Thank God, maybe we can lose "gravity."
Obama's having pretty much fun tonight.
tally ho, old chap
damn, this belongs on the thread below:
The Golden Muldoon and fans.
Watching Obama's speech on MSNBC.
No teleprompter, right? He seems to be checking notes.
I like the series but I should probably point out that it's based on the assumption that Jeeves likes being the servant to a much more stupid man.
Ron Paul says he won't make a third-party run

When Einstein died.
Stephen Fry is a man of very many talents, and a genius at several things.
Kudos for saluting Fry!
Paul might beat mccainus in WA.
Hugh was a great Bertie.
Jeeves and Wooster is great stuff (or at any rate for those of us who have never actually read the books).
I like the series but I should probably point out that it's based on the assumption that Jeeves likes being the servant to a much more stupid man.
The British class system at work.
Now that I think of it, we would be better off if our rich idiots did nothing all day instead of needing to have a job (W.)
Stephen Fry is a man of very many talents, and a genius at several things.
Hear, hear!
I don't think there is anything wrong with a man defending the woman he loves. I thin kit's a good thing. A human and normal thing. Why be fake?
Fry was great in Black Adder.
I'm barely updated on The Eastenders.

Say what, now?
Stephen Fry is a man of very many talents, and a genius at several things.
I like him.
And I've always thought Hugh Laurie was adorable.
did Mr. No EarMarks lie again?
President Bush often denounces the propensity of Congress to earmark money for pet projects. But in his new budget, Mr. Bush has requested money for thousands of similar projects.
Skip to next paragraph
Multimedia
Presidential ProjectsGraphic
Presidential Projects
He asked for money to build fish hatcheries, eradicate agricultural pests, conduct research, pave highways, dredge harbors and perform many other specific local tasks.
The details are buried deep in the president’s budget, just as most Congressional earmarks are buried in obscure committee reports that accompany spending bills.
Thus, for example, the president requested $330 million to deal with plant pests like the emerald ash borer, the light brown apple moth and the sirex woodwasp. He sought $800,000 for the Neosho National Fish Hatchery in Missouri and $1.5 million for a waterway named in honor of former Senator J. Bennett Johnston, a Louisiana Democrat.
At the same time, Mr. Bush requested $894,000 for an air traffic control tower in Kalamazoo, Mich.; $12 million for a parachute repair shop at the American air base in Aviano, Italy; and $6.5 million for research in Wyoming on the “fundamental properties of asphalt.”
Jeeves & Wooster use to be on PBS.
When did our country become so stupid? -Sweet Sue

Fry was great in Black Adder.

I love "Blackadder".
NO one can say "Oh god!" with more disgust than Rowan Atkinson.
Hey Zap!
I'm looking at a quick weekend visit on March 15th - gonna be around?
Ron Paul says he won't make a third-party run
Um, so what happens to all that money he raised for presidentin'? Or should I ask?
Stephen Fry is a man of very many talents, and a genius at several things.
I like him.
And I've always thought Hugh Laurie was adorable.
Terry C, Clintonista
I hear they are the best of friends and Fry is the godfather to Laurie's kids.
You know, the very possible next president - black guy - speaking at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Richmond, VA is pretty cool.
After a while watching these on PBS during high school we came to realize that every story was effectively the same thing, but we still loved the actors.
Actually I meant Hugh Laurie in Black Adder.
echidne,
Sure, but the joke ultimately is that the servants are in charge, and much more sophisticated, educated, and "upper class" than those they serve.
Indeed, and it is funny. Of course, the servants weren't actually in charge, though.

What about the poor communist butler in "The Ruling Class" who foolishly decides to help the insane master and gets sent to jail for it.
It's a very good blog, no?
The Guardian gig that spun out of it is less good, but that's because he's an unashamed lunk of a geek. As well as being Greatest Living Englishman, natch.
The series he's filming -- visiting every US state in a black cab -- looks like it'll be fun too.
I hear they are the best of friends and Fry is the godfather to Laurie's kids.
When Fry had his breakdown and went missing, Laurie was the first person who got through to him on the phone. They've known each other since college.
Yeah, but he is reading it more than I've seen before.

