You know, I was going to take the night off, but then this item from Crooks and Liars landed on my desk with a thud. Some things you just learn not to question. Call it Divine Provenance. Call it whatever you like, but apparently, I have been a very, very good boy this year.
It seems that someone on The Other Side may finally be cottoning to the fact that Michelle Malkin is, to put it mildly, not too swift. In what can only be seen as a cry for help, HotAir blogger Ian Schwartz made the following observation. (I am so not making this up. It's real. No, really.)
A Bill O'Reilly viewer wrote in asking if hosting his show was so easy that a caveman could do it, right?
Fig 1-A:
Ian poses the question, "How about a cavewoman?"
Fig 1-B:
"Heh"??!! Ian, have you lost your fucking mind?! She's your boss! You just admitted in front of Gawdamighty and All His Children that she's as much of a pinhead as we all think she is!
I mean, thank you, Ian. I'm kind of stunned here, I don't know what to say. You really shouldn't have. I mean…you really, really, really shouldn't have. I had no idea you felt this way about me. *sniff*
It must be a cry for help. A "Please rescue me!" note in a fortune cookie, "I am being held prisoner in fortune cookie factory in Akron, Ohio! Please notify the immigration authorities!"
That poor bastard. The tantrum Malkin pitched when Matt Sanchez's porno pics hit her in-box must have traumatized him. I guess he's shouldering his toy machine-gun and going over the wall, shouting, "Do you sons of bitches want to live forever?! Let's ROLL!"
I wonder if he'll have time to notice that none of his buddies followed him out of the pill-box before he gets mown down.
So, okay, are you still with me? It gets better. Malkin herself shows up in his comments section and starts busting heads:
I must be a cavewoman because I don't get the joke.
Michelle on March 9, 2007 at 2:08pm.
Aw, shit. It's on!
(But, listen, Michelle, that is the joke. That you're a couple teaspoons shy of a full set of silver. And a cake server. Okay, and all the forks. No one wants to admit it or talk about it to your face because they think you're so pretty and it would be a shame to hurt your feelings, but the truth is, given your unbroken 50-month record of utter failure on every topic to which you have turned your attention, it's pretty clear that your brain is running, like, Windows 94.)
Things only get more hilarious from there as La Malkin begins to play Whack-a-Mole with her readers.
I don't think that's going to work out well for her.
And certainly not for Ian.
Word has reached me, by the way, through my deep background super secret source that Malkin is fuming over this. Livid. Absolutely fucking furious, and she's saying that all the Lefty Blogs are going to start calling her "The Cavewoman". I think we can do better than that, don't you? I'm thinking "Wilma". How about you guys?
Please bring your best Ringo Starr and Quest for Fire jokes to the comment section. It's gonna be a long night. This one is a gift from god. Manna from Heaven. The ghost of Molly Ivins must be smiling down on us all.
Anybody wanna zug-zug?

Dude!
erm, TRex!
You know, if she wasn’t batshit insane, she’d be kinda cute…ew, sorry I said that.
TRex!
WIIIIILLLLMAAAAAA!!
Oh, and “Wilma” won’t work, I think.
Wilma ruled that show, and Michelle, well, she’d need Barney Rubble to edumicate her.
Wilmalkin?
I think she is more of a Bam-Bam.
She’s the newest Geico spokesperson.
Bless her heart.
-GSD
When I hear “cavewoman” I come up with this.
Michelle isn’t Raquel.
She’s in barney.
Malkin’s video won’t play for me and I SO want to see it.

Wilma it is! It’s much shorter than writing Our Lady of the Concentration Camps.
i vote for wilma.
and don’t you just love it when the piranas in the tank start snapping at each other — such a pretty sight, the moonbats howling and yapping while lashing out at the moonbat next to them. more popcorn, please, this is one show we do not want to miss. we’ve earned our front row seats over the past six years, and i for one am going to wear my 3d goggles and crank the soundtrack to 11 as the wingnuts get at each other’s throats…

Now that’s funny!
‘Course, lots of entertainment types were smoking reefer back in the ’50s

It wouldn’t surprise you that I’ve already seen it, right?
thingwarbler @ 17
Who needs cable, anyway?
The far right just doesn’t realize how outlandish they have become.
We’re talking beyond self-parody. It is finally dawning on them that they have lossed some serious face.

