I KNEW you would be the FIRST person to post here.

Well ain't you special?

Regrettably for you - we're fresh out of prizes! ;o(

No Feisty you are special. You are here all day, every day.

Very dedicated. It does raise an interesting point - do you got anything else?

I imagine your family is totally supportive of the 10-12 hours, plus weekends you spend here.

I'm sure there will be some prize for most posts on First Read. Totally worth it, right old gal?

Spanky- Feisty's time is YOUR businees, W H Y again?

Say- how's those hours you are billing clients for coming along right now? ALL strictly work-related, right?

And- if you want to say "DBO- that's none of YOUR business", I understand. You would be correct, of course.

Easy one DBO,oh champion of Feisty. Because she's the self professed queen of the board. How much time do you spend around here on the weekends and holidays DBO? Poo Feisty - all day, everyday. I bet she as had a continuous presence on this board for YEARS. Fantastic, again, I'm sure there is a prize.

Hours and billings on track for good year, thanks for asking. In fact had a highly productive few days in Sacramento. But again, it seems you fundamentally do not understand my business, or how the money part works.

It's ok, I'm sure we will continue to educate you as time rolls on.

Oh look - almost 3:00, which means you are just about done and I am off to Thursday happy hour. Or as I like to call it "client development. SHHH!

Spanky- Feisty's time is YOUR businees, W H Y again?

Me thinks, Stinky the little CheWOWA is crapping himself sick, because people are paying attention to what I have to say...

Let's face it - it SUCKS to be a conservative these days... lol

Just my 0.02!

Yeah, conservatives are totally getting rocked lately.

1. Shows how totally clueless you are Feisty old gal; and

2. Uh, I'm on ignore, 'member. Those are you words.

Again - just goes to show you cannot get you enough Spanky love. It's OK old gal - I loves you too.

These will be some mighty entertaining times for you and your s Feisty.

"Winning!"

And again - as per usual you will be HERE all weekend and the holiday. Got a life old gal, or is this really it?

Oh No!

Spanky... you are on a roll today? trying to piss off as many liberals as you can, huh? (seeing all your replies from this post and countless below)...

Don't you have your "client development" thingy to go too?? oh I forgot... shhhsh

Have a good day bud~!

nisl - so do tell: if no one at Fox has talent how come they do pretty well in the rating/money making areas?

Or it that Maddow/Schultz and O'Donnell are too totally awsome and smart to garner any credible rating?

Oh and where on the talent scale would you pu my many Matthews? I just love that guy.

They do well because they get 100% of the stupid/low information viewers. The rest of the viewers get split between various networks or avoid cable news all together.

I bet you love Fox news.

Ye - must be stupid.

Like I said I only watch MSNBC.

But don't worry nisl, I get you. I stupid.

Hey nisl - I presume that you are all good with Obama's efforts to re-up the Patriot Act?

At least you understand your limitations. And, while I don't know you, I'm guessing your analysis of your intellect is spot on.

Ah, nisl - a man's got to know his limitations.

But, but, I watch MSNBC.

And the Patriot thing-y nisl? You are good with it?

Spanky,

That'd be because in some area people can only get Fox.

after 20 years at the station. KMSP, along with KDFW in Dallas-Fort Worth, and KSAZ-TV in Phoenix are the only Fox-owned stations to have a 10 p.m. newscast in the Central and Mountain Time Zones (of the mentioned stations, KMSP and KDFW do not run their 10 p.m. newscast nightly and KMSP is the only one that airs their 10 p.m. newscast on during the weekend, airing it on Sunday nights.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KMSP-TV

The husband of Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth, Matthew Freud, stated--"It is the network inherently unworthy of being a news outlet. It is "mindless vulgarity" in place of genuine journalism.

How sad for some people. You especially Bev. :)

So many choices out there - cable, dish. Oh then there is this new fangled thing called the internets.

So, I assume you are over 75 years old Bev. You are an inspiration.

Surprise surprise, they keep her around, for her brains right.

Just the far right side of the brain.

Greg - good to see you have such a tight grasp on the difference between news and entertainment.

I only watch MSNBC - you know to support the cause and all [ok for the entertainment]. Was Palin a news anchor? I always thought she was on the opinion shows - like Hannity, O'Reilly and whoever else they got.

