numero uno? yoko ono?

Damn! Finally. I think I was first PTT commenter sometime during the republic convention. Not since.Drinkin’. Yee ha.

Elvis! I need amphedimines amphedemines DAMN I can’t spell it–I so rarely drink–to make your show. I’ll fucking do it if it kills me, which it may.

Is Ron Christie looking at you? Or me?

DP – last night when i made the comment about people hating NCAA basketball? That didn’t come off reading the way it would have sounded (inflection and all that) so….it sounded pretty nasty and I apologize for that.

So George W. Bush spends 40% of his two terms on vacation, and Republicans are still managing to have a field day with Obama filling out brackets and appearing on Leno. What gives, Repugs?

A little more ranting and I’m done, I swear…Republicans, when a controversy involves Bush:”We don’t need to find out the who, what, when and where. Let’s look to the future, instead of playing the blame game!”Republicans, when a ‘controversy’ involves Obama:”We need to find out the who, what, when and where! Let’s look into what happened and play the blame game!”

Chris, no apology necessary. It’s a hot topic among some but I don’t pay attention to any of it.

I was sorry to see Syracuse didn’t make it…….

Ron Christie is looking at both of us.Oh blue eyed, 8 lbs 6 oz, baby Jesus I hope the Chimp troll shows up in the PTT.Hey, I am calling Elvis. Hopefully, President Obama will recharge my brain to come up with something entertaining to talk about.

What gives, Repugs?Kyle, IOKIYAR.

I love Teh Google.I hate to plead ignorance, but I wasn’t quite sure what IOKIYAR stood for until now.And college basketball sucks. Sincerely,Baseball Fan

Carl, there you have it.

Liberal friends! Do you remember when that damned sneaky Obama administration passed their shady, underhanded bailout bill? Among it were near-conspiratorial wordings like:

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

Crooks and liars, each and every one of them. Oh, wait–

I didn’t know what IOKIYAR meant either.

Blue, Skiba, I still have no clue. My mother just sent me a copy of her way-future obit (knock on wood) that was so hilarious I had to call her and could barely talk while laughing.I guess I should go look it up now.

Is it safe?

It’s safe. Don’t worry.

It’s not safe for TS. At all.

Spitzer didn’t like it safe…..

Spitzer didn’t have a wide stance.

Truth, come on in the water is fine.

No, he didn’t….but they say he kept his socks on……presumably his feet………..

KO CEO SCKeith Olbermann Chief Executive Officer Special Comment

DP, what’s a way-future orbit?

That was “obit”…..

I guess it does say obit.Never mind.

I was also sitting here trying to determine why your mom was going to be launched into space at some point in the future, dp. “Obit” does make more sense.

Heh, thanks Curly Duck. Obit it was. But ya made me go back and look, Skiba.

I swear I saw orbit, though.I’m really tired.

@Kyle: It seems that what goes around comes around.The left and the media hounded Bush over everything from mispronounciations to bad hair. It was despicable even though I detested Bush.Now the table is turned and there are fulltime news stations dedicated to pointing out everyone of Obama;s foibles. I do not like Obama for various reasons, mostly because I felt that he received unfair support from the media which basically served as an extension of his campaign, and that Hillary was more qualified to lead the country.Obama needs to be more focused and decisive. Tackle the major problem your country is facing first.Easy for me to say, though.

My pleasure, DP……Had some free time so I thought I’d field it for ya……….

Kyle, I don’t think that’s in her plans but she can come up with some pretty amazing surprises. Including her very future obit.

Never rule out space travel, though. Sometimes you can do it without leaving the house……..

truth,I am going to get killed for saying this but, Hillary was the only real Republican running for President. Sorry, we needed/need a liberal/progressive agenda for the next 30 years to unfuck St. Ron’s mistakes.

@TSI congratulate you for saying “the left” instead of “Libtard”. I disagree with you (primarily because the media gave Bush a pass on everything that actually MATTERED), but I commend your more civil approach.

Bwahaha Eric Cantor is such a little bitch. Eat his soul, Lawrence O’Donnel!

