Kwatz!

Too much to comment on, I am in sensory overload.

TDS doing a piece on this right now.

Jane’s not in this video. What, these people think the Lake is chopped liver? Look out, motherfuckers, we’re comin’!

Mmm hmm. Well, Republicans, you may remember the 1968 election, where Nixon decided he could get into office easy by pandering to all those Dixiecrats who felt alienated by the civil rights act. He did, and the GOP has been home sweet home for America’s racist right wing ever since. You wanted to come to the cotillion, now dance with the one you came with.

now dance with the one you came with what brung ya.

Fixed it for ya.

Hey watertiger. Between the birthers, the deathers, the teabaggers & the racists, it’s quite a crew they’ve assembled.

Either way. It’s too late now to complain about the stringy hair and the buck teeth.

Seriously, though, you’re quite right.

Molly would be proud!

‘Specially if she’s showin’.

I cain’t hep it. Y’all can take the boy outta the South but…

Pretty ugly bunch, especially in their souls (if they actually have any souls).

If they had souls, would they be repiglicans?

They ain’t necessarily four different groups, either…

I see their inner selves as a bottomless container, almost like a dark hole, with the singularity sucking in everything around it, but nourishing nothing but desire and bitterness.

Gee, you make them sound like music executives.

Sounds like Bushies to me!

Their true colors are showing. I knew they could not maintain the pretense when confronted with a black man in power.

Good evening, all. Hi, Betsy. How are you? Haven’t been here the same time as you in a long while.

WT, I noticed the video didn’t feature Dick Cheney, didn’t he even say on TV he was going to work on the dark side? Kinda the same as the shadows, isn’t it?

Or any other kind of executives.

She isn’t brown.

They’re living their worst nightmare. “Live and in living colour,” as NBC said when it first went to colour.

I am doing well. Lots of swimming & blogging. You?

Watertiger !

I hope Crowley cuffs that Illegal Alien and spirits him back to Kenya !

Dobbsy would cry s’more white hooded tears of joy ( great line BTW )

Betsy !

I hope you didn’t get water on the Laptop … *g*

And he refuses to play to their stereotypes. That really pisses them off.

Soros! Notice how his name is a mysterious anagram also.

Well, this is One Of Those Threads, is it?
Where’s Raven?

Nope. Have a chair off to the side of the pool.

Been fine. Doing lots of yard work this summer, planting drought-tolerant grass in the backyard after we killed the old water-thirsty grass. Planting less backyard in grass and doing more in native plants.

Palindromic even.

Oops…that’s what I meant…Nice catch.

Now let’s compare what Soros runs to what Rupert Murdoch runs.

The Murdoch media empire.

Known a couple in my day.

(I’m late to last night’s discussion of AbFab)
Another show that;s seriously funny is Red Dwarf. Has anyone seen that?

Elmore was sitting down stairs trying to ignore faux news this weekend at mayo hosp. it came to his attention that every time they talked about Bush, it was Mr President this and that…… But when they talked about Obama it was strictly Mr. Obama. Can you imagine someone in the media getting away with that?

Sometimes I hang around for three or four of my comments to be ignored.

(((katymine!)))

(((demi!)))

It’s been too long for me. God damn, that show is funny.

Now who could ignore you, my dear? Perhaps they are all just too shy to say hello. 8-)

both backwards and forward it comes out Soros.

Red Dwarf was good. I’ve seen all the episodes too many times and a bit or the lustre has worn off. I love (but have also overwatched) Fawlty Towers and Blackadder. It took a long time for me to catch the bug but I’m currently enamored with Last of the Summer Wine. There are still about 5 or the 30 seasons I have yet to see.

I’m really not surprised. Faux News (We distort. You recite.) is far more interested in partisan mean-spiritedness than it is in class.

Did you bring any dessert?

I really should borrow some Blackadder from the library again. It’s been a couple of years.

Ah, knew I’d find something on Charlie if I looked hard enough. Scroll down to the pic of the guys in the pool. 2nd from left is Charlie Minor. He was killed in his house in Malibu but when I knew him in the mid-70s he was living in LA and we (Hippie Dippie Pool Man) cleaned his pool. Boy, do I have some stories about that place. My partner and I would go to his office at A&M and his secretary would have 2 stacks of every A&M release since our last visit. Turned us on to Shawn Phillips. Cool dude but had this thing for the ladies.

i’d love to collect both shows’ DVDs but they’re expensive!!

I’m so depressed.

I know, I meant to write palindrome and instead wrote anagram.

Sleeping while blogging.

;>)

I didn’t understand this comment, but I’ll say Hi all the same.

((((((((katymine)))))))))

How could I possibly argue with the social anthropologist here?
You’re a doll. Mean it. !!
And, thank you.

i’ll have to look into Blackadder and Summer Wine. Nothing on American TV.

Babycakes! Why?

I’ve noticed the Brits are more likely to call it quits before the audience falls off. In the U.S. they drive everything into the ground. Blackadder was a perfect example. Fout short but excellent series and we’re outta here.

British shows tend to cost you more in my experience. I’d be collecting Doctor Who a lot faster if it wasn’t for the price.

