It’s Thursday, and is supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far here. Which really sucks. So, I’m gonna go pop myself in the freezer for a while, until I have to go to work.

Krista’s quotin’ Amy… 😀
Speaking of Amy, Wino Watch will be delayed until this afternoon. It’s still raining, and the new driver blew past my stop this morning. The mud all over my pants is coagulating nicely, though. I feel like I’m seven years old and fell into a mud puddle on the playground.
😡

9 thought dead as Minneapolis bridge collapses

===============================
This is what happens when you leave rethugs in power for two long .. :reaper: :reaper:
Awwwwwww :boobs: :hubba: thoughts of Amy to warm ya a bit. :hot: :40: :alc: :40: …. :dancers: of :reaper: A!I!V! … Cheers
I hope anybody out there in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area (and their families) are doing OK. That’s a very heavily traveled bridge out there, and we had a bit of a scare here, since RG has three daughters, two sons in law, and a grandchild out there. They all appear to be OK, thankfully.
Fred, 🙁 :bow: The Last I had heard was 7,,,and they said that would probably be all, yet evidently not.
Wait, they just lowered the death toll from 9/7 to 4 yet either way…
BLESSINGS :knit: :priest: although another faith, I burn “frankincense & myrrh” :bow: :gate:
Savage asked, “Am I to believe there’s no connection between Charles Schumer on Friday saying he would never appoint, or never, excuse me, approve another Bush appointment to the court, to any court? And then the chief justice suffers a so-called seizure two days later? You’re telling me there’s no possibility of a conspiracy by the Democrats to have caused this seizure in some manner?” He added: “Tell me it’s not possible, and I’ll tell you you’re a liar.”Savage asked, “Am I to believe there’s no connection between Charles Schumer on Friday saying he would never appoint, or never, excuse me, approve another Bush appointment to the court, to any court?

From Dailykos, somehow still posting inspite of O’Reilly’s hexes:
Dodd successfully exposed O’Reilly’s hypocrisy, referring to offensive comments O’Reilly has made in the past including when O’Reilly suggested that Al Qaeda “go ahead” and “blow up” Coit Tower in San Francisco (Media Matters).
The word I got from our communications director Hari Sevugan, who as at the taping and had also previously issued a strong statement on O’Reilly’s lack of standing to criticize Daily Kos for offensive comments was that it was a confrontational interview:
1.) O’Reilly cut the interview short. They told us seven minutes, it was around 4 1/2.
2.) It was quite confrontational — Dodd consistently rejected the premise of O’Reilly’s questions.
3.) Dodd hit all the important points: selectively picking a micro-sample of comments that are not representative; 500,000 people a day visit the site
4.) O’Reilly’s bluster about Yearly Kos is about O’Reilly not liking the ideology and he ought to be honest about that
5.) Dodd called O’Reilly on making comments that were even worse, then mentioned the Coit Tower piece, when O’Reilly urged terrorists to blow it up. O’Reilly asked Dodd when he said that, and Dodd apparently gave him the date.
6.) Finally, O’Reilly ended the interview abruptly by saying that Dodd “was no Joe Lieberman.”
Heh, indeedy.

The interview was preempted by the bridge collapse and is scheduled to air today. Hopefully, Crooks and Liars will have video so no one has to watch Billo.
Good Morning :joe:
It’s to bad that Savage wasn’t correct.. It would sure be nice if ….. :reaper: :reaper:
After moving over here with the rest of Engineering it would seem that a disproportional number of the IDIOT MORONS seem to have MS degrees
I think we picked up to many ex DOD contractor employees some place :yuck: :fustrate: :fustrate: :paranoid: :crap: :paranoid:
the young turks talked about the savage comment and went on to say he mentioned the russian polonium poisoned sushi and said someone could have slipped something into a sandwich for roberts. ben said, “if it was in a chicken sandwich, did he suffer a chicken seizure..?”
God..Bush is really at a loss for words today… :fustrate:
:hot:
Gonna be hot where I am today too…
It’s only spose to be 100 degrees here today, but it’s gonna be sooooooo sticky :hot: There is something to be said for dry heat. At least I can run the swamp and it’s way cheaper than the ac.
Hello all. :joe:
Hey guys…Greetinbgs from Chicagoland and the YK…I just posted day one crap after losing a post last night and giving up in disgust…but nothing much is happening round here yet as the opening speech is tonight…there are some talks and whatever today but Ive been slow to figure it out.
anyway…check it out on my blog…
Seanie…am still waiting to hear from my friend about the show…will get to you soon as I can ifnd out.
Just a quick check-in from :slap: :reaper: SiCKO Land :reaper: :slap: in between health care battles :tommygun: — Just caught some video from that bridge. I drove over that bridge at least a dozen times when I was out there in May & they were talking about some structural concerns & planned repairs at that time. My understanding was that they were closing a section of 35W for several weeks (probably more) to do some major repairs. Guess somebody goofed big time. I spoke to my daughters very early this morning after I saw the news. Everyone is alive & accounted for. My heart stopped when I checked CNN after posting here :omg: But it’s better now. :sammy:
Well, back to the trenches of :slap: :reaper: SiCKO Land :reaper: :slap:
:fist: A!I!V! :fist:
As promised this morning, the glory, the splendor and the drunken stupor that is…
WINO WATCH! :alc:
In which Amy hangs tough in the top 10 for yet another week, slipping from 8-9 due to the #3 arrival of Prince, who will be covering “Love Is A Losing Game” on tour this year.

