1 Ugh, they're replaying Tina Fey caricaturing Sarah Palin on SNL. Is she actually funny, or is she just affirmative action funny as in I have to think she's funny because most comediennes suck?

Then again, they say any good joke has a seed of truth. Fey's Palin builds off of bs made up by her previous incantations of Palin, so maybe it's just super comedy that's over my head or something.

2 Mondays suck, that is all

3 Morning, all.

4 Only fucking retards consider SNL funny; it hasn't had a single intelligent person on the cast since Dennis Miller checked out.

5 Tina Fey is a funny comedienne in the same way that Maureen Dowd is an insightful columnist.
Bernie Madoff made a more honest living with similar victims.

6 Tina Fey... ah, yes... I remember that nearly-drowned creature who tried to crawl onto my yacht one morning when I was just out not fishing but getting rid of a hangover via the salt-spray-fresh-air-and-gasoline-fumes method. I hit her with my oar. I'm sure she's dead now. What's that...? You say she's still alive...?

7 Tina Fey is totally worth a donkey punch.

8 Morning All

14 I know this is an old trope, but it conrinues to astound.  I was watching the slut walk video from Boston, and there was not a single remotely attractive woman in the crowd.  I mean... 2,000 women, you'd think one would be attractive by accident.

15 Somebody tell those stupid fuckers in DC I have nothing to do with the budget process. Thanks.

16 Just got back from a graduation at the Uni. of Nebraska at Lincoln... two disparate moments come to mind. About 2,800 kids graduated that day. After everyone walked across the stage, a US Army colonel asked the ROTC grads to stand up, and about 10 kids did so. The commencement was inside UNL's indoor basketball stadium, packed solid with family members. To a man, we all stood up to applaud those kids. Being from Connecticut - and a ROTC graduate myself, from a Connecticut school - I can't imagine that happening in this state. The colonel would not be invited to speak, the kids would not be singled out, and hardly anyone would actually stand up for them. Good for you, Nebraska! On the other hand... the commencement speaker was the head of some Chinese university, and the half of the speech that didn't sound like it was in Chinese was a essentially Chicom propaganda. Not one word exhorting the kids to greater efforts as they go off into their futures. The stand out line? "America is a great nation. So is China." So 2,800 patriotic, straight-cut mid-western American kids got a dose of Chinese communist propaganda on their graduation day, as their commencement speech. Great going, Liberals!

More on Romney and SC

His people (most likely him) are still leaning towards skipping SC and they are blaming "religious prejudice" for lack of support in SC.

Hey Mitt, a gun grabbing shit who espouses all kinds of liberal crap when Gov is not going to get a lot of support in SC. Religion has just about zip to do with it.

We have Mormons all over SC. South Carolinians have always been very tolerant of different religions. We had the largest congregation of Jewish worshipers in North America during colonial days.

What we don't have is politicians who worship gun control and government healthcare.

23 MSNBC has the Mad Money turd on declaring the economy is full blown recovery. $5 a gallon gas? Continued increase in unemployment benefit applications? Truly, MAD money.

24

Why does "Tina Fey Reprises Palin Role" warrant a front-page mention on the Chicago Tribune's website?  If it hates on Palin, it runs.

I didn't begrudge Tina Fey until her tacky comments at the Mark Twain awards.  What a low-class bitch.

Most voters believe the popularity boost President Obama has received following the killing of Osama bin Laden will disappear quickly, according to a new poll conducted for The Hill.

Obama Campaign Denies Purchase of GutsyCall.com

The Democratic National Committee insists the website wasnÂ’t created by its team, or the Obama campaign apparatus. A DNC official told The Huffington Post that neither entity bought the URL in question, nor do they have a clue -- as of Friday morning, at least -- who did.

The creator of the website, indeed, appears to have cloaked the registration details, making him or her completely anonymous. The server in Scottsdale, Arizona (which says little about the website itself) and was purchased from GoDaddy.com.

The misinformation (if, in fact, this isnÂ’t a DNC site) may seem like small potatoes, far overshadowed by the news of bin LadenÂ’s death. But the DNC took the incident seriously enough to push back forcefully on Friday, not only denying any connection to the provenance of the URL but also purchasing a URL of its own -- ww.weeklyNOstandards.com -- to redirect to the Weekly StandardÂ’s homepage.


Oooh, burn. With that sort of biting wit, the DNC might have lent its assistance to the DSCC when it was picking a new slogan a few months back. For the record, I first saw this story tweeted by a National Journal editor, who flatly asserted that OFA was the "new owner" of the domain name. Perhaps the DNC should snap up NationaJournalisticmalpractice.com while it's still available.

