@ huffpo . . .

Don't spend much time there. Although there are periodically informative pieces and a few decent regular contributors, it always struck me as the People Magazine of the "liberal" blogosphere. Place is the gold standard of inane comments. It's a lot like Olbermann's program--20 minutes of meat, 40 minutes of star gazing and show biz fluff n' stuff with a health dose of Hollywood ego stroking. Like anyone cares about Gavin Newsome's wife's (who and who?) upcoming threesome film--vapid and pointless by definition. How seriously should you be taken if your blogmodel is "politics/showbiz".

If anyone around those parts was honest they'd hammer Cheryl Crow's next post and ask her if she donated her fee to charity for that Chicago Trust performance fiasco.

@ jcjcjcjcjcj . . .

. . . less likely you are to free your mind . . .

That's rich coming from you. The world mis-analogized to Moby Dick and other pearls of wisdom according jcjcjcjc.

What's next? Going to impress us with brilliant insights found in Archie comics and Scooby Doo reruns?

Here's a pearl of wisdom--get bent you five and dime drug store douche nozzle.

Oh yeah and and take some remedial courses in reading comprehension and argument construction. Clearly you missed those in grade school while you were in fantasy land pretending you were Queequeg.

@ Lotus Feet . . .

if you're going to accuse someone of hypocrisy at least learn to spell the word in the subject line correctly. Makes you look like a bigger eedjit than we already know you are. Sheesh.

Hey jcjcjcjc, we're still waiting for those pearls of wisdom you gleaned from your extensive collection of comic books and Hanna Barbara VHS video tapes.

@ Derbig . . .

Before the end the plot was a little fishy and didn't seem to mesh with jcjcjcj's interpretation of the pungent characters but it's yet to be seine if he trawls about to gill hook another with his flimsy inapposite literary gaff.

Bud da bum, rimshot. I'm just the padawan and your the master.

@ jcjcjcjcj . . . from Timothy3 . . .

give back his videos, you frickin' bogart. It's guys like you that made never loan out another DVD after I didn't get back my copies of the Fifth Element and Underworld The Director's Cut. Kate Beckinsale dressed in black leather makes me feel all funny inside. And Milla Javovich is no slouch her bad self. Oops. Did I say that out loud? Bad me, bad me. Time to go. Mom's calling down from upstairs telling me my Mac-n-Cheese is ready. Later.

@ GG and Accountability Now . . .

I've got a great suggestion for the first race you should target:

Val Kilmer vs. Steve Novick (my guy) for New Mexico Governor.

@ Derbig and Kitt . . .

Like I said DB you're the man, and I'm but an unskilled apprentice.

Kitt: Damn those evil villagers. How could they not know she was God's holy messenger. Fools.

But you know what, she could be wearing a burlap sack, a Viking hat, and speaking in tongues and I'd think she was the cat's meow. I actually sat through those silly zombie/video game based movies (Ultraviolet was actually fair) she starred in because watching her calms me down. Sort of like listening to Adele's new album 19, Norah Jones voice, fishing, golf, . . .

@ shearwater2 . . .

the left tried the same thing on Joe the Plumber, and on Sarah Palin. They go hunting boogie men to dig up dirt and refuse to believe that anything they find that is plain honesty and clear headed intelligence.

You're new here so let me say this with as much sincerity as I can muster: You aren't the brightest bulb in the string.

And BTW, the last sentence isn't a complete sentence which isn't surprising given the syntax of your heroes Joe and Sarah. Clear headed intelligence indeed. Sort of like being ethically challenged as governor and not paying your taxes or actually being a licensed plumber.

I hope you guys run Sarah or Bobby or Big John again--that oughta be a real milk shootin' out the nose hoot.

@ Kitt . . .

It always used to skeev me out a little that she was married (or with) to Luc Besson. Wasn't he like 30 years her senior? But each to his own, who am I to say where one should find love.

Take our own in-house youthful vixen, Pedinska, for example. Despite her coquettish ways (or because of them) she could be married to some old fella retired steel magnet and we wouldn't even know it.

Like I said each to his/her own. Love that lasts is hard enough to find without throwing in a bunch of preconceived notions about appropriate age gaps.

@ pedinska . . .

yeah I meant magnate but I got to typing so fast I didn't proof it. My bad.

Coquettish still holds even if the youthful and vixen don't apply. I'm sure you're being modest. I mean you did lasso a Czech which is no mean feat for a lady from Ohio. Unless he's a Czech-American from Ohio in which case its probably very normal. Did you meet him at a svickova and beer mixer at the Czech Cultural Center of Greater Cleveland?

He probably ambled up and cracked a very witty Moravian Brothers joke and you responded with did you know Ohio has the 7th largest Czech population in America and the rest was as they say--history?

Is he really a retired steel magnate? I could use a job or some help with my law school loans. You two need a post-nup, living wills, gardener who likes cats and housesitting while you two are off in wine country canoodling . . . ? I think one of the most famous vineyards out here in Dundee, OR has some Czech roots (Sokol-Blosser).
