Overnight Open Thread - Saturday Edition
— Maetenloch

Hello, hello all M&Ms. Welcome to your weekly Saturday night ONT.

Oh and kudos to holger for bringing a little old english poetry to the ONT last night. He gets 2 MaetPoints for that. Collect enough and you can get the steak knife set!

The hottest women of Super Bowl media
Okay and based on this sampling I'm thinking the best way to watch the game is on a spanish channel with english audio.

So who's up for some socialism?
Well according to this Gallup poll 53% of Democrats and 61% of liberals have a "positive image of socialism". That's a disturbingly high number given all the socialist republics that have been founded and collapsed over the years. And what's up with the 20% of conservatives who also had positive view of socialism?!? Could poor reading comprehension and/or head injuries really be that common on the right?

Hey Liz, It's weird.

Some parts have three inches and others have seven or eight inches with snow drifts. It was one f'd up strom. Unfortunately we had a few hours of heavy sleet so we had a ton of ice before we got the snow. They still haven't plowed my street yet.

But it's all good. I didn't need to leave the house. I'm just happy that my power stayed on.

Posted by: laceyunderalls at February 06, 2010 06:18 PM (M4JV6)

21 >>And what's up with the 20% of conservatives who also had positive view of socialism?!?<<

From reading the article, it seems that people self identified.  For example, someone who is complete commie pinko could self identify as a conservative when asked to chose between conservative, moderate or liberal.  At the same time some Republicans might have said they're a moderate and some Democrats may have self identified as a conservative.  All kinds of crossovers are possible.

I guess what I'm saying is the poll is mostly meaningless.  Or something.

At least it better fucking be.

25 lacey,
I seriously hate snow drifts. Not only does it make measuring annoying, usually the snow ends up being blown against things like cars making it that much harder to get the car out of the driveway.
Glad you still have power though

Posted by: Elizabeth at February 06, 2010 06:20 PM (QjuDE)

26 Chemjeff stripped naked and humped their legs, last night.  And it wasn't a "dry hump".

I should add that the prevalence of these empty-headed media chicks is proof that the Super Bowl should pare down the handing out of press credentials.

Yeah, I'm a killjoy but it's just too much of a circus.  Leave the bimbos to the sidelines and leave the reporting to real journalists.

25 You got that right.

I am so sore. I shoveled for a good part of the day. You (or at least I ) always feel so sore after--like I just used about 37 new muscle groups I didn't even know I had.

I need to get a snowblower.

Posted by: laceyunderalls at February 06, 2010 06:23 PM (M4JV6)

32 Apology accepted, chemjeff. I figured it was the alkeehall talking.

That said, applying for jobs is depressing. I'm done for tonight. What up, fellow morons? I hope those of you in the mid-Atlantic are surviving the snow.

36 Drifted and wind-sculpted snow is a huge pain in the ass, but it's also weirdly beautiful.  Last winter we had a hellacious nor'easter with a foot of snow and 40mph winds, and the next morning my cars were encased in these lovely streamlined sculptural shapes of pure white.  I didn't want to disturb it.

Posted by: Countrysquire at February 06, 2010 06:26 PM (0HdbA)

43 Unfortunately a snowblower wouldn't help much if there is a lot of ice either above or below the snow. Ice always made my snowblower get all fucked up (for those in warmer climates it's like the way lawnmowers react to big rocks ).

I seriously hate shoveling. I will pay almost any amount of money to any neighborhood kid so that I don't have to shovel. It's part of the reason why I lived in a condo for so long... I loved the sight of the snow crew doing all the work, and I was nice, I made them coffee

61 About that percentage of people with a positive view of Socialism... goes to prove that a significant portion of Americans are mentally impaired enough to lack even the most simple sense of self preservation. Socialism/Communism/collectivism is suicide. Yet they believe.
I think in ancient times these types would also wander out beyond the village bounds into the tall grass, where there were things which would eat the foolish or unwary. They wouldn't come back either.

ncj, re the lsat: practice, practice, practice. That's all I can say. There is no studying per se. You just have to take the tests until you can actually complete more than one of the logic puzzles before the 28 min time allotment

It totally sucks, but just keep at it. The sample practices really will help your score.