Nice!  On the one hand I'm excited about the idea of those bastards having to figure out how to eat sand.    On the other hand, I'm a little bit nervous about what starvation over there could lead to.  If the sons of Saud are suddenly in a bind for food, they can afford to pay quite a lot as things stand now.  That would drive up costs for food here at home.

Sickening.  And of course it's been going on for some time.  A couple years ago there was a similar story about little girls who were kidnapped and beheaded while on their morning walk to Catholic school.  Notice, as the article pointed out, that the muz are a small minority in that nation.  It takes a very low population percentage for the muz to hit critical mass and begin their murder spree. 

This is why I advocate, and will always advocate, reducing the muz content of the US to zero, by whatever means is most effective. 

64

I knew that moving to the suburbs would expose you to a whole new kind of culture shock, but I had no idea there were people who didn't get drunk to mow the lawn.

it's funny you say that. I nromally never drink and mow the lawn, but I only had beer in my fridge this weekend and didn't feel like drinking tap water.

I got drunk pretty fast while mowing the lawn because I was drinking it in the same way i drink water while mowing the lawn, in big continous gulp.

I almost fell over when I was weed wacking. It was considerably more enjoyable however it took me a lot longer.

65

also, i tuned into SNL this weekend to see how they would play the bin laden killing but i had to turn it off after 20 minutes.

The opening bin laden skit wasn't funny, I must not have stayed with it long enough to see the stupid Palin skit,  The under the sea bin laden skit was terrible. As soon as i saw it I knew what was going to happen and it wasn't funny. The Michael Bolton music video was moderately funny, then again Andy Samberg is one of the only funny people on that show.

And finally I had to turn it off when they had to make a Republican debate that didn't happen. Did anyone else notice that? The people at their fake republican debate weren't even on the real debate. It had Romney, Gingrich and others.

How pathetic is that. We're over two years into the Obama administration and they still can't make fun of him. It's a shame because their Clinton skits used to be funny and sometimes mean (read:accurate).  Maybe they just don't have someone who can play the  Obama character seeing as they have an unwritten rule that they can only have one black cast member per season and he can only be in one skit per episode(see:every black cast member after Eddie Murphy).

 

It's a shame, I used to enjoy SNL. It's always had political skits, the Bush 1 skits, Reagan, Ford and Clinton skits, but now political skits make up 30%-40% of every show. It's all the material they have anymore. When was the last time SNL created a popular well known character that wasn't a political impersonation?

Nice to see that Egyptian reform movement still hasn't lost touch with its roots.  Christian slaughtering, death-to-the-infidel roots, that is.

Islamists torch church in Cairo – 12 dead, hundreds injured (Commentator UK)

At least 12 people died and 230 were injured, some seriously, after Islamists burned down two churches in a Cairo suburb over the weekend in a bloody rampage against Coptic Christians.

It was the second assault on Egyptian Christians in less than a month.

Hundreds of Salafist radicals massed outside the Saint Mina Church on Saturday night firing guns, and throwing Molotov cocktails, bottles and rocks amid rumours swirling through the countryÂ’s Muslim community that a Coptic ChristianÂ’s wife had converted secretly to Islam and was being held in the church against her will.

The woman in question has appeared on television to deny the rumours but Salafists and their supporters refuse to believe her...

Such enlightened, intelligent folk.  I'm surprised they weren't proclaiming that the church was run by genies and sorcerers.

Few years ago was talking to a customer of mine and he was talking about how he has a cooler on the back of his riding mower and drinks continuously as he mows his five acres. He uses a push mower for the smaller cut-in spaces.

I have nothing against having a beer while mowing, but this guy was the sort who would down a 12-pack in about two hours.

Thanks, Tami. Let's keep him in our prayers.


Yes, will do.

100 21 Fey's Palin builds off of bs made up by her previous incantations of Palin, so maybe it's just super comedy that's over my head or something.

"The real jokes are in Fey's bra cups."     You forgot the ginormous saddlebags. Don't film Fey below the neck and especially from the rear, it ain't pretty.

101

The discussion was about torture and he was spouting some nonsense about popping eyes out or something.

Well, President Petey says that doctors rip tonsils out of kids and hack off peoples feet.

@#66  Pray for Christians under islam - especially in Egypt right now.

OT - thank you for the Noam Chomsky slap down.  If you'd like to see the ultimate Chomsky slap down - look up the story of the book "Fashionable Nonsense." 

Chomsky is a linguist who thinks words don't have specific meanings.  To paraphrase - it takes an educated man to be that stupid.

