Prime Time Thread

Today I almost excused myself from this community, on account of being the oddball here. Many thanks to everyone for tolerating me. I like it here, even when I have to ignore entire threads (I skipped the Palin-wants-God-to-make-her-President thread), and I like most everyone here. So, I hope I can stay.———On a more fun note, I was in Barnes and Nobles today, and guess what I saw? Yep! Bob’s book! In all it’s cheerful almost primary colory goodness! I tend to avoid Barnes & Noble, because I never exit the darned place with all of my money in tact – today I was mysteriously 43 dollars short (and 2 books, a magazine and an Obama commemorative magazine richer, but I digress). I was wandering around trying to find something useful (an APA manual in the still unlocated reference section) but instead stumbled upon the Current Affairs section – and there, in the front, was Bob’s book. I got so excited that I immediately picked it up, and nearly bought it, until I remembered that in fact – I’d already bought Bob’s book! It’s on my Kindle! I still couldn’t resist – I picked it up and thumbed through it, just in case there were color pictures (there were not), which would obviate the need for a hard-copy. I forgot, however, to check to see if there were a Bob-picture somewhere on the book. That would have sealed the deal. (What? Give a girl a break. It isn’t every day you come across a blogger with such talend, exuberance and fearlessness, combined with undies-dropping gorgeousness! I’m going to let this crush play all the way out, thank you very much!)So there you have it. If anyone has Bob’s book, and can confirm whether or not there is a Bob picture on it, that someone may make Bob an extra few bucks. LOL!QT

Ok… I’ve resisted the urge to start my own blog, there are so many bloggers out there – and there are even a few that are intelligent and whose views parallel my own (those qualities are usually, but not always, coincidental).But Sarah is makin’ me think, ya know, that it might be fun to, like, put on my pajamas and write uncomplimentary things about her, you betcha!And also.

Flannel or silk?

QT: no picture. I just went and looked. Unless you count the one of him in just his Kermit the Frog jammy bottoms hidden on page 23. And please don’t ever go skipping out of here feeling like an oddball. This place is made of oddballs–look at me, I’m as odd as they get, which I why I rarely feel comfortable anywhere but come pretty close here. You bring in a different perspective that is good and as long as you can put up with our foul mouths and agnostic/atheistic/whatever ways, we can deal with your spiritual ones (at least speaking for myself). You don’t preach. You share your opinion. There is a big difference.

Packy, I’ve always had the feeling that bloggers are out there in undies only–if that. And because they CAN be. So turn up the heat and go for it.

pardon the pun, but Amen DP!QT, we just made it through one of the most divisive political seasons in the history of The Republic. We can “muddle through” a few more heated discussions of the impact of faith on society. I for one would miss ya’!Put on your PJ’s and pull up a chair!

Wait. Bob in Kermit jammy bottoms? faintsQT

Ha “Amen”. That was good for a giggle, LF.And speaking of giggles, where the fuck is Elvis? I haven’t laughed at him in a few days and I’m getting antsy. Could he have been a rightwingnut plant with a really good sense of humor who now is back over at batshitcrazy.com reporting back on our activities? Elvis, you have left the building. COME BACK. Jane? You have been conspicuously absent too. Is the rumor true that you two are off pillaging a Glenfiddich whiskey distillery?

Somebody slap QT and get her some water. I think the image was too much.

Sorry, Bob.Bananas in pajamas have a pretty high “creepy” factor for me.

I am starting to get the feeling that Joe Lieberman will stay as Homeland Sec Chair–I will be really fuc*ing pissed if that happens.

I think it’s time for Joe to become “Joe the Outcast”Let him wander like Jobe for a while and see what he learnshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfJunZu22VU

I just KNEW there would be some open threadding going on here.I’m back from a double secret mission infiltrating Evil Russian Vodka distilleries and rescuing Elvis from certain death by his captors. He’s resting with a cold rag on his forehead.

How do Joe’s constituents feel about it?http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/Full Dem Caucus to Bend Over for Lieberman?And petition & phone #s for the Senate Democratic Steering Committee:http://liebermanmustgo.com/

Jane! Jesus Hussein Christ, where have you been?!?! I was worried you had been dragged off to Alaska and forced to spend hours shopping at ‘Out of the Closet!’In more important matters…did you bring back some vodka for the rest of us?

Kat, it was a Top Secret Mission. There were boats. And Ferraris. That’s all I can say. But I am back now.