It’s too early, but, I have a fabulous tuna Caesar Salad, if you’d like.
(PS..there is some low fat Orange Sherbert Chocolate Chip with your name on it, if you’d like. Dear.)

Ya haven’t said anything yet.

Marvin the Neurotic Android?

Oy, no double-fudge brownies with chocolate icing?

Gadzooks! 30 seasons!

Yep. I was really hooked on Blackadder then boink, all gone.

The behavior is moving to a different level. Used to be, if a politician was exposed for corruption, immorality, etc, they used to resign. Now, if you’re just ‘average’ corrupt, you get to stay in the club. You have to be extrememly corrupt to get asked to leave. If you’re only moderately perverted, you get to stick around. You don’t get shunned unless you’re shown to be extremely perverted. If you lean towards the sadistic side, the club ignores it. You have to be extremely sadistic before anyone raises an eyebrow. And on and on.

Look at Dr Who. Been on for how long, since the Civil War or something?

No talking about chocolate! i’m trying to lose weight in the next day or two – i may have a job interview!!1

**snort**

It amazing, many of the actors and the characters they play have grown old and passed away while doing the series. Two of the main actors are now 88. They are limited to indoor scenes because the producer says it has become prohibitively expensive to insure actors over 80 to work outdoors.

The British Civil War.

Seems like it is one of those threads.

When the kids were young, i took them to see the Dr. Who exhibit with all the monsters. Seriously corny but the younger was frightened!

I had a couple strawberries left. Put a little chocolate on ‘em. Ummmmmm.

Shorter series (6 or 13 episodes) seem to pay off well in quality terms. British comedies especially just end up far, far superior to American sitcoms.

Only way to lose a lot of weight in two days involves a saw. I don’t recommend it. At least have some chocolate after the interview.

I actually discovered that you can make sugar-free pudding using low-fat soy milk. You just have to use less. If it calls for three cups of milk, use 2 1/2 of soy milk and it works fine. Good guilt-free chocolate fix.

You didn’t see comment #39? I thought you got your glasses fixed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA! i picked a cucumber, diced it and spooned vanilla yoghurt over it! Wished i had some dill.

Maybe cuz they’re actually, like, you know, funny?

To be fair, unlike the U.S., they are less likely to export their garbage.

I have yet to see it, and I’ve heard it’s really good.

garlic and chocolate – but not together.

Maybe tomorrow night. Just eat the chocolate chips out of what I offered.
Sweetie. :)

Time for me to toddle off. Take care all.

Yah….:) ha ha ha.

All this is available at the googleplex so we are still on-topic.

Thanks, okay to dip the chips in chocolate?

Fortunately, I spend a lot more time thinking about chocolate than actually eating it.

G’nite. I should head out too. Splendid evening to all.

Night night, Dr. Dick.

oooo, started to rain. must let cat in.

Or did you mean I didn’t say anything mentioning Cats?

You can double dip them if you like.
(((Rat!!)))

It is. I actually like the first series better than some commenters I’ve seen (it riffs hysterically on Shakespeare), but none of it is bad.

TeeVee update= Rachel on Conan tonight, so to speak.

They were finding their way a bit at the start but by the middle of the first series they were going strong. I like them all. Hugh Laurie was great in the third and fourth series.

We loved the Johnson dictionary/Boswell show. He threw it into the fire, as I recall (years ago!).

Enjoying an Eskimopie ‘Chocolate Crunch’ bar at this moment. Mrs. pastfedup was good enough to stock up the deep freeze. Mmmm.

Cat is in, time to call it a day. *day*

No, you don’t have to say something about cats to get my attention. *g*

i didn’t read that because i’m already upstairs.

Way past my bedtime, too.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Good nite, SD.

Good night to the cats and their companions.

Day! Me too.
Night!

In the old days of Life magazine there was a pic at the end entitled Parting Shots. If you haven’t seen this vid yet it’ll warm your heart (unless you’re a Rethug).

Pleasant and peaceful dreams to you, SD.

Longtime sports reporter for the Manchester(NH) Union Leader arrested for running a prostitution ring.

The Union Leader is very conservative….

Noose & squirrel!

Rocky and Bullwinkel reference? They were a favorite back in my early teens.

Two words: Jimmy Fallon.

Conan her, with Shatner reciting Sarah Palin twitters. Hilarious.

Conan ‘here.’

Rachel Maddow coming up soon on Conan. That’s why I tuned in, usually watch Letterman.

Hey, I’m with you! That was hilarious.

(((katy!)))

NPR had a hard time stopping the Mr Obama thing. Ombud said it was their style: call him President Obama once, thereafter Mr Obama.

Now seems they more often in the second reference call him the President.

Ooh – that’s good enough to delurk briefly before heading off to bed. Having lived in Boston in the 1970’s when the Union-Leader was the Faux News of its day – another little bit of schadenfreude.

Made me chuckle too.

Night Tejanarusa.

America’s Anchor Baby™ calling someone a “racial opportunist” is almost funny beyond words. So where in the world is Matt Lauer?

Clearly, with his head up Michelles ass, looking for a thrill perhaps?
