aj- i was wunnerin why all the marshmallows were gone this morning. LEVON?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
that boy loves his S’mores
even I draw the line at smores them thangs are sweeeeeeeet beyond sweet. 1 bite 14 cavities. lol
I can verify that AJ was going through withdrawal. He kept mumbling about BBQ, bikinis, and baseball.
Glad you’re back up and running. I don’t think AJ would have lasted much longer. I’m putting him for the Distinguished Blogger Cross
Glad it was as simple a problem as a power outage … there were definite doubts as to what was the cause … sure glad we have the yahoo group to stay in touch with one another on …
Welcome back Michelle … you were sorely missed …
Blogging and football on sunday….Thanks for fixin up and getting back up, Michelle.
all is well once again!
We don’t tease you a lot, but you’re always spot-on. Welcome back.
Michelle,
Glad to see you back.
No worries.
Happens to everyone sooner or later.
Don’t take this the wrong way,
but I was able to talk to a nice young lady on the phone today (only 2 years younger than me, 40 vs 42) and enjoyed a nice social life for once.
So,
whereas you are my hero for what you do here,
it is kinda nice that I can still have a life
(when I’m not aggravating myself on sites like this).
Hey,
it’s all good.
Hope you’ve been able to have some time to enjoy your family today.

Are you sure it wasn’t caused by Global Warming, Michelle? It is basically responsible for everything, ya know. Or W, of course.
In honor of Veterans Day:
Heroes vs Villains
Villains are willing to sacrifice others for themselves or what they want.
Heroes are willing to sacrifice themselves or what they want for the sake of others.
Heroes are all those who
Fight to Defend us
Protect and Serve us
Rush into danger to Rescue us
Thank you, all Brave and Noble Heroes!
Thank You for our Lives!
Thank You for our Liberty!
Thank You for our Freedom!
Thank You for Everything we have!
We will NEVER forget you!
Just wanted to say the above.
Thank you, Michelle, for the venue.
Breaking! Hollywood is casualty of war … and no one is surprised. :oP
I was kind of sad because I wanted to know what everyone thought of Hillary’s latest kerfuffle and I couldn’t read the comments. Just saying is all. :o)
I was over at HotAir posting a distress signal…..glad you’re back up and running.
Profound thanks on this day to those we’ve lost in battle, our vets and those currently serving this great nation. Your sacrifice is humbling.
Welcome back!
Welcome back Michelle. Was afraid you had been hit by the dreaded 11/11 Cyber Jihad.
And to all our Military vets I salute your for your service.
From the “Hollywood is casualty war” article (link courtesy of DannoJyd)
I can think of one angle– show the Marines fighting at First Fallujah and Second.
Then write up a script on “The Fall of Mookie al-Sadr”.
Sell em as a Director’s cut box set to a “micro-audience” that would appreciate them.
Mass marketing war flicks is dubious in this age where American moviegoers believe that Peace is the natural state of human beings.
Pure folly.
Plus– how many of the script writers have ever even fired a bb gun or been huntin or to war?
Those who have and do aren’t getting any play in Hollywierd.
How do you say Hollywoods a bunch of crapweasels in english?
AJ…
I can’t say it in english but here it is in the new english.
“ollyood es un grande a$$ jole”
And furthermore….on the war movie bit:
make films that are controversial. “DeerHunter” was controversial. “Apocalypse Now” was controversial.
Films that incinuate the “America is Evil” mantra aren’t controversial nor are they even close to being rebellious in the status quo of socialist screen writers.
Controversial theme: A film that shows an opening graphic depiction of 9/11 with the shock value (based on reality) like the opening scenes of Normandy in “Saving Private Ryan”. No talking- just dying and hell breaking loose.
Then- move through scenes in Washington leading us through how World War 4 had been launched against the USA. Show the crushing of the Left by the will of the American people by the actions of leaders civilian and military alike.
Then- show the action on the ground. Straight up. Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.
Finalize it with the destruction of Syria and Iran. War scenes backed with real footage and sound from the civilian battle against Islamo Fascism, complete with gore from the terrorist murdering.
Bring it home and make it hot.
Nothing spells controversy like the REALITY of what must be done.
Audiences know the dreck coming out of Hollywood is preaching to the Moon Loon choir.
Plus the segment of the economy with more disposable income isn’t on the Left. Surprise!
So we’d rather stay home.
I guess you can tell this has captured my imagination.
OT: Raiders leading Bears 3-0.
I got some choice Spanich for ya, aj.
