…and it was great. I’ll post something this weekend, but now, if you’ll ’scuse me, I’ve got to step out to Chicago for a quick Waitwaiting.
Meanwhile, and I’m trying to put this delicately, please enjoy the rantings of the most colossal Dick in the history of mankind.

1And in this situation, I definitely do NOT have Dick envy. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHH. (screaming lament). I have tried to write something that describes my feelings, and nothing works. All I can feel is anger and violence and hate, which is what he sups.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

2Can’t bring myself listen to or read another world from the Dickster’s mouth/keyboard (or whatever). Horse shit is for rose bushes, but Cheney’s has no substantive existence, so no help even for the rose bushes. How someone so devoid of insight could be turned loose with such power and leave such a path of destruction has to rank as one of the top 5 fuckups in American history.
Time for a list of the top 10 as seen by FAists?

3Well, I for one agree with Mr. Cheney. He IS a terrorist, and that ticker can’t go on for much longer, so I do see a terrorist (heart)attack in the near future. And the sooner the better.

4Adam, glad you had great fun. Many of us were worried about 50’s Sea Hunt giant clams and 70’s National Geographic Special giant groupers. I know I was.
Dick. Cheney. I can’t think of anything bad enough to call this guy. Dick, even in the most negative sense as pure insult, is not bad enough. And as a happy het I’m torn, dick is an inelegant term that I’m not fond of for something I’m quite fond of. Using “Cheney” as an insult stains the good name of the Phantom of the Opera and the Wolfman. (We usually just made Karloff-esque snarling noises when we talked about him. Which disses Frankenstein’s Monster.) Now that it’s too late we have a great option–since the appearance at the inauguration with the wheelchair and the cane we’ve leaned toward “Mr. Potter.”
We’ve long stopped calling his puppet anything but anus-face and idiot bastard son.

5Looking forward to Wait Wait. And speaking of dick heads, what is it with these pumas? I talked to an old friend on the phone, and he ended up berating me because I called Obama an intellectual. He sent me to his web site to show me proof of all kinds of Obama shenanigans, and what I found there were a bunch of rantings that read like fresh Rush. I was sort of shocked by the number of posters who swing by there to agree with him. Also, shocking is the level of hatred aimed at Obama. And paranoia. The supposed plots go way beyond forged birth certificates to include shadowy espionage intrigue that makes Obama into some sort of Manchurian Candidate or other form of sleeper agent. At the very best, people at that site think Obama is nothing more than a continuation of Bush; while others the seem him as some sort of corrupt mob front man.
I went back the next day because I couldn’t quite believe the garbage I was seeing. If I didn’t know how left-leaning these folks were, I’d say it was Hanity spawned. When I got there, I found that I was being ridiculed–not by name, but as a “friend”–for fawning over Obama, with a dozen posters agreeing about what an idiot I must be, and how I was typical of all the Obamatrons. Again, the hate was pretty upfront. It made me feel like I was in Junior High, and I’d just rounded a corner to find a dozen kids all saying nasty things about me and digging it.

6So Cheney says no one could have foreseen the economic collapse, no one could have foreseen the attacks of 9/11 (despite many warnings), no one could have foreseen the rise of the insurgency in Iraq, etc, etc. But now we’re supposed to believe that suddenly he can “foresee” an imminent attack? Where did this sudden clarity of vision arise? Or does he have some actual sinister knowledge?

7Jeez, I thought Cheney would want us to close Guantanamo so he wouldn’t wind up imprisoned there himself after we finish with his war crimes trial. Unless a sunny Caribbean retirement spot near the beach was what he was after all the long…..

9Keith Olbermann just got through with an unerring, unremitting dismantling Dick Cheney, closing with the comment that it is time to be done with Dick Cheney.
Hell of a speech by Barack Obama. Time to leave the Republican obstructionists and their blue dog fellow travellers for dead, if necessary. Better that than leaving the republic for dead.

10Yeah, David, I listened to Keith’s Special Comment, as well. dick needs to STFU. He no longer has the power. Plus, he has done enough damage to the country already. He had his chance at sinking the ship of state (that was his plan, right?) and he proved to be a failure.
Go away, dick Cheney. You are bad mojo. Quit sniping at our legally elected president. Give him a chance, give us a chance. Piss off! Go back to smoking cigarettes. Remember how much fun that used to be and how pleasurable the experience was. You know you miss it. Go ahead; start smoking again. You’re an old man. What’s it going to hurt?

