So, I said to my wife, I said, “get your filthy asparagus outta my beer mug, you Cindy McCain, ya.”
No, not really of course, or I wouldn’t be alive to write this. But I do find this whole McCain temper thing to be just too goddamn stereotypical of the Irish. I blame Notre Dame, of course. Oh, sure, people understand how demeaning using native Americans as sports team mascots is, but “Fightin’ Irish?” That’s seen as acceptable. Why not call them the “Drunken Irish,” or the “Ditch Diggers” or something?
It’s about time we put an end to it, damnit. And crazy ass Irishmen like McCain (of course, he’s not Catholic so he’s only fake Irish) should be the first to go. Along with Pat Buchanan, Bill Orally, and the rest of their ilk. And Notre Dame, too. I’ve always hated them.
It’s time the good Irish – like me, Kevin, Vernon, Michael Moore, etc, took back our heritage – and our good names – from these bastids. Otherwise, we’ll have to get hammered and kick some ass!
I am with you “Patty” :pirate: :yippee: :banana:

I have been up for a about an hour plus, but tummy was hurting and sour…so I hugged my Hunter Green long and very warm robe and crouched over and hugging tummy or petting. Tummy is better now but only water at this time. I think I finally had tooooo much tea. :blech: 8) … ugh but better :cat:
I :love: AND MISS MARC :fire: 8) and want him back now!
ALPHA :fist: A!I! Water :banana: :40: 8)
…and get more than 2 1/2 to 3hrs sleep :yawn: 8)
Beta!
Or Siamese Fighting Fish. Or Drunken Siamese Fish. Or Ditch Digger Fish.
Other than McCain wants a Hundred Years War, no benefits for veterans, no training for reserves, no medical insurance for poor children, huge tax cuts for the rich and infamous and a German sedan in every garage he might be a really nice guy. After all look how well Joe McCarthy worked out for America..
Druid, feel better. Something is going around that includes tummy aches. All the kids and their teachers seem to be catching it.
As for McInsane, he doesn’t seem to exhibit the Irish facility with words. Perhaps he’s a fake.
Marc has ruined my night’s sleep, but lawd it was nice to hear him on the ol’ wireless.
Gotta work. Blog later. Have a good one.

Like George Carlin (another wise person of Irish descent) used to say:
Irish consciousness. When we’re conscious, we’re great!
:rofl2:
I was going to suggest that all of us get together and kick McInsane’s ass, but then I realized that would only perpetuate the stereotype.
Flipping the script might be better. Since he seems to enjoy calling his wife nasty names, maybe he’d prefer playing for the other side. Perhaps a visit from that formerly famous Irishman Boy George. Or Oscar Wilde from beyond the grave.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Besides, he’s already been caught on camera letting Holy Joe whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Who knows what they do in private.

WAIT A GOSH DARN MOMENT ❗
I be a Conway … Conway from the County Cork … with my Banner and Colours of my Clan … thanks be to my dearly departed Uncle and due To Me … there are castles and a few towns … NONE belonging to this Irish-ish lass…….and my great grandmother lived to be the good age of 104 ……………
And I was born and raised Catholic — although friends nicely called me a Catholic Witch.
ALL priests during my youth plus….were from the homeland (motherland).
I did not truly know I was a hybrid,,,,
everyone thought my temper and “passion” and theatre was from my Irish…..
then even after learning Irish (a bit)
I found out I was ALSO Mexican & Apache,,,,,,,,,,,
thus anger mixed with the Bloody Aztec or the Hmmm Apache or the Bloody Fighting Irish — the Irish not as “deadly” only bloody :slap: … :pirate: :yippee: … :fist: A!I!
My first VERBAL-ish fight was when I was 5 years with a 3rd grader…where I was protecting another 5 year old…
TANKARD TEA TIME :dancers: … TUMMY HAD ENOUGH OF STRAIGHT WATER. :40:

And Thank You Sue P…. Tummy Is Better and Tea when I awake 😉 , hopefully in 2hrs. :yawn: … :pup: :cat: :billcat: A!I!
California Drinking Song
So drink, tra la la,
Drink, tra la la,
Drink, drank, drunk last night,
Drunk the night before;
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before;
For when I’m drunk, I’m as happy as can be
For I am member of the Souse family.
Now the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old Germany.
There’s the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,
The Rotterdam Dutch, and the Irish.
Sing glorious, victorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.
Here’s to the Irish, dead drunk. The lucky stiffs…. :alc: :40:
I love the Fighting Irish logo. We just painted that in a model home last week.
Patty/Paddy Irish Derogatory slur word for Irish people. Used mainly in Britain. Similar negativity connotations as “nigger”. Comes from St. Patrick.
The Racial Slur Database
# The most prevalent theory is based on the term “Paddy” (a common Irish shortening of Patrick), which was used (sometimes as derogatory slang) to refer to Irish people.[3] Irishmen made up a large percentage of the officers of early police forces in many American cities. Thus, this theory suggests that the concentration of Irish in the police forces led to the term “paddywagon” being used to describe the vehicles driven by police.
# An alternative theory is similarly based on the term “Paddy” but states that the term arose due to the number of immigrant Irish being arrested for having consumed too much alcohol and taken away in the vehicles.[4]
Paddy Wagon :fire:
I still think the worst name you can call someone is “Republican.”
It stands for so many husrtful things – bigotry, racism, class warfare, planned poverty, corruption, abuse of power…

