Lou Dobbs is dead. Long live Lou Dobbs.

Just who the hell does Lou Dobbs think he is? Bwahahahahahahah

bt!

Live by the asshole, die by the asshole. I love the way the wingnuts all seem to be turning on one another and eating their own.

Yeah, it’s a shame we don’t seem to have anything but more assholes to replace them with.

This is good news for Tom Tancredo.

perhaps Lou’ll come out and say that CNN made him say all those mean things for the ratings… ;-P

We seem to have developed a deep infestation in the nominal Democratic Party as well. Obama seems to think that, despite what the economists are saying, that deficits are more important than jobs and helicopter Ben says no jobs program.

I really thought Republicans would get it together, but it seems a long way off now.
*reaches for teeny tiny violin*

Then, suddenly, Dobbs files for divorce, and blames his Hispanic wifey for the evil spell she cast over him, making him seem all reasonable and lovable.

Close call, Dobbsy.

Yeah, I know. Goddamned varmints…

unfortunately, there’s a pack of these nativist nutjobs: Duncan Hunter, Dana Rohrabacher in this state, for starters

of course the wife gets the blame — eve and the apple yanno (/s)

Fuck that shit, Ben says Social Security is only mandatory until Congress repeals it. One of the most radical things ever said in Congressional testimony. Ever.

Yeah. Ben needs to go bye-bye real quick.

Hey, late niters! Just wanted to say hi – gotta run out to the grocery store: the weather folks say we’re going to have a hard freeze and the best chance for snow in 25 years! I never take snow talk very seriously–temps usually go right back up to 65-70 in December after a day or two, but, dang, this might be for real! And I forgot I’m out of bread.

Trust me, driving in San Antonio when there’s snow on the ground is asking for an accident – nobody here has a clue how to drive in snow, so it is truly dangerous to be on the road. Therefore I must go out now!

Can you tell I’m excited? (I like snow, wi th the exception of driving in it with people who don’t know how. Heck, I don’t remember how by this time.)
BBL!

social security and medicare — or am i mis-remembering?

See? There is NO global warming.

hehe. That should add a few more holds on his reconfirmation..

That’s what I heard too.

Amazing shit. I expect him to be un-nominated by Christmas.

Aloha Ya’ll from atop the mtn. again…! 8-)

i want him to resign to spend more time with andy card’s family

CT!!!

drive safe tejan

aloha ct — how’s paradise tonight

or alberto gonzales’

If Lou actually runs it’ll split the Conservative base even further… Let ‘em run…! ;-)

…and his BFF, Emperor Palpatine.

Supposed to get down to 5 tonight with a high of 30. Today it got all the way up to 20.

Driving on snow is easy. I close my eyes and put the hammer down.

Seriously, the biggest mistake people with automatic transmissions make is not using the low gears at intersections. The 1 and 2 are there for a reason.

Another gorgeous day… Some serious gusts happening outside tho…! Brrr…! ;-)

Hey, CT! How’s life on the big island?

He’d split it a lot more if he went insane again.

I’m watching the replay of Bernanke now, and he had to stop himself from repeating that point with KBH just now…

It’s in his blood.

Waving, wave back if you can see me.

Somebody needs to remind him (and Obama) the Wall Street is NOT the economy. In fact, it is much more of a parasitical growth on the real economy which is about jobs and making things.

*ouch* Must you be so brutally honest, EDP…? ;-)

Howdy, Dr (pause) Dick long time no see….. And RF, I sees ya…! *g*

They. Don’t. Care.

i heard something the other day about a bill to classify wall street as gambling.

it could be a spoof but….

Yay, I’m somebody now (the new telephone books are in)!

All those Derivatives and CDS’s are even worse an impact on Society than Vegas or any Lotto has had…! 8-(

I’d say that’s pretty damned clear at this point, may they rot in the hell of getting short-changed by Wells Fargo.

Well yeah, lotteries and casinos only tax people who are bad at math.

Hell, they are coming for the rest of our goodies. Bernanke is just the first one to actively throw out the idea. We need to nip this one in the bud NOW.

Evening y’all. Good to see you over here, too, CT. I’m excited about our snow forecast, too, but not nearly as excited as Tejanarusa. Goodness.

and casinos actually employ people — real people and the only bonuses ya hear about are visitors getting comped not the executives. i believe casinos also have a limit as to how much profit they can take.

Good presidents delegate responsibility to good people. I should have been clear to all of us at the outset (not just Hugh and eCAHN :-) that the people Obama was surrounding himself with meant we were about to get screwed.

Ironically, Vegas is more regulated than Wall Street these days…!

It may snow in New Orleans tonight. More likely in Baton Rouge though.

Hi GDP.

brrrrr

My biggest disappointment was his appointment of Summers. He’s such an arrogant SOB.

Low 20s here tonight. We had a pretty rough winter last year, thinking this one may be worse. My squirrels have layered on so much fat they’re probably about 15 lbs each.

Hey Ratfood. We’re supposed to fall into the 20′s tomorrow night. It will be our first freeze of the season.

I remember being inundated with snow while I was stationed at Polk… Lousy-annans do not have the slightest clue how to drive in even a 1/4 inch of snow…! 8-(

I think this is our first hard freeze. Might have to break out the long pants tomorrow.

But they sure can drive in the mud.

This is exactly what Dobbs’ deserves.

Is that why mama and papa Ensign made gifts to the Hamptons?!

People here are pretty bad and they do it every year. The snow wouldn’t bother me if I didn’t have to share the road with so many clueless drivers.