I thought they had the news read by the hot blondes. I love hot blondes, how about you Greg? I sure wish they'd get some hot blondes on MSNBC.

Journalistic integrity??????lol That is some funny shiznit. They bumped Olberman's azz to show him that he was not running anything. Olbermann is a damn entertainer just like O'reily, Hannity, etc.......

BTW: Palin is not a news anchor nor has she ever claimed to be.

BTW: Palin is not a news anchor nor has she ever claimed to be.

For once we find ourselves in complete agreement ITM.

I watch a real news outlet Comedy Central

I don't suppose mean old Sean went off the wagon and called the dude a SLUT?

And for the 1000th time watch MSNBC - they really need your support. Why do you hate MSNBC DBO?

a least you are smart than Hannity and Palin, right DBO? Smarter, but perhaps a tad less successful.

Buzz seems to watch a lot of Hannity. I'm sure Sean appreciates the ratings boost.

He's far from an idiot DBO. He makes more in one year than you and I both will make in a lifetime!! He is a paid shill and a well-compensated propagandist for a giant media empire with tentacles spanning continents.

Fox is an immensely sophisticated, disciplined, coordinated, powerful behemoth that has the power to shape perception, history and install presidents and Prime Ministers.

They organize rallies, marshal their troops to focused action, hand out talking points, collect a stable of busty, leggy beauties to purvey their gospel, and they have brought about the fall of ACORN, the resignation of government officials (Shirley something). They don't report the news, they make it.

We here in the "reality-based community" have nothing like it. I think Progressives, about 5-7 years ago are just getting started, but we lag waaaaay behind in scope, method, technique and utter sophistication of message presentation and promulgation.

As stated above, they are so effective that they are a political force, not just a "news" agency. They and the republican party are integrated as one organic mass devoted to the destruction of anything Democratic, to a jihadic level. To them, destroying Democrats isn't just politically expedient,....it is an absolute, all-consuming moral imperative.

Those damn, evil republicans.

So tell us Greg, was Acorn not sophisticated, disciplined, powerful? Certainly the Sierra Club is not, nor is the SEIU.

Yeah, just Fox. Making up the news all day long.

JoAnnaSmith1

"Buzz seems to watch a lot of Hannity. I'm sure Sean appreciates the ratings boost."

Not sure about the ratings. I have heard his are down by about 30%. But, the reason I DO listen is- I just love humor. Hell, why do you think I read you and the Spanker, each day??

"Smarter, but perhaps a tad less successful."

Yep- just like I'm a tad less successful than Michael Moore. Makes him a true gem, I take it?

DBO I just hope you are a TAD less fat than Mr. Moore.

But to the point of this discussion I was not calling Mr. Moore stupid. I disagree with the load, but he is not stupid.

You do see were you argument/response missed the mark, right Drive By? Sure you did, but you went with what you had at the moment. How precious. :)

Nope- splain it to me.

You sit at your keyboard and do that, while I jump in the ol' trusty steed, and listen to Hannity, for the 2nd day in a row, ignore what went down in NY 26, so he can enlighten me about the Muslim Brotherhood and how photoshopping together a book cover is a sin.

Enjoy.

See you tomorrow my man. Love you some Hannity.

you know - Matthews is also on now. Come on give him some DBO love. He needs it. Bad.

Spanky

Do you ever just state your opinion on the story. Every time I log on you have the Don Rickles routine going on. I sometimes find it amusing, but I would like to know how you really feel.

Naw - Big Ed loves all women, even the slutty republican ones. Said so his own damn self in that candid apology.

Calling a woman a SLUT in not anti-woman, is it?

But I'm with you JAS1 - can't wait until DWS is on Big Ed's show again.

We see how the "Progressive" pro-woman men treat their women. Bill, Al, Johnny Edwards.

Nothing but love! For the other woman. I'm sure Debs Schultz speaks highly of these "gentleman" in her party.

Don't forget about the Frenchy head of the IMF. Pure socialist. Pure hatered of women. To him they are only puppets to be raped.

I absolutely loved the video of little Timmy Geitner's comments/denials. Oh My!

Of course the main difference between democrats who cheat on their wife's and republicans (Newt, Livingston, Ensign, Sanford, Vitter, Craig, and a host of others) is hypocrisy Pretending to hold the moral high ground in order to get the vote of the "moral majority"

We see how the "Progressive" pro-woman men treat their women. Bill, Al, Johnny Edwards.

