Listening to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is a lovely way to wake up. Listening to anything by Arrowsmith is not ( Read more... )

arrowsmith? or did you mean aerosmith? ;)

there's vey little that itunes does better than any other program, other than being proprietary-linked to ipods. it succeeds because it's at least "very good" at most things. oh, and because of the aforementioned forced link to ipods.

i like rachel maddow when keith has her on his show, but i don't like her when she substitutes for him on his show. (tho i acknowledge that a good portion of it is "i want my keith, dammit, not somebody else!") how different is she as the host of her own show? i haven't watched it yet.

Yes, I did mean Aerosmith. :)

I like Rachel as a substitute for Keith, but I have the same reaction you do: "Damit, I want my KEITH." But I'll stick around for her, when I'll sometimes dump out if it's David Schuester filling in for him.

She is different, her show is different from Keith's. I'm not sure how to describe how, though. More irreverent. More lyrical. Less pedantic. Less self-important. And I don't mean any of those as criticisms of Keith.

I'll explain new toys when I'm less lubricated with small batch bourbon. :)

So far, my favorite "substitute" for Keith has been Alex Witt. She's got the closest sense of humor/snark and energy to his that I've seen. Alas, she's got the early-morning live news gig these days so I gather it's kinda hard to get her to come back in. ;)

Yeah, it'd be tough to do both gigs.

I'm curious to see if they'll sometimes pinch-hit for each other, doing, in essence, a 2-hour broadcast when the other is away. Course, you can't groom new talent that way.

"Boo the guinea pig loves Romaine lettuce, but she will no longer deign to eat Iceberg lettuce. Lord is she spoiled!" No she has the concept of nutrition.

"I've been feeling really good most days, so why does it seem like I'm getting less than half as much done as I did this last Fall?" Ya gots thats Michael Jordan's disease. He feels sick so he concentrates and gets 70 points.

Keith missing. What he wants to take vacation. Just like those slacking liberals at MSNBC.

O'Reily would never do that, man of the people that he is. He gets up in his one room tar paper shack, hops on his official Buck Rodgers bike(it was his grandpa's, O'reily don't waste money) and comes right to work.

Boo - nutrition: Sure, make excuses for her. :)

Having Michael Jordan's disease: there is a great deal of truth to that.

Keith - vacation/O'Reily - tar paper shack: Maybe if O'Reily took an occasional vacation, went on a trip (not the pharmaceutical kind), his brain wouldn't overheat so badly and he wouldn't say such stupid stuff. Maybe if he shelled out a bit of money for some wheels and a decent place to live he'd feel better about his own life and wouldn't be so surly, mean and self-righteous. If only.
