Yes, Jane rocks.

less bombing of innocent civilians – excellent reminder for those less informed as to what gates’ policy has been.
Dugg, I think.
Digg it!
it worked – thanks for opening the digg drb
Less bombing of innocent civilians.
Yes, that’s a pretty good idea.
Duh!
DrBong I Dugg your Digg! Way to Go DrBong! And Who said using a Bong slows ya down??
Way to go Jane!!
Suz you are early! Did ya get drafted into this??
early is relative – and i volunteered
Great Nice work, Jane. Just curious. What’s the story with the video guests on Rachel’s show? Were you in the studio with her or were you remote?
“If we see a buildup in Afghanistan I think his anti-war supporters will begin to draw a line.”
Fuckin’ A ditty bag.
when in the studio, the guest appears across the desk from rachael. when ya see the guest on the tv screen on the set, its a remote.
Ya mean you raised your hand??
Way to go Suz. We people to server our Blog(:>))
sure, break out that e = mc2 shit.
More like F = MA
!
dirty boy, dirty dirty dirty!
forking equals massachusetts?
Why did Jane cut her hair?
It looked better long.
I love Jane on teeVEe, she listens to the interviewer, she answers the questions she’s asked, and she makes good cogent effective points and rebuttals on topic.
you come away smarter.
seems like connecticut is forked :(
Yeah Really! Nothing wrong with Taxachussettes… they did legalize pot didn’t they… that hasta count for something??
chemo cut it
Thanks for posting that, Suzanne. I enjoyed watching it again.
But The Spelling Police have asked me to inform you that Rachel only has one “a” in her name.
wash and wear!
no kidding – i loved rachael’s introduction about how firedoglake is the blog joe liarman loves to hate
bet the lying backstabbing forker googles himself every day
FORK… fixing it now
thanks
jup
refresh and fixed
sorry rachel
I really like her short hair – she looks about 15 years old.
I do so love to see intelligent, articulate, progressive women on tv. Go Jane! Go Rachel!
I’m movin there pronto!
Dam shit….make you sick also(:>(( Hope Katymine is resting well after her bout with Chemo..
Hmmm…if I remember correctly, I believe Rachel works out of a New York studio and I’m guessing Jane (and Jonathan Turley) were in a Washington DC area studio.
heh, it will always make me think of pedro grinning ear to ear :)
Just like a visit to the Lake does…! ;-)
How refreshing. Two intelligent and insightful commentators bringing new perspectives. A very stark contrast to the wax dipped ossified airheads that typically populate the corporate media.
lol!
*some how doubts teh google is that flattering to said ego*
Δs = v0 Δt + ½ a Δt2
!
Dirty old man.
I Dugg your Digg, DrBong
thanks for posting it
Dugg, thanks for the link.
ye gads man, ouch!
I missed the show, thanks Suzanne.
‘cept my super/sub scripts dint werk
I don’t like keeping Gates- but there may be an upside- when Obama says it’s time to leave (IF he does) if Gates agrees it will do a lot to convince goopers.
i wish i knew what that said – i don’t speak math
LOL I’m female
this really would be a good one to send to Digg heaven, don’t know if we have enough Diggers here to do it, though
this would be a great time to sign up and do your first Digg, those of you who haven’t…just click on the Digg button at the top of the page and follow the instructions
I prolly knew that at some point in the distant past. *g*
the more diggs, the more people will see the video
(tapping foot and waiting)
any word from Jane since the broadcast, Suzanne?
she should come on and take a bow!
Namaste SD !
rtm: http://www.w3.org/Math/
You mean Mika
((( Suz )))
Thanks for putting this up … now I won’t have to wait for the rerun …
Namaste, Pet
guess i should ave gone with the f; rtfm!
See ya in a coupla weeks
My anal side just can’t hep it!
;~P
Seconded.
Jane, your comments really hit the right chords. Thank you.
lol! nooooooooo!
well, ok, see ya soon!
I thought we were discussing the great job Jane did on the teevee. But if some geeks here like the math, I can show you this.
It is indeed very refreshing to watch two intelligent individuals discuss a subject without the spin, gotcha moments or any of that nonsense.
Hey pundits, yeah, you boneheads, pay attention or become obsolete.
Mika? She’s alright… I meant here at the Lake…! Btw, welcome to the Lake, I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting ya before…! ;-)
love the note at the bottom
Verizon gave that guy no end in grief over that.
Trying to catch my breath
ZOMG!!!111!!
lol!
ya welcome, Dahlink ;)
I Dugg it. I get such a kick out of seeing people who are smart and have great ideas on TV. ;)
(tapping foot and waiting)…
Alright already… No need to get petulant M’dear… *sheesh*
So, Leggy, besides welcome, are you new to the site, or just new to talking to us?
I’ve read there’s a lot of lurkers here, and I’m a real whatisgoingonwith people person.
Reminds me of one of the droids in a scene in Silent Running.
Good job Jane! We can live with Gates for a year, but Brennan would have been a cancer in the Obama administration.
