Recent Shout Outs to Dennis

George R. wrote at 8:50 AM on Nov-20-2009: in reference to the Sarah Palin interview, she used three words that tell me all I need to know: "Snarky", Flippin'", and "Crap". Any politician that can use those words and sound completely natural and comfortable in their delivery will be a welcome change from the status quo and just what this country needs. Claudia Brown wrote at 8:39 AM on Nov-19-2009: Thanks for the new photo of Intern Jebediah -- the toothless silent scream was beginning to creep me out. Also nice to know that the former Master of Massey College isn't really dead, but has found a new job in his dotage. He'll set a whole new standard of intern dress, with the cape and cane and broad-brimmed fedora we used to see him parading around in up here in Toronto. Nice to see him sober too? James wrote at 8:12 AM on Nov-19-2009: Caveat to Marc's long standing military joke: Boy Scouts can carry knives as long as they stay off public school property, where they would be deemed to pose a clear and present danger. Marc needs a nickname! wrote at 8:55 PM on Nov-18-2009: In the military we have a long standing joke: What is the difference between a soldier and a boy scout, boy scouts can carry knives! JOHN wrote at 4:38 PM on Nov-18-2009: Hi Dennis, I have a solution that will resolve all the issues for the terrorist trials… Try them via military trail. Once all 5 are convicted, they can then be flown back to the United States at time which the following should occur and be broadcast on Al Jazeera and Fox News only. Fly Terrorist #1 over Shanksville PA in a C-130 and push him out the back of the plane, but he would be inside the deflated balloon used by the Balloon Boy. Fly terrorist #2 over the Pentagon parking lot and just throw him out after making him flap his arms before “launch” Fly Terrorist #3 & #4 over the Twin Tower Sites in a Helicopter. At the height of 1362 ft throw out #3, Once he lands, the helo ascends to a height of 1368 ft and then #4 is ejected. Finally, number five should be flown to Ft Lewis where upon and will be tasked to run up and down the target area of the rifle range providing more realistic training for the troops. The soldier that nails him automatically qualifies as a rifle expert. This plan should appease Holder’s argument that the victim’s family should get to see them. (Knucklehead). Tony Wood wrote at 11:29 AM on Nov-18-2009: Im a day late and a dollar short as usual, But you handled Mitchel Beautifully. This woman just did for veganism what Hezbola did for world peace. I'll take mine Medium rare and keep um comming. metalheaddoc wrote at 10:58 AM on Nov-18-2009: The next step in Jane's plan is no doubt to cull the human herd which eats and breathes and burps and farts and burns fossil fuels. No doubt, ideology will be the litmus test for who gets whacked. Tom Eline wrote at 6:30 PM on Nov-17-2009: I had all I could take of Jane Velez-Mitchell when she got to why she went vegan. That had me longing for more of Sal's bathrobe verbal abuse. James wrote at 4:00 PM on Nov-17-2009: (In a hushed, secretive tone of voice) We are here at the StarButts® Coffee Enema Clinic, substituting Foljers Krystals for the Coffee of the Day. Will they notice the difference... Lynne B. wrote at 9:58 AM on Nov-17-2009: GREAT RADIO. Whoever brought Mike's question at the end....inspired tie up of loose ends. xxLynne in Indiana Sven G. wrote at 9:03 AM on Nov-17-2009: Dennis, There were millions upon millions of bison roaming the plains of North America prior to the arrival of the white man. I wonder if they burped or farted? From Sven, Casper, WY Bonnie Sheets wrote at 9:52 AM on Nov-16-2009: Please have mercy & release "Dennis does War Pigs" collection from the beginning of the show, all 10 or so tries at it! I need every version to fill a void in my heavy metal collection! (make sure the post-concert comments are there, too.) I've almost wrecked the car several times listening to it, but it's WORTH it! (And the gakked Ozzy version would be the cherry on top of a metal classic.) Dennis, your love shows there! Thanks! -Bonnie in San Diego Larry E. wrote at 7:12 AM on Nov-16-2009: Watching Sal do his bathrobe session: I knew a palace coup had to happen sometime. But it's not over yet. Next time I tune in, I fully expect to see Mowgli in the chair. (P.S. -- did Sal bring his own bathrobe, of did he inherit Dennis's robe as well as his throne?) Marcia wrote at 7:41 AM on Nov-14-2009: Hey Dennis, do not miss the POV documentary on PBS about the troop greeters at the Bangor, Maine airport. I am feeling so proud and grateful to the soldiers and these senior citizens who represent the best of America. You said you didn't get a chance to see it, but there is an eight minute recap online. Marcia osagebowler wrote at 5:22 PM on Nov-13-2009: Dennis, it's still worse than you think. Mama said