Why did Sluggo quit baseball? Who didn’t shut it down? Why is there so much crack in Cairo? These are the stories making news at 3 a.m. in Washington D.C. and midnight somewhere else, maybe the West Coast.
And we didn’t manage to put up a new post on Sunday evening, because of Issues with “sluggers” and “Slugworth” and other such problems. But we’ll be back with It’s Morning In America in just a few hours, so hurry up and go to sleep! [9 & 10 News/AP]

Who put the bomp in the bomp teatard bomp de tard bomp de trig bomp?
It's all quiet here on the Eastern Front, and has been for some days, now. But, across the pond you've got a shooting on a nuclear sub, a mass shooting at a Dutch mall, and down in Rio, a mass shooting at a school.
Any one want to guess on what manner of hell will be visited upon the world for the incoming week?
That's just the rest of the world trying to be more Amurcan. Drink your liquor ration and go to sleep now.
As a teetotaling insomniac, I will be doing no such thing any time soon. lol
The honeymoon will be over for the star-crossed lovers: Tan Man & Bam Man.
Crack may down, but it looks like lead futures are way up.
Well, Japan has already had another major earthquake and Monday has barely started. The Federal continuing resolution runs out on Friday night again, so we have another week of posturing followed by attacks on Planned Parenthood, EPA, pretty much any part of the New Deal, or any health, workplace, or environmental control or improvement put into place since the early 1900's.
Have you BEEN to Cairo, IL?
But, who would be cracking down? There isn't anyone left to crackdown on.
Congress still sucks, the Middle East still sucks, and baseball still sucks. Dog bites man, AP, dog bites man.
When he was younger, a cousin of mine was bitten by a dog…he then bit the dog back. True story.
Is someone trying to steal the secret to the Everlasting Gobstopper?
You misunderstand: The crack is down in Cairo. So the question must be: why is there so little crack in Cairo?
Uh, Ken, I think crackdown means there's less crack in Cairo.
or it could mean that the change in the supply-demand relationship has resulted in lower prices for crack in Cairo.
But what about real news, like what is going on with America's favorite lesbian, coke addict/former child star Lindsey Lohan? Any sex tape released yet?
Does this make John Boehner a "Power Bottom"?
For the love of God please no more Pawlenty or Hoohaws or for that mater storeys about Pawlenty’s Hoohaw.
Go get 'em, slugger.
Charlie Brown and Lucy, gonna play some football,
Lucy holds the ball and Charlie runs up.
Ball gets jerked, Charlie kicks air,
that's the way the politics works.
Interesting interpretation. I always thought it went a little more like this:
Charlie lies on the ground, spread eagle.
Lucy kicks him in the nuts.
Tax cuts for everybody!
THAT's the way politics work.
Tax cuts for
everybodythe rich!Fixed.
If Layne is up posting at 3:08 am PDT, we know why the amount of crack is down in Cairo.
Charles Blow is lecturing Morning Joe on how stupid it is to cut sending when the economy is in recovery and certainly NOT to do it on the backs of the poor. Being as how all the Teatards think all black folks look alike, maybe we could sneak him into the White House and let him replace Barry , until that man gets his balls back.
C Blow is one option, but I'm thinking more along the lines of Lil' Wayne or .50 Cent. Get some shizznet done!
I love Cee Blow's Fuck You song. Did they play him out with that?
Make sure you don't give old Slugworth your Everlasting Gob Stopper!
I was really hoping that by not paying attention for a week, things might improve. Nope. At least I got a week in DC out of it.
I've spent more than my share of time in DC. Are you bragging or complaining?
Actually, had a good time (though I was in Old Town Alexandria rather than DC proper). Ran into a guy who it turned out was my ship's doc back in 1982-84, was surprised he remembered me (I mean, there was only one medical officer on board, but 450 squids). He's a big wheel at the CDC down in Atlanta now. Also got in an afternoon at the Smithsonian, and managed to go out drinking every night without a single hangover.
I AM impressed! Mostly about the hangover part.
Barack was being Barack, Adel Omara was being Adel and Manny was being Manny.
Krugman says of Obama's speech on Wednesday: "I don’t think he’ll call for privatizing Medicare, but who knows?"
If he does, I plan to jump out the Overton window.
Come up with this weeks most eye-catching headline, you guys.
"Michele Bachmann crashes bodily through debt ceiling after Congress rejects raising it."
"President Obama invades small nation of GOP's choosing to avoid government shutdown."
"Presidential hopeful Donald Trump demands Mr. Obama's DNA to confirm the his humanity."
"Michelle Obama revokes visa for Jamie Oliver. 'Bitch was steppin' on my turf' First Lady claims."
Obama to New York–and everywhere else–Drop Dead.
"BOEHNER: JACK THE TAX, EAT THE RICH"
Pork Producers Are Revolting as Michelle Obama Becomes Nation's Food Czar
They are revolting, fer sure!
Well looks like bazebawlers will have to adjust to missing the joys of Manny being Manny since Ramirez quit over a little steroid thingie. Is it possible there are some Wonketteers who would be happy to see Bachmann resign from Congress to pay full attention to her 2012 presidential run where the joys of Michele being Michele could get the kind of coverage they deserve?
What ever happened to the art of the headline?
SHUTDOWN SHUT DOWN/CAIRO CRUSHED,/SLUGGER SULKS
That's how they'd do it in the old days.
“SHUTDOWN SHUT DOWN/CAIRO CRUSHED,/SLUGGER SULKS”
It’s even better if you read those headlines using a Daffy Duck voice. I dunno, I watched a lot of Looney Tunes when I was a kid.
Sarah Palin! she's not in Ken's story and she hasn't even been mentioned in the comments yet, unlike Michele Bachmann.
I sets 'em up …
But how are Nancy and Aunt Fritzi going to take this?
Aunt Fritzi gives me the bonz!
I haven't seen a Nancy strip in decades, but I must agree with you.
Blondie, too!
Speaking of baseball, just for fun, I'd like to see baseball, basketball and hockey have lockouts now too; see how the plebians react without their gladiator games to distract them.
We were promised bread and circuses. They've already defaulted on the bread part. If they're also deprived of their circuses, there ain't enough hoverounds to get them all to the becktardpalooza they'll plan on the Mall…
Meh. Let the news come. I'm counting on all the young minds who have been edumacated and otherwise affected by you, worthly wonketteers. I figure that by the time I retire to my cat-food and front porch rocker, the youngins' will have brought about world peace, the one-world government and those black helicopters will have rounded up all the teabaggers for the FEMA camps. Is there buttsecks after retirement, BTW?
In that future, everyone is a submissive bottom.
Hey, what’s happening to all the p values? Downfister, you can try but you’re not gonna ruin my morning.
Your p-ness looks very nice, don't fret.
24 Hour News-cycle – - – WOW. Perhaps their time could be better spent making love to their partners, shooting up heroine, snorting cocaine, painting graffiti on walls, baking muffins . . .
On a lighter note, who is gonna win the bidding war for the Beckster? Sci-Fi Channel or Comedy Channel? Maybe TLC is going to try to top it's recent effort with "Sarah Palin's Baked Alaska" by offering "Glenn Beck's Never-Never Land".
