From Sarasota, Florida...........
Limbaugh Rock! (Music by Chubby Checker, new lyrics by dirtroad and JLongs)
He's on every radio
and he has a TV show
Tells folks what they want to hear,
so they all stand up and cheer
When he starts his Limbaugh rap,
spewing all his Limbaugh crap,
To his ditto boys and girls
all around the Limbaugh world.
First he spreads his Limbaugh lies
With his Limbaugh rally cries
Feminazi, Hillary
He's as mean as he can be
Limbaugh have a body ache?
Oxycontin he will take
He says addicts should be crushed
Only if you're name's not Rush.
la la la etc (instead of instrumental break)
Get yourself a radio
Find the station where he blows
Break the tuner off the front
And you'll be a Limbaugh grunt
Ditto this and ditto that
We hate all the democrats
All around the Limbaugh land
Everyone's repub-li-can!
Don't move that tuner dial
You'll be a a Limbaugh-phile!
How low will he go????
Come to de Islands o' Snark, in d' Extended Entry section........(Swoosh!)........Right NOW! (GONG!)

DOC'S BAD JOKE OF THE WEEK:
(In the yellow box so you can avoid it and not miss anything else)
The cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh Amarillo theatre. When the usher came by and noticed this he whispered to the cowboy, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The cowboy groaned but didn't budge. The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager. The cowboy just groaned.
The usher marched briskly back up the aisle. In a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's you're name?"
"Sam," the cowboy moaned.
"Where ya from, Sam?"
With pain in his voice Sam replied.... "The balcony."
Orange Turd Blossom Special:
CHEERS to David Gregory of NBC News. On a recent guest-host stint on Hardball with Chris "Tweety" Matthews, Gregory tied together Karl Rove's lies with the overall deception in the runup to the Iraq War. He's shaping up to be one MSM guy who needs a regular gig--maybe Tweety can stay on vacation a few more months.
JEERS to the Republican talking points taking hold. An otherwise intelligent man I know (he owns his own IT business) wrote me this about the Rove affair:
Hey Andrew, what's you're latest take now on thew Wilson/Plame affair? Wilson admitted today that his wife was indeed NOT covertly at the time her name came out. That of course means there was nothing to leak in the first place. Personally, I think the big question now is why we spent all this money on this ridiculous investigation of a non-crime over the past two years. I also think the entire affair points-up how politically incompetent the Bush people are sometimes. The whole episode caused them to react twice without digging very deep into the matter. First, there was the "retraction" of the famous 16 words in the SOTU address, then getting behind the investigation of the "leak". Turns out the 16 words were accurate after all, and there was no crime to investigate. Their knee-jerk reactions in both cases make them look inept.
Tphhhht, says I.
CHEERS to critical mass, part I. Time and Newsweek lead this week with the Rove story, and David Broder, aka Mr. Conventional Wisdom, has written a column not just on Rove but concerning the dangers of using anonymous sources. Is this what a "non-story" looks like?
JEERS to RNC chairman, and Turd Blossom protégé', "Larry `Bud' " Mehlman. On Meet the Press yesterday (transcript here), he got schooled not just by John Podesta, but by Tim "Pumpkinhead" Russert himself, and was reduced to laughing at some of his own talking point lines.
CHEERS to critical mass, part II. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune ties together the Rove leaks and the pre-Iraq war campaign to justify the invasion in an op-ed and in former editor Waldo Proffitt's weekly column. That popping sound you may have heard is the sound of our local wingnuts' heads exploding.
CHEERS to front page comebacks. Former dKos frontpager kid oakland`s latest,
be unreasonable, is a fiery and passionate call to arms to not let the Shrubbies get away with Rove/DSM. If you haven't read it, go now--and better yet, use it as a guide for ACTION.
The Rest:
JEERS to adoption wrong-headedness. As reported on Atrios, a Mississippi adoption agency that recieves money from the state's "Choose Life" license plate fees will not place children with Roman Catholic families because it conflicts with the agency's "Statement of Faith". So let's see, we'd rather have kids in foster care than in loving homes with non-Protestant heterosexual couples. Can't argue with that logic.
CHEERS to Nelson Mandela, celebrating his 87th birthday today. As the father of the modern, integrated South Africa, he is one of the greatest people of our time--which means that Shrub is not even fit to be in the same room as his shoes, let alone polish them.
JEERS to religious wing nuts that don't go away. As reported on Americablog, Justice Sunday II is scheduled for August 14th, to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court justice nomination. The lineup features the usual suspects, but hey, this time they're inviting....wait for it......a Jewish speaker (as yet unnamed) as well. May they throw their backs patting themselves on the back.
CHEERS and farewell to a beloved Mote Marine Lab dolphin, Vixen,, an Atlantic rough-toothed dolphin, now on her way to a new home at Gulf World in Panama City, Florida. She turned out to be a very friendly and people-oriented dolphin, often greeting visitors by putting her head on the side of the lagoon and clicking at them. We'll miss her, of course, but I`m sure she`ll create new legions of fans at Gulf World..
CHEERS to the original Spaceman Spiff. Marine Corps combat pilot, astronaut, and later Senator from Ohio John Glenn celebrates his 84th birthday today. He was the first American to orbit the earth (Mercury "Friendship 7") in 1962, becoming a national hero. Glenn retired from public life in 1998, well before the Mercury Astronauts for Truth could dispute his space flight achievement.
CHEERS to J.K. Rowling, for the opening paragraph of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which appears to smack down Shrub:
It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that was slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind. He was waiting for a call from the President of a far distant country, and between wondering when the wretched man would telephone, and trying to suppress unpleasant memories of what had been a ver long, tiring, and difficult week, there was not much space in his head for anything else.
BTW, ten million copies of this book were sold on opening day.
The floor is yours! What do y`all have to cheer and jeer about today?