Lis, right there with you on paying someone. I scoured my street today but all the kids went sledding apparently. Dam it!

Posted by: laceyunderalls at February 06, 2010 06:32 PM (M4JV6)

67 The secret to removing snow by human power is to not wait until the storm is over. Shovel the driveway, etc. every couple of hours. You will be removing only a few inches of snow each time and you can usually just plow it off. No lifting. No back strain. No heart attack. Done it many times. Works like a charm.

Posted by: eman at February 06, 2010 06:32 PM (4tixt)

68 Prolly couldn't get through the first 10 feet of the driveway without keeling over.

That would be entertaining, though. Seriously, these kids need to get out there and do some shoveling because they're so fat and out of shape. I was stick when I was a kid. It's sad so many children are fatties now.

Bad polling? It is almost the definition of a conservative that you oppose socialism.

So, 20% of the supposed conservatives in the poll were actually liberals, sorry life long Republicans before, Bush, or Palin, or some such

LOL. No one has given me that "beautiful glow" comment yet. Probably because the lower half of my face has been taken over my hormonal pregnancy mini-acne.

Make no mistake, as I have always said, that is a problem that I will solve.

Some may say we are doomed to fatties forever. And some others might say that it is personal responsibility for people to take care of their own children. But I reject both these extremes. I propose instead to destroy the American economy, for the good of the children, until all of you little people can huddle together in happy, dark, starvation.

I was a stick as a child and was in no way malnourished. I'm also the tallest female in my family. My mother cooked nearly every night for my family, usually from scratch. As kids my sister and I ran around outside and played with the neighborhood kids, especially during the summer when we didn't have school

Sure having an abundance of food and not having to hunt for it is a good thing. But at the same time, feeding your kid drive thru food every night because you can't/won't/don't want to cook is not good for them. And letting them sit in front of the TV from when they get home from school to when they go to bed every night is not good, either.

150 The typical family not having to spend 25-40% of its income on food like people did when most kids were malnourished "sticks" is a GOOD thing.

I honestly don't think that the children of the 40's and 50's (and 60's and 70's too) were malnourished sticks. Moms took the time to cook meat, potatoes and veggies for dinner. Kids were expected to drink milk not soda and fruit juice. My mom was a single working mother and she raised me in the 70's and 80's on a budget of food stamps and managed to feed me healthy nutritious food that wasn't packaged crap, plus fast food and packaged snacks and soda and juice is much more expensive than real food, so I highly doubt that it's a food budget that causes todays modern parents to raise their kids on a diet of crap. People just tend to be too lazy to cook and quite frankly it takes only a few minutes to shove some good stuff in a crock pot in the morning before going to work.

There is nothing wrong with packaged crap, fast food, soda and juice when it is given in moderation, but seriously there is a problem with todays parents not feeding their children properly and not allowing their children that all important free time outside to get fresh air and exercise.

181 evening, all. as long as we're commiserating about the total collapse of modern civilization, this is my vote for must-read of the day.
http://tinyurl.com/yl29nmr

Can't believe even Emily Post is slutting it up these days, aaargh. And, of course, it has that unavoidable motto of modern misparenting, "let's be realistic":

"We're not prudish by any stretch; we're more realists than anything else," Peggy Post explained by phone. "We really made a conscious decision not to try to lecture teens or tell them what to do, but instead give them the tools, questions for them to ask themselves, so that they don't feel pressure."

Screw that. They're kids. LECTURE THEM. PUNISH THEM. DON'T LET THEM OUTSIDE WEARING THAT. Raise them, for crying out loud, don't just house them.

182 So, when I was in high school my friend was allowed to go to the PRS factory and pick out the woods for his new guitar in person.  When he got there, they had Jimmeh's #1 Burst there getting its' neck mocked up/duplicated for a PRS Jimmy used on the 'Outrider' album.  While he didin't get to pug it in and play it, he did get to hold it and has a pcture of him doing so...I decided to go to the Dead show at RFK rather than go to the factory with him!

