I just pirated the whole Aretha Franklins "Queen of Soul" box set.(I deleted her "Amazing Grace." I can't stand hymns with applause...)
Ahhh...it feels so good to come home and loosen my broadsword, kick off my boots and unbuckle my swash...

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I hope I don't offend anyone ( and yes I''m Catholic)
Headline on Fox News "Pope: No Hope"
As if this can't be topped off, there was the 'Weekend at the Vatican" Farce this afternoon on "Studio B".. First, what looked to be a cutaway to a partially empty studio of the Italian "SKY News".. where in the midst of the background noise, a "55 Gallon drum" voice said 'he's dead" the Pope's dead" Ok, I was expecting this, but I started laughing, because the only thing that came into my mind was "He's dead, Jim", and I do admit to laughing inappropriately.
Ok, so Fox, puts up a banner and announces this as the facts, and this goes on for about 20 mins, then all of a sudden, "He's not dead"...Well, now, I'm lacrimose for real, laughing, because this is beginning to sound like the "Monty Python" sketch..
Ok, This is my lame attempt to use the WFTD in a somewhat lucid sentence today... (sorry, my left hand is not fully aware of my right, and my meds are definitely working.
I do hope that "FReeping while medicated" is permissable ;-)

I hadn't heard Shep tap dance that fast since his unfortunate comment about J-Lo a few years ago.
i saw that whole thing play out and it was an ATROCITY! that woman's exasperated tone of voice saying HELLO! the Pope is DEAD! and the horrificly unprofessional translations she was doing of the rosary! i had to switch to CNN and i NEVER change from fox news. it was unwatchable!
i thought he did as good a job as possible, but why they just listen in on raw live feeds from these people that are obviously clueless that they are being BROADCAST is beyond me! is there no one editing this stuff along the way or monitoring it in some way???
Shep couldn't have been more embarrassed.
i doubt that shep is catholic, but he was at least conversing intelligently about the whole process. the woman translating the prayers acted like she had never heard one in her life!
They can't even find decent copy editors for newspapers and you're expecting them to filter on the fly?
My sub concious voices always get me into trouble...with the whole dead/not dead thing coming over the radio- on April 1st no less- I was glancing around--thinking of Bill Cosby's old "Noah" sketch.
LORD: "Noah. This is the Lord."
NOAH: "Riiiight...Am I on candid camera?"
I love Monty Python!
Sheesh. What a dope.
I do hope that "FReeping while medicated" is permissable ;-)
Medicated, drunk, etc, is there any other way?
You miss an afternoon, you miss a lot.
how about someone in a booth listening to that and talking into shep's ear if anything worth reporting is said, instead of just dumping this flotsam out onto the air. it was inexcusable.
we missed you : )
Thanks. I had a full afternoon of interviews.
I see a lot happened while I was gone.
well it went back and forth, which is probably better to hear after the fact than to hear one minute that the Pope is dead (HELLO, the impatient bimbo said, THE POPE IS DEAD< he's DEAD!) and then about 10 min or so later have shep say, oops not dead.