103 Explain please.  I missed something again.

ktnxbai has been out of work (something I missed, but tracking back old threads it looks like it's been a while).  He posted on a thread (Friday night, I think) that he'd gotten a job and was really happy.  But on Sunday's open thread he posted one comment that was very worrisome indicating that on Saturday the employer had left him a phone message retracting the offer and basically saying he's "dead" and goodbye.

I wish I had the computer-fu to try to find him, but I have no idea how folks do that (as they did with CaliGrump). 

104 ROP?
 
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit as an American Airlines flight approached San Francisco, the third security incident in a day on U.S. planes, authorities said Monday.

A male flight attendant tackled the suspect, who carried a Yemen passport, and other crew members aided as the suspect banged on the cockpit door.

Posted by: Tami at May 09, 2011 09:07 AM (VuLos)

I claim we should point this out to the Gyppies and tell them to go see the Chinese - go to the source, in other words.

I always thought Cuba was great because it drained money from the USSR; maybe we should line up a few basket-case countries with nothing to offer, and hang them around China's proverbial neck. They want to be a superpower, let them support some leeches, too.

107

Ugh, I still need to mow the back yard. Except for the part near the robins' nest. We have babies! And Mama Robin has made it clear that we shouldn't get near them...

When I bought my last mower I made sure it had a cup holder.

I'm really hoping you have a riding mower...

108 Obama was not concerned about the safety of the SEAL team in the traditional sense.  It was all about as to how it pertained to it being a success or failure.  He didn't want another Desert One fiasco.  That was the limit of his "concern".

109 It is obvious that our betters understand teh nuances of teh mooslim brotherhood far better than we serfs. 
If we serfs had our way, we'd probably waste teh money doing something like building a fence along teh Southern border, enforcing immigration laws, deporting illegal alien criminals, prosecuting criminal bankers for fraud, or really "investing" in domestic energy production.

Oh, FABULOUS.  I love this particular part of that story:

He was identified as 28-year-old Rageit Almurisi. Though he carried a Yemen passport, it wasn't clear if his nationality was also Yemeni, Rodgriguez said.

With a Yemen passport, but not necessarily Yemeni.  I guess they just hand them out like Cracker Jack prizes in Yemen.

I hope the male flight attendant who wrestled this bastard to the ground gets a huge bonus in his paycheck this week. 

115 Did anybody notice Juan Williams referring to the "murder" of Osama yesterday? Or was the rest of what he was saying outrageous enough? The discussion was about torture and he was spouting some nonsense about popping eyes out or something. I thought it sounded like he was saying we actually did that kind of stuff. Anyway, it's really not cool to essentially refer to national heroes putting their lives on the line for our country as "murderers". They should really fire that idiot.

Posted by: Optimizer at May 09, 2011 09:07 AM (F56VB)

Juan and Fox continue to disgust me, but they are the lesser of mnay evils (but not by much).  Think he said 'pulling teeth out and popping eyes out' and was not corrected by ANYONE on teh panel.

Juan is not the only lib commentator using the "murder" term (which seems to establish the framework for criminal prosecution by our beloved EH DoJ).

This.  Seriously, China wants to be a rival for superpower status with us?  Fine.  But you can't reap the benefits without suffering through the drawbacks, too.

117 103 I wish I had the computer-fu to try to find him, but I have no idea how folks do that (as they did with CaliGrump).
 
CG left his real name in his post which enabled tracking down his contact info. Now, the FBI could track down ktnxbai from his email address but they would need a warrant (theoretically at least).  I doubt the post would rate, while disturbing, their intervention.
 
I hope we hear from him/her soon.

118 Thanks Tami and Y-Not.  I'll pray for him.  The sad part is that a lot of people are feeling this way. 

Hell, the ones with jobs are starting to feel this way.

Obama has put us in a bad place, and I'm afraid it is only going to get worse. 

Two years ago Beck started his, 'Get dialed into God' meme.  I hope the Believers took him seriously.

They work fine and keep the beer cold. Usually it only takes me about two hours to mow my 1.5 acres and about 3 beers so I don't get very drunk.

And yes, it is a riding mower. Mowing grass really would be a chore without beer and my noise cancelling headphones with MP3 player.

126 Think he said 'pulling teeth out and popping eyes out' and was not corrected by ANYONE on teh panel.

In fairness to the rest of the panel (other than Mara the dimwit, who's under an NPR fatwa to ignore everybody else) they pretty much regard Juan as being a dumbass and the only time anybody other than Britt (who wasn't there yesterday) responds to him is if he inadvertently makes sense.

127

Well, one of the other incidents involved a note being found, so I guess they don't know who wrote it.

The other one is this, with no name in the article I found:

A 34-year-old passenger from Burbank, IL, created panic in the flight, immediately after 20 minutes of take off from Houston on Sunday, by walking towards the front of the cabin, saying he had to get off the plane.

