Prime Time Thread

Open thread for documenting the constant variety of cable news hackery. And drunken bantering.

Tonight! The Airing of Grievances! Also, in honor of Festivus, if you have some extra foldin’ money and you feel inclined to drop a donation in the GDAB tip jar, I won’t challenge you to The Feats of Strength.

    I’ll go first. Michelle Bachman is still a representative. Minnesota is epic fail.

  • bjritz

    Hate the TARP Terrible Asses Recovery Plan!

  • LameDuckHunting

    I feel like the Blagosphere owes me an explanation…………

  • Lee

    Upon reflection, I’d also like to note that it’s embarassing being from the same state as 2008 GOP Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo. Just for kicks, go youtube one of his videos and read all the comments posted by the crazies.

  • Lee

    I can’t edit that last post so let me just say quickly that he is the very serious person who linked hispanic immigrants to nukes in shopping malls.

  • CycloCynic

    If, on the other hand, you have no spare money, and think that Bob Cesca should be donating to you, let’s talk.I have free copies of Bob’s new book, One Nation Under Fear, available to anyone who’s willing to post a review of it at Amazon.com.Email me at toliveistosuffer@gmail.com. (Please include the address to which you want the book sent).

  • Bob_Cesca

    >>If, on the other hand, you have no spare money, and think that Bob Cesca should be donating to you, let’s talk.I give the gift that keeps on giving — the gift of daily indignation and snark!

  • dontpanic23

    Pat Buchanan and a woman named Stephanie are equally loud and shrill and are talking at the same time. I have very tender ears. Damn.

  • Mike H.

    Anybody know if Keith is on tonight?

  • Kat

    Ah, venting. It’s good for the soul.I’m grieved that my town still doesn’t have a Trader Joe’s despite all my begging, Liam Neeson still hasn’t divorced his wife to marry me, and David Gregory was picked over the beauteous and talented Rachel Maddow to host MTP.And I am mega-broke, Bob, so bring on the Feats of Strength.

  • ceu

    WTF was she? Nasty woman. [I told her to shut up - it didn't help] And there was Pat, shrieking, and sputtering and drooling.A most unpleasant segment.Grievance – Joe Lieberman…

  • GItheJOE

    I thought the gift that keeps on giving is herpes. Bob did you just infect the PTT with herpes? Jane get my cotton swabs.

  • dontpanic23

    Yeah, Chris, even Barnicle was flinching. I was holding my ear closest to the tv. The dogs were about to howl like when you play a violin.Herpes? Isn’t that a lizard?Broke? I’ll try to come back after tomorrow and drop a tithe. First will have to clear the bank.

  • dontpanic23

    (make that a bad violin)

  • dontpanic23

    AHHHHHHHHHH PajamaGram NOOOOOOOOOOOOI’m starting to get Banana Phone on the brain.

  • ceu

    Direct Deposit, DP – ’tis a wondrous thing. :)

  • CycloCynic

    Bob, thank you for your daily gift of indignation and snark. The extra-large dose in your book is especially heady.

  • ceu

    Mike – he’s not. :( Sounds like The Eye is filling in

  • jane

    Got the Q-tips, Joe. Now drop trou.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane, I really hate to ask my mom to DD my Christmas present. But if you really think I should?Pass the damn Q-tip. I’ve been here too much not to have picked up something.

  • dontpanic23

    Crap. No more Rachel in for KO. It’s good, but it’s bad.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    WTF? Tamryn Hall is guest hosting KO? Man, who’s next? Mary Hart?

  • ceu

    Oh, not The Eye. It’s Tamryn What’s-her-name. Has anyone told her yet that Hawaii isn’t “out of the country”?

  • dontpanic23

    Or Mary Hartman.

  • dontpanic23

    Mary Hartman(once just doesn’t work)

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    What happened to Allison “Blinky” Stewart?

  • dontpanic23

    Blinky and The Eye? Shit, what do you call Contessa and Andrea? Your names are much better.

  • jane

    I have GOT to get to bed early. Gotta start drinking at work at 9am, dammit.

  • dontpanic23

    Norah is the honker. Ever heard her laugh?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    What the fuck? The Obama staff has to deal with things like this much sooner once they’re in the White House?1 – The investigating so-and-sos requested that Obama not talk about it until they were cool and2 – now these fuck-os want accountability after 8 years of the Shithead in Chief? FUCK YOU, MSM!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Contessa Brewski and Madame (of “Wayland Flowers and” fame).

  • dontpanic23

    I think I just honked. Madame is perfect.