there'd be days like this, but she didn't say how many...but at least they're not all Friday the 13th. Martha A. wrote at 11:52 AM on Nov-13-2009: Glad I am not the only one who has defective ears. Robert (Vancouver) wrote at 9:28 AM on Nov-13-2009: Dennis, Google News is extremely useful to determine the relative significance of a story in the MSM. Let's contrast two recent ones: 22 stories - The black college professor punching a white woman in the face. 286 stories - An evangelist being convicted of sex crimes The latter by the way was just minutes after the story was released. But why is the former story so thinly covered? Larry E. wrote at 9:04 AM on Nov-13-2009: Of course, Jack Palance was great, sinister, menacing, and EVIL in "Shane." But I still think Bruce Dern was the greatest cowboy bad guy. He was more of the whiny, smart-aleck juvenile-delinquent punk type of villain. He was good in "Hang 'em High" as one of the hangers. He killed John Wayne in "The Cowboys." And he was a great comic villain in "Support Your Local Sheriff." I think he was the best ever. Fard Muhammad wrote at 8:27 AM on Nov-13-2009: Actually, Dennis, the "Thank You GWB" article is on HillBuzz.org, not .com... Mark in NH wrote at 8:23 AM on Nov-13-2009: Dennis, my Thanksgiving turkey is all moved in. We always go with a live bird. This years he's staying in the guest room watching Direct TV and filling up on nutritious snacks. So on Wednesday the 25th he'll answer the front door thinking that it's Publishers' Clearing house and it will be all over. That big cardboard fake check takes the head clean off, just like the Pilgrims did it. He'll never know what hit him. Grill_Sergeant wrote at 8:52 PM on Nov-12-2009: Dennis, Thanks for cutting Sal loose on the Bathrobe Session. It was disturbingly funny... like watching an "R" rated Rain Man. GS Steven K. wrote at 4:11 PM on Nov-12-2009: Dennis great program,as a new DMZ member could not be happier,love the Podcast feature,use it while driving bus for a living.Customers can't figure out why i'm laughing out loud doing 70 mph dodging the tractor trailers while taking them to work.Keep on keeping on good, buddy . Larry E. wrote at 7:16 AM on Nov-12-2009: I agree with Dennis -- I gave up on trying to use the "earbuds," the things you cram in your ears. The insides of my ears aren't threaded, and that's what you have to have to wear those things. So I use headphones; they stay on (more or less). michele h. wrote at 10:42 AM on Nov-11-2009: Loved your show at the Four Seasons in Chicago last night -- you started it off right, the ceo didn't warm up the audience for ya! Felt weird being one of the only girls in the room. How do I get an autograph pic? Maria wrote at 9:56 AM on Nov-11-2009: Dennis, saw you on O'Reilly last night...you are looking darn good these days!! Fard Muhammad wrote at 9:43 AM on Nov-11-2009: I love the fact that people in support of Obamacare applaud the idea that the House Bill was passed in the middle of the night, yet only 8 years prior, when the PATRIOT ACT was passed in the middle of the night, they claimed that it was a violation of the people's trust and the Constitution. Ean wrote at 10:22 PM on Nov-10-2009: Dennis just in case you missed it the stand against the disgrace that is Al Gore is gathering strength if only from the fact that he wil not debate. Fard Muhammad wrote at 10:01 AM on Nov-10-2009: Love the show. Sorry I missed the live show down by the lake today. Hope to see you next time you're in town. osagebowler wrote at 9:00 AM on Nov-10-2009: Dennis, Your show at Navy Pier is the sound of courage. Davey Crockett wrote at 8:47 AM on Nov-09-2009: Dennis, Love your showman! I'd like to know from Robert Spencer, how he moves about all over the nation with the Deer Hunter Target , that so many radicals, He writes and talks about, have mentally painted on him..I think He's a brilliant man I have had the honor to meet him in D.C. a couple of years ago at a Symposium. The man has soo many death threats.. How does he deal daily with life, safely? Love to come down to Navy Pier with my pal Geno tomorrow but don't have tickets..Either way..We're still DM show bigtime FANS!! Hope You have a great Veterans Day. Davey Jared wrote at 1:51 PM on Nov-08-2009: Dennis, Christian is WRONG. $100k to 20,000 uninsured is 2 Trillion. The number you're looking for is $60,000. That works out to 1.2 Tril for 20k uninsured. Call it $240k for a family of 4 if you like the sound of that better. I could buy coverage for my family of 4 for 17 YEARS for that amount. These pigs in congress are "riding dirty" and we're not even getting a reach around. The illegals are getting that. Tony Wood wrote at 1:26 PM on Nov-07-2009: I wonder when Obamas Kanye moment is going to happen? Oops...just did. Ghengis Ken wrote at 11:15 AM on Nov-07-2009: Hey, Dennis! When you played the Krupa Shofar bit the