teevee to tell you.
For instance, on Press the Meat today, Timmy Potatohead hosts a gaggle of very serious experts ready to shit out conventional wisdom all hour long. There’s presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Newsweek editor and Bush administration shill Jon Meacham, Peggy Noonan (always ready to felate the dead body of Ronald Reagan), Tom Brokaw and NPR’s Meeeshell Norris. Whoopie.
Faze the Nation is apparently still looking for a webmaster. Maybe I should apply.
Over at Fux News Sunday, Weaselface Wallace will be Star Fuxing Mannequin Mitt Romney, fresh off his big win in Nevada, and then Chuck Schumer will pop in. Plus, it’s those zany Fux News panelists, including Brit Hume Cronyn, liberal NY Times columnist Bill Kristol, and the usual Fux News NPR whores, Juan Williams and Mara Liasson.
At the Goebbels Network, George Snufalufagus has everybody’s favorite old Italian grandmother, Guidi Ruliani (why these people continue to insist on pretending that Mr. 911 is even slightly relevant, is beyond me; he’s got less juice than Grandpa Fred), and the ever-entertaining Charlie Rangel. Then it’s a roundtable of Bush-Cheney campaign mastermind, Matthew Dowd,the Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel, Chrystia Freeland of the Financial Times (one of many women to be insulted by Chris Matthews) and of course the very serious George :jerk: Will.
On CNN’s Late Edition, U-Boat commander Wolf Blitzer has John Edwards. We should get a pool going to see how many times Wolf asks him when he’s gonna drop out.
Later, on 60 Minutes, there will be no 60 Minutes. Instead, it will be “The Age Of Warming,” where Scott Pelley goes to the poles to watch them melt, and talks to NASAรขโฌโขs top scientist studying climate, who says the Bushies have restricted what he can say about global warming. Which everybody who’s been even slightly paying attention already knows about. Maybe it’ll finally sink in to the rest of the people out there.
Nah.
Have a good one.

McInsane won the thug vote in South Carolina.. :yuck: but. where are the demodorp numbers.. ?? .. Do they still use stagecoaches for transportation and that there telegraph for instant messaging in South Carolina ?? :tap: :tap:
Fred. I knew it was time to get more Tea brew’n’ ๐ A!I!V!
The Dems South Carolina primary is next week.
Good morning. It snowed a very little bit, last night and froze. I let the dogs out and they could leave no foot prints.
The cat, Clifford, is being very intense as he watches the birds who come to eat from the bird feeder. We need a bigger feeder because the birds eat all the seeds before we get out here to refill it.
Right now, most important I need :joe: :joe:
Sometimes I am not sure if the links need sign ins so here we go again to say “Goodbye, Bob” :40: for Syracuse attendee Suzanne Pleshette who will now be rejoining her recently departed husband Tom Poston who also has West Virginia roots like his Steve Allen Show-mate, the not as recently departed Don Knotts.
Goodnight, Emily. :yawn: Sweet dreams!

Fred Thompson followed Huckabee around South Carolina, drawing enough evangelical votes from him to give the vote to McCain. I guess Grandpa Fred has conceded that he will not be the nominee. He and McCain are old friends.
Obama has one more delegate than Hillary, not because of some obscure rule about delegate selection but because the delegates are chosen by the party and that, I believe, has yet to happen at least according to Dailykos.