It’s nice to ’see’ fresh faces here… Are ya a first time visitor or a long time lurker…? ;-)
only 11?
oh double crap – i completely forgot my manners
welcome to the lake leggyblogger – if ya have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask
I wuz # 12 …
Sorta new. I haven’t dropped a comment since the site moved to registration.
You’re asking me? I’m the 11th…! ;-)
Um, I think you owe me one. Of your choice.
welcome back then (amending my 78)
Da Nada!!
lol rach has same mouse as me :D
I think the verizon check was $.02 or two cents.
‘kay, and ’cause???
verizon had probably been dogging him for those two pennies
Correction, 0.2 cents, it has been a while since I computed that.
Yep, I guess so! An American Brewski? Petro, avert your eyes…! ;-)
It’s great seeing those I’ve come to know by their thinking and writing over the last several years now begin to appear on popular television shows.
Congrats again !
I’m getting prepared to be disappointed by Obama repeatedely, but the alternative would have been so much worse, I’d rather not fathom.
.
NOoooooooo …
Seems like Jane is on TV every time I switch it on. They might as well give her a show. The evening lineup is pretty full. How about bumping Scarborough and replacing him with Morning Jane?
There was a story in the corpse media about the feud between Mr Munroe and Verizon. Unfortunately all I remember is the check.
Ha. I was hoping for smokeable…I had a 2 1/2 hour LA sucks traffic jam ride home tonight. :(
Evening all. Busy evening I see.
It’s OK if it’s a microbrew or decent local beer.
Time for me to leap into my tree.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
Hmmm… I think I can scrap up a few roaches… It’s ‘Dry Season’ right now…! :-(
I’d digg that! I’ve quite using the term ‘jo’ for my beloved beverage :(
Night, SD. Sleep the sleep of the just.
I’d prefer bombing NO innocent civilians to bombing less innocent civilians.
I’m 62, and I’d swear, there is only one country in the world that has bombed innocent civilians somewhere on the planet, or provided the bombs and planes for somebody else to do it for our “interests”, every fucking single one of those years – the USA.
And I think Jane looks very cool with her hair like that. Very cool…
y0
MGD! I’m reduced to buying what’s on sale…!
Can a 64-ouncer still be considered “micro?”
Me too. I had to drop by and say I saw Jane on the Tee Vee.
You sounded and looked good, Jane.
Cable and broadcast TV is just so retro. Even Jane should have had more time tonite. Plus, most of those tee vee people only read the teleprompter and are just corporate lobbyists (excepting Keith and Rachel). But FDL Tee Vee might be a good idea.
Aloha, SD!
May the gods have mercy on your soul. I should talk, since I rarely drink at all anymore.
Um
‘ere!
;~P
less is a good start – but only a start
Here, take this pinner. Fix ya right up.
Certainly, when compared to a “pony” or a keg. 8-)
msnbc needs new commercials, the shouting selling stuff guy makes me ADD to another channel.
I’m sorry
we have a version of fdl – its called grit tv and is available at our sister blog
depends upon content
All y’all should look into how Gates has defied Cheney, kept USA from doing Iran, how he’s really been a voice of reason compared to the plans and plots of BushCo and how Gates has served the military in ways that was and is intent on not wasting soldiers or civilian’s lives in needless encounters abroad.
Cuz yer missin just a TAD.
Is he in the military? SURE! Is he warrior? YES!
But he’s not the evil incarnate. Point to issue and fact, he’s fought to keep this admin heeled on many fronts.
We are lucky, cuz of Gates, we haven’t done anything ELSE sick and stupid with Bush/Cheney at the helm.
Harumph.
fork… shudda said a version of fdl tv
Age seems to be robbing me of my vices. I spent the first 30 years acquiring as many as I could and seem to be spending the second 30 casting them off. Don’t think I will make it to sainthood by 60, however, only about 3 years left and I still hang on to a few.
So what did Rachel mean when she said that Netroots isn’t really a word?
she was GREAT!
WE NEED a “MORE JANE ON TV” PAC or something.
Mr. siri said he had NOOOOO IDEA she was so pretty.
typical male, not into politics but SHE got an attentive eye.
wow
it was huge to me in our house.
SALUDE!
Laura is another crown jewel…! ;-)
Thanks, hon. Since virtual is all I got, can get, I think it’s a hot licorice tea and a hot bath and book for me. No, the book’s not hot. Ha!
And, CT, thanks for the offer. You’re a doll.
I agree.
There are better candidates overall, but given what the new President has on his plate, Gates is very good for this task – he is not the devil.
He knows the field and the players, and he is a vast improvement over Rumsfeld.
*sheesh* Men, eh…? 8-)
Maybe I’ll learn in a few years…
Until then, vices ROOL!
;~P
I don’t drink anymore but back in the day, my coworkers and I used to have lunch at a local bar & grill that served imports and micro-brews. We’d each order a 64-ounce supermug. We could rationalize drinking during work hours because we were only having ONE beer… well, sometimes two. Tended to make the afternoons drag a little, though.