other day, it reminded me of a killer drum battle between Krupa and Buddy Rich that's on UTube. Check out Sammy diggin' it in the background. Just search "gene krupa buddy rich drum battle" and enjoy. Bee-you-tea-ful! Also . . . the Der Bingle/Satchmo duet proves that white men can jump! GemRyiler wrote at 9:24 AM on Nov-06-2009: Is Hulk Hogan a graduate of the Terry Garvin School of Self Defense?? I would really like to know. Thanks, -GemRyiler Larry E. wrote at 7:19 AM on Nov-06-2009: About Obama's "shout out" -- NewsBusters reports: "Crow's name is not included on the Society's Medal of Honor recipient list. He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in August. Obama, often described as "cerebral" by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow." Simile Samurai wrote at 7:54 PM on Nov-05-2009: Dang it, Denny-do...you've filled my head with Der Bingle & Sachmo! Seriously, Now You Has Jazz is MAGNIFICENT, so thanks for sharing. Hey, perhaps you should scat on air? ô¿ô Mel from Massachusetts wrote at 5:16 PM on Nov-04-2009: Hope you had a great Birthday! On Sarah Palin's Facebook page, she has a post that she is hoping to talk to you during her book tour. Say it IS so! CU wrote at 8:05 AM on Nov-04-2009: "The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse". --Jules Renard This reminded me of Dennis declining O'Reily's invite to sup with the Spinmaster in Chief. Dennis simply declined and didn't want to give an excuse but Billy pressed him. Budzilla wrote at 7:26 AM on Nov-04-2009: Who's your best friend! Lock your spouse and your dog in the car trunk for an hour. After opening the trunk, guess who's happy to see you. Palushki wrote at 5:34 AM on Nov-04-2009: Dennis, They're serving Unicorn omelettes at the White House this morning. Michael B. wrote at 8:11 PM on Nov-03-2009: Happy birthday Dennis, we share the same day and many of the same philosophies. Hope you have a great night. Michael in WI Mark in NH wrote at 8:11 AM on Nov-03-2009: Happy birthday Dennis! Sal insisted that all gifts be cleared through him. If you're wondering where your travel-sized "Dancing With The Stars" scoring paddles are I overnighted them to Sal's lair. It's an extra $10.00 charge by UPS for lair delivery but you're worth every penny. Hope you like them. Robert (Vancouver) wrote at 8:24 AM on Nov-02-2009: Hey Dennis, I'm curious whether you heard of Boeing's latest moves? I wrote about it here: http://pelalusa.blogspot.com/2009/11/tale-of-two-states.html One wonders if Washington State is headed the way of California? Robert W. Vancouver Mark in NH wrote at 6:51 AM on Nov-02-2009: Dennis, my Dr. Corsi costume was a great hit on Halloween. The mask and trench coat with the secret transmitter worked out great! Too bad I couldn't afford to rent the optional black helicopter to follow me around. Maybe next year... James wrote at 10:10 PM on Oct-29-2009: Dennis, I'll add my two cents, backed by the gold standard, on Nick DiPaolo. He had me in stitches on your last 4th Hour and on your 10/28 show. I don't think I'll ever again be able to look at a thin-skinned person without bursting out in laughter. The man deserves his own show! Robert (Vancouver) wrote at 9:32 AM on Oct-29-2009: Greetings from Canada's Left Coast, Dennis! Two quick questions: 1. How did you & Sal originally meet? 2. Do you think there was something unique about your parents that lead both you & your brother into show business? Robert W. Gary F. wrote at 9:26 AM on Oct-29-2009: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Man, I needed a laugh badly and you delivered in spades today. You have such a great show and your guests are always awesome. BTW, Larry Miller and Nick DiPaolo are comic gods. Please sir, may I have another! Ryan Wills wrote at 5:28 AM on Oct-29-2009: Dennis, love the show! Earlier today I learned that apparently it's not a good idea to look for Chuck Norris on the internet. Go to Google, type in "Location of Chuck Norris", and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky Button"...prepare for a good laugh. Keep up the great work on the show! Rick Corso wrote at 2:02 PM on Oct-28-2009: YES, Dennis!! Get Nick DiPaolo a show. He hits it out of the park every time. Way out! You can be his O'Reilly. Tugboat Pauly wrote at 9:12 AM on Oct-28-2009: Blago's blog: http://www.GovernorRod.com -- TP George Goodwin wrote at 3:07 PM on Oct-27-2009: Nick DiPaolo was great today. You guys volleying back and forth were a hoot! As to a Nick DiPaolo Show. If you build it, I will come. Thanks for the great hour of laughter. Thomas M. wrote at 1:10 PM on Oct-27-2009: Dennis get this guy Nick a show for God's sake we need some laughs in these BS times and I am tired of the Hannity rants. We all need to laugh as we all drive to the Poor House! Robert (Vancouver) wrote at 7:01 AM on Oct-27-2009: Good morning from Vancouver, Dennis!