183 I like wearing shorts and mini skirts, but I don't wear tights with either. I think it's a little weird, but on some people it looks cool. I also don't think leggings should be a substitute for pants unless you're exercising or wearing a long shirt/dress, no matter how skinny you are.

201 The new style is short shorts in wool with dark tights and riding boots.  If you can pull it off it looks very nice.  But if you don't feel comfortable or you aren't wearing the style correctly you can end up looking like a ho.

Maybe I need to turn in my AOS Man-Card, but I prefer that a woman dress like a lady.  Knee-length skirts, nothing too tight.  The essence of seduction is to leave something to the imagination.

I forget who it was who said of his speech:  "I want it to be like a woman's skirt.  Long enough to cover everything, yet short enough to remain interesting."

Liz, thankfully I was never that kid.  Way too dorky/socially repressed/agreed with my parents on that crap often enough to be that kid.  My brother, on the other hand, was that kid.  Comes with being the second child for him, I guess.  Then again, rules is rules, and as I see it, the household is not a democracy.

208 More "green" stupidity

There's been a stench coming from the second floor of City Hall -- and it has nothing to do with the steady stream of Chicago aldermen convicted on corruption charges.

Waterless urinals installed to promote water conservation in the public men's room outside the City Council chambers have turned into a stinky mess. The odor got so bad that the "green" urinals are now being ripped out and replaced with the old-fashioned kind at a cost City Hall has refused to disclose.

The problem is that Chicago's building code requires commercial buildings to use copper pipes in indoor plumbing. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers specifically states that drainpipes for waterless urinals "cannot be made of copper pipe, which corrodes."

I kinda caved on the dress aspect. My kids were taught to make up their own mind. I just sat back and "advised" them a lil' bit. I pointed out that nose rings and eyebrow chains are the kinda thing that just aches to be ripped out in a fight.

I told them to look at some old sailors' tattoos. Nothing against old sailors, but you know how tats get after thirty years. Better be damn sure you want that sucker, and that it's gonna look good when you are old. Like an anchor tat. Go with the classics.

I told them that wearing your pants down low may be the height of cool. But just imagine how stoopid the guy looks who needs to be able to run like hell to avoid a gang or help a friend, while pulling on his pants.

Results? So far no piercings, and the youngest is 21. He has a tat, but he did it himself, and it's one of his drawings (he's an artist), and he put it on his ankle.

Living 30 minutes away from all my other friends from high school on the other side of town, having no drivers license til I was 17, and having a former juvie court prosecutor as a mother also limits things you can get away with.  It may also explain why I was essentially dateless other than prom and had no booze other than communion wine all through high school (though to be honest I wasn't really interested in the booze til college, since I was only 3 hours away from Canada and the 19 year old drinking age).

219 When I was in 7th grade was when shorter skirts were really coming into style.  Mom made all of our clothes, and did a beautiful job.  We wore blouses and skirts to school as there was sort of a dress code.  Mom made our skirts so they'd just hit the middle of our knees, and we were able to roll up the waistbands after we got out of eyesight so our skirts would be a couple of inches shorter.  I can remember mom's puzzlement about how our waistbands got all crinkled the way they'd get when we did that.  Gosh, we don't know, mom...

I'll chime in here re attire.

Pretty simple: do what feels right (and of course I'm talking about adults here).

Just becaues one may tart it up every now and again is not an indication of one's availibility or promiscuity. I have to dress pretty conservative for work. So it's nice on the weekend to be able to relax the standard. Doesn't mean I'm advertising that I'm asking for it or anything it just meant that I'll enjoy it while I have it.

(And of course this doesn't mean I'll shop at Forever XXI or whatever those types of places are called. Girls in their 30s should probably try a bit harder than that).

241 In general I wouldn't have a problem if my kid wanted to go with the goth look (or whatever). My problems with dress has more to do with clothing covering the proper amount of flesh and being age appropriate. Teenage girls do not wear mini-skirts. Period. (at least they never would in my house).

