Et vous, madame...
The Prof scores!
(appreciatively massages fez)
I hope McCain can go back to his day job soon.
crying over those townhall debates again.
Bo, and a deserving Marsupial he is.
they're doing The View on snl.
as crap as the original
...and a 2000 Reserve Barolo to toast the acceptance.
If you are going to go for it, go for it. It's live teevee.

whoopi!!!
Uncle B, I don't know what Monsieur has, but it's settled heftily into his lungs and he feels like crap. He got some antibiotics yesterday and an inhaler. Hasn't taken effect yet.
I mean Palin 2012? ZOMG! They have no concept of the long-term trends here.
...
C-word joke on SNL?!!
McCain's last joke on SNL went something like this:
"Remember America Country First, which reminds me all undergarments are non-returnable, and LIVE FROM NEW YORK..."
whoa, did I get that right?
for real?
Am I missing something?

My overly imaginative brain is telling me, John figured it out, he let them whore him out, put a trollop in as his partner and now he is setting things right.
Not that it means a hell of a lot.

Isn't anyone the least bit worried K-Lo will drown herself in a bathtub full of Ben and Jerry's ice cream?
Their only hope is to ressurect the Rockefeller wing and hope things get really bad, but they are way too deep up their own asses ever to do that.
What does this refer to?
I got robocalled tonight by let freedom ring, a pushpoll, lying about Franklin Raines, Obama's tax plan, I forget what else
Somebody made the mistake today of suggesting to me that Democrats, unlike Republicans, would be 'partisan' in appointing Supreme Court justices.
Words failed me. Then, the suggestion was made that I wasn't educated enough to have an informed opinion on the subject.
Gestures failed me...

Only because it would be a huge waste of some good Ben + Jerry's.

The mind boggles.
"that I wasn't educated enough to have an informed opinion on the subject."
You should not get into political arguments with the kid at the take out window.

Which reminds me, time for the rest of the meds
So when does the 2012 campaign kick in? Oh wait, it just did.
Supreme Commander, I like the extended release stuff. Once in the morning, once at bedtime.
"Gestures failed me..."
Nah - left hand on right elbow, raise right forearm, extend middle finger.
hat would have worked...
Dudes, I really respect you for trying. Buts lets not get all crazy about that. Remember there is a man on the ground who is trying.
so what happened with McOld? I'm a westie here, and I'm not tuning in.
I am very much hoping that, when Obama sits down in the Oval Office, and gets the real dope on what's happening, that he throws out Robert Rubin on his ass, hires Dean Baker, or Krugman, or both, and pitches the entire Joint Chiefs and their sycophants out, too.
There is an analogous situation here. Kennedy spent most of his 1960 campaign talking about the missile gap with the USSR, and when he came to office, he realized that all his advisors and the pundits had been outright lying about the USSR's advantage.
I sincerely hope that Obama realizes he's been lied to all along, too, and takes appropriate steps to undo the damage created by Bush's and Cheney's grand "war on terror."
I'm not hopeful he will, but, one has more hope that he might than if McCain is elected.
McCain will do worse than Bush. He's even stupider than Bush, and even less in control of his faculties.
Somebody made the mistake today of suggesting to me that Democrats, unlike Republicans, would be 'partisan' in appointing Supreme Court justices.
With 8 years of Obama, we JUST might get to move the pointer one notch to the left.

The stuff I'm on tends to kick in after 10 minutes. Pretty soon I'll be stranger than I normally am.
It's an interesting assumption, that disagreement is based solely on ignorance. Not sure it's the case; often, there seems a positive will to remain uninformed, or to interpret things in a certain way.
Anon, which part of Westiness are you?

"Before it does, could you toss some over here?"
overall the physical therapy has done more for me...
I actually lost weight while being off for a month
now SNL is doing Countdown
OMG they are doing Olbermann on SNL
Just watching TV5 (french tv station for the US) and they are talking to the guys who called Palin. The reporter asked how they got through to her - they told Palin's staff he was Nicholas Sarkozy. Since Palin's team had no idea who the French president was and they just assumed that it was a legitimate call and didn't bother to check that the call was coming from Quebec.
Classic!