He also made an attempt to open an emergency exit door but failed.

128 Since SC refused to exempt Amazon from collecting sales taxes so they abandoned their warehouse site there, here is where it went:
 
Amazon.com is planning to open a third large distribution center with hundreds of jobs in tax-friendly Indiana, finding refuge from other states that have attempted to force the online retail giant to collect sales tax. Seattle-based Amazon is announcing today that it plans to open a 900,000-square-foot Internet order fulfillment center in Indianapolis this summer but gave few other details.
 
Heh. wtg Amazon.

Is it me, or does this "trying to open the door while in flight" THING seem to happen a lot lately?  Is it just that it gets reported more often?  Or am I seeing mountains where there are only molehills?

130 I had the greatest Mother's Day ever.  We cooked steaks on the grill for my mom and Hubby's mom. My not - lib brother came with his kids, we played baseball, we at,e we laughed, we  had a great time.

Then everyone left and my kids talked my 72 year old mom into playing DSi and Wii.  They played for 4 hours laughing and gigling the entire time.

I wish everyone could me my mom.  See truly is the greatest, spunkiest woman I have ever met.

Her mother's day present: take her to buy a new handgun after her shoulder surgery.

A few weeks ago we helped mom with something at her house, and we told her we were just going to the drive thru for dinner, so no she couldn't take us out to eat.  As we were ordering our food, my mom jumps in the drive thru line and pays for our meal, and then drives off.  She is a million types of awesome.

131 I hope the male flight attendant who wrestled this bastard to the ground gets a already got a huge bonus in his paycheck this week.

Keep your seatbelt fastened. Or kill the turd. I remember the Hawaiian Air flight when the roof of the jet pealed off sucking a stewardess and a couple of passengers into the Pacific. Nothing like riding in a convertible 707.

At Big Journalism:

Why have so many mothers become so active?

Because motherhood is political.

I have two sons. One day they may hear the call of duty and enlist to fight for our liberty. One day they may be called upon to defend AmericaÂ’s shores. They may decide to enter business or take up a trade. They may decide to have families of their own someday. I want them to have every opportunity available to them and I will stand against that which impedes on their rights. ItÂ’s instinctual: my job as a mother is to raise up, nurture, and protect my children, to protect their interests, to protect the interests of my family. In a society where my first line of defense, my husband, has been compromised by the self-victimization of the female sex, IÂ’ve volunteered to go to the front lines of this ideological battle and I do it for my children. IÂ’m not the only one.

 

144

I have no idea how that POS show is still on the air. They must pay people to watch it

People still do because it's the only thing on tv on saturday night, and there is still a large segment of the population who doesn't get anything but basic cable.

If it weren't for like 3 or 4 shows and NHL hockey, I wouldn't get cable either.

145 LOL, Monty DOOM thread IS up.

146 Thanks guys!  How was yours?  I didn't get a chance to read back through yesterday's threads yet.

Vic - those are cool glasses.  I'll have to get some when my kids get to that age when they stop breaking things. For know we use recycled glasses food jars (they don't break if they are dropped).

I've had these for many years. They can break if you try hard enough, but they just crumble instead of making nice sharp shards.

149 Hope all the moms had a good day yesterday.  I checked in for a minute between church and husband taking me to lunch.

Totally harshed my mellow.

Er, I mean the ones that say "nearly indestructible", of course.

151

Let's just say it was a good thing I had really low expectations.

152 Yeah Vic talks about how conscious the SC voters are and would never show prejudice in their voting decisions. These same brainiac voters that keep voting for Graham and relatively strong support for Huckabee. Vic should also write for SNL since he is good at misrepresenting the truth about people in addition to not being witty or funny.

153 I'll have to get some when my kids get to that age when they stop breaking things.

They are plastic so breakage not much of an issue.

160 poly - vic is reminding us that SC voters aren't locked down single issue voters -- and you counter with a RINO and a holy roller socialist.  Your shooting yourself in the foot.

SC politics and voting patterns are complex.  ( I did alot of pre-internet research on this while in school.) You have a more liberal, diverse coastal population that turnout to vote with inset areas of deep racial homogenity that don't.  Up country; you have a mix of tradition bound older (white and black) voters (D), military associated voters (R), and younger "Christian" voters (R) - with a few liberal clusters around the universities, and the african-american clusters.

161 and you counter with a RINO and a holy roller socialist.  Your shooting yourself in the foot.

I counter???? My original post was that being a Mormon is not why Romney is not doing that well in SC.

No poly is just being his normal asshole self.

Personally I think the only reason he posts here is to stir up trouble.