Is it your birthday? ‘Cos this is a gift….
Eli @ 19
Nope.
OK, but she’s still not today’s Worst Cave-Person in the World.
I don’t care who KO picked. Today’s Worst Cave-Person in the World is Skip Bertman, the athletic director at LSU.
Now, let’s be clear about one thing. If Dana Chatman had a sexual relationship with one of her players, she has to be gone from the coaching profession; I think that should be obvious to anyone with a lick of sense.
But Bertman’s Neanderthal attitude, and the actions of the LSU administration, have made an already bad situation much, much worse than it ever had to be.
P.S. Wilma.
As it appears she has rocks in her head, maybe we should call her Pebbles.
IANAUNCL, but Jurassic’in for it.
Would it be sexist to call Wilma Malkin a yabba-dabba-douchebag?

TRex @ 27
Hey T,
I spoke with your brother today, we discussed his impending career change.
I’m excited for him.
But we all know that in spite of her becoming completely and deliciously unhinged and lashing out furiously at the few remaining loyal cheeto-stained soldiers at her side, Wilma will nevertheless remain a fixture on the teevee — not just Pox News, but probably the occasional MSM show, too. I could see Glenn Beck getting all steamy at the thought of having the cavewoman on his show on CNN. What exactly would it take for them all to realize that she’s got the intelligence and analytical capability of scrod?
What impending career change?
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched another verbal assault on
President Bush Friday as he led some 20,000 supporters in an anti-American rally, calling the U.S. leader a “political cadaver” and blasting his policies as “imperialist.”
Hugo hearts Chimpy.

You know, it’s funny how you can hang out with someone and you talk about everything in the world and completely neglect to mention something like that. We had lunch together today, but all we talked about was the Libby trial and music.
This is the best part:
Hey you kids! Get off of my yard!
Peterr @ 36
Just a very little bit. Maybe an eye.
TRex @ 36
Well, the Libby trial and music are pretty damned important.

TRex!! Oh man! *still laughing here*
Somebody cue up the music to “Troglodyte” (oh God PLEASE let somebody else here be old enough to remember that because it CRACKED ME UP when I was a kid!)
BTW, I heard the Geiko Cavemen are going to get their own TV series. Maybe Malkin can do a guest shot. She can play a totally clueless cavewoman.
Oh wait…

I’m thinking of the commercial they did a while back with the woman swinging the gecko around and mouthing I love you to him. I had this mental picture of her telling him “would you hold still” while trying to roll the rubber over his head.

Ha! Bush is a “political cadaver”. I love it!
Maybe Wilmalkin could be a Glamazon Huntress.

KOS has a really good update on the Fox flap. Fox has seriously stepped in it…..seriously.
The nation is looking really askance at all things Bush and Republican and the Democrats are letting people know that the network is in the tank for them and only them.
Fox is looking at a 30% and falling demographic as of late.
-GSD
Also John A at Americablog has that sad sack Matt Sanchez spinning horribly twisted falsehoods about his penis’ career.
Fox is Aileing?
zig alert
TRex @ 63
Well, take it back outside!
But have you seen the traffic? Something bad might happen.
You guys did hear about those guys doing the Caveman Geico commercials getting a sitcom gig didn’t you? *blinks*
I thought that was funny, in a weird yet slightly off kinda way. Because a sitcom could pretty much sink them, if it backfires. (and so many of them do)
Eli @ 66
Just some ill Hume-rs. A few leeches, and they’ll be better than ever.
I’ll know that Fox is truly dead the day we go to have breakfast at the VFW with my father in law and tv at the bar is tuned to another channel.
(It’s really hard to keep anything down with that on…you get the “purge” thing without the “binge”)

