On Thursday’s Radio Show…
August 7, 2008• Could former presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee become John McCain’s running mate? Gov. Huckabee sits down with Alan to respond.
• Alan talks with George Carlin’s older brother Patrick Carlin about the legendary comedian’s life and legacy.
• Astrologer Debbi Kempton-Smith shares her political predictions.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
And I’m first to proclaim, “Hey, Cheryl was first!”
Alan, why don’t you get Reginald Peterson on the show and ask if he ever got his sandwich? I mean the guy spends twelve bucks, he should get a sandwich. THIS IS AMERICA, DADGUMMIT!
Crikey!
This just in: 26 cheerleaders stuck in elevator.

McCain just can’t catch a break.
Alan, let me try explain your incorrect hatred for any organized religion. First you must concede that a substantial portion of any population does not have an inate sense of right or wrong, with apologies to Immanual Kant. Liberals believe that they can teach each other morality, but they cannot agree on just what it is. Now if you alone live in a cabin in the deep woods like Henry David Thoreau; you can be a crossdressing vivisectionist and nobody cares. You are not hurting anyone. But if you move to a big city you will have to obey some rules. It’s like the traffic laws. Some of those rules must come from an organized religion because civil authorities cannot offer eternal damnation or heaven for compliance. The Communists under Stalin suppressed religion and ended up with a nation of corrupt drunks that fell with a thud. It is reported that the Chinese Communists are reluctantly authorizing Existantialism to counteract growing religious groups. But the key point is that in a complex, yes progressive, society the government needs organized religion to impart a deeper sense of respect for law and other human beings. You may not like it, but there it is. Without organized religion we would have degenerate chaos. Like Spinoza, you criticize religion, but refuse to recognize the benefits it gives to our society. But then maybe you are living alone in the woods. Regards, TOM
Religion often provides SOME benifits to GOOD people.
It can be quite destructive, and toxic for others, especially bad people.
I remember a story I heard when we were in Hawaii; I don’t even know if it’s true.
Upon being greeted by a pretty Polynesian girl in a skirt and crisp white blouse, a traveler said,
“Oh! I thought there would be bare breasted women.”
The girl replied, “Yes, but then the British came and taught us shame.”
Have you guys heard about the 6ft tall, 250 pound U.S. Postal Worker campaigning to get kilts as a uniform option?

Oh good God I’m sick of Huckabee.
Aw Cheryl, I was hoping there’d be a picture of him. If he’s kept himself nice lookin it might be a good thing on a windy day.
Nearly had to wear a kilt in a wedding once….then I tried it on and that draft was not working…had to do a plan B.
Hahaha bike shorts?
saw a pic of him at fark.com or somewhere…old white guy..kinda like a youngish santa claus
i keep trying to get my dude to wear a kilt, but no deal… maybe if I got him a Utilikilt… but they’re not cheap.
DP – ewwwwwww
hahah good luck Sky. Maybe?? Umm??? Costume night at home?
heehee, you have no idea… ;)
Hi, Cheryl! how’s little dude?
I want that useless, senseless wall.
Yeah they don’t want to be citizens…that’s one of the problems
Hi All, Gettin’ a late start with the show tonite. Just got home.
Cheryl, I heard about the kilt guy. Says he gets “galded” wearing regular pants ’cause his thighs are large. I think this is a legit reason.
Alan, quit telling all these people on your phones to stop the crap about Obama. Why not go back to your butt brother Hannity and your employer FOX NEWS and tell them to stop it .. oh just stop it ..
This nonsense about Barack Obama’s plane has got to stop. Alan, you need to direct every caller to view http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp
Barack was using a leased plane from North American airlines. When he became the presumptive nominee, he had it repainted as most politicians do. The flag that was removed from the tail was the REGISTERED TRADEMARK of North American airlines. Not just a flag. And in comparison with McCain’s jet, neither one has a giant flag on it.
Additional, that website covers the flag pin and allegiance controversey as well.

