Hi gang. Hope the day has treated you right, and that you getting a chance to take it easy. Since I gave you metal this morning, I thought I would give you something a little mellower tonight. How about some nice comedy?

Have a great night.
Happy Hump Day Crasstalk. Hope you have been lucky in love this week (The GI has not, but she will try harder). Since Liz Taylor passed away last week I thought we could use some classic beauty to get us started.
I know people don’t consider this guy a Hollywood Hottie, but look at this picture of John Wayne.
I’ve also always had a soft spot for Henry Fonda.
For those of you who like the ladies, here is a great picture of Liz.
This is Myrna Loy, who was not only a fantastic actress, but was a stunning beauty.
Damn. So that’s why they called them the greatest generation. Remember to follow the usual rules here, and have a steamy day.
Good morning Crasstalk. Are you ready for another fun day? No? All right, get another cup of coffee and get it together. This ought to blow out the cobwebs.
Have a very metal day, my friends.
Hi gang. Hope you have had a great day and are ready for a wonderful evening. Since we were talking about bad TV today I am going to share some of my favorite 70s cheese.
Have a great night.
Last weekend we here at Crasstalk waged a mighty battle to find the worst that modern music has to offer. Unfortunately, we also discovered that many of us are big fans of these horrible songs, even if we will only admit it on the internet. I will not name the person who likes the Little River Band, but it was really that bad. So, after some discussion, it was decided that Crasstalk needed a regular column to celebrate bad taste. So I bring you Guilty Pleasures, a series for you to confess the darkest secrets of your cultural soul. This week we will discuss the very worst in television. There is plenty of bad TV to choose from, but don’t be bashful. Show us the absolute worst stuff you watch when you have the house to yourself. I’ll show mine first, just to make it fair.
A special thanks to LoremIpsumDolor, Mean_Ol_Liberal, and Daisy_Sage for coming up with this idea.
This is Jericho. Yes, I know it is terrible, but The Grand Inquisitor pretty much likes any show that starts with a nuclear war in the first episode.
On sort of a similar note, I am the only person in the entire country who liked this show.
Back off, nerds. I’m not gonna argue about it.
All right, I have bared my soul. Now it’s your turn.
Hello Crasstalk. Hope you are having a great week so far and are ready for another fun day here. Here’s some disco to get you started.
Rip off the roof and stay in bed. Sounds like good advice.
Good evening. Hope you all had a good day back at work. I’m feeling more like this:
Nothing like chasing the dollar. I think I need a drink. Have a great night.
Nothing gets a wingnut angrier than the idea that someone, somewhere might threaten the Murican Constitution. Apparently the country (and in fact the whole world) is full of people who have nothing better to do than sit around scheming about how they are going to take away the rights of Real Americans who live in Real America.
A particularly menacing bogeyman in the wingnut mind is The United Nations. Formed after WWII to prevent the kinds of free for all human slaughter we had during the war, the UN has always been a source of deep right wing suspicion. It’s also always been a great source for fund raising campaigns for wingnut groups who promise to save you from the Blue Helmet Menace.
The latest focus of bat shit insanity is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention is so controversial that it has been ratified by every UN member except the US and Somalia. It is also supported by total assholes like Oxfam, UNICEF, and the Rhode Island State Legislature. Wingnuts claim that the Convention will rob parents of their rights and allow their kids to become Satanist abortion-addicts who can take them to court when they can’t borrow the car. In reality the Convention prohibits the use of children as soldiers, prostitutes, and porn stars. The only real problem for the US is that it prohibits the execution of minors, and I guess it is really important for us to be able to snuff out 14 year olds for some reason.
Fortunately for America parentalrights.org has stepped forward to keep the UN from dispatching troops to steal our kids and sending them to the EU for reeducation. These patriots have a You Tube account, and they are going to protect you from an organization that nobody listens to and that lacks any enforcement powers. They are also trying to introduce a constitutional amendment preventing enforcement of the treaty, but only Jim DeMint (lulz) seems interested. So what if the UN is trying to create a legal frame work that would punish those who force kids into the battlefield or the brothel, foreigners make us uncomfortable. I can’t imagine why every one else in the world thinks we are such a bunch of jerks. Here’s a little paranoia to get your red, white, and blue blood boiling.
Welcome back Crasstalk. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for an exciting week around here. I am pleased to announce the winners of this weekend’s epic Light Rock Wars. The competition was bloody and hard fought, but two winners emerged.
From the Saturday and Sunday Thread, NurseWretched played this masterful choice:
Excruciating, simply excruciating. However, the winner from the first day and the
overwhelming winner over all goes to bbqcornnuts who made us all suffer through this:
Congrats to both of these ladies, and to all of you who spent the weekend searching
for Michael Bolton clips on You Tube.
Have a great day.
Hello Crasstalk. Hope you didn’t get in too much trouble last night (I did), and are having a great Sunday. Here are some monkeys because monkeys are always funny.
Have a wonderful day.