Brad Delp? Don’t make me google.
KestrelBrighteyes @ 75
You probably wouldn’t like the poster, then.
The Caveman sitcom is, alas, being done over at ABC – always banned company. Too bad – might have even been funny but I don’t watch anything ABC or Disney.
You know why Bush aint pulling himself out of the muck anytime soon?
Cause his base is getting sick and tired of carrying his water.
From Al-Jazeera:
N Korea demands US lift sanctions
North Korea’s top nuclear negotiator has said that the US must lift sanctions before it moves to shut down its nuclear reactor.
“The US promised to resolve the problem of sanctions against our country within 30 days,” Kim Kye-gwan said.
The neo-cons said Bush won’t take no crap from no tinhorn dictator!
-GSD
KestrelBrighteyes @ 71
Yeah, but you know, the Dems bailing on Fox is a huge blow to Fox’s credibility. I think Coulter’s “Macaca Moment” may in fact be spreading to the whole Right Wing message machine. The virus has penetrated their systems and is exploiting the vulnerabilities in their defense mainframe!
Yee haw!! Burn, bitchez!! BURRRRRN!!!!

Wow. 55 is too young.
He had a powerhouse voice, too, as I recall. I was never crazy about their music, but as I recall, he could really belt it.
KestrelBrighteyes @ 75
Does the fact that the ad agency is trying to shop a King movie seriously mean that they expect this could do box office–like as in, those commercials actually got people
into the restaurants? ‘Cause you’re right. I could imagine Paul Reubens and the King going to see a flick together.
TRex @ 82
The Republican right is beginning to finally really look like a bunch of total freakazoids. They have started to scare people with their creepyiness. They should make the Burger King their Party mascot.

Aw hell. That was one of the soundtracks to my senior year in high school. Fond memories of having the stereo blaring while my friends and I.. um..well it WAS the 70’s.

I actually sang “Piece Of Mind” in a cover band I was in. Frankly I was much more comfortable with the guitar parts.
Interesting band, some dopey music, some good music, but the guy could sing.
I always thought he would go on to something else, but no, not really.

EvilDrPuma @ 105
Watch the zugs.
Here’s a chunk of the Edwards campaign e-mail regarding Fox in the Henhouse News:
Fox has already started striking back at John for saying no. (There’s a surprise—Fox attacking a Democrat.) Last night, Roger Ailes—the life-long Republican operative who is now Chairman of Fox News Channel—said that any candidate “who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake” and “runs a real risk of losing the voters.”
And John’s not their only target. Tonight Fox News Vice President David Rhodes is telling news organizations not to get involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus because of “radical fringe” groups—meaning grassroots Democrats (that would be you)—who objected to Fox’s long history of spreading Republican propaganda at the expense of Democratic leaders.
Bang, pow.
-GSD
TRex, YGM
I really, really like the thought that Coulter is about to bring down the whole RW Noise Apparatus around her. It would be sort of karmically just, I think.
TRex @

Last I heard, the election board couldn’t find anyone in law enforcement to carry the investigation forward. But, more bad behavior on her part might change the minds of some in West Palm.

Not yet – however, I do plan to blame any nightmares I have regarding soul-sucking evil creatures, OR lampreys, on YOU and your post.

Uh, getting some very bad mental images here… and they’ve got nothing to do with the Flying Nun.
Alright, I give up, the champagne is kicking in and I’m heading to bed.

