Happy Fourth of July to all!
What a week America has had! We have seen the passing of so many icons (actually that’s been in the past two weeks), ending with Karl Malden just the other day. We have had the Sanford affair—and I think all of you know by now just where I stand on that. The North Koreans have been shooting off missiles in our direction, keeping a family member of ours very busy up there in Montana. And last, but certainly not least, we have Sarah Palin announcing yesterday that she will be quitting her job as the governor of Alaska on July 26th—even though her term runs through 2010.
So, with much to do on this Fourth of July, BBQ and Pinot go well together, I leave you with this Open Thread to have at it as you will. Think of this as your local tavern (Cube’s idea), where you have drinks with friends and discuss the issues of the day, week, year, or whatever. Don’t forget to designate a driver.
Tags: BBQ, Do you know me? I'm Karl Malden, Is MJ really dead?, Mark Sanford is a Lost Boy, Palin Work Ethic---or lack of it, Pinot Noir, The Peter Pan Syndrome

I can’t take credit for this. But, I would like to thank the Academy, Walt Whittman, ALLCAPS WADE, and the episode of Dif’rnt Strokes when Nancy Reagan came on. Oh. And the episode with the Maytag repair guy who touched Dudley. I also liked the Kimberly is a bulimic episode. She’s dead. Thanks.

I give credit where is due, Cubie.
Nice that you thanked all those people, particularly ALL-CAPS, after all, he helped make you what you are today–a legend (at least on the Defunct PM and its dismal replacement, PD). But you forgot one of the most important people–ahem, the president of your fan club?

Who should be getting a little steamed right … about … NOW!!
July 6, 2009 at 11:36 pm |

LOL
July 6, 2009 at 11:41 pm |
Yeah, I hear he has his own show too! Sheesh! Quite frankly, I think he should devote one whole show to the president of his fan club–yeehawwwwww!!!
July 7, 2009 at 12:58 am
Next thing you know he will be making jokes about Sarah Palin’s 14 year old daughter! Will he apologize??
No fucking way!!
July 7, 2009 at 1:09 am
Well, it is his show.
July 7, 2009 at 1:18 am
So! Who does he think he is? Letterman??
July 7, 2009 at 1:21 am
Now you know Letterman shouldn’t have apologized after his non-apology.
July 7, 2009 at 8:08 am
I know that … and YOU know that … even Cube knew that … but did Letterman know that?
Apparently not.
July 6, 2009 at 11:42 pm |

its all good…the job kinda does itself really…when you are so flippin’ fantastic like Cube is…

July 7, 2009 at 12:38 pm
In your dreams that they would actually let you have that Zippo.
July 7, 2009 at 8:14 am |
Pay no attention to the lunatic with the wild-eyed ZIPPO.
July 7, 2009 at 8:16 am
Wait a minute … OLD?!?!?!? [sniff]
July 7, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Oh quit your sniveling, you’re still younger than me–but I can STILL outrun you.
July 7, 2009 at 3:20 pm
That’s what you think, you devoured Gazelle you!
Wait a minute … Sniveling?!? [sniff] … You are sooooo mean … [sniff, sniff]
July 7, 2009 at 3:54 pm
You can’t devour anything you can’t catch–sniveler. (hehehehe!)
July 7, 2009 at 4:12 pm
As she struggles under the massive paws of the Cheetah!
July 7, 2009 at 4:17 pm
As I told you once before–a cheetah is only fast for a ‘brief’ moment and not agile enough to catch this gazelle–besides, not many cheetahs need an inhaler.
July 7, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Case in point:
July 6, 2009 at 11:44 pm |
Oh, PCL…
nice label
=)

Thanks, a new favorite wine–shared it with my daughter in LA recently, not only excellent in flavor, but now has sentimental value, as well.
July 6, 2009 at 11:47 pm |
was it on Cubes site where I read something to the affect of
Sarah ThunderButt??
had to be…
in a way, part of me hopes that story about her and Joeplumb is true…
you need something like a flatulence problem to take the edge off of an otherwise, perfectly pretty priss…
LOL
July 6, 2009 at 11:49 pm |
LMAO!!!!!1
July 7, 2009 at 12:10 am
I’ll have to remember this tidbit for TheChemist…

July 7, 2009 at 12:34 am
TheChemist–guy’s a douche!
July 7, 2009 at 12:09 am |

July 7, 2009 at 12:36 am |
