slate.com to announce on Monday they've finally turned a profit (not really a true profit considering they were financed by Microsoft, I believe).

Oh, how sweet it would have been if someone had put a STRAIGHT JACKET on him and carried him out!

I'm Greek, and I hate Huffington.
Her accent isn't even Greek -- the accent makes her sound "Austrian, trying to be British" or something.
That constant monotone snarl turned her ex-husband gay, and it's also one reason I don't watch certain cable channels.

That looks like a very old photo (over 10 years old?), yet Franken has a "Mr Arkansas" title. Hmmm ...

I wonder how long it took the cleaning crew last night to clean up the grease spot left on the floor by the time the FOX crew got done with him. It would seem to me that alcohol combined with our favorite hosts would equal some whoop-a** on the whiner.

"Didn't he used to be on Saturday Night Live? If so, he must still think he is on it."He was on SNL but was not one of their funnier people. He was actually much better as a writer for the show, but that was a long time ago. One of his recent efforts, a parody news show called "Lateline" was a complete flop for NBC. I think that was a few years ago.

Don't forget that Al Franken is the host of FR Comedy Radio. The next show is scheduled for May 21 at 9:00 PM EDT. I'm sure Franken will have some commentary on the incident.

I'd like to know what, exactly, the idiot said to Colmes.
To: Paul Atreides
The left consider Colmes a sell-out.Jeepers! If he is a sellout, I shudder to think who is a good example in their eyes! :-)

Hey Sam Adams -- I can suggest BETTER than boycotting French wine.....
WANNA PISS OFF FRANCE.......??
OUR Beverage = Sparkling Wine
THEIR Beverage = Champagne
BUT IT'S THE SAME STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO WHY CAN'T WE CALL OUR STUFF "CHAMPAGNE??"
HERE'S WHY:
In the USA, I'm told that ONLY French sparkling wine can be marketed as "Champagne," since it comes from that region in France.
Any sparkling wine produced in other regions of the world (such as California), CANNOT be sold here as "Champagne."
Those other sparkling wines are advertised and sold here as "sparkling wine."
NOW:
What if our government STOPS this unfair practice, rewrites its own law, and ALLOWS anybody meeting certain quality standards to market their sparkling wine as "Champagne?"
After all, that's exactly WHAT IT IS. "Champagne" has become the common term + catchall name for that category of beverage. But American companies have simply been prevented from calling their stuff Champagne for Lord knows how many years.
"Champagne" has become the common term for this sort of beverage, so why can't we Americans buy/sell OUR STUFF under that name? Why do the French get to sell us their Champagne, but we must sell our competing brands as dippy-sounding "sparkling wine?"
WHO enforces this USA "law," and HOW CAN WE CHANGE IT ??
LET'S OPEN THE FLOODGATES, AND FILL THE WORLD MARKETPLACE WITH DELIGHTFUL AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE!
VINEYARDS, GET ORGANIZED AND WAKE UP!!
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE. THE PLANET HATES FRANCE.
(And if you succeed, I'll settle for a case of your best stuff).

I haven't been able to get to Drufge all day, but everything else seems to work fine. I use ATT/Comcast cable.

.Franken is just jealous of Alan's good looks. ROTFL!! I am dying here!!!!!

He was actually much better as a writer for the show, but that was a long time ago. One of his recent efforts, a parody news show called "Lateline" was a complete flop for NBC. But let's give Franken some credit. His new role as the host of the EIL (Excellence In Liberalism) Network on FR Comedy radio is a complete success. His next EIL show on FR Comedy Radio is scheduled for May 21 at 9 PM EDT.

Even better. Let's ship out all our sparkling wine through southern Illinois, and call it "Champaign"!

Don't forget that Drudge is on at 11:00 P.M. EST tonight live. Most boring radio show in existence. Even worse than Hannity.
To: whadizit
If the Conservatives and the Liberals ever fight it out, the military will not be necessary.
Liberals don't own any guns, remember?
No actual fighting will be necessary. Just play a game of "Mr. Ruger says", and they will suddenly be able to remember the things their history teachers tried to get them to learn.
Things like the Constitution, Bill of Rights, even the manners their parents tried so hard to teach them and failed.

"...so why can't we Americans buy/sell OUR STUFF under that name?"A very good question. For the past 50 years or so, Miller beer has been advertised as "the champagne of bottled beers." If we can't call our sparkling wines "champagne," then maybe we should just forbid the French from using our words, such as "hot dog," "sandwich," "hamburger," "Coke," etc.
Pass the freedom fries, please.

Some chicksy dicks :-) VBG! If you mean what I think you mean, I am laughing and turning red (er) at the very same time! Tee Hee!

"Excellence In Liberalism" Oxymoron of the day....