When I described her as “a bottomless well of evil”, I never meant it quite that way.
She’s the Right Wing Courtney Love. The GOP’s own Tonya Harding.
The Dems pull out of the Fox debate:
In a joint letter faxed today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Tom Collins, the head of the Nevada Democratic Party, informed Fox News executive producer Marty Ryan of the decision.
“A month ago, the Nevada Democratic Party entered into a good faith agreement with FOX News to co-sponsor a presidential debate in August,” Reid and Collins said in the letter. “This was done because the Nevada Democratic Party is reaching out to new voters and we strongly believe that a Democrat will not win Nevada unless we find new ways to talk to new people. To say the least, this was not a popular decision. But it is one that the Democratic Party stood by.”
“However, comments made last night by FOX News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far,” the letter went on. “We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments. In light of his comments, we have concluded that it is not possible to hold a Presidential debate that will focus on our candidates and are therefore canceling our August debate. We take no pleasure in this, but it is the only course of action.”
KestrelBrighteyes @ 125
Use a nightlight and put Malkin’s head in front of the closet. If anything comes out the rattle will wake you up.
“However, comments made last night by FOX News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far,’’ the letter went on. “We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments.”
Roger, you are the head of a news outlet, you are not campaigning against Mike Dukakis anymore.

TRex @ 136
True, but it gives me the opportunity to ask: the flap (oh, shit, there’s that word agin) came because Ailes (the bad one) was getting an award. For what? Fox News is tanking slowly, like an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz that’s hit a mine, and Ailes is at the helm, shrieking like the captain of the Titanic, “I’m gonna MOVE YOU, BAAAAAABYYYYY!”

Musharraff sacks top judge:
“Recent rulings by Chaudhry may have irked the government.
Last June, the Supreme Court rejected a government move to sell 75 per cent of state-owned Pakistan Steel Mills to a Saudi-Russian-Pakistani consortium for $362 million. Mill workers claimed it was greatly undervalued.
Also, Chaudhry has heard a landmark case brought by relatives of dozens of people believed taken into secret custody by Pakistani intelligence agencies. The chief justice has pressed the government to provide information on the detainees whereabouts.”
Should be calling him Busharraff.

Melanie Morgan and Move America Forward got ALL the TV stations to cover their Cindy Sheen Stalking Posse (It’s “You don’t speak for me Cindy” ReDucks! This time with the support of the NRA!
Morgan whipped up the outrage and used people’s anger at the President toward peace activists, all so she can sell more Sleep Train Mattresses, McDonald’s burgers and Burger King Whoppers.
I outlined the steps they take to do this, and Michelle Malkin is Step #4
You can read the rest here if you want.
(god I’m a crappy blogwhore.)
We could just call her “Lucy” after the famous cavewoman discovery, prompting Leaky’s fitting declaration:
“According to Richard Leakey, who along with Johanson is probably the best-known fossil anthropologist in the world, Lucy’s skull is so incomplete that most of it is “imagination made of Plaster of Paris.”"
Is there a better description of Malkin?
Then again, you could dub her what the Great Gazoo called Fred:
“Dum, Dum.”
TeddySanFran @ 180
Well, clearly it was supposed to be a joke. How on earth does he think that update is going to help his case at all?
Conservatives and comedy. It’s a deadly, dangerous game. Someone always loses.
Oh yeah, one more new meme before I cut out.
The missing Jose Padilla interrogation tapes are Bush’s equivalent of the Clinton’s missing “Rose Law Firm Notes”.
Remember how the rightwing beat that into the ground.

Alright, gang, I am off to bed. Everybody write at least one letter to a newspaper that carries Ann Coulter tomorrow.
Sleep well.
Good night!

He may be an autocrat, but it’s better than the most likely alternative, a radical islamist state with the bomb.
When the wingnuts/freepers show up to snarl and grunt just point them
wayback to this.(slightly scroll down, one graphic was removed but was in the original google search)
JGabriel @ 186
It is called getting out in front of a bad story. Now he can’t be hit with new charges 3 months before the election.
This is a sign that he’s putting the story out there and then can claim “It’s old hat sister” when someone tries to club him with it. It is seen as a sign that he is seriously considering running.

Isn’t the Coulter caveat “You can’t kill the undead”?

Coulter and Malkin. Two-Hun-Dirt?
“200″ is the story of a dedicated band of comments desperately fighting to hold off a horde of other comments bent on destruction and domination.
JGabriel @

Newt’s entering the race in September. Six months greatly exceeds the wingnut attention span. Besides, he gets absolution (or whatever the Xtianists call it) by admitting the “sin” on Dobson’s radio network.
PS: BONUS!! They got to say “Monica Lewinsky” on the air today.
Patrick 4/4 @ 202
Claude, oh, Claude Rains, it’s time for your close-up at the airport…. :)

It seems to be working.
You know the Republicans are in deep shit when they are looking to Newt Gingrich to save them.
He’s as likeable as Dr. Smith from Lost in Space.

