Networks dropped the ball
Once again [this time on Sunday, March 21] I was appalled when I turned to the local stations in an attempt to see the evening newscasts. As usual, I found that the CBS Evening News had been pre-empted by sports and that NBC News was as well. ABC News, on the other hand, had the good sense to show an actual newscast.
On this momentous day in history [with the passage of the health care bill], one might think that someone at CBS or NBC would have had the good sense to preempt their beloved sports in favor of the news. But, once again, we see that they believe that people playing with a ball is more important than our nation's future!
Kudos to ABC News, which truly carried the ball.

if they're legit they wear a badge showing that they (the paper) paid a permit fee to distribute them. it's actually not a bad way for them to make some honest money.
Blanket, who does the fee get paid to? The city? It isn't a bad way to make some honest money, I agree. The whole thing just seems odd to me. Do you know who prints it?
Blanket - About those shoes, I know how to mix cement, if you need help.
did you hear the commercial for the new italian tires?
dago in the rain, dago in the snow, but when dago flat, dego wop wop wop.
Ha!
and wop.
Mama, yes the permit money goes to the city. that's how it worked in Chicago. i forgot which no profit does it. if you googled enough you could probably find out.
If Sidiot went to a Predators game, she'd carjack (Zamjack?) the Zamboni and drive it into the boards, then sink it at center ice.
She'd be called for "icing", thinking it was a compliment.
bfra, give me a quote. i have a feeling we'll be doing some business.
have a cannoli.
MamaG, Phil prints those papers, down in the Bunker.
Blanket - Am I now supposed to ask what nationality the tires are? You got some good ones today!
494 "Comments" at 3:15pm. I said 500. Damn close.

house - Maybe Phil will let Blanket & myself construct some special shoes there, also! I recomment he be the first to try them.
actually, my family is from northern italy - no sicilians in my kinfolk.

Blanket, are there any houses to rent in Tuscany?
Frank Sinatra Italian.
i wish, house!
Blanket, thanks for the info; I'm going to look into that further. LOL! You are on a roll today!
House! That's good!!! I knew that place wasn't just another purty bunker!
2 eyebrow Italian
nazi, Frank couldn't get made because he wasn't Sicilian.
Or so I read.
Hey! Good evening to everyone............
I bought one of those papers a couple of Sundays ago. Whew boy... it was so freakin' liberal I thought I was reading The Scene again.
Pavarotti - Italian and the best.

Sid, I'll teach you to play guitar if you drop and roll at the Predator game tomorrow night...
G, I probably can't afford to get into the game. How about I drop and roll on the steps of the TN state capitol bldg? Then we can say I slipped on a banana peel thrown out by a homeless person after Mama or Funditto tried to help them.
I am seriously telling you that I wish someone had filmed it. Everytime I think about it, I crack up laughing. Maybe I hit my head! Maybe that's why I'm laughing.
Mama, here's a homeless paper out of Seattle:

i heard the same thing. you can be of low rank but that's it unless you are Sicilian.

"They identified that douche bag who shouted, "baby killer"....a GOP from Texas.
The place that executes more retards than any other state, especially when GW Bush was Governor.
Then, Bush invades Iraq, killing how many civilians?
And this dick weed yells out in Congress, "baby killer" to Stupak?"
Get this, I called Marsha "birther" Blackburn's office to see what "she" had to say about this. When I asked about whether Blackburn had a statement regarding the "baby Killer" comment, they acted like they had absolutely no idea that it even happened let alone have anything to say about it. Gives you an idea as to how stupid she thinks her constituents are, doesn't it?
wow, that was pretty lame, brrrk. Marsha is such a joke.
nazi, careful. I think Ben has a crush on Marsha.
GWB and I wanna make a Marsha sandwich.
Ben, she would look good in a cheerleader outfit, or maybe a stewardess uniform?
Oh no, cocktail waitress for sure. You can't alter precedent in these things. Wouldn’t want to dishonor Ted’s memory.
bitter much, Ben?
Yeah, yeah.... Teddy would be so proud.
Hey... that's all between Teddy, Chris and their assault victim. I've got no dog in that hunt.
And Mary Jo? That b*tch shoud've taken swimming lessons at the country club when she was a child... like all the civilized people.

Spoken like someone who has no glass in his house....
We're talking relative value here... obviously Teddy's dogged and persistent dedication to fighting for the little people far out-weigh a few little drunken indiscretions.
indeed, brrrk. when you're reaching that far down to the bottom of the barrel...
it's a bit pathetic, actually.
but then Ben did travel to D.C. with the tea baggers......

so i guess just consider the source.
I believe that whole story was a fabrication or a plant. If the event could have been characterized that way CNN would be hyperventilating and running it wall to wall.
Now someone calling Barney a fag? Yeah, I could probably see that one.
oh, so now it's just a fabrication. whatever, Ben.
Is it just late, or did Bend-O call Mary Jo Kopeckne a bitch?
Who wants that idiot on this board?
Show of hands?
Ben, you said that as if it's a lesser offense or more acceptable to call someone a fag.