So tell us how many female presidential candidates were put forth by the GOP JoannSmith1?

Pat - cheating is cheating is bad. Or did the Frog have high ground over the African Illegal alein he tried to rape?

Greg - are you saying Hillary was a woman? Cause someone said just the other day here that her balls were bigger than Obama's. I think that may DQ her.

Spanky. I am not sure how the actions of a man accused of rape, exonerates the peccadillo's of a whole host of conservative right wing republicans on the christian right?

Nice of you to concede my point spank.

Greg in Detroit

I was hoping to catch you on line so I could wish you a belated "Happy Anniversary."

Spanky is a child in an adult's body.

@JoannaSmith1---conservatives never do or say anything disrespectful to women, right?

Oh thanks in advance Bev, but it wasn't my anniversary. My wife and I were married on July 3rd.

Daaayumm!

I'm tossing out so many interrogatives here, but no response from the right side of the aisle. Spanky? JoannaSmith? Anybody?

Isn't anyone going to come out of the corner tonight? Geez!

"We are not changing Sarah Palin’s status,” said Bill Shine, FOX News' executive vice president for programming"

What a coincidence - neither are we, the voters.

Look, I think Sarah Palin is dumber than a 3rd grader who has not made an unscripted comment in months. Regardless of what you think of Fox, her position there is not as a news person. She appears on opinion shows and only on opinion shows. She's there for her opinion (for whatever that's worth) and not a news anchor. She attracts viewers. She increases ratings. Some people would actually vote for her. She has not declared for any office. Chris Matthews has said publicly that he was considering a run for the Senate from Pa. He's still there. It's not about integrity it's about entertainment and ratings. How is this even a topic for discussion except for self promotional reasons by MSNBC.

Greg? You listening?

I would tend to agree with Groucho. She appears on "opinion",....and hers is every bit as valid as mine.

Of course a ham sandwich could give a more insightful opinion than Palin, and would cost less. I think Olberman was a polarized shill too, but his mistake was not being as well-funded. Canned by the "Liberal" media.

Oooops,.......did I say that out loud? I don't think Olbie ever put palm trees in Minnesota though. Just a feeling I got.

Yer missing some pretty decent cleavage, Patrick.

DOB. Sounds like Murdoch's British tabloids.

So silly Greg. Sadly, in a funny ha, ha kinda of way.

And neither is the UAW, right my man?

And neither is the UAW, right my man?

Nope. Not by my standards. So many missed opportunities. Want an example? Fair nuf'. How bout this?

If I were the UAW I would have a string of semi trucks loaded with food, blankets, medical supplies, tents, fuel, baby formula, bottled water,....etc, and I would be trucking it down to Alabama, Missouri, Texas and all of the anti-Union states. I would have the trucks blazoned with"UAW" letters 15 feet tall.

My volunteers would be wearing "The UAW Cares" T-shirts and passing out aid to all of the people that wanted to see the UAW dead and buried during the bankruptcy. I would send experts to help them coordinate damage/insurance claims. I would buy airtime with local media and spread good will, show warm and fuzzy spots depicting the good that Unions can do.

Propaganda at its best.

But do you see any of this from the UAW? Nope,.....crickets. Ya gotta fight the battle on all fronts, and the UAW just isn't that sophisticated.

Well than man up and demand your union dues go for those causes.

Except we know the union bosses already have plans for those dues.

Again, so sad in an Ha, Ha, unfunny way.

You can't spend dues money like that it is illegal (you already know that Spanky), you would have to collect funds separately and voluntarily for that purpose. Every union in my area has been doing incredible charity work since the tornado in Alabama, and the needs have increased greatly with Joplin. These are silly, stupid, uneducated, working stiffs to you Spanky, but understand they are good and kind people, many are working reduced hours and struggle to make ends meet in their own homes but they give what they can. I saw guys who were laid off fill their pickups with donated food and bottled water we passed the hat on a job-site just to come up with the gas money for them to drive to Alabama. These are the people you make sport of, these are "the sad little lives" you mock and are quick to tell us how happy you are not to be like. I had a guy bring me his dead brothers tool pouch (car accident) and said his brother would want them donated to a man who lost his and needed some. These are the people who are stupid and sad enough to take a loan on a car. They have as much respect for people like you Spanky as you do for them - none, however the difference is they would help you if you needed help, they are just stupid that way, isn't that just sad, so so sad.