Tony Wood wrote at 1:03 AM on Oct-24-2009: I really Enjoy your show Dennis. Its the only one I have to listen to with a dictionary in hand. Keep it up. JOHN wrote at 8:40 PM on Oct-22-2009: Warning Will Rodgers!!! Never ever listen to the 4th hour from your ipod while driving! I had three near accidents on the way home and it is only a nine mile trip! The second incident resulted in me being pulled over for laughing while driving! It was only when I played Nick's joke about Obama being thin skinned to the officer was I able to be let go without a ticket. The cop was not driving very well either as he also pulled away with sobbing tears in his eyes from laughing! Martin wrote at 10:31 AM on Oct-22-2009: Hello Dennis... Listened to your 4th hour while out hiking yesterday. Great show and very funny. I found myself laughing out loud as I walked along the trail. Keep it up. Thanks.

You have excellent judgment on what comes out of your pie hole. You handled the whole process with a smile and love in your voice. You made my day,Pal! Dave Michele B. wrote at 6:39 AM on Oct-21-2009: Hey Dennis, Just heard that Thadeus McCotter wants to give us a tax deduction for pet care - up to $3,500 per year. I have always enjoyed him on your show, but you must ask him about this next time he is on. Do I now have to subsidize little Jimmy's hamster's chemo? What is happening to this country? Mike in McKinleyville wrote at 1:44 PM on Oct-20-2009: Dennis, A month or so ago, there was talk about the movie "Motel Hell". That was the one about the farmer that was burying victims in the backyard alive and fattening them up to make sausage out of them. Just FYI. That movie is on IFC this month and it's on this afternoon (Tuesday) at 4:15 pacific time. George Goodwin wrote at 12:07 PM on Oct-20-2009: What the Congress is cooking up with Obamacare is the worst of all possible worlds. They mandate you buy Insurance but the penalties for not buying are minor, so many will opt out until they get sick, including the young and healthy. The rest of us who have to have insurance due to our age or families etc. will see our premiums skyrocket. Soon people will be howling for a cheaper option. So in comes the Public Option. The liberals win! Now the question is: Are they so clever they know this will happen? Or are they so stupid, they don't know it will happen? Take your pick. Fard Muhammad wrote at 11:06 AM on Oct-20-2009: Greetings, Mr. Miller. During the ephemeral 4th Hour today, you discussed briefly about bumper stickers. I'm currently working on building a web-based store selling "Anti-Bumper-Sticker" bumper stickers. One of them (and the one I have on my car right now) is one that reads "Nobody Cares what your bumper stickers says". It can be read as a response to all the Obama bumper stickers you referred to, but it's mainly against the stickers in general. I can send one to you for the bulletin board in the studio gratis, if you'd like. Don J. wrote at 4:22 PM on Oct-19-2009: Was watching Noble House on Netflix. One of the cast is Burt Kwouk. Has quite a filmography. Gotta wonder if he's related to the Kwouk Brothers of California, don't ya? Don J in Ft Lauderdale osagebowler wrote at 8:57 PM on Oct-18-2009: Dennis; Lately, you're on fire!, and Sal and the guys sound like they're extremely flammable, right in there with you. Fard Muhammad wrote at 12:04 AM on Oct-18-2009: Almost two years ago, I called in to the show during a Dennis Ex Machina segment saying that being a fan of yours was one of many reasons one particular young lady had any interest in chatting with me when she read my profile on an internet dating site. We started to date, and whenever the conversation went to you and your comedy, we had a nickname for you: "The Great One". Fast forward to today. That young lady is now my wife, and on the 23rd, we will have been together in matrimony for 5 years. While you and I agreed during my call from 2007 that you weren't a major reason for us getting together, you were a catalyst in what you referred to as the "bouillabaisse of love" for me and m'lady. Thanks again. fm Fard Muhammad wrote at 5:13 PM on Oct-16-2009: We'll be in serious trouble if the Prez wins the Nobel Prize in Economics. If that happens, I'm moving to Alecbaldwinia. Mick H. wrote at 8:31 AM on Oct-16-2009: Dennis, Should you or your staff need to contact me this weekend, I must inform you that I will be in my backyard and quite busy working on the final stages of a prototype helium balloon, airship, or what I have termed: a stabilized universal elastic, space unifying eco-module, pseudo-dirigible identified object or, abbreviated, a “Sue Sue Pseudo I O” (with respect to Phil Collins). My plan is to finish the craft, inflate it with flammable helium, and insufficiently tether it to weak stakes in the ground in the back yard, leaving a small astro-travelers compartment at the base of the craft, completely accessible and unsecured from neighborhood children and pets. Just thought I would let you know. Mick in St. Louis Kurt Kassiotis wrote at 3:38 PM on Oct-15-2009: Hypocrisy alert: Isaiah Thomas (former Guard from the Detroit Pistons) was famously quoted as ignorantly saying Larry Bird was overrated and would be seen as just an average basketball player if he were black. A stupid statement and racial if not racist. Isaiah later became a coach and GM and part owner of NBA teams. Rush makes a similar ignorant/racial comment about Donovan McNabb and he is beaten to a pulp by the media, and several years after that comment is kicked-out out of a NFL part-owner bid???? I'm not Rush fan, but the double standard is not good for these supposed post-racial times. What a joke. James wrote at 10:23 AM on Oct-15-2009: It has just been announced that President Barack Obama will receive Motor Trend Magazine's 2010 Truck of the Year Award. Mike G. wrote at 7:43 AM on Oct-15-2009: Hey Dennis, So, Roger Godell has set the standard for participation in the NFL. I for one am glad to see it. His statement- "I've said many times before we're all held to a high standard here, and I think divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL, absolutely not." I'm not a big fan of Rush but apparently you can't participate in the NFL if you've even been accused of saying something true or not. That's holding an organization to a high bar. I guess the convicted felons, accused wife and girlfriend beaters, tax cheats, drunk drivers, accused rapists, and other assorted miscreants currently receiving large checks each week for their participation in the NFL will be receiving their pink slips today.I say with tongue only partially in cheek.