TruthSerum, it is obvious that you, perhaps, are unaware that Hillary was caught lying on multiple occasions during the campaign, and overall, was viewed as an rampant opportunist, right?She got enough support from here 17…no, 18 million supporters, right? So why don’t you submit to the fact that Hillary fucked up her own campaign, and quit blaming Obama-supporting apparitions in the “liberal” media, ok.

I forgot about the PUMAs.

Actually, Bush’s hair was the only thing I liked about him. Remarkably well groomed for a member of that species……..

Here’s the preface of the copy my mother sent to my daughter who is very sensitive and needed a soothing preface:”‘DP’ and I had been discussing various end-of-life choices (something we old people are encouraged to do) and she asked me to write an obit. She apparently felt insecure about writing one for an English teacher for fear she might get a pronoun wrong or omit a comma.OK, today I got into the mood and enjoyed writing my obit. She greeted it with hysterical laughter but agreed to use it unless and until I write another–which I may do. It’s fun. I may write several.Please accept this attachment in the mood it was written. I don’t want to be memorialized as being lifted to heaven by a band of angels or going to rest in the bosom of Jesus.Writing it was fun. Love, Gam”

Nano, I think you’re right about Cantor. I’ve never listened carefully to him before, but yea, my ‘dar totally went off.And I lurve Lawrence O’Donnell. Not as much as Rachel, of course.

Ohhh…Keith’s gonna neuter the corporations. Sounds painful, but totally hot at the same time.

dar?Kat, translate that for my yankee ass.

Short for Gaydar……

GAYdar. I didn’t realize Kat had it!

Gaydar….and there isn’t anything southern about it. In fact, I think I started using the term when I lived in California. It went off a lot more out there.

Are we really going to see the coercive monopolies get broken up in Obama’s first term, first 100 days, during the recession?permaCHUB

Yeah, this Eric Canbore is definitely a maverdick in the mold of J. Sidney McCain.Absolutely buys into his own hype, he does.John Boner does, too, but McCon-nell is a bit more sedate.

Kyle, my Gaydar is a precision instrument. It’s gone off for boys who don’t come out of the closet until years later.

You sure, Kat? I’m deep in the South and my gay-sensing-apparatus (straight people don’t have gayday, right?) goes off constantly.

I think it’s been mentioned before, but I doesn’t seem like Rush is breathing very well.

Ohhh…Eric Burns is actually sort of hot. He’ll do since Richard Wolffe hasn’t been on tonight.

The entire stimulus legislation could have been written on one piece of paper, and it would have had a chance at actually working. It should have contained three articles, and it should have read like this:Article One: All federal taxes of any kind, personal income, corporate income, capital gains, etc., shall be reduced by 50 percent, starting immediately.Article Two: Five percent of the national debt shall be retired each fiscal year for the next 20 years.Article Three: No further amendments to this bill shall be permitted.Had that been the text of the stimulus package, employment would already have started to turn around. The banks would be lending again because people would have jobs, and revenues to the federal Treasury would start to increase. An excellent example of this can be found in Ireland, where taxes are low and the economy is far better than the rest of Europe.Of course, the present mind set in Washington is to keep people in turmoil, dependent upon the government for all of their wants and needs. It is the way of the career politician whose only priority is to keep getting re-elected. The well-being of the people who elect them is not even on their radar.

Why, thank you, TrainWreck! Out with Geithner, in with an anonymous conservative commenter on a liberal blog!Where did you get your economics degree? Liberty University?

Well, we’re now officially communists and McCarthyists. Good for us. I didn’t think it was possible, but apparently it is, somewhat like how I am both lemon fresh and very, very dirty.

Also, to correct an earlier comment:gayday = gaydarOops.

Oh, yes…Cantor is definitely a repressed gay man.

I’ll give Curly a break and ask Kyle: gayday? Some of us have one and some don’t? Is it not on my Humane Society Calendar for some reason?Kat, my daughter (who swings both ways) has an enhanced gaydar too. She’s so accurate it’s scary. And a gay friend thinks he has the most accurate one on the planet and he is wrong most of the time, males and females.

