Solid premiers.

You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.

Mortimer, your brother is not well. We better call an ambulance.

Fuck him! Now, you listen to me! I want trading reopened right now. Get those brokers back in here! Turn those machines back on!. Turn those machines back on!

Later-

Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That’s the other guy’s problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series – they don’t know what pressure is. In this building, it’s either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One minute you’re up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don’t go to college and they’ve repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?

Dave hosts Martin Lawrence and Steel Magnolia.  Jon and Stephen in repeats from 1/25.  Alton does chocolate x 2.  Conan hosts Jeff Bridges, Nick Swardson, and Far East Movement.

Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, “Hey, we’re losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain’t gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain’t gonna f… my wife ain’t gonna make love to me if I got no money!” So they’re panicking right now, they’re screaming “SELL! SELL!” to get out before the price keeps dropping. They’re panicking out there right now, I can feel it.

1 Assange faces ‘denial of justice’: lawyer

by Danny Kemp, AFP

1 hr 52 mins ago

LONDON (AFP) – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange would face a “flagrant denial of justice” if extradited to Sweden over allegations of rape and molestation, his lawyer told a court Monday.

The 39-year-old Australian could face the death penalty if further extradited to the United States on separate charges relating to WikiLeaks, his lawyer Geoffrey Robertson said at the start of a two-day extradition hearing in London.

Swedish prosecutors want to question the whistle-blowing website’s chief over allegations he raped one woman in Sweden and molested another, moves which Assange claims are politically motivated.

By Anthony Boadle, Reuters

Mon Feb 7, 3:08 am ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – AOL Inc has agreed to buy The Huffington Post, the influential and rapidly growing news, analysis and lifestyle website, for $315 million, the struggling U.S. Internet company announced on Monday.

The move will create a media group that will have a combined base of 117 million visitors a month in the United States, and reach 270 million people globally, AOL said in a statement.

The deal follows efforts by AOL’s chief executive Tim Armstrong to turn around the dial-up Internet access business by trying to turn it into a media and entertainment powerhouse, despite difficulties in attracting investors.

Not so many premiers.  Shrek 3 for you Mike Myers fans.

You have some dangerous machinery for sale here; I think you’re beggin’ for trouble on this one.

Most of this stuff is old crap my dad left behind.

Doc! You have a table over there with a sign that says- “Laser Death Ray Bargain Bin!”

Later-

Oh, it must be dreamy to have a costumed nemesis. Chasing you… wringing his gloved hands in concern of your every move.

You’re kidding, right?

It just seems so romantic.

SNL– Dana Carvey and Linkin Park.

Boondocks– The Return of the King.  The Venture Brothers– Tag Sale, You’re IT!.

Sweetie, isn’t that the guy from Depeche Mode?

Oh, no way! Where? Holy crap, he’s with a girl?

Oh yeah, that guy is totally straight. I saw a whole thing about him on the VH-1.

But he’s the guy from Depeche Mode! It’s impossible.

Straight.

Come on! He’s in Depeche Mode!

1 Protesters reject Egypt ruling party reshuffle

by Samer al-Atrush, AFP

1 hr 12 mins ago

CAIRO (AFP) – Senior members of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s ruling party resigned on Saturday, but demonstrators staging a 12th day of anti-regime protests rejected the shuffle as a cosmetic measure.

The resignations came after Mubarak huddled with his new government for the first time on, and an official said that the country’s stock exchange would remain closed indefinitely as the stand-off continues.

State television said the executive committee of the ruling National Democratic Party had resigned en masse. Among those stepping down was Mubarak’s son Gamal, once viewed as his heir apparent, state television reported.

The Steelers Have Already Lost

by Howard Fineman, The Huffington Post

Posted: February 4, 2011 06:06 PM

WASHINGTON — As a Pittsburgh native it pains me to say this but here goes: Even if the Steelers win the Super Bowl, they’ve already lost.

Fate, fashion and their own faults combine to put the Steelers in a no-win situation in Sunday’s matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

The Steelers are the bad guys. There is nothing they can do about it. If they win, it’s because they are rotten and brutal, or so it will be said. If they lose, they will have deserved it, because they are rotten and brutal, or so it will be said.

Why? Well, let’s start where we must, with Big Ben. His actions last year in that Georgia college town — even though they didn’t result in criminal charges — are too awful for most of the country, and (still) for many people in Pittsburgh, to stomach. Where diehard Steelers fans see a brave quarterback, millions of others see a cowardly, spoiled kid who used his posse to assist his sexual predations.

Puppy Bowl VII

With Bissell Kitty Halftime Show.

And now your Pedigree Starting Line Up-

It’s time for that annual tradition we look forward to every year (umm, that’s what makes it annual), Puppy Bowl VII.  Animal Planet will be running it in a continuous loop until 3 am, so if you miss any of the exciting action you’ll be able to catch up and you won’t look like a doofus tomorrow at the water cooler where I can almost assure you this will be a hot topic of conversation.

Among the things I notice from just that short clip is that they have fewer toys on the field which should make it a lot easier to follow and score.  I had a problem with last year’s choice of MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) which I contend should have gone to the beagle that scored no less than 3 times and not Jake the Chihuahua/Pug no matter how fast he runs.

My favorite part is the Bissell Kitty Halftime Show.

This year they’re introducing a ‘Kiss Cam’ and the Bunny Cheerleaders have been replaced by Chickens.  We’ll see how that works out.

So grab your nachos and beer and put your feet up in your Barcalounger and enjoy the thrill of this clash of bantams.