TeddySanFran @ 203
I ain’t satisfied until I see the mascara running down his cheeks
;>)
“Prepare for bedtime!”
Hey Teddy – Monica Lewinsky was huge for them
And Gingrich says: “I only lied to my wife; not the grand jury”
Helen @ 210
And the ethics committee, but they don’t count….
Helen @ 209
Big enough that Dobson was willing to have Newtie admit to “an affair” in order to bring her up today. By the way, was the word “adultery” used in Dobson’s broadcast? Because that’s what it was, right?
Newt used the Dobson radio show so that no one could see the shit-eating grin on his face as he ‘confessed’.
I’m with db – I want to see that mascara running.
If you write the papers you can use these disgusting Coulter quotes to help drive how sick she is.)
Ann Coulter and Melanie Morgan joking about killing a news paper editor, Bill Keller
Ann Coulter joking about dead UN Peacekeepers from Canada
On ABC Radio/Disney station KSFO 560 AM in SF on July 27th 2006 Ann Coulter was talking to Lee Rodgers, Melanie Morgan and Tom Benner (whose pseudonym is “Officer Vic”) about the bombing in Southern Lebanon. The first person talking is Lee Rodgers.
Ann Coulter: “On the bright side we hit a couple of UN peacekeepers.”
Melanie Morgan: laughs
Officer Vic: “Look at those blue helmets go flyin’”
Coulter: “Somebody has to tell Israel about the installation on 42nd street.”
Laughter
Please LISTEN to the actual audio.
(WMA Audio link 1.01 clip, comment at 45 sec)
Do the these names mean anything to you?
Lieutenant Colonel Du Zhaoyu, Jinan, People’s Republic of China
Lieutenant-Commander Jarno Mkinen, Kaarina, Finland.
Major Paeta Derek Hess-von Kruedener, Canada
Major Hans-Peter Lang, Styria, Austria
They had wives, ex-wives, former girlfriends or boyfriends, parents and children. They were trying to do an important job. Maybe they were idealists, maybe they were cynical realists, but they were far from home on a stated mission of fostering and maintaining peace around the world.
They were all part of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in South Lebanon whose lives were tragically cut short on July 25.
Ann Coulter, Melanie Morgan and Tom Benner found their death HILARIOUS.
montag @ 211
An ethics committee? There’s an ethics committee? GET OUT!!
Helen, you funny.
GSD @ 198
Yes, I know. But Newt can’t write it off as a mistake he regrets — he’s married to the woman he was cheating with!
This is just incredibly tone-deaf. The Christian base is not gonna buy it. It looks more like he’s slagging his wife than expressing contrition over the affair.
Gingrich would have been better off saying nothing.
Which of course makes it all hilarious.
Helen @ 215
In name only… just for show, these days. Mere formality. The peasants seem to like it. Here’s some bread, and a ticket to the circus.
TeddySanFran @ 216
I laugh because the only alternative is to cry
GSD @ 206
Hey! I LIKED Dr Smith in the Lost in Space tv show reruns as a kidlet. Then again, i’m the weirdo girl that likes anti heroes and selfish bastards. *shrugs and grins* I just don’t like them in real life because they do way too much damage. But fictional ones? LOVE. XD
Speaking of the ethics committee, Digby has some interesting backstory on Newt and the impeachment.

“Oh, the pain, the pain!”
Great analogy. I loathe him with every fiber of my being. He actually thinks the country will rise up and demand that he be president! After slinking off ignominiously when his plans turned to crap. He is one of the most delusional, hypocritical, amoral people I have ever seen in public life.
He, more that anyone else, is responsible for turning the ‘loyal opposition’ into the enemy. Just what we need – a President who has declared Democrats the enemy. If he ever weasels into office I will leave the country.
Helen @ 210
Wow, just wow.
Repeated fornication outside the marriage…On an office desk, was it not?