Anon, Candydrunk
He did the opening scene with Tina Fey. They made it an infomercial and it seemed like he was resigned to the fact that he will have his ass handed to him on Tuesday.
Just in case you needed another slice of 'Thuglican assholery of desparation.

I'm personally related to people who think that if two random people punched two random strangers on the street, the two people who are wrong are the Democrat who punched and the Democrat who stopped a fist with his face.
I don't know how funny this Countdown skit is gonna be, but wardrobe? Nailed it.

Uncle B, I was really scared to get back to work after my two weeks off, but after a week, I got my groove back on. It was actually therapeutic to be back.

I think it's not about what Obama believes, but about how soon he can get the electorate to finally climb down from all the Terra Terra Terra hysteria. He's smart enough to see that it's counterproductive.
why does Ben Affleck makes Keith sound british?
It sounds like a recycled Rod Serling accent.
ProfWombat, the only time outside of academic formalities that I use my honorific is if someone is being a major asshole to me.
I insisted that Mlle's sickass social worker in the hospital call me Dr. H.

bill
I'm picking that up from him a lot, when he said he'll have a great life back in AZ, when he laughed sardonically when he said "we've got them right where we want them", when he said that Sarah Palin would be a leader "whether as Veep or..." and then caught himself and made that face. That's why Rachel Maddow's concern trolling has been driving me nuts.

good lord.
"why does Ben Affleck makes Keith sound british?"
Affleck in reality has the acting skills fo Stephen Baldwin.

Gilly Gonzylon
of course. my mistake
I had a fairly productive day. I voted this morning, Then I went shopping for clothes. Found three pairs of shoes that fit, which is amazing. I've have neolithic European swamp dweller feet. 10&1/2 WWWWWW. Or something like that. Shoes are not made for my feet so I judge them on their ability to slip about my footcakes like OJ simpson's glove. Then I ate some mousaka at a Greek restaurant. Came home, fed the dog and took a nap.
lol at Afleck doing Olbermann on SNL
Olbermann sketch, good idea, performed well.
Writing, for the most part miserable.
snl sure has wolfe down, even if the rest of this skit is over the top
This one goes on for another 12 minutes.
Old Man, my second favorite digital deity!
I hope you are in better health than my first favorite digital deity!
wow. Ben Affleck finds Ben Affleck funny...
Stick with the PT and exercises, it will pay off.
I went down on Ben Affleck and passed out before I could finish.
Olbermann sketch, good idea, performed well.
Writing, for the most part miserable.
agreed
still 
Like when I said it was live tee vee I was just kidding.
SNL trying for more false equivalence?
Doodz, get over it, McPalin are a buffoon.

That's bogus. Blue balls are no laughing matter.
"It was actually therapeutic to be back."
I'm sure.
And you know - I got to reflect on what I do - Re: the blog - and I realize I want to do it.
I also realized that some of these stories actually come with flashbacks.
the remembered anger that came with one that I posted tonight was kind of scary...
Stunt Woman, from boredom?
Word.
Now, Matt Damon. That's another story.
ok this is really very funny
Brought up from the dead thread:
Hey, you SWG veterans out there, SOE is offering another free month of NGE goodness for you to ponder and then say "yeah, I was right to cancel three years ago".
Obama in Springfield, Mo.
Posted by Karen Tumulty | Comments (9) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Email This
This conservative southwest corner of the state went nearly two-to-one for George Bush in the last election. Not since 1964 has a Democrat carried this county. So people in Springfield were surprised when Obama showed up in July, and didn't take him all that seriously when he promised to come back. But here we are, late on a Saturday night, just three days before the election, and Obama is speaking here on a high school football field to a crowd that numbers in the tens of thousands.
So, it sounds like McCain is committing pop culture seppuku on SNL, admitting it's all done...am i right?
It has been a very, very long time since I've allowed my beauty sleep to be put off by SNL.
Why are the really bad skits the longest skits?
sallyh: 'Mr' is appropriate for a lawyer, 'Dr' for a surgeon, 'hey Wombat' for a friend.
And, for you, m'dear, well, there remain proprieties I observe in public, though, it seems, fewer every year...
Usually seems that the folk with the most to brag about don't do it all that often...
Now, Matt Damon. That's another story.
Stunt Woman
Jason Bourne for President, dammit.
I hope you are in better health than my first favorite digital deity!
hi Sallyh! sry to hear Monsieur is not well.
Stunt Woman, I'm with you there. I'd do Matt.
bill: maybe they just seem the longest...
Don't forget the time change

I bet they are crapping themselves over the Bioware SW MMO that's coming.

