Jay's tip to keep a hose handy for your deep-fried turkey is a recipe for disaster! The Mythbusters recently had some dramatic demonstrations of the fireballs that are created when putting water on a grease fire. Not funny. Of course, nothing else in the bit was funny either. C'mon Jay...just give me a chuckle, a titter... something.
Mainstream media needs your support! They told you deep fried turkey was cool and as mindless consumers America went for it.
Now it's not cool. LOL!
If the mainstream media told American consumers to smear cow shit in their hair they would do it.
"C'mon Jay...just give me a chuckle, a titter... something."
LOL! If your not laughing, you are the problem! Don't blame a professional clown like Leno because you are smarter than his target audience!
Not funny.
Family will be meeting later this afternoon, so the morning is mine.
Leno's monologue has gone a lot harder Right-wing since moving to Primetime, which I find a bit annoying. But he slammed Bush pretty consistently for years, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, thinking that he's probably "trying to be consistent", going after Obama as much as he did Bush (about 60/40 between Republicans and Democrats, now the reverse.)
If I have any beef, it is that the source of his "Obama jokes" are typically Rightwing talking points.
...I gave up on him precisely for too much bottom-feeding humor based on talking points — and for those cringe-making Jay-walking segments. It's funny that when I watch Letterman's Stupid Pet and Stupid Human Tricks, I never get the impression that any of the participants are actually stupid.
Happy Thanksgiving (unless you're a turkey)
"man is the only animal who eats when they are not hungry, drinks when they are not thirsty"
How can somebody who is never funny be a professional comedian?
is he never funny, but he takes jokes that COULD be funny, and makes them unfunny with his terrible delivery.
This is one of the great mysteries of life, why in the world is Jay Leno popular in the slightest?
...is that at one time he was very, very funny. Then he went gunning for Carson's chair and started aiming for the lowest common denominator, and just got worse once he got that chair...and the big staff of joke writers.
Leno made one of the best political jokes in history.
"If god wanted us to vote he would have given us candidates!"
Keep conversation to the kids, the weather, and sports today.
Family, turkey and football.

Probably cheneyburton.
of why I gave up watching the Tonight Show after Carson left.
Carsons retirement was the end of "class and good taste" in late night television.
Letterman still brings the goods most of the time...
I suppose Late Night will de-evolve into some sort of Idiocracy though when the real pros all retire.
I go.
spending by a new president, while at the same time making plans to appear with Oprah Winfrey in a Christmas special and reading about himself in GQ if you look closely at this picture going viral today on the net.

and your point? If you made the cover of a magazine would you buy a copy and read it? My problem with that picture is his shoes!
As for spending, well he didn't invent the printing press.
because when you do that you risk the danger of starting to believe your own hype.
"Obama crew has shattered first-year spending by a new president..."
So they could TRY and fix Bush and Cheney's mess. Had McCain and Moose Lady won, we'd be in deeper shit.
Isn't Obama still working from Bush's budget?
I like how that works. Clinton leaves a surplus. Bush blows it all and it's Clinton's fault.
Bush leaves the largest deficit ever and it's Obama's fault.

technician who is going arrive here soon to repair our heater which stopped working while we were sleeping last night.
He's probably a tea bagger and Joe the Plumber fan but never the less were still going to thank him.
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
I'm an atheist (not only do I 'claim' to be one, but I actually AM one) and I'll be thankful for universal health care... Though since I'm Canadian, Thanksgiving was over a month ago, and universal health care is a reality here...
I think it was the Arch-Druid Isaac Bonewitz who said, "If One God, is better than many gods, than wouldn't no gods be better than any?"
But maybe that was his arch attitude talking.

Their parents?
And I'm thankful that there are a lot of people smart enough not to buy into the nonsense of religion.
And I don't need to waste my days off stressing over holidays. I can just take a day off and enjoy it without feeling any pressure to buy something for somebody.

Watch out for that egg nog:

I'm a renter and the icemaker in our refrigerator was leaking. So the landlord had someone come out yesterday to fix it. It was "fixed" it in less than 30 minutes and charged $330.00. The repair man was from somewhere in the old Soviet Union and while working away informed my sister and I (after seeing that we had the news on) that the russians will never accept a democracy in Afghanistan (WTF?).
Right on schedule, a half hour later, water starts coming out from under the fridge. I called the repair folks and they reassured me it was just left over from the repair. Are you getting the rest of the story yet?
Three hours later we get home and there's a big puddle of water around the fridge. I called the company back, using the business card the man left that says "No extra charge for evenings, weekends and holidays". The woman on the line says that only means an operator is available during those times (no, really. WTF?) and that no one can be there until Friday. Meanwhile we are shoving towels under the fridge to soak up the water, and the ice machine is off.
This morning I got up and the kitchen now has water all over, the towel is soaked and the cat is pissed he can't get to his food (NOW we have a problem!). So I called the company back, got the same woman (Elena) and informed her that:
1. Someone should come out today.
2. I have told my landlord not to pay them.
3. Their business card contained false advertising.
4. I have guests coming, and that if anyone gets hurt slipping on water or tripping over towels, that I was going to sue them.
Can you guess her response?
A. She apologized and informed me that someone would be out today.
B. She said if anyone slipped and got hurt then it would be MY responsibility, kept talking over me, saying "hold on, hold on" and finally hung up on me.
Answer: B
After about 10 minutes she called back and said someone will be out later this morning. I guess she thought things over a bit.
I am thankful that this is all that is happening for me today. In the grand scheme this is nothing compared to what so many others are suffering through these days. But I thought it was rather funny really and thought I would share it while I wait for the repairman to show up.
wondered this morning why in the hell out heater had to go out on Thanksgiving of all days.
the old saying goes.
Is that why I'm always so sleepy?
Good luck my friend. I hope you get better service than we did.
not bad.
"the cat is pissed he can't get to his food"
That is the most important thing no matter WHAT!
Yes at least we have the priorities straight...at six o'clock in the frikkin' morning. I am thankful that he lets us live here in his house.
There must be a tube or hose supplying water, as the water does not magically appear. Find the tube and cut the source of the water inflow. It'll keep your floor dry until you get a proper repair.
I am technically/mechanically inept, that's just logic.
Jay Leno should go the hell away.
He used to be funny, like Billy Crystol
Now he's a stuffy bore.
He should give Conan his chance.
Because you know if his audience doesn't laugh
He'll lay into them with a broadsword
And he snatched it away from a broad using it to shave her legs.
...repeatedly is not only "unfunny," he's got a ratings deathwish. I guess, though, if you can only get your friends to come on your show, you take whoever you can get.
I never watch Leno.
Having seen this clip, I am reminded once again why.
i didn't view this bit of silliness, but why, oh why, would you decide to post clips of leno, who just had schwartznegger, one of the most vile, destructive, pathological personalities who also has power over millions, on his show?
Get a grip, crooks and liars.
