vbspurs said...: Wow, I'm glad I checked back! Was about to post an OT breaking news bulletin, about a second Japanese reactor failing. Gulp.

Good luck, will be listening.

Palladian said...: "Yes Palladian, she does have that Andy Warhol in drag look working for her."

Keep tellin' yourself that, buddy, if it makes you feel better. Man, we've all gotten our hearts broken by falling for someone way out of our league. It'll get better, man, I promise. You'll get back up on that saddle again one day, L.E.; 3/12/11, 5:29 PM
retire05 said...: Hopefully Ann will address the fact that the Fond du Lac police, instead of doing their job of protecting and defending, the police are advising Republican Congressmen to NOT participate in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

That should tell you one of two things: either the Fond du Lac police are aware of reasonable threats made by unionists to the Republicans that should be make public (including arrests of those making the threats) or the police are unwilling to do their job of protecting those Republicans.

One or the other.; 3/12/11, 5:31 PM

One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, April, who created the universe?"

When April didn't stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said, "Very good" and April fell back asleep.

A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Savior," but April didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. 'JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said, "very good," and April fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked April a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F*****G THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR ASS!"

The teacher fainted ... but not before congratulating April on her correct answer.

Last I'd seen containment hadn't failed at the first. You probably know more than I, mum.

Say a prayer for those people.

It used to be the boys would send some guy named No-Nose Calvelli to deliver that kind of message and the cops would usually take offense.

Now the cops are doing the mob's work.

OOOOOOOOOOH. Ann corrects the pronunciation of her name!!; 3/12/11, 5:47 PM

It sounds so funny to me to hear Althouse and Meade called "Ann" and "Lawrence".; 3/12/11, 5:56 PM

I'm glad to hear that, actually. Makes all the crap libs have put me through feel balanced out, somehow.

You guys sound great.; 3/12/11, 5:57 PM
Lincolntf said...: I love Breitbart, but if I called him "Brateburt" all the time, wouldn't he expect me to wise up after the second correction?

Reminds me when folks pronounce it "Breetling" and not "Brightling" for Breitling.

Hey!

TosaGuy,

Great point on Madison liberals think they are the epitome of good.

I thought that was good, too.

I'm still listening - there was a murder/sexual assault at a yoga studio.

Man, that's a liberal town.; 3/12/11, 6:05 PM
Third Coast said...: For amateurs, they done good. Technically though, I suppose AA is a professional yakker.; 3/12/11, 6:10 PM
Ann Althouse said...: About the pronunciation of my last name. People who say it like that are influenced by their knowledge of German. It's a German name. He's pronouncing the "Al" the way you'd pronounce the "Al" in "Al Gore."

It doesn't make so much sense to say it like "all" as in "you all," now, does it? When I pronounce it that way to someone who has to spell it, they assume it begins with "O."; 3/12/11, 6:12 PM
TosaGuy said...: I didn't know that one gal got fired.

I don't think any of these people comprehend that civil disobedience or bad manners sometimes has consequences.

Civil Rights marchers knew they were getting arrested and getting the firehose.

In Madison, this is "civil disobedience" as one big party. Everyone has a hobby. Every city has a common tradition. It Madison, it's protest theater. If there were real arrests and real fines or jail time, or actual consequences for skipping work, then far fewer would write doctor slips, kick in wooden doors, hassle those who disagree with them or fake sick days. It's all a big game and what those in Madison don't realize is the rest of the state sees it for what it really is....spoiled insular children.; 3/12/11, 6:13 PM

Re: Althouse's accent

I get a kick out of the mix of familiar regionalities in Althouse's speech (which jumped out at me starting in podcast days). Her speech definitely has a mix of Delaware and the Midwest (with a strong dose of academic-type, university-town cadence thrown in), all three of which patterns I'm very familiar with.; 3/12/11, 6:21 PM
Lincolntf said...: I (and I assume others) see the "Alt-" part of Althouse as looking like the beginning of "Alternative". If it was spelled Althaus, I would probably (unconsciously) pronounce it the German way, but maybe not.
My own curse is that I have a surname that causes everyone to ask "one M or two?", and they still always screw it up.; 3/12/11, 6:21 PM
PaulV said...: I thought AA's name was pronounced Our House.; 3/12/11, 6:22 PM
reader_iam said...: Meade, on the other hand? No Delaware there. But the speech pattern/accent is likewise oh so familiar.; 3/12/11, 6:24 PM
Unknown said...: Ann doesn't have an accent. Neither do I.

All you people who don't come from around Philadelphia have accents.

So there.

No, he never heard of Breitbart, the guy who broke ACORN.

Of course not.

reader_iam said...: Jay: He was coming up on a hard break, which Meade may not have realized. The Larry Kudlow Show starts at 7 p.m. (eastern, thus 6 p.m. central).

I gather that Breitbart is somewhat new at broadcast radiocasting, so maybe he didn't handle that as elegantly as he might (and trust me, I'm no Breitbart fan--just trying to be fair). And I assume Meade's not all that experienced** at being a broadcast guest.

Yet, anyway.
