1. Did you see Luke Russert................

Russert tried to get a coherent interview with Nugent, resulting with Nugent spewing vile, irrational vomit. The interview is posted here:

3. Well, there's four wasted minutes

And to think he really thinks he's being witty and relevant.

2. Teddy looks like he is afraid of catching teh gay!!

OTOH, the man with the bow tie, just caught a wiff of the pile of shit sitting next to him, and is trying to see who invited "douchebag".

4. Mr bow tie is Thomas Lauderdale and he's connecting with a genuine person

From Thomas Lauderdale's facebook:

To my left was a woman named Dina McKenna, who was married to a soldier who served in Iraq ... Came home, and died from the toxins released in the berms. She has become a political activist and, I think, is headed on a path in which she will run someday for office! Totally inspiring!

5. Thanks! I saw his name this morning, but could not remember it and didn't want to spend

a half hour looking it up. Then I would have forgotten what I was posting!

I'm sure Mr. Lauderdale was wondering what that shit smell was doing next to him.

I was totally not expecting to be seated next to Ted Nugent at the State of the Union .... but it was incredible. We talked about hunting ... in Texas (where he has lived for the past 10 years) and Michigan (where he grew up). Growing up he was inspired by Dick Dale ... and later by the British Invasion bands of the mid-60s ... The Yardbirds ... The Rolling Stones. He only tours in the summer. I asked him if he did USO tours. He has ... BUT is probably the only celebrity who carried his own machine gun. (Shockingly, I don't have a machine gun of my own.) He thought this year's Grammys were too "bubblegum" and childish. And, of all of his compositions, "Fred Bear" means the most to him ... people ask for it at their funerals, their barmitzvahs, their graduations ... "It doesn't get more "wow" than that," he said. At the end of the night, he shook my hand, and wished me luck. I thought he was a real gentleman.

9. Yes, but I chose to only heighlight the positive

Besides, that stuff about Nugent read like, well, like what a gentleman HAS to say about an asshole on a public forum.

10. That's how I read it as well.

We've seen Pink Martini live five or six times now. They are always delightful though the last two times they seemed to have been less energetic than usual, possibly because China Forbes, their main vocalist, had throat problems. In fact she stopped touring for about 18 months. Storm Large substituted and she was fun.

And the last time we saw them Ari Fleisher (of NPR!) sang with them. He was great! Unfortunately no You Tube videos of him singing with the band.