In my line of work I find myself surrounded by simple minds, & I've been in non-stop debate mode ever since the POTUS campaign began in earnest (even more so since the coronation). For obvious reasons, healthcare deform is a hot topic, but the more I talk to people the more I have to wonder... Does Obamacare cover bleeding hearts & constipation of the brain? If not, we should all just give up now... Keep up the great work, Dennis! Peyton C. wrote at 7:29 AM on Oct-13-2009: In an effort to curry favor with the gay community, Obama has promised he will do away with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at some unspecified time in the future. An alternative bill, "Ask and if I tell you I am gay, Don't worry... I'm here to defend my country, not have sex" enjoys wide support in the gay community. Critics, however, say its too deferential to gays and is a bit "clumsy" in its wording. A simpler bill designed to put the issue to rest once and for all is expected to be presented next week. It's called simply "Don't." Jack Flintstone wrote at 3:30 PM on Oct-12-2009: Dennis, re: your next vacation guest host list...PLEASE get uncle Ted to host at least a show or two! I love that guy. Some other requests for guest include: Mark Steyn, Tucker Carlson (he is a surprisingly good talk show host), Dana Carvey, and Frank Caliendo. Also, any chance of a Ray Charles bumper music Wed?. Great shows, as always, Dennis. Thanks! James wrote at 8:18 PM on Oct-11-2009: Dennis, Steven Wright once mused, "Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the oceans would be if that didn't happen." Eureka! A solution to the rise of the oceans due to global warming. A Federal program to accelerate sponge reproduction. Let Philippe Cousteau and his crew inject sponges with a fertility drug so we have octosponges. Billions and billions of sponges! That'll keep the streets of Manhattan dry in 2057! J.