This, apparently, is called democracy.
Hopefully nobody will wind up with 2,025 delegates, so that the convention will actually mean something. Then on the second vote, Edwards can sneak in and win. Or maybe Edwards can come before a hopelessly deadlocked convention, and put into nomination the name of the once and future President of the United States, Al Gore.
That would be right around the time I win the lottery.
I loved The Bob Newhart Show. ๐ :gate: Is Bob Newhart still alive?
Republicans – like Limbaugh and Tom Delay – seem to not like McCain. But they don’t like old Huck, either. Grandpa Fred was a huge letdown for them. So, what? Romney? He’s certainly the teevee candidate, and he’ll say whatever they tell him to, to get elected.
I think McCain has a much better chance of beating Hillarack Clintama, myself.
Bob Newhart – Suzanne Pleshette called him old liver lips, referring to their onscreen kisses – is still alive. He’s good friends with Don Rickles (also not dead). Saw an HBO thing about Rickles – Mr. Warmth – that was just friggin’ hysterical.
Crash Landing Pilot John Coward Is a Hero
Now that’s a headline for irony isn’t it.
Don Rickles always bugged the hell out of me. ๐ก
Gore, Pres. …. Edwards VP or
Clinton VP and Attorney Gen. Edwards/Obama
Sec of State Obama/Edwards …… :tap: A!I!V!
Coward a hero. Gotta love it. Another good reason not to fly (as if security wasn’t a big enough deterrent).
Rickles is still out there performing (so is Newhart). The shit he gets away with – nobody else could. We laughed our asses off through the whole Documentary on him.
Before further:

Newhart is still at it. Sad that so many of his friends are moving on.
I think he is in pretty good shape so I suspect he will be with us for a while. He continues to work and create. I would not be surprised if he doesn’t still have another sitcom in him.
When I was a youth, I thought Laura Petrie was the perfect wife but as I grew older, Emily just blew her out of the water. For a while on CBS Saturday night it was MTM and the Bob Newhart Show and MASH and Carol Burnett. Stay home TV!
Russia’s military chief of staff said Saturday that Moscow could use nuclear weapons in preventive strikes to protect itself and its allies, the latest aggressive remarks from increasingly assertive Russian authorities.

I guess Bush really did see a kindred spirit that day he looked into putin’s eyes.
I really hate seeing my childhood favorites, and even the non faves, die. It’s very depressing. It makes me feel like my past is becoming an old faded picture. ๐
For me, it was Samantha Stevens. I could never understand why Darrin was so goddamn stupid.
“Oh, don’t use your magic powers to give me anything I want.”
Stupid bastid.
You know what sucks? If Obama wins, for the first time in my life, I’ll be older than the damn President. :omg:

Here’s more from Digby on the Nevada delegates:
Regarding the Obama claim that he’ll actually get more delegates out of this, essentially that’s spin. Derby said that the caucuses are an “expression of the support of Nevadans today.” Around 11,000 delegates were elected today. That will be winnowed down at county conventions and eventually at the state convention in May to the 25 that will go to Denver for the DNC. In 2004, Kerry didn’t win every delegate on Election Day, but most of the delegates that eventually went to the DNC were his. Once there’s a presumptive nominee, the delegate numbers are subject to change. It’s non-binding.
So, a shorter version might be, “none of this means squat?”
{EDIT}……… Sorry, cat :cat: sent :smack: it wasn’t suppose to be posted, and as I wrote it I realized it was not to be sent — only for journal.
Then The Computer and I had a bit of a problem. :slap: ๐
In the wake of his stunning victories in Michigan and Nevada :barf: , Willard has resumed running ads in Florida. So now instead of only changing the channel during 9iu11ani’s ads, I can get extra finger and wrist exercise doing it when Willard’s ads appear. Lucky me.
I have mixed emotions about it, though, since I am pulling for doggie-torturer Willard to get the Repig nomination. He would seem to be the easiest to beat, or at least the easiest to make fun of.
The election is a week from Tuesday. There’s also an initiative on the ballot to allow homeowners to take their property-tax benefit with them when they move. Tanned and sleazy Gov. Charlie Crist is scheming to pay for this measure on the backs of those of us who do not own property. Unless he is willing to chip in when my rent goes up in June, I hail this initiative with a hearty CHUCK YOU FARLIE.
:fu:
Sad to hear about Suzanne Pleshette. I’m in agreeance with vernon that Saturday nights on CBS back in the day were the shit. I think All In The Family was also in the mix for a while.
Oh man! “Katherine Harris” is gonna be on Sam’s show :smack: :jerk: We all know who that is but I’ve heard at least 2 or 3 people mention it to Jeff Farias and thought the Katherine Harris schtick was for real. But it annoys me, I can’t really take it for too long.
:fustrate:
Kp, I think the Harriss bit is tired but it seems to be loved. I just want some real Janeane back.
Those must be Ron Paul people.
Interesting video of Obama w/ SF Chronicle editorial board
Vern — # 18 :love: :love: :love: CBS Saturday night it was MTM and the Bob Newhart Show and MASH and Carol Burnett :bow: :bow: :bow:
Boy, those sure were the good old days!! They don’t make teevee like that anymore — but at one point MTM & Newhart were on during the week — damned if I can remember what day,though.
One of my daughters went to the University of Minnesota in St. Paul & used to pass the statue of MTM in downtown Minneapolis on a daily basis. All the times I have been out there, I have never seen the MTM statue — next time (sometime later this year) I will definitely go there & take pictures & post them here.
I am hoping PJ will join me on this trip. What to do with Siggy is extremely problematic whenever we want to go away together, which is why that rarely happens these days. No kennels. No strangers. My parents are too old to be able to deal with him. Maybe we can take him out there with us. We’ll have to figure it out.
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. :nixon:
#27 — Kevin — Back in the Day, All In The Family was on during the week because it was Big Time discussion at work the next day. I think it was on Tuesday or Wednesdays or maybe Thursdays. But the day after All in The Family was always a work day as I recall. And I think Laugh In was on the same night. :yippee:
Fred & Fanny Farkle and their daughter Sparkle Farkle. :love: :bow:
http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/04/16/the-five-best-lineups-in-tv-history/
1. CBS Saturday, 1973: All in the Family, M*A*S*H*, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Carol Burnett Show. All classics. If this lineup were on today, it would still get huge ratings. It’s hard for most folks to remember when these shows were originally on and it’s even harder to believe that they were once all on in the same night. It makes me wonder what the other networks were showing or why they even bothered.
Damn, I forgot All in the Family, That was later in its run. I do remember the watching the Saturday Night Massacre happening watching those shows and you know in that day CBS was all over it.
I love Minneapolis. Go to Hell’s Kitchen and get some porridge. I think Franken goes there and I think I may have directed your daughter there once. There is a great Replacements song about the skyways.
M*A*S*H WOW … All In The Family
Bob (I believe — the one with the puppet) from Soap was on I think I saw him on an ol’ 70’s show.A!!I!V! I miss Roxie :love: ๐ฅ … she also worked Graves,,, with an Attitude :pent: :fist:
OMG, has anyone ever had a chocolate cake shot? It’s half vodka and half Frangelica and you squeeze a lemon in your mouth first and then take the shot and it tastes JUST like chocolate cake. It’s so weird! :cake:

hey can anybody find a link to a video of marc ranting about times square and how a city needs a place filled with filth like times square used to be?
my connection here in scranton is too shitty to be searching for it thx sheeple ๐
I know that rant is on one of his cd’s but I can’t remember a video.
Only 35 posts :smack: :dancers: :yippee: A!I!V!
I have no idea why mine didn’t show after 35 … and I refreshed twice :smack: ๐ A!I!V!
i am pretty sure its also in one of his comedy central specials but i am not sure if i have seen the video online i know its not on his myspace page hopefully i can find it though i need to show a friend that suggested to a friend from london going to times square when he goes to nyc
If only three peaces of chocolate cake would have the same effect.. :alc: :40: :nixon: :yippee: … hick …..
It would seem that all the Reich wing media wants is Rudi .. unfortunate Rudi hasn’t even placed in the top three in most of these primaries so far.. perhaps their radio records numbers will show that they didn’t place either. :reaper: :reaper: and “Poof” :tommygun: :tommygun:
Well Sean like the guy said Pennsylvania is Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between :tap: :tap:
