« Head's Not Running for Senate | Main | If He Only Had A Spine »
January 6, 2009
Prime Time Thread
Open thread for documenting the constant variety of cable news hackery. And other randomness.
Tonight! Is it me or is the United States Senate totally FUBAR -- more so than usual?
(Also, I've installed a thing that will automatically close comments on a post after four days. So there's that, and whatever it means to you.)

Fox News is like Bizzaro World at times.
Between talk of limiting presidential powers and their condoning of lawyers getting involved in a senate election, Murdoch's channel keeps blowing my mind (until another National Review commercial brings me back to reality).
Posted by: Kyle W. at January 6, 2009 6:48 PM
Goddamnit, I like to comment five days after the fact.
I hope the whole country is FUBAR, that it's not just me. Today just sucked. Four more hours!

I posted this here a couple of days ago, but it seems appropriate to the situation: "If Harry Had a Spine"
He could bring a bill to cloture
And heed the will of voters
Ending gridlock-grind;
For sixty votes we'd muster
There'd be no filibuster
If Harry had a spine!
Agendas would be simple
And leftward of the middle
Passing in good time;
Oh, the bills we would be passing
With an expedited fashion
If Harry had a spine!
Oh, who can tell me why
The GOP's in charge?
'Minority' means not so large
So why is taking charge so hard?
He could be not quite so easy
An upright leader, you see,
Instead of flat-supine;
He would be friends with Jerry
Obama would be merry
If Harry had a spine!

Totally fucked. Nobody can get financing to pay me to fix their houses, so I'm flying to China tomorrow to live on the South China Sea with my lovely bride for an indefinite period of time. It's cheap, I have work teaching, they have killer Chinese food (hold the mellamine!)and I can't get pissed at the Huffington Post for blocking my comments, because they are blocked by the commies.
I'm not sure if this site is blocked or not. Most aren't, surprisingly. Hopefully I'll be in touch in a few days.

Emsique - For a second I thought you were joking (I'm still not entirely sure). Have fun in China. I've heard it's an incredible place, as long as you don't piss off the wrong people.
Matt - You've got a songwriting GIFT!

I don't think you can call Reid a wienie. He is missing the hardware to earn that title.

Rachel early!!! OOOOOHHHH!!! That was me trying to simulate an "O" over the intertubes. Premature of course.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 8:00 PM
Matt, I've got an insatiable urge to eat acid and listen to Dark Side Of The Moon.

And Emsique, please don't knock Go, Dog. Go! again, or I will have to go to China to kill you.
/snark You should look into set construction. Entertainment is (relatively) unaffected by the economy.

Rachel just donkeypunched Finestein in the uterus. I would pay good money to see Rachel verbally abuse this tool. By good money I mean the YEN.

"Donkeypunch" is now my most favoritest post-yuletide holdiay surprise phrase. Thank you, Mr. The GI The Joe.

Fuckityfuckfuckfuck. Darn kid wanted me to read an extra chapter of Harry Potter tonight, and apparently I missed Rachel being spectacular! I need to work on my kid's priorities.

Thanks Elvis,
Everyone that is a puppy lover please go check out the picture on my FB.
I had the placenta crapped on my lap this morning and something told me the my chihuahua was going into labor.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 8:25 PM
"Isn't this like making Judge Judy the Attorney General?" - KO on the Gupta story.
I love Keith. Really, I do.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:26 PM
GI: Eeeeew.
Whatever you do, guys, don't actually TRY a donkeypunch. You could kill someone.
Posted by: theo at January 6, 2009 8:29 PM
Elvis, I feel like my Maker's ran out an hour ago.
Bad fucking mood today. I am feeling glee thinking about donkeypunching Feinstein's uterus (sorry DP).

Joe's puppy pics and story are incredible. Everyone herd over there and look. He's a hero covered in afterbirth! I'm not being snarky, either. I mean it.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 6, 2009 8:31 PM
Speaking of donkeys, don't click on Elvis The Dingeldein's url. I could have gone all year without seeing that visual, Elvis.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:31 PM
I like Gupta. His parents are Indian and Pakistani. That is a Jew and a Gentile if I have ever heard one. His medical special a couple weeks ago on CNN made me throw all my food away. Something about Soybean Oil in everything and it is bad. Go to kitchen now and find something without soybean oil I darn you.
Jane, I will save you some time. Yes, there is soybean oil in blue cheese.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 8:31 PM
Donkeypunch!
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 8:34 PM
Joe, yeah soy nowadays (what we get) has...spliced human genes and whatnot in it, right? Monsanto.
Posted by: jane
at January 6, 2009 8:34 PM
Um, I was concentrating on puppies. There is a punch that, uh, aims for the fucking uterus (no longer named Elvis or otherwise--still taking nominations)? Guys, I must not look at that right now. I'll stay on the puppy part of Joe's page. I'm on drugs right now so I missed something more easily than usual.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 6, 2009 8:34 PM
My wine doesn't have soybean oil in it, Joe. And since that is my main source of sustenance.....
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:35 PM
I'm sorry about your Bad Mood, Teh Jane. If it makes you feel any better, I gave up teh Maker's. Nothing but tea and water from now on. So yeah, just fucking kill me.

Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:42 PM
Yes kat, there isn't soybean oil in wine. I am pretty sure it is in my shitty american beer. Gupta, did a whole story about the agriculture of this country was developed by Nixon just like our healthcare so you know it is good for you. Can we resume his remains and burn them just to make sure he doesn't get out of purgatory?
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 8:45 PM
Drat, 'The Mentalist' is all new tonight at the same time as Rachel. Choices, choices. Hot, sexy Rachel or hot, sexy Simon?
Which reminds me...Redmond? Can we make a request for some shirtless Simon Baker? I mean, since you're on an Aussie hottie roll...
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:46 PM
Yes, Joe. But what about Rumsfeld et al? Not to get you out of your happy place, but the whole Monsanto/Tamaflu/biogenetic engineering thing is alive and well and in charge of our decision makers.
Posted by: jane
at January 6, 2009 8:47 PM
Kat - Rachel has reruns, I don't think the Mentalist does.
Posted by: theo at January 6, 2009 8:48 PM
The whole agricultural/food thing is absolutely terrifying. It's one of the reasons I'm a vegetarian, and I'm a member of my local co-op. Join your co-op and buy local and organic, kids.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 8:49 PM
DP, you made me LOL.
But what will you talk about? "Jane's a bitch. Heh."?
Posted by: jane
at January 6, 2009 8:52 PM
Jane, that only went to you. I didn't think you'd want Jane's Goddamn Face to be a regular group. Heh. Now there's a thought.

My kid dreads hearing "taint" on the news because lately it just starts a spell of the giggles.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 6, 2009 9:01 PM
Oh my God... Leon Panetta has no taint! How did you find that out, Bob Baer? The fourth amendment precludes you from snooping Panetta's taint, or lack thereof!
Posted by: EL Mystico at January 6, 2009 9:02 PM
That or everyone's looking at cute wrinkly puppies, DP.
Either way, it's your fault.

I would donkeypunch my partner if they tried to monopolize the TV during KO or Rachel.

How are the puppies, Joecephus? Whimpering? Snuggling? Being generally fucking cute?

Squeaky. It is like a knife in my temple.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 9:09 PM
I can't donkeypunch for anyone wanting to watch "House". Anything else...well. *ugh*
At least they aren't looking at Jane's Goddamn Striped Feet on the Faceplate. Looked at the updated non-puppy photos, Janaluski?
Must hobble off to bed. Weak. Feel like I've been oh, never mind that shit.

Good to see you, DP, even if it was just for a short time! Feel better!
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 9:10 PM
Heh. Margaret Carlson said "balls."
Heh.
Then she said "two Clinton balls."
Adding: Balls.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:11 PM
Thanks, Kat. Baby steps. Margaret Carlson and balls. G'night.

Elvis- Thank you for not being the only one to snicker at all the balls coming out of Margaret Carlson's mouth.
ahem...

Excellent ball video Jane!!! Coin purse, HAH!!!
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 9:24 PM
Here's a Serious Political Question for you fucking wonks and wonkettes: To what degree do y'all think Rachel's devilish, saucy wit (and occasional juvenile snark) undercuts her Journalistic Integrity Quotient in the eyes of potential interviewees like Senator Donkeypunch In The Uterus Feinstein?
Rachel often lets us know that the fuckholes she reports on have been invited on the show to no avail, so I'm curious how much of their constant refusals is "Fuck MSNBC they're a Liberal chop-shop" versus "Fuck Rachel Maddow, she's got a sassy, saucy mouth and I won't be teased."
Adding: I would pay Rachel my entire life's savings (all $63.40 of it) for twenty minutes of sassy, saucy mouth action. And by that I mean just talking to me sassily about politics, I know she loathes The Penis.

Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:33 PM
Enjoy all the OOOHHHs you like, JOE-the-pup-midwife--but Rachel goes for wimmins.
Posted by: The Minx at January 6, 2009 9:33 PM
To hell with Panetta and Chance the Gardener, Margaret Carlson IS Edna Mode from The Incredibles. I'd stick links in there but that would Filter me. Bastardly bitching filters.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:34 PM
Elvis, that's what spellcheck says. What the fuck IS a noone?
(Also, what the fuck is a spellcheck?)

I don't know about that Elvis. I think she is taken seriously and I really haven't seen her rip apart anyone except David Frum.

Elvis- I think they're just scared of Rachel handing their asses to them.
Posted by: EL Mystico at January 6, 2009 9:40 PM
Apparently a cat has knocked over my late father's swizzle stick collection. And yes, there is a Playboy club SS in aforementioned collection.

A boy can dream(wet) Elvis. She will come around. I think it is a phase she is going through right now. I am planning on taking her to the Saddleback Church to get cured of The Gay and make an honest woman out of her. Yes, I would institutionalize Rachel Maddow.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 9:42 PM
(Jane- I thought you were Natzi?)
Posted by: EL Mystico at January 6, 2009 9:43 PM
Look, all kidding aside, if this thing about the Obamas being denied access to Blair House without proper cause is anything close to being true, the President Elect should kick off the Inaugural festivities by donkeypunching Bush in his gonad pouch and then shoving Laura's Stepford Wife-looking ass down a long flight of stairs. Fuck the Bushes in their oily evil ratholes. Seriously, fuck them. The entire rotten family is a disgrace upon that historied house and everything it stands for, and the Bush's safe departure from the Mansion proves it is not actually haunted by Lincoln's ghost, as it would surely have gone outrageously Poltergeist on their asses long ago and caused George to tear his face off after seeing the steak boil over with maggots.
Fuck the Bushes. They are utter scum.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:43 PM
Adding: Seriously, fuck the Bushes. Classless assholes.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:46 PM
Now that made me laugh.
Elvis, I am pretty sure that Bush has his own ghost the holy one to combat Lincoln's gay ghost.
I second the long flight of stairs.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 9:47 PM
Hmm...that depends, Jane. Playboy pussy? I'd be scared of what I might contract from that...
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 9:47 PM
El Sarcasmojevich, I actually myst that thread.
Get it? Heh.
And what Elvis said. Fuck Bush.
Heh.

at January 6, 2009 9:47 PM
I second (third? fourth? fifth?) what Elvis said. Rat bastards.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 9:48 PM
Kat, my late father's swizzle stick collection, including the ones from the Playboy club, are OFF FUCKING LIMITS.

Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 9:49 PM
Ah...well, shit, then Jane. I don't need a fucking cat.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 9:51 PM
What do you use a swizzle stick for anyway?
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 9:54 PM
What, you didn't know, Mr. The GI The Joe? Jane's vagina is shaped like a vodka and tonic.
And yet oddly, tastes like a Manhattan. Zing!
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:55 PM
Wait. I ARE a grammar Natzi. Who am I trying to piss off again?
And goddamnit, Elvis, why the fuck do you give and then taketh away? Teh world needs snark like yours. Every bit it can get.
Don't MAKE me come and steal your hard drive just to be able to read yer shit.

Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 9:57 PM
Elvis - Obviously your page link is Dems doing what they do best unto other Dems.
Posted by: PackyJ at January 6, 2009 9:59 PM
I wonder how badly Rachel dampened her underpants when AH-NA Marie Cox said "taint" while sitting three feet away from her. Methinks an MSNBC page will be hunting for dry ergonomic host chairs this evening, huzzah!
Adding: Mmmmmmm, "Cox."

I'm in a post-Simon Baker afterglow, Gyps. I don't want to ruin the moment.
Posted by: Kat at January 6, 2009 10:02 PM
Hey Joe I just explained swizzle sticks in your FB inbox.
They're drink stirrers, kids. ALL the kewl places used to have them. Perhaps I should post some?
Posted by: jane
at January 6, 2009 10:03 PM
You are on The List, sir. Which, of course, puts you in immediate jeopardy once the FBI goes CSI on my laptop and finds your name. Enjoy Guantanamo, bitches!
Also, did you read my little Phony Soldier diatribe on that thread? If you're For Real ex- or current military, I'm curious as to your opinion on those fuckholes in that picture. If you're not, then I don't give a shit about your opinion, suck it.

Joe, I watched some Dr. 90210 the other night while periodically covering my eyes and screaming "Ewwwwwwww." They knock these (paying!) dumbasses out and proceed to poke the living shit out of them with these 24" metal rods shoved all up their hoo-has.

Elvis,
Holy shit that made you more upset than me. To answer your question, Yes current, former, still serving, and combat veteran. I don't want to thread kill but those assholes in the picture were Air Force and by order of the Secretary of the Air Force they weren't allowed to go outside the Forward Operating Bases of Iraq to go play with IEDs. Therefore, they spent their entire 3 months in the desert making those signs and blowing each other in the rotten KBR showers.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 10:16 PM
Elvis,
Too follow up those assholes fall into the Cold War category.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 6, 2009 10:18 PM
Okay, Gypsy, fuck you for turning me on to this Primetime special about What Would You Do. I thought it was just going to piss me off, but now I'm blubbering like Lucy Ricardo at these people that stood up for the Latinos and threatened to take their business elsewhere if they weren't served. I'm obviously an emotional basketcase.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 10:18 PM
Wow, really Joe? I was thinking of placing a call tomorrow morning to Eglin AFB's PAO, maybe putting a bug in their ear over that photo. PR nightmare at the least, possible UCMJ violation at the worst. Either way, all six of those fucktards should be stripped of their ranks and sent to Leavenworth for all I give a shit. Or launched from a Stealth Bomber onto Ann Coulter's cock.
Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein at January 6, 2009 10:21 PM
Jnae, I'm NOT knocking Go Dog Go. It is merely a stopping place in some people's literary pursuits, which keeps them from reading Coulter's book, then Green Eggs and Ham, and Goodnight Moon (my personal favorite). And yes, I really am moving to China because it is fucked here and my wife is there and I am going to the warm southern part instead of the cold Pacific Northwest where we do have the best pot in the world. I'm sure you can get pot there, but being stoned in a totalitarian society (or Texas) is not the same as the West Coast of the USA.
There is a nasty little subculture of tweakers there who get their shit from Burma, but when they get caught they are never heard from again. Good beer, though, although last time I was there they were finding Mellamine in the Tsing Tao. It looks like those responsible for that little bit of evil will be joining the tweakers in the short line to the firing squad.

(I can't embed You-Are-Ells without being Filtered (bastardly bitching filters!) so here's the book I mean, if you give two shits: http://www.amazon.com/Abraham-Lincoln-Life-Michael-Burlingame/dp/0801889936
Considering that this is a two-volume set of 2,024 pages, I must get back to my reading or I may not finish this book before The Rapture and such as position flexible.

Elvis, pausing in the middle of all the fun to note you making jokes in the phony soldier thread about Tramadol.

Oh, QT, I only mentioned Tramadol because, using my Curiously Still Active Admin Priviledges here at GDAB, I was able to peruse the other comments that had been Filtered (bastardly bitching Filters!!) by Bob Cesca's Super Fun Time Filtorama Machine the way mine had and one of them was an ad for Tramadol. The rest was porn. I immediately followed those links, I can assure you. If Tramadol will help me enjoy said porn, maybe you can tell me all about it.

Bible thumper. Odd expression. Do people really do that? I wouldn't take offense at being called one, in any event, unless one actually meant "thumping" in the sense of desecration. Then I'd be offended.
No - not a bible thumper. And yes, I will try to break something whenever someone trashes anyone's religion. Honest - I'm equal opportunity on that one. Don't much like people trashing Islam either. Fairly religious, Joe, but I belong to a Faith that lends to being friends with people wherever I find them. Hope I'm still welcome in your eyes. :)

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Joe }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
I for the most part agree. I only believe that they don't HAVE to force us apart, and my own faith teaches that we ought to use religion to bring us all together.
Hah! Quote from my faith's scriptures:
If religion proves to be the source of hatred, enmity and contention, if it becomes the cause of warfare and strife and influences men to kill each other, its absence is preferable. For that which is productive of hatred amongst the people is rejected by God, and that which establishes fellowship is beloved and sanctioned by Him.(Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 298)

Theo, I am not an Army recruiter but please go to college. This recession will not be over for awhile and college will be a great place to hind until it ends. You can get so many grants and loans to go to college. Just make sure you claim yourself on your taxes this year if your parents can't afford to send you to college. The $1000 tax credit they will get for claiming you isn't shit compared to the $5000-$7000 grant(free money) you will get to go to college.
Jane, I agree that I may never stop talking about my hardware. I am kind of a child in that regard.(Maturity not body part)
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 7, 2009 2:12 AM
Theo, a lot of otherwise sane people have their birth years on the FB, or have mentioned it here. Who are you missing?