Very hot water, tea, and cherry brandy, girlfriend! Lemon.
You! It’s been so long, prolly a pinner would last a while.
Sleep well my dear.
((( siri )))
is that progressive?
Rawk on, Dood! ;-)
If the GritTV posts are supposed to contain streaming video, I don’t receive it. Using Firefox 3.0.4 on a Mac.
Baby steps
…and Jane ROCKS!
I am extremely fortunate to have made it through my undergraduate owing to my proclivity for a wide variety of intoxicants, both legal and illegal. Something to be said for being born with a phenomenal memory (which is something else that is not what it once was, but nothing is).
I guess we are back to that “relative” thing….
Progressively abstinent anyway.
(((Loo Hoo)))
are you pressing play? we don’t have it playing automatically since many of our readers are on dialup
It is amazing how much self-inflicted abuse we can withstand when we’re young.
i know.
i shoulda showed him a pic of Jane BEFORE the Dem convention and maybe wouldn’t have caught the flack i did for the 24/7 convention watch that went on here.
sheeeeeeesh!
I am living proof.
I don’t even get a vid window (for lack of a better term). As opposed to embedded youtube links and such, which work fine for me.
she was being a strict constructionist.
I tend to agree with a lot of “words,” but I believe netroots has evolved with a well-understood meaning and should be allowed to be uttered on TV.
;)
Ya, me too. Partly luck, plus we must have possessed an iota more self-control than our contemporaries who disembarked prematurely.
eek! i guess growing old ain’t for sissies.
In the GRIT box on the right side of the front page, click the “View Show” link. It comes up in a new window for me.
works great on a pc – perhaps one of our mac users can help ya – i don’t know macs :(
Yeah. I did not try to fly off any three story buildings.
Nope.
good on ya!
That worked for me. It’s the live broadcasts I don’t seem to get.
i see newton the mac user chimed in
thanks newton
I’ve had a lot more contemporaries who bought it on motorcycles, usually not their fault.

Our undergrad library had graffiti in one of the restrooms (circa 1979) that read, “Don’t drop acid, take it pass/fail.”
The grit tv is pretty ‘choppy’ on this pos. usually the little mini vid on main page work ok.
mac, schmac!
settle down now
Btw, neuro, tripto is short for tryptophan… One of the key ingrediants in Turkey that makes ya drowsy…! ;-)
Had one that did that. Spread himself and his chopped Harley over a quarter mile of Appalachian highway. Couple of car wrecks as well. Several overdoses and a couple of murders. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself that you are damned lucky to be alive.
Heh.
It’s funny, ain’t it, how dfh’s can be such elitists?
Probably not original, but it amused me at the time. The floor tiles had this amazing checkered pattern that shimmered and shifted, even when you were in an unaltered state… or at least, as best I could tell.
The Rachel rerun has Jane on now…!
I thought only elitists had macs
my bad
proud dfh
;~P
Actually pretty good for college restroom humor. Original to me anyway.
Pariahs too, thank-you very much.
thanks, CT. had forgotten I asked, but good to know! :)
You asked it at Tbogg’s, but nobody answered ya…! ;-)
LOL I remember now…I’ve known about tryptophan (sp?) through many a Thanksgiving nap, but did not recognize the “tripto” reference in that post…
thought it was maybe something along DrBong’s (or young DrDick’s) line…
That, too. I was, shall we say, “eclectic” in my youth. Damned few psychoactive substances that I did not try at least once.
still waiting for Jane to come on and take a bow…or did I miss it?
she may have gone home from the studio and gone to bed – its now 11pm on that coast
and by the way, I want to see some more Diggs of this post…I can hear Suzanne’s foot-tapping getting louder and louder…hey, if DrBong can post a Digg, there’s no reason any of you can’t Digg it…:) right, nahant?
fork – tolja i don’t do math.. midnight, not 11pm
yep, it’s 11 in KS…
Didn’t realize that you were in the great flat center.
Think I will head out. I have had a bad cold for the last few days, so I think I will call it an early night.
sleep well dr dick – hope your cold goes away soon
Aloha, Dr. D!
ian is a few flights up
Good point. I would add that the 2009 Pentagon budget is already approved and in the pipeline. The next military budget fight could kick up in May, but odds are it will be minor as there is no way Obama will have completed the program audit process by then. The last time there was a serious attempt to audit Defense was in 2002. The key finding then was nobody in the Pentagon could explain where more than a quarter of the money went. Maybe it was corruption, maybe we already have manned bases on the moon, or maybe it is those sneaky cleaning service workers.
Sorry, came home, tired, went to sleep.
Nothing glamorous. Gotta fly this am.
BO has to fix the economy. Our soldiers will need jobs when they get back home.
Our soldiers coming home sounds great. It will be good when they start talking seriously about that. Just before the holidays would be nice. I’d guess many soldiers are looking forward to Jan 20 as much as we are. Home Sweet Home Soldiers!