  • ceu

    Isn’t [aren't] Blinky & The Eye the same person?And why the hell can’t she pronounce Quinnipiac properly? Jeez – she’s in the news biz. Practice the damn names before going on the air!

  • dontpanic23

    Barnicle kept stumbling over “Blogogavich”–that’s how it came out every time. He admitted to having problems with it. No kidding.Alison Stewart is the one not on tonight who did KO before Rachel. I think you guys were calling her one of the pet names. I watch way too much MSNBC.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    What the…? Did anyone else get a message stating that the comments were going to be reviewed before posting?

  • dontpanic23

    Was that guy smiling because the fish were talking to him? (the supersonic something stupid thing)

  • dontpanic23

    Do WHAT?

  • dontpanic23

    (that was a “no”, Carl)

  • jane

    I liked how the chick on Hardball is saying “I don’t want to demonize the union workers, but…” over the chiron “The Demonization of the Blue Collar Worker”

    Jane is much more malicious than you are, Carlos. That’s bizarre.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I included a link, so maybe that has something to do with the new censorship!

  • dontpanic23

    Theo? You playing around with the code?

  • jane

    And on an even loftier note, was that a Jenna/Not Jenna dressed like a bag lady getting on AF One to go to Camp with Daddy? RNC, your fashion sense is needed.

  • jane

    Someone give Pat Buchanananan a nice Golden Parachute.

  • Kat

    I think he may prefer a Golden Shower, Jane.(I’m practically ashamed at myself for such a lewd comment…but I’m sayin’ it anyways)

  • PackyJ

    Eeww, Kat.

  • bjritz

    “Your comment” Carlito not ours hmmm….It might be the networking with der physiognomy bibliofilistas.

  • jane

    I’d prefer Lorena Bobbitt give him a nice Severance Package.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Carl: did you have links? One of my posts got eaten and never showed up. Either it was the links (there were two or three non-working links) or Bob decided I’d said enough, or both.On the train… and can’t believe how crowded it is. Only good thing is that it seems that people are using public transportation to travel this year – lots of suitcases.QT

  • Kat

    Ohh…nice Jane.We’ll be here all night, ladies and gentlemen! Try the veal and be sure to tip your waitress!

  • jane

    Grievance (How do you know when Helen Keller and Jane are airing their grievances? Their fingers are moving.):Fuck it’s cold. Did I tell you how fucking cold it is?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yikes! Level with me, bj. How long do I have left to live?

  • Kat

    Ahh…Ferguson and McHale. Discussing Olbermann. That was lovely.

    New SPCA commercial with “Silent Night” plus all the most heartwrenching pics and vids of puppies and kitties in Teh Cage, waiting for…OH GOD STOP SARAH YOU BIIITCH

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me, bj. For those of you who haven’t been here for the last two days, we now have a Cescans group on Facebook. Just search for “GDAB Cescans” and request joinuppance. Lurkers are more than welcome, just let us know who you are when you get there. Post something on the wall.

    This is the point in the evening where Jane freaks out.

  • Kat

    Nice…the company which makes the shoes thrown at Bush had to hire 100 more workers to fulfill demand. Perhaps he can use that in his “Legacy Tour.” “Look! I gave some people a job!!”

  • jane

    Oh…mah…god. THAT Ferguson (& that McHale). Mmmm.

  • dontpanic23

    Ceu still needs to get into the Facebook group.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    No inappropriate contact with Blagojevich – no touching in the bad place.

  • jane

    Was wondering how long this would take.(That one’s for Joe.)

  • dontpanic23

    Now I’m gonna need dog therapy. Mona came over when I played that Yootubes song and got under my legs. When I pushed stop she went back to the chair. She might just want some shoes.

  • Teh Minx

    Do you want to talk grieveances?!!? How about my hubby’s assmaster employer who put us on a health plan where we have to pay up front for everything until we reach a $7500 deductible?By the way, the policy changed in Nov. and we start a new deductible yr. in January!!Pain patches that used to cost $30/mo just cost us $426!!So, it’s the feats of strength for me, too, Bob. I DID buy your book, though. Does that count?Teh Minx

  • ceu

    shit. A lot of stuff I bought showed up today. now I have to wrap it….The push toy is too cute. And the animal noises thing….my nieces are going to hate me. :) :)

  • bjritz

    Hey QT ))))) waving at the train. Is this your commute or did you pack a bag and go someplace for the holiday?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I wish my stuff came in. I’m doing a 12 days of Christmas for my wife – giving her a gift a day until Xmas – and the big gift isn’t here yet but is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! Talk about last minute!

  • Alan4s

    @Broadway Carl: I just created a facebook account, and sent a request to join. I don’t remember if there was a secret password required, and if there then I think I threw out the decoder ring with the cereal box – can I join anyway? Please?

I DO know that we in the Goddamn Upper Midwest are about to get 5 more inches of snow. At this rate, we may tie last year which was the 2nd snowiest winter since they started recording them.

    Carl is so sassy and in charge of our Facebook group. I love it. Miaow!

  • gypsysoul

    lee, what you don’t know is minx is the girl from “weird science” she sometimes shorts out when wet!

  • Alan4s

    @Minx: Here in the northeast we had the ice storm two weeks ago (still some folks without power after that one – my power was out 5 days), then we had two snowstorms. There’s probably 18 inches or more in my yard now. Temps to go up now, and we get rain on top of the snowy roofs – not good, not good at all.

  • Mike H.

    BC,Found it and request sent. GAB GO!

  • Lee

    For the record, the snow sucks. It was invented by Dick Cheney. Also, if we can build a way to keep the immigrants out from Mexico, why can’t we build a wall to keep the cold air out from Canada?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Sassy? Yeah, I’m sassy, cuz that’s how I roll.

  • jane

    Oh mah god…what if something happens to CARL? OH MAH GOD!!! Carlos needs teh Secret Goddamn Service!!!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Mike – request received and answered. This house… is cleeeean!

  • Alan4s

    Fuck Yeah Lee – the Canadian Cold Wall – I’ll vote for that. Or maybe I’ll move to Florida. I’ve never had to shovel humidity off of my driveway.

  • bjritz

    Oh, Minx, sorry about the minx up. You were having a difficult day. Hope you are feeling better now.

  • gypsysoul

    jane, between the gimp profile pic and the “Secret Goddamn Service” i think i tinkled in my panties…

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I’ve already put in a request to Teh Secret Service. Plus, Obama has my Facebook codes if something should happen to me.

  • ceu

    Yeah – rain tomorrow on top of the 12 inches plus of snow covering all the storm drains!! And when it all freezes? Oh, baby! Slip-sliding away.

  • Lee

    If we can’t get enough support on our own, I say we join forces with the “Canadian meds will cripple our HMOs” camp (I think that’s the argument) and the very serious “Illegal Canadian immigration is the greatest threat you’ve never heard of” border watching group.

  • jane

    Lee, will that keep out teh cold? I’m in.

  • theo

    Comin’ in late tonight, and probably leaving in a few moments to get some newly developed film. Just wanted to let people know I was lurking.Is it just me or have these posts gotten exponentially weirder since November 4th? I think the election might have blown a few circuits. In all of us.

  • Kat

    Humidity fucking sucks, Alan. For 5 months out of the year, you are breathing pea soup and sprinting from a/c to a/c. You can layer clothes on all day long when it’s cold, but when it’s hot and you get to your skin, you’re fucked.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Yeah, Kat, usually when you get down to just skin, it’s fucking time.

  • Kat

    I think we had more focus before 11/4, Theo. We had very defined lines and time frames for everything. Now we’re more on our own, and our personalities are showing themselves a bit more.

  • gypsysoul

    haha…jane, non-ritz bj just texted me with this…”Jane is the hottest non female, leather studded, painted black thing I have seen this week and I am in Miami”

  • jane

    Where the fuck is my own wall? I am confused.

  • theo

    Kat: So either we were always this insane, or we’ve only recently become this insane.Goddamn Awesome choice.

  • Alan4s

    I had to improvise a snow-rake out of a piece of plywood, a scrop of PVC pipe, and the extensible pole from my pole pruner, in order to clear some of the snow from my roof. Of course actual, real, snow rakes were sold out now, like all the emergeny generators were last week when my lights and heat and interwebs were turned off because of limbs falling on the wires.Maybe my roof won’t collapse now. I hate winter.

  • Lee

    Since Nov 4th Mr Cesca has removed the mind boggling (to me, prob. not to everyone else) posting login stuff. So now I can post. Perhaps that is part of the problem. To my credit, I have resisted using WoW chat faces in my posts. I am winner.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I think it all started with Bob’s suggestions of iPod lists, which developed into movies, TV shows, books… and now we’re just talking, which is kinda nice to wrap up the year.

  • Alan4s

    scrap of PVC pipe… what the fuck is a scrop? Bob, when can we get an edit feature here?

  • Kat

    Okay, nevermind. You win, Alan. That sucks.