I know that I'll have differences of opinion about style. Every generation tends to hate their childs style of dressing. But generally, as long as proper body parts are covered I might dislike the style, but I wouldn't ground them for it.

246 I didn't care if my kids looked like paragons of style.  I just demanded honesty and honor.  Hell, they could even be the "stinky kid" every now and then if they wanted.

But they were both the kinda guys other kids would turn to to get shit done.  And I don't mean pranks, I mean stuff like helping kids produce stuff to sell, or designing a platform, or getting a gig for a band, or helping someone with trouble at home, or learning shit they don't even teach in school anymore.

My smallerpage site exists because the older kid built the platform it lives on. (you can all get a smallerpage site, too). The younger one likes to collect defunct bikes, and with his housemates, they fix 'em up and give 'em to kids (don't tell the government). His housemates all look like punks, but they are good people.

I totally agree. Until I was age 17 and working and earning my own money my mom bought me hanes underwear in a package. And even once I bought my own VS stuff I had to hide it. There is no reason any teenager needs VS for any reason.

Posted by: Elizabeth at February 06, 2010 07:47 PM (QjuDE)

254 I find it appalling when I'm in there and I see a Mom helping her 13 yr old daughter buy the "pink line" of VS undewear.

I'm so with you, lacey! It appalls me to see middle schoolers wearing VS Pink clothing. I think the intent was to have a less expensive clothing line for college women, but I see middle and high schoolers shopping the Pink line. It's crazy.

- is smarter than me, but too classy to need to prove it (nothing is sexier than a brilliant, confident woman)
-  dresses like lady in public, reserving the more intimate attire for me at home
- knows what to say in any situation to soothe, save face, and not offend.
- treats visitors as family, making them comfortable
- can make conversation with both the President and the gas station clerk alike, making both feel equally important
- can fry up the bacon and bring it home in a pan, knowing that we men have our foibles about that

Fitting lyrics for many morons - Flashlight Brown's Ready to Roll:

"I got a 20-sider on call
I got the real world blinded
Midnight, torchlight down in the haunted cave
Get some platinum the D.M will turn the page

We may not know any girls
But we have graph paper guilding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

Check out my thief he's got the black shield
Check out my sickly cave tan
Lawful, evil a moral catastrophe
Half-orc, full dork; the myth and reality

We may not know any girls
But we have graph paper guilding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

Pick up the phone the pizza's still late
Pick up from where your mule died
Go to the tavern have a few beers
Pick up an Elvin bar whore

We may not know any girls
But we have graph paper guilding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

That was by far the best time that we ever had "

See, Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now both are psychologically messed up, brutally violent, and probably make more sense while on some kind of mind altering substance.  Kramer vs. Kramer is none of those things.  Somehow it managed to escape the 1970s with some semblance of sanity in the finished product.

I really think MS should try to set a standard that there is some explanation of windows processes. Yeah, they can't make everyone do it, but it is pretty annoying to see a list of processes with no idea what they each are. Google does usually help, but I shouldn't have to...

One other thing I would suggest is running msconfig from a dos prompt. You can stop programs from starting at startup -  like real scheduler. Just make sure you don't turn off anything if you don't know what it is...

335 I'll admit to being a snob from time to time, but I'm nice to wait staff. No telling what they'll do to my food if I'm not.

Also, nice people tend to get more things done for them more efficiently. Not always, but usually. Does not work on government workers however. Why are USPS counter service people so dour?

Posted by: Adrian at February 07, 2010 12:04 AM (HqFA1)

I thought Kramer vs Kramer was an unmitigated piece of manipulative PC crap. And, as my girlfriend noted at the time, how could two people with big whopping ethnic shnozzes like Hoffman and Streep have a kid with almost no nose at all?

That kid looked like a more evil junior Stephen King, as Pauline Kael noted at the time.

That movie was a harbinger of the PC shit we have suffered with for the past 30 years.