A self-admitted desk f*cker, db, according to this piece over at Gilly’s place:

6000 years is a bazillion, isn’t it? (Sorry, but I don’t know wingnut math. After seven semesters of algebra, trig, solid geometry and calculus, I flunked Genesistology.)

Raises woozy head…
A … PROUD desk f*cker?!?
‘Even the salts can’t save me’

Her sycophantic little commenters are all a-flutter, calling Ian out and wondering how he’ll get along without a job. None of them have called for Michelle to fire him, but they are letting her know they don’t think Ian’s “joke” was funny at all, although they aren’t part of the “I’m offended” police.
Nobody talks bad about our anchorbaby!

Wingnut math = there is no due date. Your grandchildren will pay – (Not mine – there is no tax on inhereted wealth)
Banging somebody on his desk… not unlike Foley sending lewd text messages to young men during Congressional votes.
Of course, we know how Newt played the same hypocritical dance when it came to Foley.
Ooh, check this out.

And what will happen? I have a plan – do you?

I think they have, Helen. I’m off to bed myself. G’nite all.
Malkin takes Ian back to the cave for a little disciplinary session.Cavewoman disciplines errant male.
GSD @

I think your passing over a real gem here. She is not Wilma or Betty or any other character from the Flintstones – she is the essence of all prehistoric thinking. Yabba Dabba Doo really works for me. I encourage everyone to refer to her as such. Employ Yabba Dabba Malkin if you must while writing… for the sake of clarity, but for those who know where she will be – or can reach her at one of her appearances, I think the incessant call of Yabba Dabba Doo could be just the thing to puncture that balloon. Nothing saps pseudo-intellectual credibility like infantilization.
(Sorry corrected link)happy monkey @ 243
Try it now.
Off thread but important:
From The Writer’s Almanac:
It was on this day in 1933 that newly inaugurated President Franklin D.
Roosevelt called a special session of Congress and began the first hundred
days of enacting his New Deal legislation.
It was the Great Depression. A quarter of the American workforce was
unemployed. The prices for industrial goods and agricultural products were
falling. There were breadlines in every major city for all the unemployed
and hungry. Thousands of people roamed the country on freight trains looking
for odd jobs and handouts. Banks were failing at an unprecedented rate, and
millions of Americans had lost all or part of their savings.
So people were shocked by Roosevelt’s cheerful demeanor when they saw him
just before his inauguration. He was facing one of the most difficult
domestic situations in the country’s history, but he seemed excited about it
At his first press conference, on March 8, 1933, the reporters were
surprised that the new president actually talked to them. Almost all
previous presidents had refused to talk off the cuff with reporters, but
Franklin Roosevelt didn’t mind answering all kinds of questions about what
he planned to do for the country’s problems.
And then on this day in 1933 he called Congress into session. He had
Democratic majorities in both houses. The first piece of legislation the
President proposed was the Emergency Banking Act. Even though no one had a
chance to examine it in detail, the bill passed after forty minutes of
debate. For the next few months, bills were passed almost daily. Among the
new federal programs created were the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration, which distributed half a billion dollars to the poor; the
Civilian Conservation Corps, which employed people to work on forestry
projects; the Public Works Administration, which employed people to build
bridges, dams and roads all across the country; the Tennessee Valley
Authority, which built and maintained dams on the Tennessee River,
controlling flooding and providing cheap energy; and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, which provided for the first insurance of banking
deposits.

“In Savannah.”
Of course, my bad :)
It’s Saturday. I hope she’s sleeping in. It’s OK, Marion, we’ll make breakfast today. You just sleep as long as you like, everthing will be ready when youever get up. (goes to make coffee, etc.)
‘Morning, FirePups!
Wonder if looseheadprop will drop in this morning…want to let her know I think we are seeing some real movement in the right direction.
I have to drop off to attend my kid’s orchestra competition this morning; if somebody see looseheadprop, please let her know I was looking for her. Thanks!