  • jane

    Gypsy, heh. (That one’s a freebie from the MyGoddamnFace thread, yall.)Kat: I just know in summer my wardrobe fits in a suitcase/washing machine/closet easier.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Well gang, I’m out. I might pop back in later but the in-laws are in town for Teh Xmas, so if I don’t see you, have a great holiday! Thanks for all the FB support – I’m glad you’re all interested.

    And don’t forget the greatest Christmas gift of all, we received on Nov 4th. Jebus bless us, everyone.

  • gypsysoul

    minus the humidity hair, i like hot sticky humid weather…there is something sexy about it. am i the only one that thinks this?!?!

  • Lee

    Yes, and I usually keep my hair buzzed so no problem there. Although, perhaps minus sexy and more of just awesome.

  • Alan4s

    I’m with you gypsy – hot an sticky is SOOOooo much better than cold and more-fucking-cold. In fact, we went to New Orleans in June for vacation last year – it was getting warm here in NE, but not hot and steamy enough.

  • Kat

    If I’m gonna be hot and sticky, I don’t want it to have anything to do with the weather.

  • ceu

    Happy Christmas, Carl.

    I don’t know how to write on anyones wall on the FB, but I could write my name in the snow.

  • gypsysoul

    i get mean in cold weather almost as mean as when i drink vodka! and that is “i pity tha fool” mean!

  • jane

    Nite Carlos! Happy XXXmas, and BOOBS.

  • gypsysoul

  • Lee

    This passes the time so much faster at work.

  • jane

    Yeah I finally fucking figgered out teh wall thing, after I ran into it a couple times.Now why does everyone assume I am teh gimp? Sheesh. I make -erm, convince someone else to gimp for me.

  • Alan4s

    >> alan4s….”look ma no hands”Yeah, well, at my age, it’s a good thing my name only has four letters – else It’d take multiple sessions to finish.

  • jane

    Was always envious of that ability.

  • Redmond

    In case I don’t make the PTT tomorrow, or one ceases to exist, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Cescans!Now wish me luck, I’ve got a train table to put together for my kid. Which sounds easy, but keep in mind, my highest level of craftsmanship is duct tape.-Daddy, why is Thomas taped to James?-Well, you see, son, when one male engine and another male engine escape the purview of Rick Warren…

  • gypsysoul

    happy holidays brother…

  • Kat

    Good luck, Redmond. Although I always thought Thomas had a thing for Percy. And Mr. Conductor and his gold dust? Don’t get me started…

  • ceu

    okay, i’m totally freakin’ confused by freaking facebook. What if I don’t want to display my full name or my birthdate? I don’t see where I can hide those…

  • ceu

    and now that Carl’s checked out for the 12 days of Christmas with the in-laws, what’s the point?

  • Alan4s

    Good luck Redmond. I never had problems with putting the stuff together – it was the fucking decorative stickers that got me. I swear, the Barbie Motor Home (“if this RV is rocking, don’t come knocing – this means you Ken!”) had over 75 stickers to put on, and that’s no exageration.Merry Christmas!

  • jane

    Chris, I can’t change Frommell back to “from hell” (and I couldn’t sign up as “from hell) so I think you’re stuck with the name. Am I wrong, peeps?And the birthdate you can make up one and then make it fucking private.Chicken.

  • jane

    And Chris, Carlos is addicted. Did you read his post teh other day? He’ll be checking his email.

  • Mike H.

    Jane: accepted your friend request!

  • Kat

    You could always create a semi-fake profile, if you don’t want to share your real one. DP’s name is Dontpanic (first name) Twentythree (last name). And you could enter in a birthdate of June 25, 1987 if you want. :)

    I don’t even know how to ask to join….i mean I found the group but it has to ask me (I assume that’s Carl & I have to email him??)I’m pathetic. Elvis was right. I’m too old to be allowed on the intertubes without a chaperone (even though I remember when the WWW as a twinkle in a programmer’s eye)

  • Kat

    Do a search for GDAB Cescans, and then click on the group name. On the right there will be a “Request to join (I think)” link. Click on that and Master Carlos will receive an email notifying him that you want to join.And *sob* you brought up Elvis. *sob*

    Seriously, you people who were on the Facespace before, aren’t you embarassed by having that gimp picture next to your real-life friends and family? I, for one, am shocked, I tell you.I successfully sent myself a message out loud on FB. Those dummies. Should I be allowed to do that?

  • Alan4s

    I thought Jane was afeared of teh FaceBook. She seems to be having lots of fun with it now.

  • jane

    Howdy Mike. Please, no stalking. Unless it is of Gypsy. I think she likey.

  • jane

    A.B. Stoddard reminds me of Melissa Etheridge.Shut up, Alan.

