The time is a-nearin’

I had seen on the Wait Wait site that the Beverly Hills shows would be taped for TV and meant to ask if we know anything about channels, air times, etc. And by “we” I mean Adam.

Back to lurking now.

Do you mean WW, don’t show me?

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

That was very funny, Harold.

Give her credit, Sarah Palin did a great Tina Fey impersonation with Katie Couric.

Who is this Palin to whom you refer?

I want to talk more about the TV show. (I don’t have a TV so talking about TV is my only connection to the medium.)

When is it airing? On PBS, what? What is the format? There are having two taping that day. How is it going to be topical if it is tapes two weeks before it airs? Will Peter wear a wig? Will it be revealed that Carl is actually 4′10″? Instead of Carl’s voice will winners get a video of him welcoming folks to their facebook page?

Enquiring minds want to know!

This may be old news to everyone else, but I just saw this speech for the first time. Powerful stuff:

What a magnificent speech!

I didn’t listen to the entire debate, but I heard part of it in the car on the way back from the gym. It’s amazing how Gov. Palin talks right past the question she was asked to the answer she thinks will put her in the best light.

Chris nailed it. “That prissy little windbag is full of poop and snakes.” I don’t even know what that means–it’s a bit abstract–but it sounds so right.

Gee, guys….. I don’t know. I find myself strangely drawn to the flat, nasal Midwest accent of the flute playing beauty queen from Wasilla, AK. BTW, what are they putting into the kool-aid these days? It’s mighty tasty!

I loved Joe Biden in the debate. I heard it on radio. The way he talked was reassuring. It inspired trust. And he always answered the question asked. Intelligently and sensibly. On the other hand, Sarah Palin’s constant dodgeen of questions and reverting to memorized quotes was very very annoying.

On another note, I second the question..what time is WWDTM going to air on TV? I need to call up my friends and family and ask them to not miss it!

Obama is in Asheville Sunday, and I am still up here in Hendersonville, just 20 miles down the road. Had I been back down on the edge (of the Green Swamp), I would have trucked my ass over to the University of Central Florida for Bill Clinton’s stemwinder for Obama Wednesday. Bill is going to bring home the I-4 corridor for Obama, and Hillary is going to bring home all those women down on Florida’s Gold Coast. Florida for Obama, and all is forgiven, Bill and Hillary. Hell, I’ve already forgiven them. And the more people think about the economy under Bill Clinton, the better.

Meanwhile, as Arianna Huffington observed today, McCain’s roll of the dice with the Hockey Puck Rapture Mom who believes humans and dinosaurs walked the earth together and that she and her kind will rise naked in the air while the rest of us are left behind on earth (who was it that said on FA that this is a win-win situation?) came up snake eyes last night. I agree.

The joint press conference (a nod to the creator of 60 minutes, who was on Tavis Smiley last night) was a tie, pigs fly, and shooting wolves from a helicopter qualifies as sport.

;)Yes Dee, and I’m thinkin’ droppin’ the letter g and winkin’ is Vomitrocious 8 )

oh, my obnoxious winkin’ didn’t work. BUT NEITHER DID HERS.

I don’t know, Sally. Maybe the wink does work!

At least the banner doesn’t read “Country First!”. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t be giving those boys any ideas.

Looks like poor Joe Biden didn’t cram enough for the exam.
“We kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon…”
WTF???
The fact that media wonks jumped all over the Couric interview, but sat quietly over this bizarre rewrite of history by the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, simply because he’s Obama’s running mate, is just crazy.
Is it a gaffe? Is he stupid? Is he lying? Does anyone care?
This whole election is a complete creepshow.
Both sides are equally vile.

My son and his friends decided to take a drink every time she said “Maverick” but they had to stop since it was a work night and they couldn’t go to work with the massive hangovers they were accruing.

Fran, “reformer” or the “wink” would have made them blotto, too.

Oh, yeah. The link to Rich Lowry’s review….

Not analysis at all, but quite funny:

I tried to find this as a direct link at YouTube, but it wasn’t coming up.

DvE, if you’re on today, this is yet more evidence that Bruce Springsteen is one if the most intelligent, thoughtful, committed songwriters out there….

I think that whole mole in the Palin/McCain campaign thing has been successfully wrestled to the ground, due in part to my chairing the investigation. That was much too close. Marlene spent most of yesterday packing and shipping items to my other storage pod in Belgrade Lakes, Maine. The apartment actually had an echo today when I closed the front door coming to work. Most of what’s left can, if necessary, be left in situ should we need to make a fast break for the border. We both have one suitcase each in the back of our Suburban, the gas tank gets topped off every night on the way home and there is $25,000 in small bills jammed into the driver side rocker panel. If we get any kind of head start, we should be fine.

I think the five winks during the Debate have pretty much taken the bloom off of the “Sarah” rose. Morale is pretty low and Sarah and Todd will be bunking it in a bunker for a while.

Cheney seems awfully edgy about the way the campaign has seemed to have jumped the shark. The thought of the Democrats winning the election has him worried that Congressional investigations in the next few years will be more spirited, shall we say. He’s been making all manner of calls to the HQ and those that I’ve fielded have shown him to not be in such a good humor these days. I haven’t answered my phone at HQ for 3 days now.I figure that the true believing Republicans should have the honor of receiving the foul, venting fumes of Cheney’s spleen.

Has anyone else noticed how the train schedules in America have just gone to Hell and East Jesus since Bush & Cheney took over 8 years ago?

Wow. I got up this morning and there was a huge chunk of sky on the front lawn. Has anybody else seen this?

The reich-wing must have people employed full-time to challenge videos on YouTube. The video at KeatingEconomics.com is no longer embedded but is now a download.

Orwell was right [again]. Those who control the intertubes control history.

Aunt Sam, thanks for the link! I was out for a run early this morning, listening to songs off of the “Live in New York City” album on my iPod … my favorite being the live version of “Youngstown”

“… them smokestacks reachin’ like the arms of God/Into a beautiful sky of soot and grey …”

OK, it looks like gillian is back and ready to reclaim her rightful place in the comedic pecking order. So, one more from me and I’m back in the shadows again. This one is weirdly strange. Get the kiddies out of the room before you play it. These are not the kind of ideas we should be presenting to this nation’s hope for the future.

Hey, Adam!! Mozal Tov, Bubbie, on getting your radio show moved up to TV!!! If you buy me a couple of beers sometime, I’ll listen to how you did it. In the meantime, let me give you a chance at getting in on the ground floor (OK, the bargain basement) on this marvelous, limited time offer for my video tape - “How to Connect, Plug in, and View Your First Video Tape on Your VCR!”

Listen, liebchen! Americans are busy these days running from job (OK, not so many are doing that anymore), to the Emergency room with their children’s hockey rink injuries (only to be denied admittance for lack of insurance and told to “suck it up and grow a new tooth, you big crybaby!” by the attending physician), to long, slow moving lines at the gas station. People can’t always sit down and watch TV when their favorite shows are on, so now there is a way for them go on with their exciting lives and watch your show later at their own convenience!! This tape is the same classic we’ve been selling for over a decade now (only one or two a year, but still…) and, though, true, it doesn’t get into the difficult and challenging steps to program and record your wonderful show, not to worry! That damning omission is not listed on the outside label!!!

These puppies are ready to be adopted, and your show is just the place for their first TV offering! Call me, Adam!! Our time is running out on this technology and I’m dying here!!!!

(Oh, and try to discourage your lovely mother from getting one of these tapes. I think she’s still steamed at me for those cases of “Deported Italian Napa Gel Balls” I sold her a few years back.)
