Like most sane people, I'm not all that excited about the New Hampshire primary (Digression : When I was twenty-one I dated a girl from New Hampshire. She called it 'Cow Hampshire'. I'm sure I asked her why but I don't know if I actually listened to her answer because I was probably only pretending to be interested in what she had to say in the hope of eventually getting her nak--... Well. You you don't really want to hear about all of that, fine upstanding painfully earnest recycling fair trade coffee progressive that you are.)
So, anyway here are a few things that aren't deserving of a post of their own but I needed to empty out the junk drawer, clean out the closet, scrape the lint trap, and set fire to the garage. Hey, you clean out your garage your way...
Onward.
- Roger Clemens is a dick. I never much cared for him and it wasn't just because he played for the Yankees, which is reason enough. I disliked him well before that. His story has more holes in it than Mike Cameron's strike zone and only a complete ass would tape a conversation that involved his accusers sick son and then play it a press conference. Total dick move.
- Bill O'Reilly tries to talk to Barrack Obama and makes a fool out of himself. Bill-O has been around long enough to know that the easiest way to get candidates attention would have been to yell, " Motherfucker, I want an interview!".
- Sorry. Nobody cared. I didn't hear one person today even mention that this game was on TV tonight. Not one. Without a playoff series the BCS is a bigger joke than the Heisman, but still not as big a joke as the VH-1 Rock Honors or the Human Events Man of the Year.
- I wish John Sweeney was still in office.
- Maybe I'm just being shallow, but I'm just not sure anyone should have to take Michael O'Hanlon seriously until he learns how to comb his fucking hair.
- Congratulations to Burger King for their Whopper Freakout commercials which may also serve as public service spots raising everyones self esteem by portraying Whopper aficionados as the kind of people who make eugenics if not desirable , at least worth looking into. No wonder the Islamofalafelists think we're ripe for the picking.
- Because of the writers strike there will be no Golden Globes show this Sunday. While the Oscars are often referred to as the Gay Super Bowl, the Golden Globes tends to be more along the lines of the Gay Second Game of the Stanley Cup Finals. Nonetheless, we shall all miss the globes.
- Lastly, we are making some format changes to the TBogg 2.0 (you're soaking in it). Now the top three posts will be shown in their entirety because, Jeebus knows, how much you people hate making that extra click. If you start getting all chubby-handed from lack of exercise, don't come whining to me. And would it kill you to lay off the Whoppers?

MUCH better! And it has finally stoppped raining in San Diego!
Oh, thank you for the Sweeney story.
Reportedly Sweeney found the lovely and now-departed “Gaia” (you know, the one Mr. Moral Values beat like she was an 80-year-old Miami election volunteer) at a strip club. I guess he’s just a marrying kinda guy out shopping.
Look, Mr. Smarty Pants, call it liberal whining if you must, but I got the rheumatiz or something in my clicky finger (well, in all of them, actually) & the less clicking I have to do the better. Try being a more gracious host. That is, don’t act like Roger Clemens, who, as you said, has seemed like a total ass every time he’s opened his ugly Texas yap, and has confirmed his asshattery w/ every comment he’s made since this whole thing broke. (Well, he didn’t really say much for the first couple of wks., did he?) Today’s whinery (I was literally able to see & hear him say “rat’s ass” — except they bleeped “ass” — in quick succession on the three local network channels’ sports segments tonight) was pretty much the icing on the urinal cake. And he also “put his butt on the line,” & “worked his tail off.” What the hell goes on in those locker rooms?
As a resident of Congressman Kickass’ former district, I have to say he’s done us all proud with his post-congressional activities. His drunken, stupid shit got covered up when he was still in office. Karma’s a bitch ain’t it John?
We want the top 8, or all the front page, to show the whole post. If you do not comply, we will take June Jones away from Hawaii! Wait… we will do something else awful!
Roger Clemens hates the FDL blog as well!
Picture Obama in Clarence William’s fro. Go ahead, I dare you! God, I always wanted Peggy Lipton,. Her and Diana Rigg.
Back in my day when reading Tbogg we didn’t have to click through to another page…that’s the way it was and we liked it.
Don’t you mean Roger Clemens likes the new format?
Roger Clemems says, whatever you do, don’t let them read the whole post without clicking!
What an ass that Clemens is…
Oh hell yeah, I well remember sweet Miss Lipton.
Especially that one episode where she was wearing that little crocheted caftan-like top with all the little holes in it…and I would have come up behind her in the shower and taken my falafel and started to slowly, slowly rub it arou……er, where was I? Oh yeah, at the tender age of 14, I REALLY liked Peggy a lot.
That picture makes me think they should all three be president. They would be in brain power equal to what the Mod Squad is in looks. And there sure are enough problems for all of them to work on.
the guy in the middle looks Randy Jackson.
My fingers are already fatter. Yay.
That was weird.
I couldn’t find a comment window for this post, until I went to comment on the previous post, then clicked on the link to this one with “open in new window”…
…as Pogo might say, “nemmine that.”
the Golden Globes tends to be more along the lines of the Gay Second Game of the Stanley Cup Finals.
I think you made Michale Berube cry…and you almost had to buy me a new keyboard.
Thank God. Arthur was getting very irritable about the clicky stuff - and not seeing the Boyz right up front on Thursdays make him downright hostile.