He's WASTED, man!
From below:
It's very important to mention that he did not support Lieberman's independent candidacy, but endorsed and campaigned for Lamont in the general election.
Yep, which is why I think it's obvious that Obama would throw his support behind Clinton, if she were to win the nomination, and would call on his supporters to do likewise. He backed the prowar candidate in the primary, and he backed the party in the general.
KITTEH VIDEO! (with extra loud purring)

Cougarhutch
Yeah, he is. I think he must be dog's ass-tired.
Shit, he was in Seattle yesterday, tonight it's Richmond, etc etc.
Obviously the same is true of Hillary.
I'm barely updated on The Eastenders.
We just started watching it a few weeks ago. Is there any justice for the few admirable characters in that show? Because if not we're not likely to stick with it...
Bertie finally made something of himself. He got a medical degree and started hitting patients with his cane.
The Black Adder series is a good one, too.
You know, the very possible next president - black guy - speaking at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Richmond, VA is pretty cool.
Very true!
Anyone know if Doug Wilder has made any endorsements?
they're funny funny men and that's a good a way as any to chase the, "Eeeeek, I've got the creepy jesusfreak blues away!"

"Yep, which is why I think it's obvious that Obama would throw his support behind Clinton,"
he said so in this speech.
And The Vicar of Digsby, especially the early episodes. The later ones weren't that great.
The Black Adder series is a good one, too.

Not too crazy about the first one.
Black Adder comes off as too sniveling.
I guess he reminds me of Chimpy too much.

Doug Wilder's endorsement will get you a latte at Starbuck's, if you have four dollars.

I like the one with the Bucket woman. And Are You Being Served. Also, Absolutely Fabulous.
the joke ultimately is that the servants are in charge, and much more sophisticated, educated, and "upper class" than those they serve.
And one point is to imply a subtly meritocratic parallel class system, topped off by valets who worked their way up.
Jeeves stories are incredibly difficult to adapt for stage/screen/TV, because the charm of Wodehouse is in his descriptive language, not so much in the dialogue. I think he's the greatest comic writer in English since Shakespeare, greater than Wilde, but then, I'm nobody.... There used to be a vogue for Jeeves and Bertie among the young and entitled in Washington when I lived there circa 1990, but it was, predictably enough, confined to trying to emulate the way Bertie Wooster dressed and enjoying the idea of servants.
"Anyone know if Doug Wilder has made any endorsements?"
dunno, but he spoke earlier and i was disappointed they didn't show it.
Not too crazy about the first one.
Black Adder comes off as too sniveling.
But that's what he is: A guy who has no shame and no good sides at all. Funny.
Man, you are drunk.
Of course, so am I.
Shit...I must be.
No implications. Can't wait!
And The Vicar of Digsby, especially the early episodes. The later ones weren't that great.
Echidne of the snakes
The people in that village were something else, weren't they?
If we can't beat McCain this Nov. there is something seriously fucking wrong.
If the Democrats pull out a loss by pissing off the energized voters with a convention debacle, the party will have deserved to lose.
Lets see...
You're 18, from Alaska, and ya join the Army.
After boot camp your first posting just happens to be in Alaska.
How convenient is that?
Oh, it helps if your mom is the Republican Governor from Alaska.
Yea sure, her office did nothing.
But then, it helps if your Senators are Stevens and Murkowski, and your Rep is Don Young.

Okay, I have waited a thread or so. Again, have the Republicans ceded the election?

It's amazing- I never thought he'd get any real traction.
Could he win in Texas? If so, what happens then? Is McCain obligated to put him on the ticket?

A Blandings fan. I grew to prefer Blandings and Lord Emsworth even to Jeeves/Bertie. All the books are like little musical comedies without the music, although he did plenty of writing for Broadway too.

Re: Chelsea Clinton. The press criticized Hillary when her daughter avoided them and tried to stay out it. There were remarks from the press along the lines of "what, doesn't your own daughter support you?" Then, when her daughter gets in it and HIllary defends her she's still wrong. I think that majority of voters are right. Let's go with Obama.
