Rosie Gal Pal Replaced By Dog

Yeah, it's a cheap shot. I feel bad. But only because I like dogs so much. Besides, it was time to bring back my Rosie O'Donnell favorite hit. See below.

O'Donnell confirmed: "She does! She burrows in the bed right next to me."

And, when asked who "sometimes looks after her," O'Donnell explained her four children all fight over caring for the pup, which she got three days after Carpenter left. "What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog."

Hey, this took a while to make. And it still ticks the feminazis off.

Updated: Wow, I'm A Gangsta! I Rock!

Update: A translation of the voice in the ad here. Scroll down. Still dumb and twisted.

I don't know why Feministe is so upset. The game isn't that hard. Dayum, I knocked her around so well I scored 100% Gangsta first time out. Not quite as challenging as PacMac. But she mouths off so much, it makes it at least somewhat enjoyable.

I was curious as to what the end message was going to be, so I kept “hitting the bitch” thinking after one or two times there would be some sort of lesson in all of this. But… no. You have to hit the woman like 15 times as she cries and touches her face and staggers backward and is bruised and bloody. It’s horrific. When you finally reach “100% Gangsta,” she falls over.

Oh, that must be it. Fifteen times?? Chick must swing like a gurl. I had her down with about 5 or 6, including a good back hand. Now, that takes some skill. You can't land any body shots though. See, that way, the bruises are mostly hidden. You have to nail the broad square in the face. But the blood makes her less attractive, so hitting her again isn't such a big deal.

Warning: Allegedly some anti-domestic violence group in Denmark developed the on line ap to fight domestic violence. I can't find a source for the campaign. If that's true, the action group must be about as sick as half the wife beaters in the world. That is one very twisted game.

Yes, I did score 100% Gansta in far less than 15 shots. The imagery is not pleasant to see. You've been warned. I guess that's the point. But I still find the concept sick as a serious effort at anything.

MSNBC's Scarborough Reportedly Moving On

While being billed as a national day of service in line with the Obama administration's volunteer-ism agenda, people in the know insist that on November 21st Mourning Joe host Joe Scarborough will be taking a test to enter Starbuck's employee training program for counter help at a Starbuck's location just around the corner from his current MSNBC studio. Scarborough was reported to have discreetly slipped into the location last week after MSNBC executives informed him they thought he might want to start looking for a new job.

Unconvinced he was able to pour their many flavors of coffee at a reasonable clip without becoming confused, Starbuck's manager Van Jones insisted Joe take the standard qualifying test prior to being granted a 90 day probationary period. Joe is said to be thrilled that his benefits will kick in after the probation period assuming he goes on to join Starbucks full-time.

In 2008 alone, Starbucks partners and customers in the U.S. and Canada volunteered 246,000 hours of service toward our goal to contribute over 1 million hours of community service by 2015. We're off to a great start! As we continue to work toward this goal, we will look for creative opportunities to gain wider awareness of the importance of volunteerism and giving back to local communities. With that in mind, we are proud to announce that we are working with MSNBC's "Morning Joe".

On November 21st, participate in the Brewing Together Day of Service, co-sponsored by Starbucks and "Morning Joe." Make a difference on this day, by logging into the HandsOn Network, and finding a local volunteer opportunity in your area.

In tandem with the event, we are introducing the newly updated Starbucks Gold Coast Blend®: Morning Joe Edition, an intense, full-bodied blend that showcases our finest Latin American and Asia-Pacific coffees. Available exclusively where you buy groceries this bold, flavorful coffee is a fitting accompaniment to conversation, whether around the kitchen table, on the set of "Morning Joe", or during a break while you're volunteering in your community.

William Shatner Does Levi Johnston

Ha. Father in name only Levi Johnston claims he was "Shat" on by William Shatner for this bit. Get used to it, punk. It won't be the last time. It isn't even the first time. Your handlers do it to you every day, you're just too freaking stoopid to notice.

Good Lord

So I see this tweet about Miley Cyrus saying Twitter should be banned. Okay, pathetic confession - I've never actually seen the girl before this video, though obviously I know the name. So, I look her up on Wiki, as I knew she was a kid. She's 17?

