DUmmies just called "stupid" on FOX news.

Here is a link to WaPo about XM portable. Apparently you have to look like the Nutty Professor to be able to get satellite reception while walking.

~~~~~~~~~~ a chill wind is bloooooowing~~~~~~~~ good catch!
lol!

BTW I will be interested in hearing any discussion on the portable radios you asked about. I can't walk outside here in Texas in the summer because of the heat. I can walk for hours in an a/c mall if I have a radio to listen to, but there are many areas of every mall where the radio doesn't get a good signal.

[PJ-Comix]

The DUmmies are actually stuck in a circular mill, blindly following each other on a road to nowhere, marching to their own destruction.

LOL! I love that imagery about the DUmmie Ants. And the Jan. 6 counting of the electoral votes in Congress is the tree that the DUmmie Ants are going in a circular mill around.

Hi PJ,

I recently received a "Roady II" for Christmas (XM Satallite radio that can be moved from vehicle to vehicle) and I know they have portable ones.... And I want one so dang bad. XM is addicting as heck. I found this one best buy:

It works w/ the radio I have, about $150. Not bad when you consider how much use you would get out of it! :-)

DUmmies just called "stupid" on FOX news.

Details please! And if news outlets quote DUmmies, they really need to cite the DUFUs for inside info on the DUmmie Ants.

[arizonarachel]

I'm not sure of all the details of her complaint because I had my radio earphones on and was just nodding my head sympathetically in agreement while simultaneously listening to the radio.

TYPICAL! (just kidding)

Good catch.. you beat me...

[Choose Ye This Day]

I first heard the "circular mill" term used the other day, and I IMMEDIATELY thought of your pathetic "I Believe" ant farm.

I'd like to find some science textbook graphic to post whenever the DUmmies are blindly marching off behind their misguided leader du jour.

[Petronski]

This seven-ounce, $350 device isn't much smaller than other XM receivers, and it's bigger than most digital-music players, but in its two core functions, it has no equal. It can both tune into XM's signal when it's available and can record up to five hours of radio, complete with title and artist information, for later playback.

You could time-shift: situate the MyFi to record a program early and walk with it later in the day.

I wouldn't count on listening live while walking, based on the WaPo article, and my experience with using XM in my car.

[PJ-Comix]

Thanx for the link to the XM portable radio story. That $9.95 monthly service charge is reasonable but the $350 price tag for the portable XM radio itself is prohibitive. Plus I put a lot of wear and tear on my radios. Right now when I have to get a new portable radio for $10-$20, it's no big deal but I would hate to shell out $350 every time I wear out an XM portable radio. Of course, I wouldn't even need a satellite radio if South Florida had decent talk radio. Unfortunately, outside of Rush, there is NONE during the daytime.

[PJ-Comix]

Check out Rush! He is now talking about this Jan. 6 scenario.

[alnick]

Maybe instead of talk radio you could listen to books on tape. You can borrow the audio books from the library.

I do that sometimes when I'm driving and get tired of listening to talk radio.

In a perfect world, all 100 Senators would stand up because of one simple fact: They are where they are because of the vote, and if they do not protect that vote, it may be them looking at the short end of the stick come some future election day. All 100 should stand, but it only takes one. It only takes one to move us closer to that more perfect union, where every vote counts and every vote is counted, where the citizenry can trust that the people leading them were properly chosen, where partisans acting in the dark of night to thwart that simple, admirable goal are exposed and purged from our system.

Woo Boy. Pied Piper Pitt is the Bill Clinton of the DU with that kind of spiel!! Extravagant nonsense!

[dr_pat]

Moving from Lord of the Rings to The Right Stuff? Interesting. To us at the DUmmie FUnnies it appears that all your laughable rantings are more suited to It’s a Mad Mad Mad World.

It's under the GIANT W!

[Nataku X]

Perfect picture!

[The_Victor]

Let me be the first to nominate Pitt for Dudie of the Year

I believe that's DooDoo

Probably doodie, but I was trying to keep the spelling close just for the sake of humor.

[littleleaguemom]

A real scream. Last January I called the Boxer's office to ask why she didn't support Marxine and company and let them be humiliated. A Boxerette told me, "The Senator has to choose her battles." LOL.

[Flux Capacitor]

----In a perfect world, all 100 Senators would stand up because of one simple fact: They are where they are because of the vote----

Actually, Gandalf, a number of Senators -- all of them Democrats -- are where they are because of election fraud. Do the names Maria Cantwell, Tim Johnson, Mary Landrieu, and Frank Lautenberg ring a bell?

Democracy is such a burden for the Democrats.

Chill Wills

From IMDB

"Colorful character actor of American Westerns. Named "Chill" as an ironic comment on his birthdate being the hottest day of 1903. A musician from his youth, he performed from the age of 12 with tent shows, in vaudeville, and with stock companies. He formed a musical group, Chill Wills and his Avalon Boys. During an appearance at the Trocadero in Hollywood, they were spotted by an RKO executive, subsequently appearing as a group in several low-budget Westerns. After a prominent appearance with the Avalon Boys as both himself and the bass-singing voice of Stan Laurel in Way Out West (1937), Wills disbanded the group and began a solo career as a usually jovial (but occasionally sinister) character actor, primarily in Westerns. His delightful portrayal of Beekeeper in The Alamo (1960) won him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but his blatant and embarrassing campaign for the Oscar cost him the award and subjected him to a great deal of humiliation- and probably cost the film a number of awards as well. He continued to work in films and television, usually in roguishly lovable good-ol'-boy parts, up until his death in 1978."

Very apropos.