Truth,I don’t know what you consider support from the media, the six weeks of Rev. Wright video loops, the nonstop coverage of Palin claiming Obama was “oalling” around with terrorists, the ABC Democratic debate? Please explain.

Thank you, kyle.That was some low hanging fruit. I only need one question to unravel his master plan. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU RETIRE THE NATIONAL DEBT WITHOUT PAYING TAXES?

DP, my gaydar is very accurate too. Hmmm…

Ladies, try and restrain yourselves, but yes, IT’S CRAIG FERGUSON. Oh, gawd, his accent is wicked hot.

sorry, how do you do basically anything without paying taxes?

Trolls everywhere!What did bob do? Did he piss on Reagan’s grave with his HUFFPO article?

Whatever Bob did, he must be doing it right. Maybe he’ll break the top 100 on Bernie Goldberg’s list.

yeah! Cut taxes! Great idea! St. Ron tried it and the unemployment rate topped out at 10.8%! Bush did it and look where we are!Cutting taxes does NOT help the economy and does NOT create jobs, so STFU about it already.

How do you slash the deficit by spending trillions of dollars you have to borrow?Train Wreck.BTW, the more people working the more taxes are recouped and the healthier the environment along with tax compliance.It’s called normal distribution.

he came down pretty hard on the wingnuts in his latest huffpo article.hey, PTT-ers! I’m gonna try to actually talk to people tonight!

And the more people have the more the will spend.Again, normal distribution.

“Cutting taxes does NOT help the economy and does NOT create jobs, so STFU about it already”What fucking planet do YOU live on?As for me, I live on the planet Douchebagatron in the Dickbastard Galaxy where my tiny micropenis is envied, not scorned.

Tax cuts will make so many jobs we simply will not know what to do with them! Except these tax cuts only work when in place under Obama–they didn’t manage to create millions of jobs with 8 years of Bush.Right, TW?

Didn’t we have this conversation with a troll last night?? THIS IS OUR BEER TIME. GO BE DIFFICULT ON ANOTHER THREAD.

Ferguson has a really cleaned up Glasgow accent. We went to a car-boot sale near there and it was like being in a foreign country–wait, we were–like being in a non-English speaking country like Mississippi or Chicago must seem to someone from Glasgow.

>>>How do you slash the deficit by spending trillions of dollars you have to borrow?You do realize that the government accepts incoming revenue, right?And don’t open your troll yap about spending until you account for a $1 trillion tax cut for the wealthiest one percent, a $1 trillion occupation of Iraq, a doubling of the debt and the squandering of a budget surplus.

I understand what you mean, DP. When I went to Scotland (ages ago), I felt like I said “Excuse me?” the whole time. But still, the accent is hot.

Yes, Kat. They don’t seem to understand that we don’t want to hear it in this one itty bitty place on the site. I think that is a sign of insanity.

How about a fair and more equitable tax program where everyone pays a straight percentage tax? Say15%. Otherwise what happens is that the super rich hide their wealth in tax free shelters and the the other 51% pay nothing. And as for me (I can feel the darts already) close to 55% of my income goes to state and federal tax. Don’t cry for me Argentina, right? But here is the reality, I work 80 hours a week. I am in my late forties and now only able to start saving for my retirement (my career path was one of very delayed gratitude) and I need to play catch up so that my wife and I don’t end up in a poor house when we are REALLY old. I don’t have a pension plan.Lets play fair.

What fucking planet do YOU live on?The one where they study actual history, rather than just making shit up as they go along.The facts & figures are available. Educate yourself.

Yes, very hot. But I have to watch saying that because I don’t want to sound like–see, my son-in-law has the accent. Edinburgh, not Glasgow. Much nicer.

Hey TrainWreck…find your own blog to troll. I’ve been working this site for a few weeks, now get lost!

Do I have to actually show up to work with a mouthful of my boyfriends giz everyday? I should make up my mind and either swallow or spit. That way maybe my colleagues could finally understand what the heck I’m saying.

