No third season for FotC is a shame. I was a fan of their fan Kristen Schaal.

Today on their style page they have a poll asking which rw guy is "hotter", the nude centerfold or this other dude. I guess the next thing is for Arianna to go on teevee this week and proclaim they are now a "mainstream" blog. It was good while it lasted.

I saw that yesterday. I voted for the other dude. :)

I figured, WTF I'm here anyway.

I can't be serious 24/7. Might as well put the nails in your own coffin that way.

they look more like Politico every day, a brief scan of their politics and media pages has like 80% news on republicans, faux, etc. They stopped being a lefty blog months ago when they let in every wingnut who wanted to bash liberals. I have woken up and won't go there much anymore.

Yeah. I've noticed. I check out the headlines and the odd human interest bit. I don't hang on everything going on over there. I think she's doing the total magazine/variety show thing. She's already very rich (to begin with) and it's a for-profit business for her.

It's just Arianna's vanity project.

I rarely go there unless I'm bored out of my mind.

I live on the 3rd floor and the people below me keep their thermostat on high.

Nice for your heating bill anyway. Save your nickels for a rainy day.

I once lived in a bldg. that was so hot I left the windows and door (to balconey) open all winter (24 hours a day). Such a waste.

They are a married couple and she's over 65. Now I'm 66 but I still like the younger ones.

But it would suck if they put out a bunch of crappy material just to satisfy demand. I'd rather have quality than quantity, so in the long run, it'll be worth it. I'll miss Murray, Dave, and Mel.

that if they are going to have a good blog, they have to have a blog where people will disagree but still have to agree on some things. If you get trolls, let the posters take care of them.

the date 2009 sb 2010. it was just on a couple weeks ago. if he weren't a gay man, I'd be his stalker.

I wish the cbc would post old 22 minutes segments. they really were great.

sedum's picture

See how it sounds if you substituted "gay man" with "invalid" or "jew" or "black".

I'm sure it was just a slip but a nasty one.

JDubsMontreal's picture

Rick Mercer is gay. A woman saying that she'd stalk a man if he wasn't gay isn't comparable to saying she wouldn't stalk him if he were 'invalid', jewish or black.

That's hilarious! I love Rick Mercer.

Did anyone else notice that Symes didn't show up for his weekly bashing of lefties here?

Looks like someone hit rock bottom, but will he know it?

could have just caught one of many LV to OC one-hour, $75 flights. Or possibly, with one lucky pull of a slots handle, maybe only a 25 cent investment...

about the beltway pundits. They are are the old think of Washington DC insiders. They can't think outside of the box. All they can do is repeat the same ol shit that they hear on the beltway. What a sad bunch of pathetic people they are. There is not one original thought in the whole bunch.

Japan pretty much tells us what we can do with our U.S. bases. A "bi-partisan" bank regulation plan? Even Wal-Mart's laying off people. Even McCain criticizes the SCOTUS decision. Kimmy doesn't like S. Korea mimicking us.

sent me an invite to play Lexulous, sort of like Scrabble. I was going to join, but after reading what "joining" entails:

"By allowing this app you will share your Yahoo! info with Lexulous.

? What am I sharing? (and other legal information)

You grant Lexulous and WallaBros (developer) access to:

* Yahoo! Contacts

Obtain your Contacts data from Yahoo! Contacts.
* Yahoo! Profiles

Obtain your shared and public profile data and profile data your Connections share.
* Yahoo! Status

Obtain and update your status message.
* Yahoo! Updates

Share your activities and manage the updates you receive."

--------------------------

I'm no programmer; maybe all this info is needed to sync two people together to play a word game? But I think I'll pass...

Facebook must do that too. I sometimes get invites to join, and they always have "other people you might know". The only way they could know is if they have access to my email contacts!!!! I don't do any social networking (unless C&L counts). This is the only place I talk to other people. (I don't even IM, or text, or whatever Yahoo messenger is.)

I find that extremely invasive, as I intentionally stay off the radar.

That word game would interest me. Maybe we're just effed. Other people are joining these sites and our info is already out there (stolen). How disappointing. We are open books. Careful when Big Brother takes over COMPLETELY.

Anyone working on a post highlighting Bill Moyers' recent show about Obama one year in? Recommended.