Posted by: koopy at February 06, 2010 08:18 PM (XllG0)

347 Why are USPS counter service people so dour?

Because they can't be fired for having a bad attitude, and they get paid X per hour no matter how slow they work. One of my best friends works the counter at the post office and I swear some of the shit the people that work there do and don't get fired for is just ridiculous. One mailman hid his route mail for a week in a back closet because he felt like sitting in a coffee shop all day long instead of delivering mail. He wasn't fired, and his only punishment was that he was demoted to working the back room (but his pay remained exactly the same).

406 sorry, took a dinner break, back to defend Kramer vs. Kramer. Okay, it's been a long time since I last saw it, so maybe I'm remembering it totally wrong, in which case forgive me. But as I remember it, some spoiled rich woman gets a whim to find herself and this quest for 'independence' destroys her marriage, her husband, and her son. Maybe it's cuz I'm a guy and biased like that, but I totally saw Streep as the villain (or, more charitably, as the dupe of the modern feminist movement and godlessness in general), and Hoffman and the boy as innocent bystanders who will be forever traumatized. then the liberal courts give her custody even though she doesn't deserve it, just because they hate all men (paging Dr. Helen). I don't know how this is PC at all, but I suppose if you're a feminist you can see it as an oppressed woman finally escaping the patriarchy and the enslaving bonds of marriage and motherhood or something.

Personally, I think it is among the best Plays you can: read. 

Don't think I'll ever go see it...and seeing how I missed the all Lesbian edition done in Missoula last year, I doubt I'll ever get the chance to be that motivated to go again.

Posted by: garrett at February 06, 2010 09:04 PM (xCF2m)

454 yeah, lots of people love existentialism, i used to be a big fan, too. it's just that many people read and love The Stranger, which was written before the war, and don't realize that Camus then in many ways repudiated it with The Plague after the war, in which he showed what consequences come from ignoring our ties to others, even strangers, and how heroic it is to fight against alienation and apathy and to do everything you can to save others.

521 517 That's a really cool pic. The first time I saw that memorial I thought it was real people.

I honestly think it's the best memorial, as well as the most creative. It really gives a human face to the conflict.

The ones from Wiki are better, but I saw that on Yahoo!News the day of the storm.

522 The only good thing about snow in DC, b/c it was created with this in-mind: http://tinyurl.com/yhpond2    
Which is ironic because that's how it really was over there.   The Korean War memorial was my favorite war memorial in D.C.  The guy who designed it was a Korean War vet, and he used the real faces of soldiers (from photographs) on the statues.  When we were there in Oct., 2008, we had the cutest, sweetest docent.  He was from North Dakota, and he himself was a vet of the Korean War.  I absolutely just wanted to bring him home with me.

Hope I got the answers correct! (Of course I did).  Didn't watch the long ass video (have it playing in the background now. Will keep typing until the almost 30 min vid ends ). You want me to spend HALF AN HOUR on a video about *F*-ng TIMESHEETS for a job that paid me less than 40 Hours for the ENTIREY of January!? Obviously, someone is laughing their ass off about the prospects of one of the -project people- becoming homeless and unemployable because they stuck with X-Company.

I'm such a mean jerk.

I think I'm fired.

My supervisor sent me a blast e-mail about how busy she is going to be with all of her 20 hours in the field and 20 hours doing paperwork. 

Man, I can't I imagine what a fucking burden it must be for her to actually work and get paid for 40 hours per week.

It must be exhausting.

I didn't really mean to fire myself from this job so inadvertently, but  I'll have to admit that I relish the idea  of her driving down here over and over, to fill my shoes, until she dies in a car crash.

Yes. But fuck the Saints. I'm sick of hearing how they're "America's team". because of Katrina. Katrina? Seriously from where I sit that city is still a cesspool. They played this same violin after 9/11 when the Yankees went to the world series and we were all told we should root for them.

Posted by: wherestherum at February 06, 2010 10:30 PM (gofDd)

626 editor, part of the problem is that most people don't talk about this kind of stuff and if they did, they would just relax and not worry about it.  So often I think people's own minds stop them from getting pregnant and then, when they give up and buy a dog, poof they're pregnant.  Because they concentrated on the dog and let nature take its course.