Dan looked at Forrest Gump after he won the Medal of Honor? "They gave YOU... the Nobel Peace Prize?!" Fard Muhammad wrote at 9:32 AM on Oct-09-2009: In regards to SNL poking fun of you after you left, I remember there was a bit right before Johnny Carson retired about his last show (with Carvey and Hartman doing their fantastic performance), and they had pre-taped segments from other cast members as other talk show hosts wishing him well- including Carvey's rendition of you basically pleading Johnny for help because no one was watching your show. Davey Crocket wrote at 9:25 AM on Oct-09-2009: They should call the award"the Poser peace Prize". He was 11 days into the office when the submissions were closed.

I have good hunting land and fishing at home. I sometimes fish for a bluegill breakfast before going to work, but don't hunt on the property, mainly because of other home chores monopolizing my time.In this economy, though, Ted has me considering a deer kill with a homemade osage bow,if work should get scarce for me.It's almost too easy here to be sport, though. Ted is always educational in the most authentic ways, and his instruction is valuable, whether one is a hunter or not. GREAT SHOW.

Instead of countries bidding to host the UN, we could get countries to PAY for not hosting them. This would free up some prime property in NYC, stop burdening the people of New York State and NYC with the cost of catering to the diplomats, a Win-Win for New York State.

Well, not so fast! One Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) just upped the cost to double that by inserting a provision that requires the use of union labor, which must be shipped to and housed in Guam instead of using the available local labor.

I joined and here's a nugget from the first newsletter: As I demonstrate in my textbook “Economic Logic” (now in its third edition), time and time again, free market capitalism provides a way to reduce costs, while improving the quality and quantity of goods and services. Capitalism isn’t about rationing goods and services; it’s about making goods and services cheaper and better. That’s the American way, and it has worked for more than 200 years. Just look at what has happened to the cost and quality of two medical services that aren’t covered by insurance, elective cosmetic surgery and Lasik eye surgery. Both have improved immensely during the past 20 years, while costs have plummeted. The reason? The user pays, so the user has a reason to shop around, while the provider has a reason to improve service and reduce price.

Lane in Illinois CU wrote at 3:42 PM on Aug-24-2009: "WHY WON'T THE BANK GIVE ME MY EQUITY BACK?" - I was out of town last week during the 10-21-09 show (just listened) right after Dirk, a caller asked why the bank doesn't "give him his equity back". I'd like to answer that.... The bank is not your partner in the purchase of your home. For those who made hundreds of thousands of dollars buying & selling during "normal" real estate cycles or during the boom, who among them offered the bank a share of the profit they made? Ridiculous thought huh? The bank is lending you money and taking the title to the house as collateral that you will re-pay the loan. What or how much they loan you is based on another parties (the appraiser that you hired) assessment of the value of the collateral. You went to the bank and told them what the house was worth. The fact that your house is worth less now has no bearing on the banks claim against your home (Pre-Obama that is?.. ). In the end, even after the loss of the down payment, the bank still lost more than you; are you going to help them out with that? To explain even further, had you kept the money you used as a down payment in the bank, you would likely still not want to use that money to make payments on a house that is worth less than the mortgage balance?. But you'd have that choice. And, if you did decide to stop paying, the bank is entitled to all the cash you have in the bank (you signed personally) to make up for the deficiency of what they get at foreclosure and what the mortgage balance was? so, you'd of lost it anyway! *Keep in mind that in most countries in the world, the only way to buy a home is to pay cash....