Not that blatantly.
affleck as olberman is a riff on the physical appearance comedy. performance can never outweigh writing, as a commenter smarter than I has pointed out above.
plus, already twice as long as it should be
Now, Matt Damon. That's another story.
Stunt Woman
But he would bludgeon you to death just as you finished and then assume your identity.....
bill: maybe they just seem the longest...
ProfWombat
That would be an understatement
ProfWombat, only if you're going to go on a power trip with me am I going to make you address me in such a fashion.
I cherished my late gynecologist because when he met me, I was addressed as Dr. H, after which I told him to use my first name. But I appreciated that he respected his patients that much.
affleck as olberman
I think he'd be a more convincing Maddow.

That's a great movie.
Dude you stilled fucked Matt Damon.
Robert Ludlum, for a hack writer, is bitterly opposed to utilitarianism. In one of his books, forget which, he actually lays into Jeremy Bentham by name...
affleck as olberman is a riff on the physical appearance comedy. performance can never outweigh writing, as a commenter smarter than I has pointed out above.
They should have just done the Special Comment, would have made the sketch half as long and twice as funny.
Ugh. Texas lost to the Lubbock Gay Blade in poor fashion.
I regret what happens next.

Now, Matt Damon. That's another story.
Stunt Woman

He might try that but he would fail like so many name-stealing trolls on a lame blog.
ProfWombat, a hack he might have been. But his books are great for the beach or long airline flights.
There should be term limits to SNL writers
a crowd that numbers in the tens of thousands.
Wow thats incredible for Springfiled.
Springfield is the nearest large town to Branson, MO. BTW, so if Obama is drawing a crowd there, he could draw a crowd almost anywhere.
Affleck, for what it's worth does a better Olbermann than he does Daredevil.
plus, already twice as long as it should be
mrs. ibrahim al-jafaar
So it's like a Special Comment?
/ducks/
Gilly, should they then be neutralized?
"There should be term limits to SNL writers"
Also for the skits.
Hot steamy New Mexican sheets.
sallyh: I tried equality. Everyone got the honorific/last name; and, if they wanted me to use their first name, they'd be offered mine. Very few took it. They really, really didn't want to be on the same level with their surgeons, most of the time. I found that difficult, actually...

Sounds like you're taking charge, UB. That's even better.
Yeah, two hours, less than that. The end bitty is real, real shocking, if I do say so myself.
ProfWombat, I'm on a first name basis with my internist, but he's been my internist for 23 years and we're only a few years apart in age.
I never addressed my gynecologist as anything but Dr. R. I loved him dearly, and his untimely death from pancreatic cancer saddened me greatly.
"Sounds like you're taking charge, UB. That's even better."
Yep. In a lot of ways - like being ok with being a cranky motherfucker
I've oft found Ludlum a guilty pleasure. Can't defend him seriously; not a great writer, cardboard characters, repetitive plotting. Go figure.
But I do like his repeated notion of a cruel system turning on its own, who then have to act outside it to save both themselves and the world. Shorn of histrionics, it's not a metaphor without resonance...
"I never addressed my gynecologist as anything but Dr. R."
my boss when I worked for temple as a sub / literacy researcher in several north philadelphia schools is still dr. gill to me.
We're friends now but I can't call him tom. I have too much respect for him - he earned a title
btw - he looks like and talks like colonel sanders - and was loved by the community around those schools.
I've oft found Ludlum a guilty pleasure. Can't defend him seriously; not a great writer, cardboard characters, repetitive plotting. Go figure.
Me too. I was a sucker for the multimillionaire-fascists keeping the dream of the Third Reich alive. And the brainy women who swooped in and helped out intrepid heroes fight teh evil.
I'm less embarrassed about my more enduring affection for LeCarré. Can't wait to read the new one.
Blue: absolutely; folk will read LeCarre in a hundred years, I'd confidently expect, trying to understand his time. A completely different league. And the Alec Guinness 'Smiley's People' is a small-scale masterpiece.
