    Couple things………

    First of all, for Olbermann fans, an interesting piece on NYT today http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/magazine/olbermanns-rage-is-all-the-rage.html?pagewanted=1

    Also…. @Ashby are you able to specify how many posts appear under the “recent posts” header? Cause it’s a little annoying when you can’t even go back to a post from, say, this morning, with out having to scroll down, click on “June 2011″, and then find the post.
    Just sayin’, if you have control over the number that appear, you might want to make it all of the days posts.

      I’ll pass it along, Nicole.

      Nicole, that was a good article. The part where it says this:

      “He also built his own gallows, cultivating and encouraging both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell to the point where they became viable hosts and made MSNBC think it could survive without him. (The ratings have been fine since he left.)”

      Because where the hell else are Liberals supposed to go to get news?!?! It’s not like CNN is even close to reporting things in anything other than “he said, she said” mode.

      Alas, I only have Cox Cable and do not get Current TV. I’m hoping that someone will post his stuff or at least segments online.

    Libya! Dude, really, nothing…

    • JMAshby

      I do not give a flying fuck about Libya.

        I give less than a flying fuck! Is there something wrong with me as a liberal? I care about unions, social security, medicare, etc. Afghanistan and Iraq have concerned me for years but they seem to be winding down now. Must I get outraged about everything?

        Eeyup. Just more noise only a few Congressmen are making, don’t pay heed to it.

    If you want to laugh until you cry, go take a look at ManBabies.com…..they take photos of men and their sons and switch their heads. I’m still wiping the tears off my face.

      Well, Im scarred for life….

        Surely you jest?! That site is hysterical! Just thinking about it makes me laugh (of course I’m on glass #2 of Sangria, yes I’m a lightweight)

          Giant baby heads on adult bodies freaks me out. That website is going on my list with clowns, insects and the finger that lives in the sink drain.

          • http://drangedinaz.wordpress.com/ IrishGrrrl

            What?!….the finger that lives in the sink drain? What kind of bizarro childhood did you have?!?! I’ve never heard of such a thing. [She shudders] Now every time I look at my sink I’ll be thinking of that. Are you happy now? You got me back.

    Hey all, I had my iTouch stolen at work this week. That’s the second iPod I’ve had stolen from me at work within the last two years. Do you think I should demand compensation/replacement from building management? I mean, it’s just driving me nuts! On it I had over 700 songs, 8 Kindle books, games that I bought, and a bunch of personal notes….I’m so mad I could spit nails. Grrrrrrrrrrr