Right at the end of the song, and once more about two thirds of the way through, is Christian's "Ka-KAW!" (I'm not sure on that spelling). So completes the 5-4-3 Dennis to Sal to Christian DP.

We need humor of your style now more than ever. Even Sal with his goofball views gets me to laugh; you two are strange together, but that is what makes your show work. The left hand view of things seems much goofier when logic and common sense are applied in your manner, and it gives an immediate comparison of thought with you and Sal. Keep it up. Unfortunately, here in Alaska we only get you for 2 hours, then they put that chump Dan Fagin on. Can you do something about that? I have called the station and they totally blew me off.

Technically, it was the Czarina Alexndra Romanov over whom Rasputin held so much sway, partially because she felt the Mad Priest could cure her son of leukemia...The Czar was intolerant of any complaints about Rasputin's influence over the Czarina, so it was a de facto beguiling.

The video of him taking the question from the young girl ("I see mean signs")was very Stepfordy. Watch how he watches her; was that polite attentiveness or a raptor focused on an hours derv? When he realized she said her part and it was finally his turn to talk again, he shot her a fake politician shark like grin, reminiscent of the 'vegetarian' great white in Nemo. Or perhaps better is Yul Brynner in West World. Anyway, he looked super-frazzled and I think if we just go to the ear taunts now, we can get him to snap on live TV. The other clips made me realize President Obama can't have any friends or he wouldn't still be turning into a marble statue of a greek God or heroic Russian peasant whenever he isn't being personally engaged. It's amazing how blind we are to ourselves sometimes; somebody needs to tell POTUS (fast) that he better knock it off if he doesn't want to become a lighting rod of scorn and ridicule. It won't be long before kids feel sorry for him, just like they did for William Hung on American Idol. Your, "Great Speaker" vs. "Gets a Pass from the Media" self-debate, was beautiful as was your padlin' of Pelosi. POTUS is as dangerous as Biden when he is forced away from the teleprompters.

DAVID LEONHARDT: So how do you - how do we deal with it? THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that's part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It's not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance.

My idea, although impractical, could get a great dialogue going and expose the hypocrisy of this situation. All Democrats, including politicians, must take a public health care plan for which they are taxed. They can also opt to sponsor the clueless, since they care so much for them. All Republicans, including politicians, can keep or enroll in a private plan. Both parties are responsible for reforming their own system, policies, etc. This would have far-reaching implications and consequences to include changes in abortion frequencies, illegal immigration, voter registration fraud (no more need for literal "Mickey Mouse" voters) and much, much, more.

They lived very, very frugally to raise their children and did not over indulge them or apologize for the lack there of. Why does she have to be sitting in her living room, after she has written another check for her quarterly tax payment, she still saves money at 83 and generates an income. Why don't we just pull back on allowing "gang members" that are rolled into our trauma centers on an hourly basis, without a dime's worth of insurance, no will and just pull the plug. I know we would be pulling the plug on shows like Crime 360, First 48, and all the various shows built around gang violence and their victims. Also for consideration, would Senator Kennedy qualify for treatment for brain cancer at 76 under the plan he is pushing. I know he has a big cash vault but without that would he get treatment.

Not so often that it becomes this contentious Miller v. Salman ugly give and take every hour, but just a little bit more often. For instance your discussion with Sal yesterday about his obvious blind eye and free-pass for Obama's unevolved ignorant stance on gay marriage, while he skewers Cheney who is still pretty crusty on the topic, but is now clearly more evolved on the matter. It was one of the most revealing times on your show where Sal showed his unfortunate true colors of hatred for Cheney and blind punch-drunk love for Obama....though I do like Sal and find him to be a thoughtful and pretty tolerant liberal (which is a rarity). Too many liberals are so enamored by Obama, they're giving him a pass on everything, including the media, it's not good for the country....too much is going unquestioned, thogh I'm heartened by the blue dog dems and some others that are starting to see the light and voice some questions if not outright opposition and resistance.....it's really sad and I'm truly concerned. Love your show though....I listen to the podcast almost every day. Great interviews too.

