I misread that and thought it said 'Champaign Yeast' and thought maybe you were getting into homebrewing or winemaking.

So is this gonna be our "simulcomment" thread?

Ace: Ask her what she and other Brits thinks of the pc crowd refusing to call these terrorists what they are: terrorists.

Another great lineup. Well done

What's this lame newshour thing going on right now.

I hate, hate, hate journalist speaking cadences.

ahhh, finally.

Hey, can't we pin the Plame thing on Norm Mineta so the president can fire him?

C'mon, pick up the pace here, Ace. Karol, smack him on the ass every time he says "Um."

...

Nah, he'd probably enjoy that.

Apparently, Homo Cola is caffeine free.

I can't believe Ace is throwing out these completely unrealistic ideas as if they might actually happen. A Christian preacher could be thrown out of his church if he advocated terrorism because of thousands of years of religious dogma condemning it and a long Western tradition against it, as well as original sources, such as the Bible and papal bulls. Moslems who throw out their imams for preaching terror - well, what are they going to fall back on? The Koran? Good luck there. Moslem tradition and history? Nothing but terror. They're going to have to invent an entirely new tradition. It's not as easy as you're making it sound, man.

Ask her if she's a goer, nudge nudge, wink wink, saynomore, say. no. more.

I don't get it, Dave.

Ace, your Brit accent is terrible. Never. Do. That. Again.

3000
53
or only 1
IT PISSES ME OFF!!

This is the point, I think; this is the question that leftists don't want to answer: how many more is it going to take? How many dead bodies? How many of our fellow citizens have to die before you will support good against evil?

It's not as easy as you're making it sound, man.

Exactly. That's why I'm so argumentative today. Ace is waaaaay too hopeful.

Talk more, Karol. You're letting Ace have the mike too much, and you know you're the draw for me. :)

Ha ha ha! Hewitt's a wonderful guest. I haven't heard anyone use the word "poltroon" in years. It's a great word.

Old Monty Python skit.

On topic though, the answer to your how many more will it take question, is there is no number. No matter how many more die it's all our fault, it's Bush's fault and his damned war. If the leftist was sitting on his knees in front of Zarqawi waiting for the haircut, he'd blame Bush. They've ignored the truth for 15 years, and if they have the capacity to ignore what's already happened, they can ignore more.

Or if you prefer a more concise answer, they don't believe in evil and they never will.

Dave - I agree. The left's recalcitrance is rooted in ideology, not in facts. I think it's only when they suffer personally at the hands of the Moslems that those individuals affected and perhaps some of their immediate circle might "convert," so to speak.

Is Hugh really bitching about the fact that the WH press corps asked McClellan about Rove yesterday? Weak.

"Rove? Rove who? Don't you know there's a war on?"

Ace: There is no rule that someone who gets online and expresses their opinion must reveal their name.

Thank you, pookie!

The left understands evil only too well. Thats why they excoriate the west. They know they can call W a nazi day and night, and no one will slit their throat as they walk through the park. They know that islamists will, therefore they will do everything possible to not make them mad. They are gutless cowards. Plain and simple.

I bet when ace is drunk and at a bar, everyone looks good.

Grom, are you saying that no leftist honestly believes President Bush is more dangerous than Moslem terrorists? I don't know if I agree with that. Hate can get 10,000 people screaming "War criminal!" at a "peace rally;" I'm not sure if cowardice can get the same results.

Megan, I can see some of them waking up, if they confront it face to face. That's the last thing left I can imagine would work.

Gromulin, I agree they use the word evil, and paint it like tar all day on their idealogical foes. I'm just arguing that evil as a reality is simply not something they embrace. There is no good, there is no evil. Goodness and evil only have meaning in some context. Relevance. That's it.

If you disagree with them, you're "evil".

Ace and Karol: You hit your stride only towards the end of the show. Why is that?

Megan,
Good point. I'm speaking more to the roots of their sickness. They have to channel the displaced energy created by their cowardice into something to make them feel good about themselves since narcissism and elitism is at the core of their philosphy. By channeling their fear into hatred they feel like tough guys. Truth to Power! Ward Churchill anyone?

Dave, no argument on the professed relativism. My point is that it is not rooted in their elite philosophy, as they would have you beleive. It is in the fear that by taking a side against a truly evil entity, they expose themselves to retribution. Cowardice, pure and simple.

Grom, agreed. That sounds much more likely.

I think Karol & Ace need to cut the # of guests down to 1 per show, for 20/30 minutes max, and find their own vibe real soon. I like their byplay and they've got great chemistry. That needs to be built on rather than being taken for granted.

Gromulin, yeah. I'm slow today, still at work. I see your point.

Megan,

We sort of want to do that but the thing is we keep only getting a guest booked very late. Hewitt only confirmed yesterday, but there was a snag, and only REALLY confirmed today.

This sort of screws up our preparation and I wind up feeling uncomfortable trying to carry a half hour on my own. When I get uncomfortable I go back to wanting another guest.

We shouldn't... we can't just ask questions and all that. We should have our own analysis time, but they way this thing keeps working out we're always a bit behind on prep because we don't have a guest confirmed until Monday.

Maybe next week I'll just prepare as if I have no guest at all.

don't you goosesteppers have a Bund meeting to get to? Or a cross-burning?

Hillary will own you trogolodytes!

That would be for the best, I think. You guys work really well together, and after all, we tune in to listen to you two; you're the reason the show exists in the first place. The guests are just an added bonus. The bonus is nice, but it shouldn't cut into the main reason we're listening.

The beginning with the "take it in the can" quote and the solemn avowals that neither of you found it funny AT ALL, nope, can't laugh at that, horrid joke - it was sort of shaky in execution but an absolutely perfect example of what I'm talking about in principle. You guys have a real strong point there, so put it to work.

O/T - for some reason, I find this strangely hypnotic. It would've been better if they'd included frontal animations and her hair and flesh moved realistically as well, rather than just a basic skeletal setup. Little yelps and squeals (recorded by Karol, of course) and changing expressions as she ran into the bubbles would've been neat too. She could say "Whee!" if she fell uninterrupted for a while, changing to a shriek if it lasted too long. An aggrieved "Hey!" if you picked her up with the cursor, stuff like that. I also want the option to change her bikini and her hair.

...

I'm probably putting entirely too much thought into this.

Brad, you are a credit to dementia.

My "trogolodytes" are not for sale, not even to Hill.

Hewitt only confirmed yesterday, but there was a snag, and only REALLY confirmed today.

I guess it was b/c of that thing he did with Wonkette.

This sort of screws up our preparation and I wind up feeling uncomfortable trying to carry a half hour on my own. When I get uncomfortable I go back to wanting another guest.

Of course you don't want to look unprepared to your guests, but Hewitt is the type of guest that has no problem filling airspace. Either do you, normally. But frankly, today it seemed like you were both dragging your asses.

we're always a bit behind on prep because we don't have a guest confirmed until Monday.

What happened to finding a producer/booker?

Maybe next week I'll just prepare as if I have no guest at all.

A good night's sleep might help.

Megan,

Good suggestions on the bubble babe.

Too much thought? Possibly. If you're happy burning the engrams on it then who are we to say no?

Karol is a brainwasher. Watch out. Did you ask her about the 14 million, "Ace"?

Jason, please send me my check.