Melina, I read on another blog that Amy is scheduled to perform at a club somewhere in the vicinity of the Kos festivities. It’s either Friday or Saturday, probably Saturday. Could be worth checking out, although given Amy’s recent penchant for blowing off shows, you may not want to buy tickets in advance, in case she’s off somewhere
:40: :40: :40: :40: :40: :40: :40:
Looking forward to a day off tomorrow. I’ll try and find a beach to go to that has reasonable prices for food. NJ gas is cheap, but you’re sodomized getting food at the shore. Then again, maybe I’ll just go to the pool at the gym….
A big shake-up is in the works at Air America Radio. Mark Riley, one of the three original AAR hosts still on the air (Randi Rhodes and Rachel Maddow are the other ones) will be gone and so will Riley’s nightly ensemble show The Air Americans to be replaced by a pair of two-hour talk shows. AAR weekend host, Richard Greene will move his show to weeknights – 8-10pm and Bree Walker, who has been hosting a weekend show on KTLK-AM in Los Angeles, will yak from 10pm-midnight.
snip
Meanwhile, AAR’s other new weekday show – hosted by Lionel from 9am-noon is also not doing well. While the veteran broadcaster was carried by dozens of stations when he was offered as a late night talker by WOR Syndication, his morning AAR show has only been picked up by 15 stations.
http://talkingradio.blogspot.com/2007/08/air-americans-to-be-grounded-in.html
Perhaps AAR will consider listening to its audience. But, I doubt it. Richard Greene is boring and I have not heard of the new host. Seder, of course, would be a great late evening host. Maron, has too much sense to deal with them anymore.
:rant1: :rant1:
Vigilance committees :sheep: le Vigilance committees :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :fist:
Maybe AAR 3.0 will discover back to the future and have a program called Morning Sedition .. Telling people how badly they are screwed but offering no solutions is only a good way to promote anti-acids. :gate: :omg: :jason: :fist:
Still another cultural icon passes…
The great Tommy Makem is gone.
:40: :gate:
Last night KKZN was off the air for about 2 hrs and scanning the radio dial turned up some local fool pushing Charter Schools followed by Bill Oliely or Laura Ingrim or Micheal Weiner or Hugh Hewitt, or Micheal Reagan and no less than three instances of the Rockies baseball game. The worst part was when they came back on the air their news didn’t have anything about the bridge collapse until way after 9 pm Mountain time leading one to believe the news was delayed by 4 hrs the same as the programming. :reaper: :reaper:
Clear Channel seems to want to have the progessive format die in Denver but hardly anyone I know who was listening is still listening because progressives want solutions not just 😮 😮 Oh dear all the time. They voted in democrats and got just some lighter brown pieces of shit .. So now what ??
Boy, they sure didn’t give that show much room to establish itself.
I believe Bree Walker is Jim Lampley’s ex-wife (they are still friends).
I think the problem is that far left sided radio has an audience but a problem with a lack of sponsors.. they can’t legally say what is needed to be said either. :tommygun: :tommygun:
Maybe NovaM can actually make a go of things. Though they don’t list us on their blogroll :no: (and after all my diddling around with Shelly, too). AAR had it going on for a while there, but it’s been dead for quite a while. I hope Sammy turns up with a daily (or nightly) show someplace where I can listen (or at least podcast).
PJ. what did happen with all of that with NovaM?
Oh, well, Shelly had his secretary set up a “meeting” (via telephone) with me. So, they called me, and I spoke with Shelly about a bunch of things, including getting a NovaM affiliate in Syracuse. Anyhow, he was gonna get his “web team” (including Joe Trippi) to hook up with us, and maybe get some cross-promotion going between us and NovaM. He also said they really, really wanted to get Sammy and Marc on board with them (but that’s a secret, so don’t tell). Anyhow, I didn’t really expect to hear anything from it all, and, well, I didn’t. So, that’s that. I, of course, continue to link to them, and we are NovaM founders here (I never gave AAR a penny, but I would have, if they hadn’t killed all the best stuff).
Colbert on sedition radio right now. God, I miss that show.
Votescam
Two weeks ago, one of the most important Republican lawyers in Sacramento quietly filed a ballot initiative that would end the practice of granting all fifty-five of California’s electoral votes to the statewide winner. Instead, it would award two of them to the statewide winner and the rest, one by one, to the winner in each congressional district. Nineteen of the fifty-three districts are represented by Republicans, but Bush carried twenty-two districts in 2004. The bottom line is that the initiative, if passed, would spot the Republican ticket something in the neighborhood of twenty electoral votes—votes that it wouldn’t get under the rules prevailing in every other sizable state in the Union.
These bastards will do anything.
😯 😮 i cant believe nobody commented on this all day maybe you :sheep: will if i post the same thing from democracy now (it has an mp3 story on the cochabamba water rebellion) so go listen and discuss