11Whoa! What a crowd. You guys are great!! You’re too kind. Really. Did you hear the one about the Zen master’s question to the new monks? “If a man (Harry Markopolos, for instance) begs the SEC to investigate a Ponzi scheme (the largest one in history, run by Bernie Madoff, for example) constantly for nine years and the SEC does nothing, is that the sound of one lip flapping?” Yeah, I don’t get it either. Inscrutible Asians - what are you going to do?
Anyway, it’s a good thing Rush Limbaugh is speaking for the Republican Party these days.

13OK. Yet another crisis of faith; I’m rumored to be God’s mouthpiece on Earth, right? So, how come no one told me about the new Holocaust denial by Bishop Richard Williamson just days before I lifted the excommunication? Maybe God, if you’re not too busy, occasionally, a little help down here would be appreciated! So I’ll wipe the egg off my face and blame that little SNAFU on old age - again. Angela Merkle has been all over me like a cheap suit. You wouldn’t think she’d use words like “dummkopf!” and “scheiße!” when speaking to the Holy Father. Well, she has always hated men. Maybe I can excommunicate her.

14What? gregory wants to be pope now? OK, what else can happen to me this week? Maybe Vinnie should pay him a visit, offer to “tune him up”, as Sipowicz would say. I tell you the Holy See is full of treachery and long knives. Maybe I should just have a little schnapps and go to bed.

17When I was a kid, I was given the double album recording of Will Rogers, USA. I listened to that over and over again–all four sides. I loved it so much, and it was so rare to be able to get a copy of a whole play that you could listen to at home. So thanks, James Whitmore. I’ll always be gratefull.
As I thought of that album today, I was suddenly in awe of the profound media changes that have taken place over the last two decades. We don’t see it so much, but I bet historians see it as a watershed comparable to Gutenberg’s.

21Sally Mutant, one of my scuba instructors said that he always thought that the giant clams trapping your foot was a myth until he stuck a stick in one and couldn’t for the life of him pull it out. He was never temped to step his foot in one after that.
Adam, once you are familiar with scuba enough to be comfortable, be sure to rent an underwater camera to bring home some photos of how fascinating it is under water.
Dick isn’t trying to save the country he is trying to save himself, or at least trying to stay out of jail.

22“What else would you expect from a totally unhinged paranoid?”
Oh, I don’t know, Murray. Maybe riding the first atomic bomb of a nuclear war, like a bronco with the bomb between your legs and hollering “YEEEEE-HAWWWWWWW!” all the way from the bomb bay to Ground Zero. Oh, wait. That’s been done already. Well it’s been done in black and white. And that was 45 years ago. Maybe in color, today, and with a fake nuclear bomb. Yeah. Would that work for you?

23SeattleDan, I agree - Adam was hilarious! And Charlie got in a good one about the drunk Russian airline pilot - “Please return the captain to his original upright position.” I tell you, humorists are just a different sort of human being, aren’t they?

24Humanist humorists rock. Secular/succubi humanist humorists rule.
Try saying the second sentence five times. The first sentence can be used for training purposes. Then do the whole thing five times.
If enough people chant this in unison successfully five times, the Dickster will be compelled by forces even darker than he is to re-enact Slim Pickens’ nuke ‘em till they glow rodeo ride, to the strains of Frankie Laine singing “Ghost Riders in the Sky.”

25You’ve convinced me - I will download the podcast. I listened to WWDTM yesterday and got the “pledge special” - no Adam, no Charlie doing a drunken Russian airline pilot. They did rerun the “trucknutz” sequence though, which is always good for a laugh.

26Hi Murray, got to give Sea Hunt giant clam fan props to dee, cooper and zeke. And got to give Sea Hunt writers of way back props for realizing the dangers of the giant clam–and thank you for confirming that giant clam stuff happens! Have fun, Adam and CAREFULL NOW.

27Sally M. One thing I remember is how Loyd always had double or even triple tanks. It was sort of a macho thing. Bad guys always had fewer tanks.I even remember Loyd struggling under 6 tanks one time . As a child I wondered how much they might have weighed. As an adult I can tell you that one tank at 40-50# is plenty.