GI: Thanks for the concern, man. I'm going to culinary school, I've decided. Or I'll throw sanity and caution to the winds and go to UCB as an English major and write the great american novel. Well, the great russian novel.
Jane: Right, I thought of FB twelve seconds after I hit 'post.' Hm. I shall examine and post my results with next Mondays GDAB QOTW.

Good advice re taxes, Joe-of-the-childish-penis.

TH, unfortunately I did have cigarettes in high school and that is why I am still a smoker. So basically we have figured out that high school is the same as college. But, you don't have to show up to class and your parents won't get a phone call you will just fail and be out $3000.

Theo, watch out. Us old people don't like being reminded of our age.

I'm in independent study now, so I'm not sure how similar that would be to college. But high school, at least socially speaking, sounds ridiculously similar.

Also: CULINARY SCHOOL! You can write a novel with any goddamn degree. Don't waste your time being an English major unless you are already earning a living simultaneously.

Jane: Yeah, the age graph might be a bad idea.

Any job you ever work, for the rest of your life, will remind you of high school some or most of the time.
Take it to the fucking bank.

Heh, my mom said the same thing. Although she wants me to go into nursing.
But, god, do I love the Humanities.

Wait: stuff it in your mattress. It will be safer.

theo, I go to an awesome technology college with everything you just mentioned. I love the humanities as well. I am a business major and this semester I am taking four humanity classes. Basically, your major is only half the crappy classes you will take the other half can be humanities. What I am trying to say is go to a technical college and if you hate culinary/nursing you can major in history/art/underwaterbasketweaving.

All I'm driving at is if you're gonna stay in school after high school, get a job skill out of it. Being an English major may be a fucking blast but if you're ready to be out there in the real world (or need to be earning a living), don't do it. At least not full time.
I was a *cough* business major. It taught me less than nothing, but the experience of school in general is helpful. I could have majored in anthropology, psychology, fucking anything, and been just as well off. (I went all year round so I could finish in three years, so by the time I realized this it was too late to change majors and stay on schedule.)
P.S. Take every advanced placement test you can- they give you credits for that shit.

I've been hearing the underwater basket weaving joke all my life, and by now it's starting to sound pretty good.
Yeah, I've 99% decided on culinary school. And the one percent is just in case I decide to run off and live in Morocco.

Theo, don't put anything in a bank right now or ever for that matter. I have been buying ammunition with every paycheck just in case the earth floods or our economy collapses. I live with a lot of hillbillies in the high ground out here and I think I will want some dry real estate during the next great flood.

see jane we are cut from the same cloth. Non sleepers, non breeders(except that one time), liberals, business majors, distaste for the establishment and PTT thread killers.
LURKERS COME OUT I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING ME!!!!!
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 7, 2009 2:34 AM
Am I contradicting Joe? Maybe:
Yes, you can take whatever classes you like. (I was packing my schedule as tightly as I could.) And which degree you get means nothing unless you learn something from it.
Oh, and fuck typewad.

Hm. Lots of rather bizarre advice, here, guys, but that's the way I like it. And with that, I must sleep.

"Non sleepers"
Fuck. I just looked at the goddamn clock. Fuck.

Nite Theo.
And Joe, it's your fault. Goddamnit.
Has Lee posted any wackiness about group sex or artsy porn tonight?
(Spell check thinks God dammit is the proper way to say it.)

Theo go onto FB and look at everyone with college and see if they are doing anything close to what they went to school for. The answer is kind of. Bob was a poli sci major and he does get into politics but he makes a living from animation. My brother is a journalist major and he makes his living in the BOOB MINE. You see it is a great place to get started. This is coming from a guy that has taken 8 years to complete a bachelors. That is because I went to the army and thank god got a second chance to come back.
Education is the only investment that will be a guaranteed return on you money and more.

Checking for Lee porn and religious arguments at 0255 EST. I am drunk enough to donkeypunch him in his coin purse for starting shit.

I would pay good mattress money to watch that.
I think bed in about thirty minutes. (I rule at procrastination!)

You are a business major. College taught me how to me very efficient at being lazy.

I have spent the time from 0730 to now (1418?--I hate military time, I hate math) catching up with last night then having to take a break because the laughter makes me hurt. You guys keep my endorphins jumping but I wish I could work out my sleep/awake shit to coincide with the words actually coming off your fingers.