Oh, shit! Jane, you got him. And I was looking for you in another part of the world, a much less dangerous one.When Elvis gets off the rag tell him he’d better get back on this blog. With or without cartoon jammies. Sounds like that was a close one. Thank you, Jane, for saving Elvis. And I’m glad you’re back too. Did you run into Ashby? I think the Belgian Budweiser gang might have snatched him (and he would love that term). Haven’t seen him lately but I was busy running around Glasgow and then visiting my mother.

OHMYGOD HAVEYOUSEENTHEPUPPIES???http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shiba-inu-puppy-camI’ve only just been to the site. Right now they are sleeping.

I hate the idea of Lieberfuck remaining in any sort of position of power within the Senate, I truly do. I think he should be given the ambassadorship of Timbukfuckintu and sent away for years. I’m willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one, though. Whether it means that he will now have Lieberdouche by the shorthairs or if there is some other reason for not kicking his ass out into the cold, I’m willing to trust that Obama and his pretty smart advisors – Rahmbo and Axlrose among them – know what they are doing on this one.I still signed the petitions, though.

Oooooh, puppies! Wake them up!

Puppies are waking UP! They even sound cute.

I had an epiphany tonight walking into Wal-Mart: I am watching too much MSNBC.I came to this epiphany when my son, watching a car pass with a bald 30-something white dude in it, said excitedly, “Mom! That guy looks like Joe the Plumber!!”

Yeah, when I read that Lieb is the Senate version of Waxman, for oversight, and has held NO hearings while Waxman has been a busy beaver, I got REALLY pissed. But hey, we’re not Obama, are we? Wonder what the logic is of being bipartisan yet wanting to keep someone in your party.

Lieberdouche has been a bad, bad boy. but I agree with Obama that smoothing ruffled feathers for a normally democratic leaning shithead is probably best, and will better keep his promise of reaching across the aisle. Give him a chance and if he doesn’t put up enough votes in the right places, cram Lindsey Graham’s head up his ass and send him packing from committees and caucuses.

Kat, the lesson there is to apply duck tape to the kid’s mouth before you go out in public.No, wait. The lesson is that you are going out in public too much.No, wait. The lesson is that Joe the Wurzelbacher is a douche.Yeah, that’s it.

Kat, that’s when you threaten your too-old-for-it kid with a ride on the plastic pony, grab your groceries and go home and block all news channels.It’s a bitch when you have an epiphany in Walmart. It freaks out the greeters and makes the obese-squad-in-the-scooter-carts go beep beep to get away from you. (When I had a broken foot and Really Needed one of those things they were ALWAYS used up by 2 morbidly obese women riding in tandem. Are these in every town or is it the same two women?)Oooooh, puppies awake and rolling around. Is that Elvis behind them with his cold rag making those sounds?

Seriously? Y’all are watching puppies??

Thank for the water! That was … overpowering! What was this about Elvis in shorts? I may not survive this night.QT

Liberman supported a campaign that essentially called Obama a terrorist–he also said Obama was unpatriotic. He should not hold any big chairmanships–He can stay in the caucus, but he shouldn’t be rewarded for his disgusting behavior. If he is so devoid of principles that he would go the the Republicans if the chair was taken from him, then he doesn’t deserve to be in the Dem caucus to begin with.

Elvis in shorts with puppies (sung to Beatles tune…)

Kat, puppies are here:http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shiba-inu-puppy-camMostly still sleeping but I have been warned of the cuteness. Every now and then I hear a yelp from the other tab. And when I look again they’ve snuggled into a different configuration.

Some say it was written about Extrasensory Perception since, you know, the words make that acronym and all.

Yipping!

ohmagoodness I just scrolled down and saw pics of their FACES CUUUUUUUUTE

One is about to fall off the side. Is that one named Elvis?

I totally agree, JG. I think Lieberman is a total douchenozzle and should be kicked out and sent off to the Republicans, since they seem to want him. I am just hoping that Obama, et al. know more than us and have a very good reason for keeping him around – if that is what they do. Things haven’t been decided yet.

I’m going to ramble on about POLITICS…since that’s what some of us are HERE FOR!!!!Watching clips of Matt Lauer’s interview with Mooselini on KO, I find myself thinking that she should stick around for the next 4 years. I mean…have a weekly interview with her! Perhaps a half-hour “Brunch with Sarah” segment once a month! I think that would be fantastic. That woman does more damage to herself every time she opens her mouth – far more than we could ever do.

KO taking from Bob? Or was it out there somewhere else first? I’ve forgotten…finger boo boo!