Incomes, on average, have declined by 2.5% among the bottom fifth of families since the late 1990s, while inching up by just 1.3% for those in the middle fifth of households, according to an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute, two liberal think tanks.
The wealthiest slice of Americans, however, saw their incomes rise by 9%.
I have read elsewhere (Fortune magazine) that when inflation is considered the median income has grown approximately 1% annually over the last 15 years ending in 2005. I am doing better today than I did in the 1970s and 1980s. I have also graduated from college since then. Many of my friends from those years have simply vanished and I have no idea how they are doing. Most of them had families and couldn’t walk away from a $10/hour job to go to college at age 30. Now they can’t afford to live in America anymore since their construction, landscaping and factory jobs either went to illegals or were exported to the far east.
but Fred, thinking for today …..
Hill’s healthcare is better than Obama’s …….. I HAVE TRIED So Very Hard To Like Obama … but these are combative times :slap: .. and I have less Trust in Obama…Hillary is what is needed at this time … I am still waiting on Gore — kinda – & kinda just “watching” & “waiting” ….. :fist: :pirate: :dancers: A!I!
NC Blue & Fred, now that is what I am talking about …… I have been looking at solutions (It’s the way i iz) how about majority all to push for — at this time — but all now change to Green Party *** it is where all must go to … and I have ideas that will never work in my lifetime DEMS (after done with currest projects)… :omg:

This may bring a laugh. From DKos:
This is what Congressional spine look like:
Defying the White House, Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday the House will change its rules to avoid a required vote this year on a hotly disputed free-trade agreement with Colombia.
Pelosi said she will bring a procedural change to the House floor on Thursday that would remove the timetable under which Congress would have had to take up trade bills within 90 legislative days after they are received from the White House.
“The president took action” in submitting the Colombia free trade agreement to Congress on Tuesday, she said. “I will take mine tomorrow.”
According to Bloomberg, “A vote to delay action might put of the final decision until after the November elections.” The Bloomberg article also caught this terrific whine from the Republicans:
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said that putting off the vote is “cheating, pure and simple.” Any vote to delay action should be viewed as a vote against the accord, he said.
And Reuters has this gem from the White House:
“Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi today did something unprecedented in the history of negotiating trade deals in announcing the Democrats would change the rules in the middle of the game,” said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.
The new rule of thumb learned the hard way over the past six years: Whenever the Bush administration or the Republican Party wants to ram something through fast, screaming all the while that the sky is falling, the policy or legislation is one or all the following: 1. illegal. 2. based on mocked-up “facts” 3. benefitting corporate donors at the expense of middle America. 4. so horrible that if people took the time to consider it and read it, they would hold it against the GOP forever.
I love it when they whine. Maybe boner will cry again.

Well, it was nice to hear Marc on the radio last night. Nice to hear KP as always, too. I hope some more of you guys can call in tonight. I had NovaM on the Chumby and fell asleep to it, so I didn’t have the computer with me, but it was nice to see y’all blogging to the show. Felt like old times. I was able to listen to the full show on the podcast today. Very nice. Too bad we can’t do it on a regular basis again.
Wow, they re-made Reefer Madness as a musical? And here it is, in HD. If only I had the proper accoutrement to go with it.
:rofl2:
I’m generally not one for musicals, but I must say, this one is pretty good.
It will be difficult to do any better than the original “Reefer Madness.”
It sounds as if Marc wants to do more radio. I wonder if NovaM is still interested and whether he would accept an offer.
I’m sure NovaM is interested (all they really have is Malloy). Whether they can afford to pay what Marc would want to do the kind of quality show (paying staff and writers) he wants to do is another story. Sure would be nice to get him back on the radio, though. You folks who can stay up late should call and gently nudge him. I bet he’d have the busiest blog on NovaM (or he could always use us here; always happy to oblige).

Yay! Brian! He sounds almost coherent, doesn’t he? We need an emoticon of Brian the dog from Family Guy for Brian from Everett.
Good Holy Christ it’s good to hear Marc on the air. It’s like the universe is back in symmetry or something.
I’m debating calling the show.
Brian, Marc gives him more respect than the others.
I have Red Roses …… :dancers:
Lady Bugs or look what eats: in Organic books… :nod: 😉
My Grandmother had many different types of roses…
I’m thinking of calling as well but i’m pretty much a chickenshit.

I liked the old Brian. Maybe he can come up with a tune tomorrow.
Don’t ever suggest to Maron that he might want to steer clear of something.
I dunno about the lady bugs. I tried that and they just flew away. I think the Dr. Bomnners might work better.
sbh, you feeling bettah?
Well, they are ladybugs. Maybe they were immigrant ladybugs and Sheriff Joe scrurred ’em away.
I called last night but I was on hold so long I finished off the bottle of wine and lost focus. Sean said I didn’t sound drunk. :hot:
Yep-yup :nod:
Ugh! Sheriff Joe. He’s such an ass.

It’s midnight. Goodnight.
It’s after midnight, good morning.
I IM’d Marc with his opinion on anti-atheist Monique Davis, but he skirted the issue by saying there are wacked out atheists as well. True, but the overall statistics do not lie.
Need a podcast of tonight’s Maron-for-Malloy program? Here you go: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nxr5g3
Is there anyone in talk radio with the depth of subject, the humanity the consience plus the humor of Marc Maron anywhere ever?