Dearest TruthSerum,I know you’re still angry that Pat Sajak, your pet gerbil, is still wandering your colon, unable to saved by surgical procedures. Your eyes water with the thought of his tiny lungs struggling for air, able to suffice only on the fart bubbles in your gut, as you slowly suffocate your friend to death.And it is because I know this that I will overlook your dumbass comment.Sincerely,Kyle

Truth – 55% really? Plese break it down.

I want Keith badly…Down on the floor right now!

Keith just said rape.

Wow, Trent. Maybe if you went to school, you’d understand what Barney Frank says you homophobic asshole.

Oh, christ on a crutch. It’s Bob’s Huffpo day. I forgot. A few beers and the days run like a Dali clock. I wondered how many people could have googled “gerbil” and “Pat Sajak”.

MERKIN!! MERKIN, MERKIN, MERKIN!!!!

Truth – you work eighty hours a week, have mentioned that you have a family to support, and spend your spare time on a liberal blog? something is askew.

Oh, Condy you dirty tramp, with your dirty lies.

Hmm, fe. You are onto something there.

fe and DP – Come on, you’re not doubting Truthiness, are you?

That would be bad strategery, Carl.

Now we have a moron who likes to play with the names. How fucking original.

C’mon, these trolls are making TruthinessJism look like a good troll.Step your game wayyyy up, trent.

Watch Obama tonight…Waste over $1million to appear with Leno

You bet I’ll be watching. Maybe you should too. You’d probably learn something.

Apparently, Truthiness’ gerbil, Pat Sajak, managed to bring a laptop with wireless into the colon with him.

Carl… I can guarantee they would learn nothing.

going out for a smoke. Maybe they’ll go back to HotRepublicanSheepFucking dot com soon.

Ooh, and now they’re changing names and copying and pasting the same comments. How cute. TROLL FAIL!

Jesus the fuck Christ!! I leave for ten minutes to pray to Allah and fucking trolls everywhere. AND BOB SHOWED UP, WOOT!!!IF I FUCKING HEAR ABOUT THE EXPENSE OF OBAMA’S LENO TRIP ONE MORE TIME I AM GOING TO DO THE MATH ON BUSH’S 40% OF HIS PRESIDENCY THAT HE SPENT IN CRAWFORD!!!!I imagine that is a shit load of money neocons. GO AWAY!!

I do find it odd how dems complained about bush growing the government and spending at record levels but now its ok….but that is libthink.

I’m guessing the town halls were free? Or was that part of the expense? Wait until these asswipes start complaining about an Obama vacation. I’m gonna laugh my fucking balls off.

he was already there (in CA).

trent (aka whatever other names you like to use):Well, Bush wasted (and is still wasting, HIS war) billions upon billions upon billions on a completely unnecessary war. Democrats don’t mind spending when it’s for a GOOD PURPOSE.You exhibit a fundamental lack of knowledge of your opposition. Go read, then come troll. Dumbass.

Do the math, Joe! Do the math before I’m forced to do it…please??

Oh Rachel, you’re so smart. The Republicans really want to keep the AIG thing alive when they can’t even get together on it? They might want to drag the Dems down but they can’t seem to find a way to do it without making themselves look even worse. They’re like the bad guy trying to drag the hero off the cliff in the movie, but then they end up falling to their death and the other guy pulls himself up by a shrub.I don’t know what the shrub signifies in that scenario.

(dons kneepads and braces for impact)

I have been trying to get the MSNBC anchors to ask the retards that all day.. what is wrong with the Pres. being on Leno when Shrub stayed on vacation in TX during most of his 8 years. But I could never get one to answer me. They didn’t like that I guess.

>>(dons kneepads and braces for impact)Man, if I had a nickel for every time I uh…wait, what?

We didn’t complain about growing government and record spending. We complained about ineffective, incompentent government and trying to hide it the record spending by not including supplemental spending bills in the budget. Now that the spending is necessary as agreed by most REPUTABLE economists to get us out of the mess that your good ol’ boy got us into, we can’t complain until it’s proven that it won’t work. Because unlike freakazoids on the right, we give policy a chance; we’re rational enough to know that nothing works overnight. And if it does work, then how can we complain?It’s very cute, using others’ names and twisting them around, by the way. Cowardly, but oh, so trolly cute.