But i’ll refrain from soiling this fine site.
My observation is that every writer, producer, director and lead actor believes they are Chief Cool Arrow.
IMHO, Hollywood is a microcosm of America’s liberals. They deal in fantasy, they live in their own fantasy worlds, then they whine the loudest when smacked in the face with reality.
Today’s Hollywood remains mostly irrelevant.
Bear… You have it right. Just look at how well Rendition and Lions/Lambs are doing. NOT!!!!
Taking time out from Cowboy game….
Bear - if the best Bollyweird can do is make films always blaming America - then, I’d say let the loons support their films. There are many films now on cable channels that because of who produced/directed/starred I refuse to watch. I did see “The Kingdom” only because a friend that had spent over 15 yrs. in the ME footed the bill for a group of us, and I wasn’t in a position to say no. Personally, I’d not have spent a dime going to see it. It was soft compared to the others from what I’ve heard.
What cracks me up is that they give awards out to themselves for the carp they put out. It should be “the Oscar Meyers” all bologna.
The list of actors, actresses, directors, singers, talking heads, etc. that I refuse to patronize is getting so long that sometimes there is nothing showing in my local 24 screen theatre that I will see and when these clueless idiots show up on talk shows, I change the channel.
Welcome back. A day without Michelle is like pancakes without sunshine … or something like that.
God bless our young men and women in uniform wherever they may be this day. I tell everyone who’ll listen, and even some who won’t, “Freedom isn’t free”.
aj the “Foodie” with searing satire on the “Academy”.
Here’s more (powered by bearmush):
“I’d like to thank the Academy and BOTOX for making me look more important than the boots on the ground that make it possible for us to have lights, heat, food, and clothing for this charade.”
We’re hunkering down and staying out of the theater unless there is a new Pixar thing Levon wants to see. Why give the left *any* ROI for their propaganda machine?
Here at home, we are headlong into a retro film festival.
Last nite we watched “Alien” for the first time since it came out. Levon was speechless when the bot lost its head.
I was completely shocked the other nite when PBS aired “the longest day” with an all-star cast from the 60s.
That was back in the day when Sinatra was in “Von Ryan’s Express”. Right smack dab during the VN war.
I concur, 24K, let em eat their own “cake”. Sick of their adoration of Lanni Riefenschtal and Goebbels propaganda techniques.
Welcome back, Michelle. Wondered what was wrong…:). Anyway, thought you people would be interested in a follow-up on the Jena 6
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-jena_bdnov11,1,5899685.story?ctrack=2&cset=true
I thought you had been a “victim” of the supposed AQ internet attack today…..mmmmmmmmm…wonder how that’s working out for them?
jaded, they couldnt figure out what a qwerty was…..
I was purty sure you it was you too, AJ…both of ya had a hand in it.
.
I even wondered if you 2 didn’t use up all the ‘alloted’ comments for the month, just from yesterday alone????
So what do you spose bear and AJ were up to??? for an entire morning? er, most of the day?? Resort to that old fashioned thing….whatdyacallit???
Oh yeah, a PHONE. hehe
.
p.s. THANKS TO ALL VETERANS TODAY, and each and every day!!!!!
But ’specially today.
.
p.s.s. OK, i missed ya, bear -n- aj and ‘everone’… even missed readin’ your ’stuff (kinda).
Not as much as I missed the BOSS, but a littleeensieweensietiny bit.
.
p.p.s.s.
HONORABLE VETERANS DAY
We all owe our lives, our freedoms, our families, our jobs, our homes, our very serenity, etc to YOU, VETS.
.
THANKS! more than I can even say.
I got yer qwerty , right here.
Ya got anything not password protected?
I wont register on that site.
Shooter, I got it originally on fark.com. You can check there for the story. Basically, it’s about all that money that was handed to them as a “defense fund”, without any accounting for it. Guess it ended up in their pockets.
I believe that we will watch war films as long as our patriotism isn’t insulted. During World War II, there was a serious debate in Washington over showing a documentary of the landings and battle on Tarawa, since the footage was far more graphic than anything Hollywood put out. In the end, FDR ordered that the film be shown. The shock felt by audiences over the horrific slaughter on this very small place quickly gave way to pride in the heroism of the Marines, where “uncommon valor was a common virtue.” A fitting post on Veterans Day.
Michelle, did you know you were talked about in an op-ed today?
http://www.sacbee.com/110/story/482040.html
Maybe I missed something but being blissfully unaware of the political proclivities of the principals, I thought The Kingdom was a pretty good movie. Only the liberal critics seemed to pan it.