Ain’t nothing else to drive in…! ;-)

naw that was a bribe to buy silence

No, but blog rules don’t let me say what he really deserves.

Suzie-Q, you have the honors tonite, eh…?

That’s why El Caminos remain popular in the South. In a pinch you detach the back and turn it into a raft, hoist that rebel flag and it makes a nifty sail.

yup

You think they do any work on that mountain, or just use the telescope to peek in windows down in the lowlands?

I know. It’s all fun.

Heh, if all goes as planned we’ll soon have the biggest telescope of them all… The TMT…!!!

Congrats! Better keep an eye out for Chilean astronomers swarming up the mountain bent on revenge.

Ten reasons Bernanke should be fired.

That is very cool.

Wow, CTuttle, do you ever take photos with that contraption?

They’re determined to have it here, they’ve already cleared a lot of the Land Use hurdles and on track to break ground in a year or two depending on the economics… Already $500 Mil has been pledged and produced…

I wish I had greater access to some of the pics they do take…! Basically, I have access to the same pics you can see at the Gemini website…!

Time for me to toddle off. Take care all and remember that it is not how big you make it, but how you make it big. 8-)

Can you see the future through it?

Why is BT still talking about Lou?

He’s dead to most of us.

BT, wake up, he’s dead!

Yeah, I mean even past SNARKY dead . . .

Can we get some other targets? Please?

g’nite DrDick

Aloha, Dr. D… Great to see ya again…

Fast and furiouis?

Yer scarin me Doc . . . ;-)

Ya can’t teach THAT . . . can ya?

I do weary of KO’s Dobbs’ impersonation…! 8-(

CT! Wahtchoo peepin yer peepers at? *G* *waves*

Blue Lou Marini? Didja know he played on Zappa in New York (1977)?

Weary of Dobbs, not KO!!!!

(danged mellow islanders)

*G*

They’re all zombies.

LLLLOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, that was Pinella.

Who’s Marini? Is he the dude standin next to Joe Baciogalupe on The Pope’s Balcony?

*G*

Sax man with a discography long as yer arm, probably best remembered as a member of the Blues Brothers band.

lou marini

ZOMBIE!!!!!

Always lookin for a hook to Dear Dolores O’Riordan . . . thanks! *G*

YOu n Suz give good sax . . *G*

lou gives better sax

Updated my comment @ 86 with a youtube link. Lou has a good solo at about a minute in.

Lemme Know When You N Rat Wanna Talk Real Sax.

Course, we COULD get into the zhazz, and I’d point ALL of y’all to Darkblack’s Place, for the legends.

Blues Brothers Sax? Heh . . . (laughs scoffingly in a gentle and kindly knowing way that’s a bit needling)

*G*

The band featured lots of the Stax session players. Maybe not their most meaningful gig, although it probably played the best.

OH, N Lou Dobbs would suck if his pipes weren’t so clogged up from his previe suckages . . . . .

Bigger dragons to slay today, ya know . . . all y’all know . . . .

I’m more of a Trane, Sanders (Pharoah, not Colonel), Coleman, Dolphy, Ayler, Shepp, Redman (Dewey), Lowe (Frank) kind of sax fan myself. Y’all can have yer tidy prearranged stuff.

Great picture of Dobbs. He probably would have a heart attack if he saw it.

Frank Lowe with the Billy Bang Quintet.

Prolly just make him irritable, not that anyone could tell.

Ok, Marini (Suz N Ratfood) worked with some good bands, had chops.

My bad.

Never heard his name . . . not like he was Bobby Keys with the Stones, ya know . . *G*

And as Rat sez, there’s Jazz Saxers . . . Trane, but also others he didn’t mention . . . Bird, Coleman, Young, and more. Dem Kats.

Ya know . . . real blowers and suckers . . *G*

I’m partial to the Free Jazz movement but like me some BeBop too. It’s hard to imagine how radical Bird must have sounded to a 1940s ear, or an Armstrong trumpet in the ’20s.

Think I’ll call it a night. See y’all.

Evening all — night ratfood!

hey ce — waving g’nite to the leaving sleepyheads

He’s gone, but makes a good point.

How crazed and insane does one generation sound to another, and where ELSE would the present gen get it’s inspiration other n the previous gen . . . course, those that only go back ONE gen, are lazy and their music shows it.

I like the one’s who go WAYYYYYY back, and use it all, and tell why they do, too . . .

And brang it forward, so I get to listen to it.

Too few. Like. That.

Uh-oh, Suz…! Is there something behind the curtain…?

Aloha, RF and CE…! ;-)

Hey Suzanne!
Snow squalls expected here, and in TEXAS, too! Right now, rain and more rain. We are packing for New York City, leaving on a jet plane tomorrow night.

Someone in their blogger pj’s??????? At home, in Mom’s basement?

*shock*

CT, I’d love to be where you are!

whatchu talking bout?

Heh, in a snowsuit on top of Mauna Kea…! 8-P

I lost a comment with a link… Maybe it was because it was a Wash. Times article on Chalabi…!

Have fun and enjoy your daughter!

nothing in the filters dood… nsa musta scooped it up

Here’s the article…

Thanks Loo Hoo,
I can’t wait to see where our kids live, it sort of freaks me out to think that years go by and I have no idea of their physical space. Wait, that sounds crazy. MrCE also has a radio interview on WNYC on Monday at 12:40 pm

late late nite upstairs

Cool! What’s the subject about which he’ll be speaking?

K. You win.

*G*

Well he’s won back the mexican lepers but Lou is too grossed out to embrace them.