Well, if we’re going to wax metaphorical.PCP is a hell of a drug. Anyone can get their hands on it and ingest it, and become convinced of their own superiority. They find no threat intimidating, and are often able to continue moving freely after having bones broken or being shot.Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are conservative PCP. Any idiot can tune them in on the radio, and become convinced of their own superiority. They find no liberal blog intimidating, and are often able to continue arguing after having facts shown to them or being verbally eviscerated.But when the PCP wears off, those broken bones are still broken and those facts are still facts. You’re just too pumped up on the PCP to see them.

Jane, do your Cheers metaphor.

What did I miss?

shhh. maybe they (it) left?

Hey Kyle;Iraq cost less than 4% of the annual federal budget.Do the math smart ass.Alot went to pay our troops to liberate a country from a dictator, and give these people a chance for a future of freedom, one you already have and yet whine about. Saddam had murdered millions of them, but no longer will. Punk.

I’ve just returned from my way future orbit and I have a request.If anyone here is good at photoshopping we need a new TeleTubby with Glenn Beck’s face. The TeleTubby shall be named Bang Zoom and its color shall be yellow. It should also have an antenna on the top middle of skull and the antenna shall have the shape of $The face punchablity properties must be retained as in the original Glennus Beckus.

>>the media hounded Bush over everything from mispronounciations to bad hair.Yeah, I remember that, truth sperm. Those jokes about Bush’s hair! Ahahaha! Many a Daily Show and Colbert were devoted to Bush Hair jokes.No really, WTF?

I think we should report our troll for animal cruelty. FREE PAT SAJAK!!!

Bueller?

Saddam had murdered millions Oh, goodie. We’re going to play Hyperbole! Who’s our next contestant, Johnny?

I’m pretty sure John Edwards got much more shit over his expensive hair-cut than George W. Bush ever did about anything hair-related.Elliot Spitzer went for some expensive trim, as well.

Ooh me!Saddam Hussein murdered nearly a billion people with his razor sharp talons. Which he got from Donald Rumsfeld.

I want Rachel to infect me with Teh Gay.

Wow, so this is what a troll looks like from the other side of the fence.Good night everyone.

“I would have him mime it out but I think it would be awkward” – Rachel quote of the night, I think.

TRENT (pick a name and stick with it, PUNK):Iraq cost less than 4% of the annual federal budget? Are you factoring in the projected $2.5 trillion we’ll spend caring for soldiers that shouldn’t have been put in harm’s way to begin with?Wiffle ball, bitches.

SillyGit, awww…why defile a poor Teletubbie?Glennus Beckus makes me think of this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5k9wPOegbs

well, technically it was chemical weapons that he got from Rumsfeld (and used to gas the Kurds) but since it is Hyperbole! “razor sharp talons” wins you points.

>>Elliot Spitzer went for some expensive trim, as well.Posted by: Kyle at March 19, 2009 9:49 PMAHHHH nice one Kyle.

So who do you think will be writing W’s autobiography?

Serious question: Why is the Democratic Party breaking into 2 parts? Why on earth is the party in power doing this? Am I the only one confused by this?

Thanks, jane. Is ‘trim’ a regional thing? I thought about that after I posted it. I’ve never heard it used much, even here.

So who do you think will be writing W’s autobiography? Anyone but W. Or maybe it’ll be a group effort.

Why is the Democratic Party breaking into 2 parts? Why on earth is the party in power doing this?

Because Democrats always figure out how to fuck up a good thing. And they don’t have the balls to speak out when the Republicans are in power, they just whine.

Fresh troll meat on the Teabag thread (redundant, huh?).

Are the still yapping about the Obama/Leno thing? Funny, they never had any problem when Cheney would call into Rush’s show and spread his fear and loathing to the faithful.However -I am bit not happy about him saying what a great job Geithner is doing. Far too reminiscent of that Brownie thang…

Nano, you were on fire today. Nice.