Spank? You there pootsie?

Sorry my man - was at happy hour.

Uh, UAW rules!. Except they are not in the entertainment business, so no none of that, but how is that relevant? Organized? Yep. Militant in fact.

Greg - live better, work union, right? Oh yeah. But don't fret - if you'd just kick down some more dues I think the good old UAW would just love to get into the Bis.

In fact I do live better Spanks. Comparable Sci. Labs guys on the outside make $10 - $12 / hour less than I do. No pensions. No free medical benefits. No 401 K. No company stock program (which is on its way for me), no vehicle discount, no 3 1/2 weeks of paid vaycay, no paid holidays.

At CTC we have two onsite barbers, a hair salon, worksite massage, two doctor's offices, a post office, a gymnasium with trainers, a pharmacy, a leather/garment repair service, shoe shine service, etc...

Our 4 onsite cafeterias feature Italian, Thai, panini sandwiches, a Sushi chef, hamburgers, deli, pizza, and a full salad bar. Specialty menus include rosemary chicken, or a fennel relish, baby carrots sauted, Indian quisine, Middle Eastern, sea food, you name it.

CTC (Chrysler Tech Center) is the 2nd largest office complex on the planet. I have a small bike to get around there, a cell when I'm on call. I need it as the place is probably 3/4 of a mile on a side.

Yup. Union life is good my man. Any of you in non-RTW states should consider forming or joining one, as Union life is indeed better as Spanks correctly points out.

Nuthin to say Spank? No response? Thought not.

Okey dokey boss - it's going home time. Gotta go the Wal-Mart and get some supplies for the big Havasu weekend. Hoping for lots and lots of drunken, happy fun!

Good news for us both [I note that all the "profit" Chrysler made was off gas guzzlers - bad, non AL GORE approved Chrysler] gas is down to $3.99 here in Cali, so should be ONLY about $#.50 in Az. Since I'll need about 300 gallons - SUV, boat, jet-skis that a nice little savings. More Sailor Jerry for me!

Dammit Greg, when you all coming out with a hybrid? They are soooo shiny.

Spanky:

You call those lakes boy? Where me and Feisty hail from we call those stagnant, fetid puddles ;o]

Yup. Chrysler is makin' moolah again! GM,...like gang busters! Putting another shift on to meet the demand for the Volt. Hamtramyck plant is running 3 shifts 24/7. Adding ANOTHER 4,600 jobs. Salaried positions are posted at www.gm.com if you are interested Spanks. Here is your chance to get a real job and actually work for a living.

Michigan is looking to add another 68,900 jobs this year, and 62,200 positions in 2012 according to an economist for Comerica Bank, N.A. Michigan's unemployment rate dropped again down to 10.3% and continuing to fall. "Michigan appears to be in the early stages of a sustained economic recovery", says George Fulton UofM economist. A little parting gift from Bush, Obama, and our previous DEMOCRATIC governor Jennifer M. Granholm, once voted the 2nd hottest governor according to Playboy magazine.

I am working on some visionary products that will be coming to a state near you Spanky. I will be performing suspension measurements on a prototype vehicle tomorrow morning. Chrysler is aiming squarely at least 40 m.p.g., and I expect we'll hit it, and surpass it. Can't tell you any more than that or I'd have to smoke you,....and you know how good we are at that here in the Murder Capital. ;o]

President Obama is visiting Chrysler's Toledo plant on Friday of next week, and Michigan's Democratic Congressman Gary Peters invited Sen. John McCain to come to the event to see what Democrats (and George Bush) have wrought.

"So that you could see first hand how they were able to prove you wrong."

All in all, a good time to be a non-republican Spanks,...a good time indeed.

I think you are just bitter at Olbie making you his woman every day Alan.

I can picture you in fishnet stockings wearing a ball gag.

BWAHAHAA!!!

Alan W...FOX loves viewers/bloggers like you. Olbermann and MSNBC are a threat to you since what they report is the TRUTH! Go over to the FOX page where your hatred and lies are welcome.