Hi, twolf -
Are ya listening to some of the wingers on Washington Journal this lovely mornin’? Just amazing some of these people have enough brain cells to be able to dial a phone ;-(
Waccamaw – I just put C-Span on. Some mornings, the callers seem to be having an ignorance contest.
twolf1 @ 258
Why yes, thank you, I am. I should not post before I put my lenses in.
Good morning, pups. Today in the NYT it’s Judith Warner on the death of Cinderella and Rory Stewart on politics lite. My favorite Stewart line? “Winston Churchill has been replaced by Bertie Wooster.”

Jeeeeeez……seems like every morning ya think “they *can’t* get any more ignorant”……….. but the stupidity quota keeps going up and up, without fail.
I have some Mango Berry Bran muffins from Trader Joes warmin in the oven.
I would bake something myself, but it’s too early.
Another night sleeping, not, on a mattress from hell. Time for a new one but choosing a car is a snap compared to finding the right mattress. I can’t imagine what kind of mattress hunt experience the 60ft Trex has had.
What ever happened to mattresses that you flipped once or twice a year?
Who thought up mattresses 3 feet thick that you need a stepladder to climb into? The princess with the pea?
Foam mattresses that remind me of gym mats?
Sleep numbers?
It’s just so confusing.
Then you need to allow time for several trips to spend that minimum 15 minutes tryout time per mattress.
Mattress shopping is not fun, not fun at all.
Well, first, they’d have to develop intelligence and analytical ability superior to scrod themselves. How likely is that?

Hate to break the news to ya, darlin’ but just wait ’til you try to find a fitted bottom sheet that actually *fits* one of those 3 foot thick suckers! This is experience talking……….if you’re a fan of four letter words, your vocabulary is gonna get a real workout. And…..do . not . trust the labeling that tells you, “This will fit a mattress X inches deep.” Good luck!
Thanks Marion,
You know, half the NYT ‘progressive’ editorials make the right points with the wrong arguments. A more sophisticated straw man.
The Cinderella story ties the growing disparity in wealth, a real problem, with two income professional families, which account for a trivial portion of the wealthy class pulling away from the gate.
MoDo and her Barock/Hillary obsession is another.
According to current gooper caller on CSpan, the Clinton’s and the Dems have sold their souls to hell. She knows the Clintons and they have sold their souls. She has 100% confidence in Bush and loves him, she also backs Cheney.
Oh, too true, Waccamaw… The sheets I have that don’t fit, or that fit like a 36D bust wearing a 34B bra… Grrrr….
new thread upstairs…
I already thought of the bottom sheet problem but quickly deleted it. My head is hurting enough as it is.
It’s a plot. Come out with a product new & “improved” that means you must dump your old stuff which adds to the landfills while corps add $ to their coffers.
I still think “lamprey” or “hagfish” is a better descriptive term for MM:
“Any of various primitive, eel-shaped marine fishes of the family Myxinidae, having a jawless sucking mouth equipped with rasping teeth with which they bore into and feed on other fishes.”
Have you ever seen a photo? Looks just like her.

no, please not wilma or betty. both of those gals were super nice, super hot bedrock women.
i like the idea of yabba dabba malkin, though. she’s more like fred than any of the others from bedrock. he was dumb, conniving … but he had a soft heart, so even fred is too good a moniker for her.
but, seriously, don’t knock wilma or betty. and seriously, its a smear to those characters to nickname malkin with one of those names.
makes you look like you don’t like sexy girls. i mean, i know you are gay, but all girls aren’t malkin.
I vote for Pebbles!
I have no interest in Malkin, but it’s intriguing that the Post believes plagiarism is bad, while hate speech and continual lying are fine. Go figure.
Even during the Vietnam war, when the media uncritically echoed zillions of lies from the executive branch, mainstream editorialists did not lionize purveyors of hate such as George Wallace or, say, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society.