I’m at work jane, and cranky. I’m always most creative when I’m cranky

Carl, it’s because the conservadems are still playing the republican game. Or they are too used to being battered and running scared for their seats that they don’t realize the winds are a changin’. Aka, they are big dummies. Also you know how if you snap a pencil in half, it’s really hard to snap the parts in half again? That’s the republicans.

Myst, your pencil analogy has me thoroughly confused. Are the Dems the pencil? The Repubs? What does the wind represent? Also, who are the big dummies? What? Who? Huh?

Oh and if anybody missed the Extreme Sheep Art story on Huffpost, it’s…awesome.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/18/extreme-sheep-art-video_n_176341.html

I have alqays considered TeleTubbies to be highly evil creatures. Except for teh gay one. I like tinky winky.

I have two Tinky Winkys. I got them right after that fat fuck Falwell went off on ‘em. Think there’s enough fire in Hell to roast his entire sorry ass?

Hey, the trolls have their own thread! (As it should be!) They’re over there defending their Teabaggery. Heh.

What do you remove to neuter a corporation?At first I thought the CEO but that would be castration.

I always liked Nunu from the Teletubbies.

Woohoo! So we have our beer thread back? Right the fuck on. No teabagging here.

what up bitches?!i’m feeling very violent tonight! esp. after reading this ptt and other troll infected threads! and my vodka soaked blood isn’t helping…

Jane:The conservadems are the dummies.The republicans are the pencil.The wind is an SMW (Standard Metaphorical Wind)

Well, you can cuddle up with a Teletubbie on this thread.

I wanna cuddle with one of Nano’s Tinky Winkys.And that sounds all wrong for multiple reasons.

Mysty, I am more confused than EVAAR now. Who is the Teletubbie again? And who is McCarthy?

Seriously, the Democratic Party is gonna do this shit? What a stupid idea!

Nano -If there really is a Beelzebub, I am certain that he is enjoying the hell (so to speak) out of the challenge that Falwell presents. People like him make me hope to be wrong about such things.

So Gypsy is drunk and ornery. What shall she call in to Elvis about?

Shitbags like Jerry Falwell make me wish karma-based-eternal-tortures were a reality.

Note to self:As a movie that I watched in the theater, “Shine a Light” was a solid B.As a movie that is perpetually playing on my huge TV on Blue Ray (oftentimes in the background while I’m not actually watching it) it’s an A+.can’t wait for the Everybody Loves Elvis hour

Gyps should call in to Elvis!! Discussing the differences and attributes of Maker’s Mark and Jose Cuervo.

Suggested topics: Beck. Teabagging trolls. Jon Stewart. Anniversary of Iraq invasion. Teletubbies.

I hope Falwell was buried with a Tinky Winkie doll.

can’t wait for the Everybody Loves Elvis hour

Correction: That’s Everybody Loves Elvis 90 minutes (now with 50% more “Suck it, bitches.”)

Wow this thread is all over the place…Um, someone mentioned being sad that Syracuse didn’t make the tournament…but they did they play Stephen F. Austin tomorrow. Sorry I love the Tournament, first round is like a holiday for me.Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see how the Obama/Leno thing is received.

Anniversary of Iraq invasion is a good topic. I approve. Teabagging? Even better.

goddamn Iraq. Ruined St. Patty’s day for six fucking years. This is the first year I had forgotten the association. Until tonight.

I meant, “Tinky Winky”…

Jane, I’m almost certain I wasn’t involved with the telletubby comment. But I did just hear the phrase “Merkins of Hope” on 30 Rock. Awesome.

Ady -If the mortician was gay I’ll bet he was.

catching the repeat on KO. If true, that obama bowling special olympic comment…d’oh. imagine the outrage tomorrow. It will be played on a continuous loop all day.

It’s our Carl!!!

I missed our Carl! I fell asleep to Troll world right before it ended and then missed Elvis and *gulp* Carl calling in? Oh, the humanity. Must catch podcast now. No more beer for me.
