    and “winning” the war in Iraq, and catching Bin Laden.

  • lame duck hunting

    Neither have I, but I bet I get bounced before this posts…………..

  • lame duck hunting

    Wow………..weird is right. Before it took 30 minutes of attempts to get something posted. And after I re-read it, it probably wasn’t worth the mighty effort. Still, it beats trolls………

  • incredulous72

    .. and getting a book deal for W, and a movie deal for McCain.And a shot @ the presidency in 2012 for Palin.LMAO!!!I think I’ll go drink now.

  • ceu

    If Maddow, Olbermann, and Gregory all take vacations, WHY wasn’t Buchanan forced to take one, too? This is a man who a week ago was advocating higher tariffs in order to solve the problems in the auto industry.

  • dontpanic23

    Only one login today (assuming this gets through).Hey, Obama is responsible for breaking the economy so when he becomes president he should fix it.I’ll second Pat taking a long vacation. Maybe he could join Mr. Hoffa on his?Oops, had to log in. Maybe once. I’m so skittish I always copy the first and any longish ones.

  • KatinWilm

    Are Keith and Rachel still on vacation? Well…at least I’ll get to watch all of ‘Chuck’ tonight. *sigh* I miss my Rachel.

  • dontpanic23

    I think Keith is back tonight. A commercial for it implied he would be. Don’t know about Rachel, Kat.

  • incredulous72

    Rachel’s been back since Friday. I watched.Keith will be back tonight.

  • KatinWilm

    Sweet. I was out on Friday night, so I didn’t see Rachel’s return. I’m sure she’ll be amazing tonight.

  • ceu

    Yeah, KO’s back tonight – with his reaction to the Turkey Shoot.good times will be had by all.

    (Had to login again–only one try though)WKRP turkey episode, one of the funniest shows on television. Ever.”Oh, the humanity.”–Les NesmanMake that TWO LOGINS SO FAR ONE POST

    “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!”– Arthur Carlson, WKRP in CincinnatiAnd thanks to the Googles I now know that this episode was based on a real event. Go figure.This thing broken?

  • ceu

    I was just telling my son about that, Dontpanic. It was the first episode that I ever saw of WKRP and it was truly hilarious. Sick, but funny.

  • jane

    Hey! Fuck Time Warner Cable, for old times’ sake.

  • dontpanic23

    It had me with a laugh-face cramp. That episode will always come to mind when the time is right.

  • dontpanic23

    Fuck TWC? Sure, why not.Hey, I can’t see.

  • jane

    Weird how all these old sit-com scenarios are now real-life campaign trail stories?

  • KatinWilm

    I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what KO has to say about Palin’s Turkey Shoot. He smirks every time he mentions it, so it should be gooooood.

  • Bob_Cesca

    Keith quoted Ernie Kovacs! YEAH!

    >>Hey! Fuck Time Warner Cable, for old times’ sake.Alabama Comcast blatantly doesn’t carry MSNBC. So it could always be worse.

  • jane

    Travis,It wasn’t MSNBC I was pissed about, it was my innertubes connection.Plus and, I was trying to watch a DVRed Daily Show. And I got bumped off the innertubes. Hence my pissitude. Such as.lurv,jane

  • jane

    Heh. I didn’t say “also.”

  • http://unrelatedcontent.com Travis Disaster

    I’m just saying dude. No Rachel for 2 months since I moved here. Not to mention no Locked Up. It’s like a gulag. An inexpensive, low-crime, temperate gulag.

  • dontpanic23

    Keith’s jaw is doing that thing mine did the first time I saw the Palin turkey massacre.

  • KatinWilm

    Oh, that was lovely. Just absolutely fucking lovely. KO needs to be the Morning Awesome. AND he wants to donate to Palin’s campaign – yea….he reads the GDAB blog. :)

  • Bob_Cesca

    You know, I think the turkey geeker is cutting the throats of the turkeys — not beheading them. Kansasdem? Anyone?

  • dontpanic23

    Kat, he was outright channeling our fearless leader.

  • ceu

    WKRP lives in the national memory.

  • dontpanic23

    (Speaking of), I thought I was seeing a full head there too. Beak ‘n stuff. *ewwww*Glad my mom’s doing a homemade turkey pot pie this year. I’m not sure I could face a full bird after this shameful episode. (Even she said she was considering leaving out the turkey after recent events).

  • ceu

    I think he’s beheading them. What would be the point of slitting their throats and then cutting off their heads? And…don’t turkeys have really small throats? One would think that the act of slitting said throat would result in decapitation anyway.

  • jane

    We’ve been having stuff like Paella or shrimp and grits (with onions, mushrooms, peppers and blue cheese) for holiday meals lately.We usta catch shrimp so we’re familiar with the dark side of that food industry. (Try to wrest a crawdad from the cold dead hands of a Southerner.)

  • KatinWilm

    Ewww…all this talk of turkey-geeking or whatever is going on is making me slightly green.In other news…KO was on Martha Stewart?? Total WTF? moment.

  • jane

    Once my great-great uncle was chopping wood and his little sister kept getting in the way. Sure enough he cut off her little toe and a duck ate it.

  • jane

    There’s a total WTF moment.

  • dontpanic23

    A duck ate it?Speaking of turning green…

  • KatinWilm

    *running to the bathroom*Thanks for that, Jane.

  • jane

    Yep, DP. Kept ‘em from sewing it back on, even back then. Got any home-surgery stories?

  • dontpanic23

    But she does have a point, Kat. That would truly be a WTF moment.

  • cminri

    Hey..has anyone seen Ashby?

  • dontpanic23

    Uh, not that extreme. I’ve butterflied places that needed stitches when I didn’t have any insurance. That explains the mysterious Horseshoe Scar from the Horrible Dishwashing Incident. But no digits lost to ducks–you win hands down.

  • jane

    My favorites are guys who think they can perform home dentistry/orthodonty. Using gravel for false teeth, for example. (Never happened in my family, AFAIK.)

  • KatinWilm

    “Infrastructure” Miaow….who knew Rachel would be so easy? At least I don’t have to worry about bubble baths and candles.

  • jane

    Yeah what’s up with Ashby?

  • jane

    Kat, you’re too young for Rachel.

  • dontpanic23

    Ashby was taking a post-election break from it all last time I heard from him. That’s been a while now.Hey Ashby! Callin’ you out!(gravel for false teeth? Shit)

  • dontpanic23

    I can’t stand not to ask. Just how does one use gravel as false teeth?

  • jane

    DP, it was on Bob and Sheri (from Charlotte- Bob used to host P.M. Magazine). They used to have an hour of call-ins (coincided with my commute). A few times “home remedy stories” was the theme and there were some kick-ass stories. Maybe they’re online somewhere?

  • ceu

    Bush didn’t show the Iraq agreement to Congress? Isn’t Senate approval required by…um…the Constitution?

  • KatinWilm

    Hardly, Jane. She’s only 2 years older than me! I know, I know, her current gf is older, but maybe she would like a change of pace? :)

  • dontpanic23

    Thanks, Jane, I’ll file that away for future reference.Over and out, guys. Dogs need me.

  • KatinWilm

    ‘night DP!

  • jane
  • jane

    Bagpipes and such as.

  • KatinWilm

    Wow, Jane. That was…unique. I want some of whatever that bagpiper was taking.

    Did you see Robert Redford on Rachel’s show? Very heartfelt statement.