We aren’t here for puppies?I love it, Kat. PLEEEEASE find someone with the Today Show and bend their ear off their head. (ooooh little puppy noises are too cute)

I just wish our media would ask her some real questions–like why she essentially called the President-Elect a terrorist. O how was she vetted. Or about AIP.The funny thing is just like “the liberal media” label, the media lives in bizarro land with their coverage of Palin. They advance the idea that “the media” treated her poorly when she was given a free ride–no medical records, no real interviews, no pressers…just a big stonewall. And now, they are helping her rehab her image.

Holy crap we dodged a big ol’ bullet, didn’t we? What a frickin psycho Sarah is.I hope she plows through a (closed) sliding glass door. That would be ironic on several levels.

DAMN I can’t wait to see what comes out Jan 20…like from the CIA and such as.

Who cares about puppies…there are BABIES on KO!!!

Wasn’t their a secret service report that attributed her rhetoric to increased threats against Obama–why won’t they ask her that?

The puppies are making cuter sounds. Several are playing. Hale’s baby was cute in a human kind of way.JG, excellent question. But she’d have a dumb answer like “if one bullet went flying over his shoulder I’d feel really bad but hey, you can’t, like such as blame me for firing up and arming the base”.Fook teepkey.

But Kat, PUPPIES. Also.

Christ, does anyone else think that’s a frightening video. I’m gonna have nightmares tonight. “Ban-anas, in pajamas, are coming down the stairs…” Jesus fucking christ, lemme outta here! AAAAAIIIIIEEE!!!

Yes, Groobster, that was a VERY frightening video.May I suggest puppies as an antidote?

The bananas in pajamas were pretty terrifying. Especially because they were in, like, prison stripes! What are they trying to tell us?!? Convict bananas are coming to take our children!?!?

And puppies! One just squealed loudly and both my dogs came out from under their quilts on the couch and lunged at the space under my desk, looking for the puppies being tortured (the sound was one of those kind).

You gals must not be single parents. As a single mother, nothing is more appealing than a man with a baby. Fuck the damn puppies…give me a man who loves kids.

Yeah DP, That One just ran out of my lap.

Rachel in flannel pajama pants!!! I love it! Bob needs to put that as the mascot on his front page.

Kat, I’m watching Joel Hale (mmmm) with the kid now. It IS a cute baby (his, isn’t it?).Non-breeder here. Just never reacted to babies like I do to puppies, kittens, baby monkeys, baby polar bears…

I’ve been single since mine were 5 and 3. You have a point there, Kat.Jane, I bet That One is still stalking.G’night guys. I’ll be having nightmares of Bob and Arianna throwing bananas at me in their pajamas. With puppies squealing in the background and Elvis on the rag, a cold one at that, recovering from his secret mission nabbing more jammies from China (I don’t believe the Russian story–they sleep in the buff).

It’s Joel McHale, for future reference, and I totally think he is yummy. My gaydar must requiring re-calibrating though, because I would have totally called him for the other side originally.

OHMYGOD FOURPUPPIESHAVEDISAPPEARED DIDTHEYGETEATEN?

Yes…the giant fuckin’ pumpkin ate them while you were cheating on them with the cute baby.

OH NO where is PALIN? She wears puppies on her clothing!

Night DP!Yeah, McHale. I knew that. I love The Soup (again) when I remember to watch it, and love him on KO.

I have a question that’s been bugging me: is David Brook’s “circular firing squad” similar to a circle jerk?

They’re discussing gas prices on the puppycam blog. Heh.

G’night DP!

It’s $2.28 in Wilm. Fuckin’ amazing.

They discuss gas prices, we discuss puppies, and them. It’s a circle jerk.

paid $2.149 today. Friggin’ amazing for CT since our prices are usually higher than the national average.

I still pay a bunch fer diesel. Screw you guys.

Aaaaugh ceu, I was disappointed (understatement) about the whole “feds refuse to disclose who gets our emergency loans” thing. Who the fuck do they think they are?http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/11/fed-sued-for-hiding-loan-details.html

I know, Jane. They’re doing their best to leave crumbs much too small for the other Whos’ houses when they leave office.Disgusting.

OK, finally caught up, saw the sleeping puppies, and missed the baby handling men. I agree also that bananas in pajamas are frightening. Any chance we could get Elvis and Bob live-vlogging in pajamas? That could be fun…(didn’t Elvis promise us some vlogging on election night?)OK… seriously – the puppies are too cute. My head may explode.QT

guys, seriously, what the fuck is goin’ on here tonight?
