The voiceover at the end is Columbus’ very own Ted Williams.

Matt Taibbi: The Crying Shame of John Boehner John Boehner is the ultimate Beltway hack, a man whose unmatched and self-serving skill at political survival has made him, after two decades in Washington, the hairy blue mold on the American congressional sandwich. The biographer who somewhere down the line tackles the question of Boehner’s legacy will do well to simply throw out any references to party affiliation, because the thing that has made Boehner who he is — the thing that has finally lifted him to the apex of legislative power in America — has almost nothing to do with his being a Republican. Oh, and have I mentioned a thousand times this man sooo reminds me of my-father-who-drank-too-much? Just what we need a Speaker with a drinking problem. ***Edit & question for our Fearless Leader*** If we include an image with a comment, but then need to go back to edit, is there a way to change or insert the image again…especially if it doesn’t take on the first go ’round? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 7, 2011 @ 3:56 am I have a dear, dear, dear friend with a “radio voice” and get weak in the knees every time he has anything to say. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 5, 2011 @ 1:42 pm My apologies if this has already been posted, but since it happened in Columbus, and I just heard about it, an extra dose of “feel good” can not hurt any of us: Homeless man with big voice headed to Big Apple The morning couldn’t have been more of a surprise for Ted Williams, the Columbus panhandler whose now-infamous “golden voice” became an Internet sensation yesterday – bringing with it scores of potential job offers for the homeless ex-radio disc jockey.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2011 @ 12:36 pm Okey, dokey now. Nothin’ like Bipartisan speculation! Jon Huntsman 2012?

Of course, the more she babbles, the more she “refudiates” her IQ. Sarah Palin Attempts To Explain ‘Refudiate’ Gaffe Amid the familial banter that took place on Sunday’s episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” the former Alaska Governor went beyond criticism of conservationists to explain the much ridiculed genesis of her faux-word, “refudiate.” » Posted By boomer1949 On December 29, 2010 @ 3:05 am Seriously, and I just read this, but I am doubled over and nearly on the floor from laughter. The “tribe” is looking at me like I have totally lost my mind. “An appointment” was on the books, as it were, but we decided to cancel and reschedule. Thus the kitchen shears effect. 😆 😆 😆 Still rolling on the floor!!! You, my dear girlfriend, have just made my Tuesday day… 😆 Oh and the YGM invite is a formality, and a thinking of you thingy. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 10:09 pm Okay, I started to reply, but it disappeared. Must be because I was adjusting my iTunes. Nevertheless, I really thought “he” was tearing up because “he” was introducing Jon Boner, but noo, “he” is a Boner wannabe. That said… Seriously dear, you are solidifying my resolve. I’m good for two years, but if Barack is primaried by some asshole Blue Dog Progressives and/or the DNC) or, God forbid a Repug-Tea-Party-Sistah’ Sarah-type wins the White House, come 2012, I’m outta’ here. Why stay? Given a choice, I’d rather let the Alzheimer’s progress naturally,over time,instead of speeding up the process by banging my head against a brick wall. One reaches a point where one becomes sick and tired of being sick and tired. Ya’ know? I’m older than you would think, and it’s getting ore difficult to raise the arms and shake the pom poms, and I’m not referring to Maxine’s saggy boobs. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 9:41 pm YGM… » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 8:52 pm you are crazy! How do your pay-shents stand you? 🙄 btw – the clock is ticking — pick a time and place. It’s not like you are there and I am here or that either of us is in AZ (then we would have to include Khirad and bito) or CA (and you know the crowd triples, you know. Two hours tops and as I said, the West Coast chicks can’t one up us. Of course, somewhere mid-Pennsylvania would allow Q to join in as well. In this instance, three plus a 4th grader would fine day. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 6:52 pm I was in Montreal and loved it; visitor or otherwise, I loved it. Toronto is nice too — been there as well. At this point in my life, I figure what the hell, learn a new language, new skills, and damn won’t have to deal with the Boheners, McConnells, Cantors, Bachmanns, Palins, and other idjits this country seems to breed. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 5:09 pm javaz, Without going in to a lot of detail, I know of several people who have stated that if a Repub, specifically Sistah’ Sarah, is elected come 2012, he/she (myself included), will be outta’ here faster than a DeLorean. Personally, there are four places I would literally pursue — Montreal, Paris, London, and Tokyo. Antarctica would undoubtedly be easier ’cause I so admire the devotion of the King Penguin . On the other hand, Ljubljana Slovenia and Perpetuum Jazzile , are right up there on my top ten list of places I would much rather be than suffering through another fucking Republican administration. Been there, done that, and have so many (not by choice mind you), Repub tee-shirts, even the Salvation Army refuses to take them as donations. Eeeww!
boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 4:39 pm Thank you javaz, I am happy, happy is contagious; not enough happy in the world, you know? We waste so much energy being pissy, whiny, and just plain negative. I have my days, the same as anyone else, but I am a definite optimistic geek, and really try to see my WINE glass 1/2 full instead of 1/2 empty. 🙂 What else can I say? Merry, merry and happy, happy from 17 degrees in Ohio to much warmer temps in AZ I’m sure. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 4:15 pm May I please take a brief and selfish moment to say… 1) I am so glad I do not have to return to work until 8:00 AM EST Monday 1/3/11, 2) I will be celebrating Christmas with my two favorite kids this week, 3) I will be having lunch with a dear friend I have not seen since late September, and 4) I am eternally grateful for the friends I have made here at the Planet. Each and every one of you, and I do each and every one, mean the world (no pun intended)to me.
~I have seen Carly live~she has come quite a long way in overcoming her stage fright. ~forgive me for showing my age and, although he is probably 10-15-20 years my junior, does anyone know the her rhythm guitarist?~ 😉 😉 Heh, I know there are enough Planeteer friends, with more than beyond my connections, to know this guy. ~K–cut my hair today–me, myself, & I. Not bad, but could be better; must need to sharpen the damn scissors. Pictures at 11!. [***Heartburn (1986)/Nora Ephron, Mick Nichols; Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson; title song by Carly Simon. If you’ve never seen the movie, much less heard the soundtrack, you should***]
~and last but not least, I am a picky, choosy, CW tuner, inner, but this guy’s voice & blue eyes are to die for. Not to mention, I’ve asked a seamstress friend of mine to make a 50’s dress similar to the one in the opening~crinoline and all. 😉
» Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 3:18 pm Nurse kes, you give the guy way too much rope. It is unfortuante men and women are not required to: 1) take a test and not necessisarily in the following order, before marriage, sex, conception, and 2) be highly screened and tested to determine if he/she realizes the child, the product of their instant gratification, will actually live, breathe, is defenseless, and…IS NOT a Cabbage Patch Doll to be returned to Toys R Us when the fucking glow wears off. Yet, and as moronic examples, we have the RW Neo-Con-Tea-Party-Conservatives, preaching against birth-control and abortion — “absitnance is the only answer.” What do you want to bet this poor child never would have become a vicitm had the G’pa, G’ma, Mom, Dad, and other immediate family members not been such ASHOLES?!?!?! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 12:40 pm IMHO, any kid under the age of 18, especially a newborn, infant, or toddler, is seriously at a disadvantage. Why? Because they are unable to defend themselves. That said, C’bus just had this incident a month or so ago. WARNING, just reading it it will make you ill, and I will/would be be the first in line to shoot the SOB:. That said… http://www.thegrio.com/news/infant-slammed-to-ground-thrown-in-trash-dad-charged.php So, to answer your question javaz, I seriously doubt it; at least not without the help of an adult who should no better. Annoyed because the kid cries is NOT an excuse — regardless of the political, state, or parental affiliation. It’s probably a good thing I never became a nurse — I would’ve lost my license years ago defending the victims. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 27, 2010 @ 12:24 pm my daughter’s favorite, favorite series when she was at “that age.” She taped (long before dvr) and taped and taped. She would never admit it now, but I think she had all of the “Seasons” long before the producers realized they were a “cash cow.” » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 11:25 pm Listen, do I need to send a personal YGM here? It’s not NASA rocket science kes, but let’s see — half the distance between you and me (regardless whether it be NW or NE) winds up to be Mansfield, give or take 25 miles east or west. Ya’ think? Heck, everyone pretty much knows I am stuck in the middle of nowhere with the State House, the Buckeyes, the Blue Jackets, the Butter Cow, the Governor-elect John Kasich’s $700,000+ home a stone’s throw from my paltry one bedroom apartment. Oh, and did I mention my Gyn is less than 10 minutes away? Actually, I could give you a guided tour of the Gov-elect’s place, unfortunately, I bet security has increased since he “won” the election. Gag! However, give me a couple of push pins and I can point the entire world to his secluded residence. Just kidding OSP, just kidding. The rest of the world can Google or Google Earth his name, address, or whatever info is out there. I have no clue. Seriously I have no clue. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 10:44 pm I am with bito…bring her with you. I do have grandchildren you know — the oldest being Ct., @ 8 1/2, then Cl. @ 5 1/2, and finally L. @ 3 1/2. Their parents, my daughter and son in-law are almost 30 something and their aunt (my Kindergarten teacher daughter who I have frequently used in my myriad of arguments is almost 30 whatever and her hubby is in his 30’s). If you still decline, then it must be because I do not brush my teeth. EEEwwww!! 