“only a complete ass would tape a conversation that involved his accusers sick son and then play it a press conference. Total dick move.”
Only a guilty man would do what Clemens did. “I just want someone to tell the truth.” Really Rog? OK. It seems to me that McNamee did that and now you’re desperately trying to cover your ass.
How his actions over the course of the 60 Minutes interview and this classless debacle are supposed to help leave me scratching my uncombed head.
Clicking? No problem. Why, I have the technology to click. Effortlessly, with a single click of a mouse.
It’s the wait. That long, long post-click wait. Firedog’s site needs more technology.
I vote for Mighty Mitt for the Mod Squad role Captain Greer, the buttoned-down cop who never understood these crazy hippies and Negroes.
I like it here
“only a complete ass would tape a conversation that involved his accusers sick son and then play it a press conference. Total dick move.”
Ask Floyd Landis how well stupid phone tricks worked for him!
Landis and Clemens are proving that the brain is no muscle…
I will miss the Golden Globes; all the celebs look like they’re snockered at that big party. It’s fun.
Peggy Lipton and Diana Rigg? Mmmmmmmmm…
I’ve recently been revisiting Twin Peaks, and I must say that, twenty years after Mod Squad, Peggy Lipton was still quite the stunner.
Thanks for the morning laughs TBogg….
Hizzhoner
I click on a hyperlink on the word “globes” and all I get is Mark Steyn?
That’s harsh, Boggster.
Born in 1946, this is Peggy Lipton’s picture on a story from 5/7/2007. Not bad for 61?
Yay. I loves me some TBogg. You know, I only sporadically read you before you buttoned onto Firedoglake, so for me, your arrival is a good thing. I’ll follow if you leave, as long as you don’t get boring.
Thanks for making the top three entries available in their entirety so I don’t have to click thru. Of course it will fuck up my New Years resolution to get more exercise, but it’s all for the good.
By the way, the University of Hawaii’s losing June Jones is a bigger story here in the Islands than was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The modern media: helping keep things in perspective.
I don’t think “perspective” is a word that can be applied in any way to a country where nothing can be done about a unjustified war the public overwhelmingly hates that is accomplishing nothing, but Congress will move heaven and earth to hold hearings about baseball. I’m already dreading the pandering speeches that every Congressperson in trouble will deliver about the War on Drugs.
Yes, but what about the Thompson Twins? Does this mean we won’t have Law n’ Order to . . . um, . . . er, . . . will they be put up for adoption?
Damn, I was sure they were the key to Fredrick of Hollywood’s secret plan to win the coveted dairy farmer vote.
Thanks for the better front page. NNow if the response time would improve, life would be complete. Well, sort of.
I’d be OK with the clickthrough if it were an old-school Ezra Klein thing, where it just expanded the post but kept you on the front page. That way you aren’t always having to hit back and scroll down after being ambushed by a 2-sentence throwaway post with a deceptive “read more” button…
Hey, I’m just a rube from Ioway, but aren’t them steroidals supposed to make you big and beefy strong like Mrs. Canseco’s husband?
Rog seems to be a poster boy for my personal philosophy on life: quit breaking’ the pill in half; take the whole thing!”
And Elizabeth Montgomery. Maybe it was the witch powers. Julie Newmar, of course, goes without saying.
Not to defend ad writers, who’re the most wretched, miserable writers under the sun, but they know better than anyone what they’re doing with those Burger King commercials, and I’m amazed they keep getting away with it. I have no doubt that they cast those actors to caricature classes of people they most wanted to ridicule (old cranks, young emos, middle-aged WalMarters). The self-mockery and customer-mockery have been features of the brand since Crispin Porter + Bogusky got the account. Here’s one of CPB’s earliest ads, which was also released in the form of a surreal, 30-minute infomercial:

Partial Victory!
Now ditch the Unity 08 crap and give us full postings all the way down the line, with a list of recent post titles along the side, so those of us who objected to the forced clicking can also avoid some forced scrolling.
Jonah Goldberg loves clicking and hates bassets. Enough said.
Is it just me, or does O’Hanlon look like Lyle Lovett in that picture?
Sometimes I click “read more” for naught. Useless exercise of clicking finger is not productive.
Roger Clemens is an overweight, arrogant, 40 something, liar millionaire, who probably beats on his family. He lives in Texas, so that is some form of justice for me.
TBogg, motherfucker, where ya been?
Yay. About time. Tbogg is called up to the show, then Tbogg changes the show, a little bit.
Oh yeah speaking of the show, Roger Clemens is an asshole.
…and then I got kicked off the TBogg blogroll… -sigh- first Atrios and now TBogg. My puppies are crying.
Yeah! Didn’t you hear? BillO saved the constitution by shoving that Obama staffer!
At least that’s how he’s spinning it. I suspect that the constitution is not amused.
Right there in that district with you, FMB.
Oh, what a happy day that was, when KG kicked Sweeney’s ass.
All professianimal jocks are dicks. I can think of several far worse than Clemens: Canseco, McGwire, those old San Diego Padre John Birchers.
Cal Ripken? Wifebeater. Gehrig? Muslim terrorist. Willie Mays? Pedophile meth-head. Maria Sharapova? Man-boy love association leather teddybear. Gretsky? Spanks Janet Jones….
Uh…. what was the topic?
