I WANT TO SCRATCH MY SASSHOLE BUT IT WON’T QUIT BLATHERING ON.

*ahem* sorry for the outburst

Heh, DP.I took a nap this afternoon and when I woke up it was Bob Cesca v Morning Joke. Red hot! And Alan Keyes, and Eric Holder and a Monkey with Bright Blue Balls? WTF is going on?

Fuck yeah it is Friday. I watched my hopes and dreams disappear on Wall Street this week, a SWGILM freak the fuck out on the President, the signing of stimulus bills to save our souls, racist southern Governors try to turn down the money and take it anyway like the whores they really are and I had the honor of physically speaking with Bob and Lee.Now to the gym I go. But I shall return. Someone give Elvis a kick in the ass to keep him fired up until I get back.

Friday means an All-New Battlestar Galactica, the return of Bill Maher, and all the Maker’s Mark I can pound down before I accidentally Scarborough on myself. Huzzah!

I’m from the planet Scarboroughanus. It orbits the star Snarkturus. You know, the one that flickers and whines sadly when the other stars outshine it…

umm…what has happened today?!i’ll be back after catching up…

It has been a strange one.Elvis, thank you for the new potty term. I will use it sparingly but enjoy it immensely.

BSG AND BILL MAHER TONIGHT?Well my mood is definitely improving…

Sorry, Joe. I can’t kick Elvis in the sass because he is too good at kicking back, sometimes without the victim even knowing they’ve been thoroughly Dingeldeined. I might get a complex and hide under the desk. (Elvis, I’m only saying you’re good at what you do–don’t ever stop).Nano, is it my imagination or my OCD, but are you missing a vowel?

Yes indeed, donpanic23. It depends on what computer I’m on and whether or not I’ve spelled it right.

Oh look, it changed again…

What’s the world coming to?I was called a goddamned liberal when playing pool the other night, just because opined that Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Newt Gingrich are all dicks (the Faux News channel was on the bar’s TV machine).I tried to make them understand that dickishness often knows no political stripe, it’s just that these days, the Right seems to have the market cornered.

If the Minnesota circumstances were reversed, would the BBQ media be screaming for Franken to stop the courtroom antics?–This is getting ridiculous. If Franken were doing what Coleman is doing, the media would be going nuts–

Ah, my vowel world is complete. Thanks, Nano. Was afraid I was losing it.

Looking forward to a fine evening. After a great afternoon of trippin’ on Morning the Joe and Alan Keys and watching the smack down they got tonight aught to be a bit mellower (if that’s a word).

Packy, you wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been called down here in SC. I can’t figure out why there’s so much anger.

Leigh,I mollified them by pointing out that of the three, Newt was the littlest dick.They didn’t get it.

This day has been a rip roarin’ slug fest. At least here. Over at HuffPo, they’ve been santitizing all the comments so as to not step all over Scarborough’s fragile ego.He needs a serious sass-kickin’.

The “Morning Joke” comments are trickling in so slow that they MUST be reading every one, to make sure they are all of the “Gee, you’re SWELL, Joe!” variety.

South Carolina’s been in wicked snit ever since someone pointed out that maybe it shouldn’t be legal to own other human beings.

Nano, you’re killin’ me. A “wicked snit”. That’s just beautiful.

Paddy and I had to put in our two cents (now worth about .00001 cent):http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/02/bob-author-vs-joe-bummer.html

LOL, that’s all I say? “Newt’s the littlest dick?” Awesome. I’m using that one.They’re still fighting the Civil War down here. So, yeah Nano, that’s true…

Ahhh Keith’s on now. He’ll make my world make sense again…

Who’s kicking sass?! DP – I love you to death for that one. It’s a permanent part of my vernacular now.Elvis – are you caught up for tonight’s BSG?QT

Bob: Kat asked a good question a few threads ago. Can you write a rebuttal on HuffPo to Scarborough?It squicks me out that he’s friends with Arianna – or claims to be.

QT, I stole it from the horrid typing of the wingnut letter Bob shared with us up-page. I can’t take credit.

Alan Keyes is batshit crazy.Packy, you’re a goddamned liberal! (geez…didn’t feel like an insult to me…)

Chris, I was also wondering about how Packy dealt with the awfulness of being called a liberal. Oh, the shame. (You OK, Pack?)

Ady it’s the same all over the South. I’m from Savannah and have relatives that still hate Lincoln.Speaking of nifty new words such as “Scarborough” and “Newtie”, did anyone else catch Mark Maron the other day on Breakroom Live? He threw down the phrase “turgid hockey cock.” Awesome.

my daughter had some stickers made up for me a while back that said: Liberal is NOT an insult! Try again!I liked them.

I survived it. Many years ago, my brother was accused of being a “flaming liberal.”He gave it a little thought, and responded with a smile, “Well, it’s better than being a flaming asshole.”

“turgid hockey cock”? In what context was this nifty little phrase used…as a replacement for “poppycock”? And can I have one?

I keep expecting an influx of Joeholes to come in here and hurl silly insults at Bob. I feel the need to knock on wood with all my extremities.Funny, Kat, when I read “turgid hockey cock” I had a feeling it would home in on you like boobs on Redmond.

Since when has this blog become totally dedicated to refuting Joe Scarborough? We get it. Let’s move along.No offense.

It was a Mark Maron rant about Bristol Palin’s interview and statement that expecting kids to be abstinent is not realistic. I think he was saying something like “did you think she’d be able to resist a turgid hockey cock.” I’d have to listen to it again, but it was an instant classic. It was Tuesday’s show I think. You can find it on iTunes. I listen daily. I love him and Sam Seder dearly.And yes, Kat, an 18 year old Levi-Johnstonesque turgid hockey cock would definitely hit the spot just about now…

We’re not really trying to refute Joe so much as trying to make him cry even more than he has already.

Relatives who still hate Lincoln? Wow! That takes grudge carrying to whole new level. Too bad it’s not an Olympic sport.I love Savannah, though.

I agree. Time for Morning Joke to have a good cry. How DO we make that bitch cry?

HA! CM’s comment made it to HuffPo:cminri See Profile I’m a Fan of cminri permalinkJoe – I used to enjoy your show in the beginning, but have been unable to watch since about last Spring (when the primaries got really heated). I find you to be a disingenuous and bombastic. I think Bob Cesca hit the nail on the head in his piece. Perhaps you should invite him on your show (I might actually watch then) and give him the opportunity to engage in a bit of civil discourse about your differences.

That’s hilarious, Nano. I don’t think I could resist either. Shocking, I know.And DP, I would just like to say that Redmond is far less discerning than I. He will respond to any sort of boob, no questions asked. I, on the other hand, like my cocks turgid.

Um…how is Alan Keyes NOT locked up on a psyche ward in a state hospital somewhere? He seems totally fucking crazy.

What was that about prisoners & the Justice Dep’t saying that they shouldn’t be allowed to challenge their detention in a court?? Just now on Rachel – I missed it….anyone catch it?

I believe this is what you were talking about, Nano.Maron on Bristol

chris–that is for the prisoners at Bagram in Iraq…it is stll wrong, but that is what she said

wow, Elwood. Just wow.

Laffy put up the Alan Keyes rant showed earlier on Countdown… here

Jazz and Beer are an awesome combination.The Jazz: Kind of Blue, Miles Davis.The Beer: Sam Adams, Boston Lager.

Hey, Mike H., How the hell are ya?!? When are you going to pay up on that ride you promised me? Do I need a helmet? What are the laws in your state on this?Minx

hey, minxy, how are ya?

North Dakota is setting up a challenge to Roe v. Wade.The House voted 51-41 this afternoon [2/17] to declare that a fertilized egg has all the rights of any person.

Joe Scarborough is Mika’s Merkin(Nice one Kat)He is also a mindless Reich Wing Propaganda dispenser.

Ady -They all stopped taking their meds on 20 Jan. and the hallucinations have begun. The voices started today.The programming to hate socialism is well implanted and will not go away, but the reasons for hating socialism will become increasingly bizarre over time.In another month they will tell us that socialism is The Evil™ because The Jeebus Baby™ said so. After that socialism is the evil because it’s evil.We’ve entered the psychotic break zone.

Frank Schaeffer is awesome.

Aside from the turgid hockey cocks:Was it just me, or in that clip did it seem like Bristol Palin actually paused, thought, and searched around for the proper words to express herself?Granted, she wasn’t exactly eloquent, but she certainly didn’t spew out the nonsensical verbal diarrhea her mother does.

Well, Ms. Fe, in the words of a great philosopher: “It’s complicated.”. Due to the fact that I received a back-settlement from Soc. Security Disability, our income went up significantly for last year. Leading to…a higher tax bracket! Just about had a spasm (or a Dingeldein, as it’s called in the Midwest) when I was told how much we owed.I plan to make myself feel better by buying a plethora of previously-owned books from Conglomerate-dot-com.Physically, I hurt all over. I think that people get tired of hearing about it as much as I hurt, so I’m shutting up… Feh!

aw, Minx, I’m sorry, that sucks. Imagine a short seventeen year old girl giving you a giant hug right now.

slow tonight, guys.

Thank You, short, seventeen-year-old girl. You mean a lot to me, Fe, all good things, sweetie.What’s up for you next, education-wise? Are you going to go for a Bachelor’s in Nursing? That may be a good idea, makes you promotable & will set up well if you want to specialize (like OB/GYN or Nurse Practitioner). Any schools in mind?

I so agree with Mr. Mike H ! !Just sit still and blast first track from Kinda Blue to push all political angst aside – “SO WHAT” is so what we all need in our ears…not that “Alan – someone lock him up and throw away the KEYES.” Love the one and only Blog Fresca.

seemed like it, Packy, I saw only that one short clip, but she was trying – at least trying not to just parrot back things said to her, like an empty echo.I feel for her – her mother used her & her siblings badly. Can’t imagine growing up with a parent who views you as a prop.Fe – you are correct. Schaeffer is awesome

So, may I just say that… I haven’t had a computer for the entire Obama administration, and I just got a new one for free thanks to my service plan. Shiny shiny new computer…So, I made coffee without anything there to catch it, and fell off my my bike trying to avoid getting hit by a car in the crosswalk, but on the whole… yeah, good day.

minx: I have no idea.

Is Bill Maher on on the East Coast yet? Could be why this is a slow thread.

Fe, I’m sorry. Too much pressure? Let’s talk bedtime stories. Because I adore Guinea Pigs, especially the very fuzzy ones, I collect Children’s books that feature Guinea Pigs. One of my favorites is called “Felix Feels Better”. Felix is feeling “not perky.” So Mama tries many remedies. She finally takes Felix to see Dr. Duck, who gives Felix a spoonful of Happy Tummy medicine. And, Felix Feels Better!With that inspirational tale, Good Night to all, perky and not.

lol, g’night, minx.

pssst…anybody left out there?!??!

I’m here, cm!

seriously, someone should distract me; I’m watching an extremely creepy episode of Psych. Which…didn’t know that was possible.