639 editor, this has worked for a lot of my guy friends.  You have to tell her that no matter what you love her, even if you never have children, it's her you love and her you chose to spend your life with.  So, if you have children that's wonderful but, if you don't, you won't love her any the less and she should know that you really really love her and you have stopped worrying about it and are going to relax and wherever God directs you, you're going to follow.  Don't know why it works but it really works.

Posted by: wherestherum at February 06, 2010 11:14 PM (gofDd)

717 G strings and thongs = permanent wedgie. Why would anyone want to wear something like that?

I was always raised with the notion they were just-for-fun.

Beats going commando, I guess.

Does it?

The problem is you never get to choose which butt crack you're gonna see.

Sorta like being re-incarnated as a woman's bicycle seat...that time on the rack is rack with anticipation and fear of the unknown...

hey question...

So the girl that was in the low cut top with the bra on the yahoo page, was that really ace's stalker?

Some person called me out for making fun of her (which I didn't do--I merely pointed out that the bra didn't match the top and she looked like she was trying too hard).

I saw that.  Held my tongue.  My theory is that person who called you out was the gal in the photo.  (btw, if we can tell the colors of your bra under your shirt, you're trying too hard.  Also, polka dots and leopard are a fashion choice for the fashion challenged.  It's not avant garde.)

Hit and Run sucks.  Happened to me, in Tucson, three times while I was in College.

All three times I was on my bike, commuting.  One was a Hostess truck, one a hottie in a Toyota Pickup, one was a dipshit in a Buick Riviera.  Another cyclist chased down the Riviera and got me a brand-e-new bike and a big fat check!

This is why I have promised to never in the future, ever, relate to a serious relationship via electronic communication.  IMs and text messages ruined things for me before.  Also, phone calls, but that's because someone didn't adhere to set boundaries.

I think that as easy as electronics has made communication, it has also made it worse.  A lot is lost when you don't have the strictly human component involved.

Lacy,  I doubt you are up but here's the poop on the Burlesque Show.

The show on Friday is in a bar in Northside called Mayday, and we are only doing 3 acts in between bands.  Drinks are available, but no food, I believe.  There are no tables in the room in which we perform, but there are a couple of tables in the other rooms.  The next BIG show where we are the only act (35 numbers or so) will be March 27th at Leapin' Lizard Gallery in Covington.  There will be PLENTY of seating available for that one, as well as drinks available.  And yes, we'd love to promote!  We recently did two interviews with Hell in a Handbasket Zine and CincyVoices.com.

but there's nothing to be sad about.  My dog is the cutest thing you have ever seen...even at 16.5.  It is amazing...she just has limited Sphincter Control at her age.  Otherwise she seems impervious to the things that kill all other dogs.  She's attentive and loving and actually enjoys every fucking day...it's pathetic.

810 - I had to put my Black Pointing Lab down last spring.  She was my hunting buddy for 9 years.  Saddest day of my life.  She was the sweetest little thing on earth...if you weren't a Duck or a Pheasant.

I can't even see a Black Lab without losing it...

Fox just did a little hit piece on Sarah Palin. Their new meme is that she is appealing to the “base” and throwing “red meat” to the base. They say she is also hitting on the Republican Party and they made snide little “hints” about the bible belt. They said she has forgotten that there are some people from the middle and Dems in the Tea Party movement.  Basically to them “in the middle” means some one who is not religious since their long term meme is that all conservatives are “religious”.

 

This after one of the other talking heads said she brought the house down.  They have truly shifted to the left. Especially F&F in the morning.

I have quit watching them except in the morning when I am eating breakfast. It is almost a force of habit to watch the news when eating brerakfast and the alternative news channels are even worse.

Even my three "local" news stations are nothing more than Dem PR rags.  The same mega-agency who owns all the news papers here owns the local TV stations as well. 