  • ceu

    I did, Kat. Got this: This is a closed group. Members must be invited or approved by an admin.Plus…I saw the saddest message ever “you have no friends”.

  • ceu

    And i clicked the request more than once – you know Carlos is home rolling his eyes at me… You know it’s true.Lord, I think the wrapping paper fumes have gotten to me…

  • Alan4s

    I will NOT shut up. I will sign off for the night and go to bed. But that is NOT to be confused with me being intimidated by the lady in the black mask who scares me I’m not scared of.G’night all. Happy Festivus.

  • Kat

    You aren’t alone in having bizarre Facebook profile photos, Jane. My nephew currently has a photo of a squirrel he shot (ick) as his current profile photo (ick again).

  • jane

    I’m fairly certain Carl gets an email every time you request, Chris…heh.

  • Kat

    Happy Festivus and all that jazz, Alan.

  • Kat

    I think Jane is right, Chris. In fact, request to join every 5 minutes until he lets you. That should be fun.

  • Lee

    It’s like elevator buttons: the more you push it, the faster it comes.

  • gypsysoul

    nite guys…major sinus headache from elevation of these damn nc mountains!

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    All this talk about snow and cold air! I hate snow! In fact…I hate it so much that I might be tempted to hate anyone who likes it.In the last eight days, our snowfalls have measured 9″, 5″, 4″ 11″, 5″, and today, 7″.It’s not even a single storm! My snowblower is losing weight. So am I! This not good.Tonight, we have a balmy ten degrees with twenty mph winds. I’m thinking of streaking.

  • Kat

    G’night, gypsy…happy ho-lidays!

  • jane

    Chris, sorry also.

  • ceu

    That’s why he’s rolling his eyes.Ouch, Pooper! You near the Lakes?but it looks so pretty…. :)

  • jane

    Nite kiddies. And I may have to let teh gimp go. You all have hurt his feelings.

  • Lee

    How will he survive in the wild on his own?

  • Kat

    G’night Jane. Let him down easy.

  • ceu

    Happy Christmas, Gypsy.yeah, Lee – and the crosswalk button. I usually just press once…but this time I went insane! and pressed it twice.More wrapping….

  • Lee

    I push it untill people look at me funny. Then I push it faster.

  • Lee

    The crosswalk buttons up in Boulder beep when you push them. It is like being rewarded.

  • Barry

    Whoa baby:another gimp got out

    Ceu,Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Right on Lake Michigan.No, it’s not pretty, but if you need convincing, you are welcome to clean off my driveway, and my deck, and my roofs. Also, could you do something about the salt?

  • Barry

    My html for 11:27 didn’t work from my seaMonkey.

  • jane

    Leave “That One” alone. You guys made him cry.Not sure about keeping the new one yet. Eh, it’s a filler-gimp. Til a really good gimp comes along.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    On a brighter note, it’s snowing on my blog, too. Lawks alive! The tings dey can do wid technology dese days.

  • Barry

    What about my gimp buddy posted above?We could start a gimp herd or flock…mmmm…pack maybe.

  • ceu

    I’ve done all that, Pooper (well…not YOUR roof, etc.) Never had it as bad as by the lake shores, but I’ve lived in New England most of my life (except for the 10 years in PA)In PA they used cinders instead of salt. Saved the vegetation, but didn’t do shit for the snow and ice.

  • jane

    Mmmm, Barry. Nice. Will keep his email. Thanks for posting.

  • http://politicalpartypooper.wordpress.com/ Political Party Pooper

    ceu,New England gets some SERIOUS snow!

  • Kat

  • Barry

    I’m back, baby! Anyone left? Chris – do you already have a facebook page? Or are you starting one from scratch?

  • jane

    Ack, Carl, how awkward. Seems everyone went home.BTW, Goddamn lovely photos of Italy. And glad your sweet puppy is better. (Is better, right?)

  • ceu

    From scratch, Carl.

  • ceu

    I mean – I registered and then I got stupid, ya know?and I have no friends. :(

  • Barry

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    Well, I suppose you can register a new page with some fancy alias like DP did. I’ll wait to accept your request while you work on it.

  • Lee

    I will be your friend.

  • jane

    Fuerze Brava, Barry. Wouldn’t be my first threadkill.

  • jane

    Chris, hurry! I have a gimp to give you.

  • ceu

    Thanks, Lee.No, Carl. I guess it’s okay. It’s just been 14 years of anonymity on the ‘net and this is the first time I’ve had to use my real name.so, don’t wait, ok? I have more tape fumes to inhale.A gimp, Jane? That sounds so…..tempting. :)

  • http://unrelatedcontent.com Travis D