In between trying to pick a food particle out of her teeth with her fingers, she tells how her latest song was actually only cut for her clothing line and, like, um, like, like, um, her movie is coming out and she's trying to reach an older audience at this point in her career. And, well, college might be cool if she ever has time to, um, like you know, check it out and stuff.

American popular culture is so upside down and freaking screwed. And I got old. I don't know which sux worse sometimes. ; )

PS - If she isn't careful, she'll be a wealthy fat dumb ass by thirty-five, assuming she makes it past the crank use in her early middle years. I don't care how grounded she may or may not be. But I do hope it works out better than that.

The Horror Of National Health Care

What were they thinking? Liberal ideology, or a ploy to garner some headlines? Both, probably. But talk about insipid stupidity, at least in terms of selling health care reform. Obviously, it simply provokes jokes comparing reform to horror and makes the topic totally un-serious.

Hey, maybe the filmmaker is a closeted Conservative?

Mr. Jigsaw goes to Washington in “Saw VI.”

The demented serial killer stumps for health-care reform in this odd political turn by the torture franchise.

John Kramer (Tobin Bell), the Jigsaw killer, slipped this mortal coil in “Saw III,” yet he continues to gobble up screen time.

In flashbacks, Kramer reveals that a battle with Umbrella Insurance over his cancer treatment is what created his blood lust.

Soupy Sales: The Naked Woman Prank

For those who might not have gotten what I meant below about Soupy Sales being one of the first edgy guys, there's an interesting insight to his show at this link. If you click on the image it plays the original naked woman prank that went out live. Some old black and white frontal nudity. Scroll down for image and details.

Let me let you in on a little secret. Lunch with Soupy Sales, Detroit’s most popular TV kid’s show, wasn’t really a kid’s show at all. Oh sure, Soupy always reminded the kiddies to take their vitaminnies and eat Silvercup Bread, “the best bread in Dee-troit,” but the show always relied on more adult oriented humor. In a 1958 Detroit Times article Sales even admitted, “There’s really no message to this show. It’s actually a kid’s show for adults.”

Soupy and his straight man, puppeteer Clyde Adler, were basically a modern day vaudeville team. Their routines borrowed heavily from old school burlesque and yellowed copies of Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang, a series of bawdy post WWI joke books. The humor was ancient and corny but it was new to the kids. The fact that Soupy occasionally snuck in risqué material got the older kids and adults watching too.

Soupy Sales Dead At 83

What a life. I didn't realize he fought at Okinawa and had a journalism degree. In some ways he may have been the original edgy, or truly out there guy, certainly when it came to doing a kids show. But his comedy was based on old routines. He lived quite a life.

The possibility of humor dogged Sales from the start. He was born Milton Supman on Jan. 28, 1926, in the North Carolina backwater of Franklinton. The Supmans were the only Jews in town. Sales' father ran a dry goods store that sold sheets to the Ku Klux Klan.

Soupy Sales, a comic with a gift for slapstick who attained cult-like popularity in the 1960s with a pie-throwing routine that became his signature, has died. He was 83.

Sales had numerous ailments and died Thursday at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, said Kathy O'Connell, a longtime friend.

As the star of "The Soupy Sales Show," he performed live on television for 13 years in Detroit, Los Angeles and New York before the program went into syndication in the United States and abroad.

Rush: If Fox Is Talk Radio, CNN Is Kiddie Porn

lol Actually he calls MSNBC pornography and CNN child porn in a very short clip.

MSNBC: Sorry, Reverend Black Guy

I don't know what's more priceless in this short clip via Gawker - Jackson's eyes dropping down marking his displeasure with being called Sharpton, the indignant, scolding manner in which he brought it to the anchor's attention, or her patronizing, almost motherly response in apology.

Oh man.I think his tone knocked her for a loop and she was caught between being testy over his making a big deal out of it, or realize she was playing with offending one of the nation's most notable race baiters. Nah, she wasn't rising to that bait. He sure is arrogant for such an oppressed fellow.
