FWBuff said...: Romney is supposed to make his VP announcement in the morning from the deck of the USS Wisconsin. Supposedly a chartered plane went from Boston to Janesville earlier this afternoon. Is it Ryan? What's the buzz in Wisconsin?; 8/10/12, 11:16 PM
john said...: Ole's playing there tomorrow night.

I thought Ole was dead.

Ole died. Lena goes to the newspaper office to print the death notice.
The clerk asks her, “What do you want it to say?”
“Ole died.”
The clerk looks up. “What else?”
“Nothing else.”
“But Lena, you were married to Ole all those years. Don’t you want to say anything else about him?”
“Nope.”
The clerk thinks a minute. “You know, Lena, it won’t cost you any more if you add a little. The first ten words are the same price.”
“Ten words, and it won’t cost extra?” she asks.
The clerk nods.
Lena thinks hard, then says, “Ole died. Boat for sale.”; 8/10/12, 11:18 PM

RazorSharpSundries said...: Ann, just saw Bob Dylan tonight in Lloydminster, Ab, Ca. Amazing show, he is rockin' hard, the band is dressed to the nines and the seating was grandstand which means I stood real close to the stage when they opened the gates and I didn't budge the whole time. Really cool. Dylan is a national treasure.; 8/11/12, 12:56 AM

Jim in St Louis said...: I read comments on here thru the week, but rarely comment myself, except sometimes on weekends. Always interesting and entertaining.

Is it just me or were the comments this past week especially ....well...intense? Is that the word I want?

Althouse herself was as bitchy and petulant as the worst of the crazies, not meaning to call her out-- but just to acknowledge her unique role as moderator and author.

anyhoo...my comment this morning is to everyone of those regular comment people- (u no who u r)

Althouse writes things- and then you write things- but these 'things' are read by a larger audience than just the person you are directly responding to. So if you get upset by a looney-and then feel called upon to respond to that looney by becoming clownish yourself...then the rest of us become bored by the sideshow.

So the shorter comment for those too busy to read comments:

"Hey Bigmouth! Take that shit outside! Some of us are talking in here!"; 8/11/12, 3:16 AM

We have such different caricatures in the scheme of things But are north and south that different?

It happens everywhere there are deer and cars. I once loaned my camp ax to a couple of Wisconsin lads field dressing a doe at the side of the road.; 8/11/12, 8:42 AM
Farmer said...: Paul Ryan. Damn. Romney lost my vote.

Maybe he'll win it back!; 8/11/12, 9:24 AM
Carnifex said...: Busted Nut Cafe? I don't think even Andy or Titus is gonna touch that one.; 8/11/12, 10:35 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Did I have the privacy setting screwed up on that?

Sorry if that didn't display last night!; 8/11/12, 10:57 AM

No.1 on the list of secrets of comedy. Hit some other guy in the nuts.
no.2 Is a monkey.
Monkeys are funny.
It's even better if you can get a monkey to hit some othe guy in the nuts.
No.3 Big busty ditzy blonde in a tight outfit.
Comedy trifecta if the blonde tells the monkey to go hit some guy in the nuts.
Comedy can be painful if you have nuts.; 8/11/12, 11:49 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Why is Wisconsin so stupid?

I understand the cold and humid questions, but stupid?

That just doesn't seem right to me.; 8/11/12, 1:10 PM
