LOEB meeting 3-17-10 -- Heads are exploding at FDL edition
Thank you, Dennis.

And in other news, Brett Baier is a disrespectful SOB.

22. It's one thing to challenge politicians on what they say,
it's another to keep interrupting and talking over them and not let them speak. That's just rude and unintelligible.

37. Comment on last commercial break:
--Anyone else notice that only recently did the Activia yogurt commercials stop with the bit about how people oftentimes eat stuff that's not good for them over the holidays and Activia can help undo the damage to your system? I swear they ran those ads for two solid months. I'm like, "How long can they go on telling people they can make up now for pigging out at Christmastime?"

--Those ads Tweety does for Hardball make me so embarrassed for him. He's bragging about how good he is at doing "gotcha" interviews because he senses when someone's answers don't line up. Yeesh. If you really ARE good at that, you don't BRAG about it like a little kid; you let your work speak for itself. In his case, he's about as tough an interviewer as a high schooler. (Note that Rachel, who actually IS a master of catching guests in a lie, doesn't brag about it on her ads; she just talks modestly about how thrilled she is to have her job.)

On the Activia ad
Edited on Wed Mar-17-10 07:43 PM by Patsy Stone
I like the moment she makes the "I'm cleaning out my intestines as we speak!" hand motion.

On a related note, I don't like Chris' little (cue Orly Taintz!) "Let Me Finish" comments at the end of his show. You know, the one thing I never thought when I was done watching Hardball is, "Gee, I wish I knew what Chris thinks about that."

62. I believe it causes birth defects in very early gestation, so the only danger is if you're preggers.
But the biggest danger is at the point before you even know you're pregnant.

It probably does stuff like create genital "issues" in developing fetuses. Who knows, it may put penises on girls. Or give boys two.

101. Well, if we can trust Wiki, it has the answer:
The teratogenic effect from dutasteride is harmful to male children. Women who are pregnant should not handle the capsules, as inadvertent consumption could cause birth defects of the male fetus. The effect would be similar to 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, where a developing male child is naturally deficient in 5-alpha reductase Type II, and thus unable to synthesize it. As dutasteride blocks the same process, developing males would have a DHT deficiency with its adverse effects as a result of the drug.

In case you're wondering, DHT is what makes XY-fetuses into boys with everything that being a boy entails...so if an XY-chromosomed fetus has a deficiency, it actually doesn't develop two penises, it develops none at all. No prostate either.

Yikes...here's something else Wiki tells us (if it can be trusted)..."Although this is a rare disorder, it is relatively common in the Dominican Republic."

Um...so that means...if you want to go someplace where there are a lot of little boys who look more like little girls...go to the Dominican Republic.

I don't even want to think about what this means re Rush Limbaugh, but I can't help but go there. :scared:

64. You're not kidding.
But boy, FDL has gone hardline anti-Obama lately.

73. I don't even go there any more.
I mean, I understand Jane's interest in getting the best health care reform possible; she's had breast cancer and I know that's part of what drives her on this.

But for heaven sakes! Like Rep. Woolsey said, you can't add a public option to nothing!

And as I always say, you can't start from where you want to be; you have to start from where you are.

75. Exactly.
Sometimes I think we in the clubhouse are almost the only sane ones. Jane, if anyone, should understand something is better than nothing. I do understand wanting something better, but when it's obvious we're not getting it, we have to go with the flow.

84. Yep. And when the initial bill is passed, then we work to get
more added to it to make it better.

THAT'S where the energy needs to go as soon as it's signed. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that folks like Jane may pack up their marbles and go home.

86. I know
I'm so afraid of losing them all for 2012. I don't know where they'll go, but it's scary. I like Jane, but I really think the left wing of our party has gone way far left and immovable.

92. Exactly! That's why I like it that Dennis came out and said he
would vote for it. I like him, and I like a lot of his principles, but even he finally realized that the bill will be a starting place.

Sometimes not being willing to compromise can hurt a lot of people. Jane needs to think about that.

97. I totally agree
Did you read Nancy's blog yesterday? I told her I was pissed at Jane and all those guys acting like that and it inspired her to write her post. Check it out at http://www.nancyskinnerlive.com.

67. Same here.
I hit the mute. Can't stand that woman's voice. When they bring out the "tragefied woman" voiceover, you know they're appealing strictly to emotion in order to bypass your brains.

to appeal to people's fears.

72. Wounded egos.
So, who filled out their brackets? I'm afraid this year there may be a scary situation in the Clubhouse. For the very first time, the Rev and I may come to blows. You know she's gonna be waving that flag for Duke, but I gotta stand up for my beloved 'Cuse.

82. Sounds like I'll be watching the vote in the House on Sunday
The CBO didn't come out fast enough and now it looks like Sunday will be the day, as long as they report out tomorrow. I wonder if the Prez will delay his trip another day.

79. All the so-called "experts" don't think Duke will get to the final four.
With the obvious exception of Dickie V.

We'll see, Berry. I'm filling out my brackets tonight.

89. The Prez is 1-2 with the Clubhouse tonight.
Yes, he CAN spell Syracuse.

No, Keith won't be happy he didn't pick Cornell (even though he likes them).

And he didn't pick Duke to win.

How about you, Bot? How far do we go to support our beloved Ohio U.? They're playing Georgetown first round...uh, um... :eyes: How about that Ohio State, huh????

104. Well, in my brackets, they end up playing 'Cuse for the title.
But the 'Cuse win. What can I say, I'm a cockeyed optimist, baybee!

91. Must be the same clinic that did that last year.
They discharge men with a free bag of frozen peas.

(Er, maybe "discharge" wasn't the best word to use there.)

102. Here's my letter:
Really, Chris?
Count me as another one of those loyal Duke fans. Who do you think is gonna beat Duke in the first couple of rounds? I think they'll do fine until 'Nova, which has me a bit concerned, but I also think Duke will make it to the Final Four.
Usually I love you on Countdown, but today, you disappointed me. I forgive you.