I'd like to drill that down a little bit further: he is a great actor if his part requires him to portray confusion. The Matrix really solidified that for me. I think you'll find that he was great in the first one, kind of "meh" in the second one, and bad in the third. As the character's confusion goes down, so too goes his acting chops. Keep up the great show, Dennis. AvgDude wrote at 5:23 AM on Jul-05-2009: I've read from many people who are wondering what is Sarah Palin's political future. To me, it's obvious that she has none.

Let this be a lesson to all good people who wish to serve their country in office. This country is not run by good people.

How about this example: "Buffett performed in Hong Kong on January 18, 2008 for a concert that raised US$63,000 for the Foreign Correspondents' Club Charity Fund. . . .

I may end up agreeing with them, but my guess the reason they don't commit to the great political debate is that they would end up aping Obama's teleprompter with some psuedo-centrist, politically correct, feel good blather that hasn't a prayer of working out in the real world. Carter was the proto-Obama and it took a man like Reagan to revive the American Spirit. We invoke Reagan because he appealed to all Americans, not just certain hyphenated Americans and he elucidated sound foreign and economic policies, like capitalism and peace through strength - and it worked! Rush and VP Cheney, go on record constantly with their policy positions and so far, they make the most sense to me (witness Rush's speech in CA earlier in the year). I know where they stand on almost every issue, and while I don't always agree, they don't put their finger in the wind before they speak and they aren't trying to trick the masses with elaborate yet inept lies. Does anyone know what Colin Powell believes - on anything other than Obama? I'm ready for the debate over the soul of the Republican Party - I just wish these "progressive" Republicans would grow a pair and get in the game.

Look, she has always been the Rainman of the U. S. Congress, and now that the smoke alarm has gone off, she's banging her head against the door trying to escape. And as entertaining as this is to watch, this is a moment for long-term strategy instead of short-term lived comedy. No one is totally useless, and if you'll excuse the oxymoron, she's the perfect bad example. She COULD BE the poster child for a conservative landslide in 2010, but she has to BE AROUND for that type of tectonic political shift to take place. Someone needs to throw the crone a rope; to stand on the end of the hole and shout down, 'Nancy, drop the shovel and grab the rope' We'll pull you up!? Just make certain she's not pulled ALL the way up; keep her around; twisting in the wind. It may sound harsh, but politics has always been a blood sport to the rep from California's 8th district.

Every time I heard him speak during the Bush years I was always grateful there was an adult in Washington. Your first guest missed the big picture: VP Chaney is the man of the hour (year); he is at the moment the most effective foil against the Obama juggernaut out there. Who else, Republican or Democrat, is man enough to command the whole of liberal medias attention at will to get out the conservative counterpoint? This is all academic anyway; there is no way Cheney is tucking tail; he had to bite his tongue for 8 years and nobody is shutting him up now.

I personally think that the article was contrived. I think the Washington Post columnist made these "sources" up. I stopped reading it once they said, "Cheney has been particularly vocal in his defense of the administrations 'harsh interrogation techniques.'" Right then & there the neutrality of the article ceased to exist & I exited the page. YOU NEED TO HAVE DICK CHENEY ON YOUR SHOW DENNIS!

I also liked his biography of MacArthur, which began with this description: "He was a great thundering paradox of a man, noble and ignoble, inspiring and outrageous, arrogant and shy, the best of men and the worst of men, the most protean, most ridiculous, and most sublime. No more baffling, exasperating soldier ever wore a uniform. Flamboyant, imperious, and apocalyptic, he carried the plumage of a flamingo, could not acknowledge errors, and tried to cover up his mistakes with sly, childish tricks. Yet he was also endowed with great personal charm, a will of iron, and a soaring intellect. Unquestionably he was the most gifted man-at-arms this nation has produced." more baffling, exasperating soldier ever wore the uniform.

There is no evidence that their AKs were pointed at the Captain. I think we should get the Obama administration to consider legal action against the corresponding second and third snipers.