No redeeming merit for Syriana which suffered the double whammy of starring George Clooney and dedicated to America bashing, Rendition, Valley of Elah, Lions/Lambs and a host other leftist propoganda films that I have managed to avoid.
As for me, it’s Birthday Bear weekend!!!! Falcon the Mommy took lil BlackWolf to a laser tag birthday party over in Feebieland somewhere east of here. This kid is a born sniper.
So…I been playin with my handy dandy new “Light Pen” scanner- i can lift text into this electronic highlighter and upload it into my Magic Box. Should propel BearResearch to the next level and speed up the publishing we do.
Cha-Chingggggg, baby.
Keyword for Today: TOYS
OT: Raiders have knocked Griese out of the game. dRex is in the game and fumbled the first snap. Score tied 3-3 at half.
color me impressed, i didnt think the raiders could hit that hard.. lol
maybe somebody put aqua dots in his gatorade.
Cards 17 Lions 7 at half …
I’m ready to spank several of the Cowboys - no dang’d excuse for their faux paaaas.
Actually, The Kingdom wasn’t really that bad - unbelievable, but not bad.
Bear - it’s your birthday? Enjoy your toy(s). I only like a toy until I’ve figured out every button, then I’m done with it (short attention span?). Nobody buys me toys anymore.
B-Day WEEKEND??? What are you, 12? { (:-)}
. (just lucky maybe)
.
RAIDERS??? lucky its your bday, cause if it ‘werent’, I could NEVER like you agin.
Broncos beat up KC today. ………ok ok its just one win.
.
( i can relate, peek at me moniker)
.
Got any links? or should i just do a little searching? Sounds, well, amazingly kewl.
Actually I think it was last month sometime, ‘bear’ be milkin it some.
A day without Michelle is like a day without apple pie, ice cream and coffee!
I go into withdrawals if I cannot get MM site to come up. It is the first one I hit on my sign on to the internet.
So glad you are there serving America Michelle!
Asking Hollywierd to make a good movie is like asking your cow to lay an egg.
The actual date of birth is 11.12.55.
This is BirthdayBear Weekend followed by BirthdayBear Week. Working on setting up BirthdayBearQuarter!!!! (Stock purchases only!
I am 2 plus a half century. All i can say is the 50s have been a flat out groove. Like passing through a veil of some kind into a brave new world. Lovin it.
What kinda toys do you tend to gravitate toward, 24K?
To Snipey- check out skymall.com. I been lusting after this toy for a few years. Waited til it got better and finally couldn’t hold out. This thing is the real deal.
To Almeehan: Big time dittos. Thanks Michelle.
“Faux News Alert”
Sometime during the great michelle malkin blackout police discovered a dead body in feebiebabes back yard covered in fruit loops, cherrio’s and rice crispies. Investigators at the scene saying it’s the work of a….
Cereal Killer.
film at 11:00
Good to see you are up and running again. I have been trying to access the site most of the day with no results. For a while there I thought you were the target of techno-terror from our friends on the left or the cyber-Jihad.
Happy Veteran’s day to all the other “Vets” today! I surprised my spouse with a Veteran’s Day card today she served over 5 years getting out to be a stay at home Mom to provide the proper foundation for our son. We always used to joke win our son that his Mother used to wear combat boots.
Oh fer chrissakes, AJ! I have no words in my vocabulary to describe the utter lameness of that joke.

BTW- missed your “I love the smell of…” email this AM.
Aren’t you a Raiders fan?
OOOOOPS!
Actually Rick, I kind of like it but then again, I am a retired cop.
Maybe we should call in the Cold Case unit to investigate.
now my feelings are hurt….
Rick,
Thought I’d spare ya, hows Vegas did you catch the mark cuban seminar?
I picked a good day to watch football and miss the chaos.
Off topic, I met MKH.
(Does the happy dance)
eric
aka the Tygrrrr Express
Oh, and I am a die hard Raider fan.
gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Not even meeting MKH eased the sting of that game. Another crushing loss. We are 7 games behind New England for home field advantage…not looking good.
eric
SHUCKS! I didn’t even notice that it was down!
Michelle, I’m so sorry you were affected by our DFW outage and that we didn’t live up to our promise to you. We failed you, but will work to restore your faith in Rackspace. Here’s where we’re keeping everyone updated on the outage: http://www.rackspace.com/information/announcements/datacenter.php.
