I so appreciate what is done here, all of the good writing and wonderful insights, and on those Keithless nights, a well done Worst Persons List, and it is hard to live without that. This was a fantastic write up of Friday's show, which had me chortling from the first sentence. Box turtles, indeed, naughty little amphibians that they are. Until MUSTO showed up, and, yes, he was not his usual acerbic self, I had begun to think that with the move to the big city, the show was also being turned up a notch from its already high level, making a run for the so often tired Network newscasts. I will add that after the names of the five female named most likely to put out, there was a warning: "Anyone named Tonya Kelly, stay home tonight." I also really appreciate Rachel Maddow and loved that she was the set of show instead of in a box. She is bright, fast, and always amused by the absurdity of whatever situation they are discussing. I have spent the weekend trying to explain the fine points of baseball to an 8 year old who can quote every Patriots and Tom Brady statistic but persists in believing that if a runner crossed home plate, it is a home run. Game 4 and a possible sweep coming up. WOW, where to start, other than GO SOX!!!

Pull my string. I dare you." BTW, one-hour FNiA this evening, followed by Matt Damon in the Network TV premiere of <i>The Bourne Identity</i> and <i>Dateline NBC</i>. Something about the Boston Red Sox going for a sweep against the Colorado Pebbles. Dana Perillo: “Go ahead. Pull my string. I dare you.”

Damn! Some people have more money that sense. And Rachel Maddow has joined Emma Thompson on my if I was ever tempted list. Not that it works that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I usually like it when he gets his bitch on, but something seemed off yesterday.(accepts Bronze as Worst Blogger in The World) Stef, when I get a computer with better sound, I'll make it a point to listen. RM is the bomb, especially compared to that segment from the fixed noise morning show where the woman's blouse was so low she was falling out and stuff.Morning show is too early for cleavage. My name has never made a poll like that, but it is in "Mambo #5." Maybe Musto is partially my fault.

Followed by wondering if they just walk up to guys and say "so, what 5 names put out?" and then wondering if the guys don't just laugh hysterically at the questioner thinking this must be a Daily Show interview? Musto seemed fairly subdued for him. Keith needs to remove ALL mentions of lips in his questioning of Musto.

Man, that was SO CLOSE. Olbermann pitched a perfect game right up to the last batter ... and then threw a slow pitch right to the middle of the strike zone. Fucking Michael Musto. He brings the entire calibre of the show down into the muck with him. Michael Musto and whoever on staff keeps inviting him on the show ... tonight's WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD.

As for my comment, I will only admit that Miss Stef and I had a brief IM conversation that consisted almost entirely of capital letters and exclamation points. We may have been wearing aluminum headgear at the time. Houstonian, Stef and Becky were indeed in there at #5 and #4 respectively.