😆 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 8:38 pm Ms. kes, I have been back for HOURS, HOURS, trust me HOURS. The distance between my place and the nearest CVS is less than a blink of Santa’s eye (oops that’s over now isn’t it?). **EDIT** kes, I am on vacation until 1/3/11. Publicly speaking, which eliminates me as your every day (only every other day :lol:) axe-murderess-stalker-chick, want to meet half way between C’bus and you for lunch or even dinner sometime next week? Seriously, and you can even call the State Troopers for an escort. 🙂 Serious — not joking. It would be a pleasure and way cool to get together; can’t let the West Coast girls one up us, you know? Post here or YGM. Let me know. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 7:03 pm Those who are here on Christmas Evening, not Eve, but 7:44 PM 12/25/10…off on a wine run. Be right back. PLease don’t call, the furries won’t answer, much less take a message. Don’t call the Ohio State Troopers — kes this means you! 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 4:46 pm bito, much better than a bottle of Chardonnay and a Digiorno Self-rising pizza. Okay, I’ll give up the pizza, but not the Chardonnay. I’ll do the dishes. How’s that? Signed, » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 4:19 pm Dear kes, “Driveway Moments” — although I haven’t purchased any of the CDs,I find myself sitting in the car, especially before or after work, but for a very long time on the weekend — listening to “the rest of the story.” For anyone to imply NPR or PBS has become fodder for the KocheNuts is nuts! NPR & PBS will only stay true to those of us who pledge & volunteer during fund drives. I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum, numerous times, and jeeze, have yet to see any of the Koch Bros. answering the phones or calling in a pledge. 😆 Money can only buy so much influence. Moreover, I’m not so sure GK would approve of the Koch Bros. picking up the phones much less answering, “thank you for calling WCBE 90.5 FM and listening to A Prairie Home Companion, how much would you like to contribute.” Wouldn’t that be a hoot? GK and I are cut from the same “Boomer Decade” cloth (‘course he is older) and, although I am Progressive, he is “out-of-the-ballpark-Progressive.” If I had his voice and venue, I would be right up there with him. However, my biggest fault is I get pissy trying to make a point, when I know being subtle, humorous, and using satire would work much better. I cut to the chase and don’t give any slack. 🙂 Hillary would never hire me for a embassy position… 😆 GK, Fearless Leader, David Sedaris, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds, (yo, Fearless Leader Guy, look at your company and pedestal) are the epitome of what I would give my right arm (okay both arms) to be able to do. Many here at the Planet, yourself included, are far better read than I, yet I only feel LAZY for not reading more, but not ignorant for being LAZY. Does this make sense? When I was in college, I could rattle off citations at the drop of a hat. Now? Brew-ha-ha-ha! I read the antiquated Columbus Dispatch, surf the Internets, and base most of my outlook on life and the world around me, on past experience, common sense, and those I believe “see the bigger picture” — regardless of position. Entertainer, writer, survivor, community organizer, wife of a community organizer, Faith Mission volunteer, Kindergarten Educator, Governor Ted Strickland…those who influence me are a melting pot of opinion, experience, and community. As Gwen Ifill says in a promo for the PBSNewshour (forgive my inaccurate quote here), “We don’t tell you what you should think, but give you the information and let you decide for yourself.” Close, but only counts in horseshoes. The more times one has been around the block = common sense and reality. The fewer times one has been around the block = inexperience and the need to grow up. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 4:12 pm Kes, More often than not, GK’s Lake Wobegon tales take at LEAST twenty minutes. Regardless of where I happen to have my ass, on the couch in the living room, or the driver’s seat of my car, those twenty minutes never seem like enough and, and, Oh God, equivalent to, well, read my mind… 😉 😉 Personally, GK could go on and on and on and on, and it would never be enough. The man has a gift — scripted or otherwise — for storytelling. I am always disappointed when the time is up and it is a “wrap,” as it were. I have been in the audience for “Prairie Home” and “An Evening with Garrison Keillor” and have always left wanting to hear more! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 1:15 pm Ouch, and I love it Q, absolutely love it! Get those tickets to “Driving” Doc! I’d give my right arm just to be sitting in the same room with “Darth,” not Cheney btw, and having him whisper sweet nadas in my ear. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 25, 2010 @ 12:48 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