If by some miracle the agency was conservative and pushed conservatives I am sure the DOJ would be in here screaming "monopoly" and shutting it down.

I particularly hate when they have a guy on the left (like Jerry Rivers) who is simply lying. Lying about Bush, lying about the deficit, lying about Obama Lying about health care. I know enough facts that I know they are lying and I wish Buckley was around to sock em.

The all star panel is more civilized and informative so I watch that, but when the other crap comes on I hit mute and never turn it back on. Who wants to see people argue?

I have been bitching about those so-called "fair and balanced" debates for a long time.  The demoncrap always spews one lie after another and NOBODY ever calls them on it. I sometimes think they get their Republican representaive from "Stupid RINOs or Us".  Those panels are absolutely worthless. I even wrote Fox an E-Mail telling them they were a waste of time.

NG; we do hogs in the ground here as well but we don't bury them. Usually we dig a pit and build a grill over the pit, surround the pit with sheet metal and shovel in hot coals from a 55 gal drum.

It usually takes all night and everyone is excessively drunk by the time the hog is done.  The biggest problem is keeping the hog from catching on fire and getting too drunk to take care of it.

907 914,

Usually when I attend these SB parties it's a bunch of beer drinkers all trying to hit the same garbage can with empties, and a lot of yelling, not used to rubbing elbows with rich folks but it should be fun.

908 AB Stoddar, a bloggeer is on MSNBC accusing Sarah Palin of "writing stuff on her hand".

909 I think this is so funny.  They are accusing Sarah of taking questions and knowing the questions ahead of time and making a "cheat sheet" on her palm to answer them.   They seem upset that she may have seen the questions ahead of time.  This is too funny.  She didn't use a teleprompter, did she?  She had a pseudo news conference with real questions that she answered.  When was the last time BO had a news conference where he didn't know the questions ahead of time?

HH on CNN with Arrianna Puffington doing the CNN version of F&B debate. Of course Pufferington managed to garner the most time and talked all over Hugh when he tried to get his 2 cents in.

Her major attack (that I causght) was on how Glenn Beck was paranoid and made outrageous attacks against Obama whe he said he was trying to implement communism in the U.S.

I kept waiting for HH to ask her if she even knew what Communinsm was.  Didn't happen.  We just can't win in these so-called debates. It makes me wonder if this was pre-recorded and they edited out HH's responses like they did for Sarah Palin (who they also got a dig in at her AND Fox News).

I was reading the Hillbuzz thread from last night on Palin's speech and there was a poster over there that insisted he saw 'stuff written on her hand'.  Others insisted he was full of it and questioned why she would write anything on her hand when she had note cards.

914 maria b interviewing billy clinton.

915 I think the "there's stuff written on her hand" controversy is just too funny.  Hope she did have stuff written on her hand, like remember to call the kids at x time to see if they did what I asked and tell someone to move the clothes from the washer and the dryer and not to forget the dryer sheet"  Never wrote anything on my hand but a lot of my buds did.  Just shows America, once again, how Sarah Palin IS one of them.  Would not be surprised if she didn't put it there by design to give them something to ruminate about.  This is too funny.  too funny.

Is HH Hugh Hewitt bka Huge Douche?  That loudmouthed cocksucker irritates me almost as much as Zsa Zsa.

Is HH Hugh Hewitt bka Huge Douche? 

Yes, it was HH from Townhall.  They billed him as a "radio host".

Posted by: Vic at February 07, 2010 07:53 AM (QrA9E)

919 They billed him as a "radio host".

I wish he'd get the fuck off my radio.  That prick *really* pisses me off with his "I'm a Buckeye" schtick from his real home in California.  Fuck that shit; if he thinks it's so fucking great back here in Ahia, then man up and get your pansy ass back here.  You're a Buckeye if A.  You live in Ohio or B. You went to Ohio State and Huge Douche is 0 for 2 in that regard.  Hell he went to Meechigan for fuck's sake.  And stop making a big deal about cheering for Cleveland teams, you phony cocksucker.  You grew up in Warren and could just as easily be a Shittburgh fan.
