Open Thread Saturday

When will Andrew Breitbart be back on Bill Maher's show? The night he was on was the only time I didn't regret watching that show.

Fell in love with her as a kid. She's beautiful, sings like a bird and is a conservative.

Two of my early crushes were on Shirley Jones and Pat Crowley (Please Don't Eat the Daisies, etc.). Actually, I still have those crushes. They are lovely, talented singers and actresses.

Oh, saw Patricia Heaton's new show last night and loved it:

Be nice Todd or I'll scare you with more Olbermann.

SMOKIN' Hot (and playing against type) in "Elmer Gantry"

Am I a bad American for A) not really giving a rip whether or not Chicago got the Olympics or not/not being that cheesed that the President lobbied for them or B) actually thinking samba-influenced opening ceremonies ought to be incredibly entertaining?

This is an open thread so I'm linking an article in the WSJ about media bias (who knew?) The WSJ compared articles in the media about Reagan's unemployment versus those today about Obama's. And the difference? "(20) of 22 stories mentioning the Reagan administration portrayed it negatively, versus 1 out of 15 that mentioned the Obama administration." Folks, that's a 91% to 6% difference! That's about as 'fair and balanced' as a boulder against a pea.

Shirley Jones ranks way up in my top beautiful women in the world, second only to Maureen O'Hara. She is just as beautiful today as she was during the fliming of "Oklahoma!".

I'm with you on A, B not so much, being a red blooded American male with a healthy passion for the opposite sex and not being encumbered with a spouse, not having the good fortune to marry, I kind of look forward to the samba sashaying about if previous Rio Carnival parades are any indication. However I do like your point.

Don't knock the Partridge Family, man. That was part of my wholesome TV viewing when I was a kid (reruns, of course – I wasn't allowed to watch Melrose Place or whatever the other kids were watching).

"Zombieland" gets 5/5 from me. It's what "Capitalism" and "The Invention of Lying" aren't – really really freakin' entertaining.

Carolyn, have you ever seen the ratio of homeless stories during the 80s compared to 1992-2001. Fair & balanced my sweet Aunt!!!

The 1st time I saw her was on "The Partridge Family." It was required viewing when I was in grammar school, along with "The Brady Bunch." Heck, my third grade teacher's name was Shirley. After seeing her in other movies and TV shows I always found her to be beautiful in more ways than just looks, with talent to boot.

Hey, we're gaining ground!

That Bill Clinton joke reminds me of Supernatural, since Dean was down on the killing floor of Hell last season. I haven't seen this week's episode, but there was an article here in the spring talking about how theologically sound the show has become. Is that still the consensus? The angels being no better than the demons and God being proclaimed dead doesn't seem too sound to me. I feel like I'm going to be struck down at times just for watching. I'm not even sure why I am watching, since I liked the original "fighting the monster of the week that is straight out of an urban legend" premise a lot better. And, I've felt a distance between myself and the show since they started getting partisan political. I guess it's because this is supposed to be the last season and no sense jumping out of the car now.

By the way, nice to see the open thread back again.

You did not include a lesser event, maybe number 11, the contest of who most lined the IOC execs
pockets with cash as brought to an apex in the UTAH winter Olympics.

I was swept clean on the IOC coments as well as yours. do you still have them?

Joel McHale on last night's The Soup talking about Roman Polanski: "He lost interest in the [rape] case after it turned 18 years old."

Oh, Shirley Jones!!!

Hey, this Olympic thing. Whatever international goodwill President Barack Obama may have accrued has been wiped clean by his self-aggrandizing sense of entitlement.

The president is a lawyer; and lawyers don't ask questions they don't know the answer to. One would think lawyer/presidents would be especially shy about gambling with their prestige in an arena where the outcome is uncertain. How could he fly all the way to Copenhagen (at what cost?) without a guarantee? Arrogance. That's how. He's been reading his own press clippings.

Many believed the election of Barack Obama would boost world opinion of the United States. Instead, it's the return of the ugly American.

Aaaah the young Hillary !!

Sorry I misread your article B. I do agree with your take on the opening parade for the aforemention
reasons.

I always knew her more for Oklahoma! and Carousel… But that's because my mom was really into musicals and they didn't have Partridge Family on video at that time…

I was just a lad when I had my second crush on a movie star, Jean Simmons was my first. Shirley was the unlucky receipient of number 2,, to paraphrase EX Pres. Carter's admission, I lusted after in my heart. Then I found out she was, I believed, involved with the ownership of Rolling Rock beer, I lusted openly, to no avail, which goes without saying. I still adore her.

Now THAT is the funniest thjing I have seen in a long time! I especially like one of the comments:

To paraphrase Michelle Obama: “For the first time in my life, I am proud of the IOC”.

I hope to the Sweet Lord Jesus that you're a chick…

Oh, I grew up with the musicals, too! I think I'd seen nearly every Rodgers and Hammerstein movie before ever seeing an episode of the PF.