Well? I can’t believe it! I haven’t been thrown off the thread yet? I’ve, offended just about everybody in both parties and you. That’s a credit to you Alan. Warmest regards P.A.L.
I never realized George Carlin was so much older than me. I remember loving his comedy when I was a teenager.
LV: Did you hear that Queen Pelosi has told her tribe that if any House member is in a tight election, that it is acceptable for that member to tell his voters that he is for drilling. and that he can blame Pelosi for his failure to achieve it.. and that he will go to washington and fight for it.
And the understanding is that the Democrats will not allow drilling after the election, but they are to lie and pretend they are.
Yes…flat out telling them to lie in order to keep the majority. I haven’t heard about it in the msm either..have you?
Alan-
How come no one ever asks McCain why he can’t get above 42% consistantly, the highest I have seen his poll numbers are 44% and the lowest is 39%. WHy can’t the guy with ALLLLLL the experience can’t beat a guy who has been in the Senate for three years?
wwc, to me I’d say because they are both senators and we don’t want to elect any more incumbents as it is.
i only read about it it Politico.
Same here…fox too but on Tv side. and the hill is non partisan
Ah, the “guy” from Wisconsin before the 11:00pm CDT break?
David Duke. His concern over gay people and Alan’s relationship with matzoh balls were the first clues. The Great, David Duke, Jewish Baker’s Conspiracy to rule over our diets.
Bagels, date hamantash and apple strudel (does this count?) are okay, but I’ll also pass on the matzoh balls.
David sounded a bit “wound up”. Wound “tight”, in fact. I hear that’s what happens when you’re on Meth. I also hear it’s hard on your teeth.
Republicans are very angry people, the guy who called in and admitted he was gay from Wisconsin was very angry…..or is he bitter and hates America?
Deep down inside they know Barack is going to win, they hang on to certain polls without looking at any electoral college numbers…….there is a September surprise coming for all of them soon…
Mary~ I want the wall, too.
Sky~ my son’s doing okay. I just bought him a little toddler sized bed and put it at the foot of mine. I also took down my curtains and put up Lightning McQueen curtains, a L McQ poster, and bought a L McQ bed set. Every night since then he’s fallen asleep with me and I’ve put him in the bed. He’s slept with me since the first night he came home from the hospital, so he’ll be transitioning for a while.
How’s your baby?
Mary~ the wall comment should’ve been directed to LV. My bad.
‘Mouse said~
“David sounded a bit “wound up”. Wound “tight”, in fact. I hear that’s what happens when you’re on Meth. I also hear it’s hard on your teeth.”
LMAO!
Missed George Carlin’s brother on the show tonight…dammit!
You’ve GOT to listen to it, Pooh. Buy the podcast for a month, then cancel. It’s only five bucks.
probably can’t…i have xm and made a promise to not buy any other podcasts or anything…that’s my price for having xm all the time…it’s like a drug addict…i can’t just do it once and walk away
lol, pooh. you’re silly, man. your loss though, it was a GREAT interview.
alan’s got an awesome show tonight.
man, Debbi was so dead on with her analysis. she did a great job.
i’m going to have to listen to her interview again tomorrow, bc i didn’t understand everything she was saying about the dangerous locations for bush, mccain, and obama.
Cheryl got a shout out!!
Hey Cheryl!
it’ll be interesting to hear what she says about our economic future. just like people have a “natal chart” that looks at your astrology data in detail, so do countries and events. America’s sun sign is Cancer.
I’m not talking to you anymore Jason. You never stay to chat.
You’re not my blog friend anymore!
TY&GN!
Sorry I missed you guys tonight. I was listening, but fighting with my son. Everyone better be here for FFAF!
Ouch.
Where is the border wall?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzISaq5jpzw [ i hate Word press blogs]
Border agent outgunned by mexican army!!
Jason~ next time stay and chat for a bit. Geez!
How can Mike Huckabee be the GOP VP selection when he is under “Double Top Secret Probation” for threatening Obama at the NRA Rally? Just because the media doesn’t talk about a story doesn’t mean the threat didn’t happen. This would be like Dick Cheney inviting Obama to go Duck Hunting before the end of his term. Somethings you just can’t do no matter how bad you want to. Somethings you just can’t say, no matter how right you think you are. Huckabee is a Huckabeen! Chuck Norris was right…McCain is old.
Mike Huckabee is my hero, he’s so articulate, glib, funny and down to earth. He’d make a great VP for McCain! What he said at the NRA was a joke, get over it already.
This is Glenn Beck on his radio show making fun of Hussien Obama.
GLENN: This is just a theory of mine. I believe Barack Obama is actually Jerry Seinfeld. Have you seen Jerry Seinfeld together with Barack Obama? I haven’t seen him. And here’s my may I approach the bench, your Honor? I would like to introduce Barack Obama audio as Exhibit A. Here it is, my case, Barack Obama is actually Jerry Seinfeld and this whole campaign thing has been to launch some comedy movie or I don’t know what it is, but I think he’s Jerry Seinfeld. Here it is.
OBAMA: The other day I was in a town hall meeting and I laid out my plans for investing $15 billion a year, energy efficient cars and a new electricity grid and all this. Somebody said, well, what can I do? What can individuals do? So I told them something simple. I said, you know what, you can inflate your tires to the proper levels.
GLENN: No, hang on. I’m just kidding. I didn’t mean that, inflate your actually I just said to him, “Hey, you got $15 billion? (Laughing).” No, no, no, no, don’t worry about that because I don’t need the money, no, no, I was serious about the inflating the tires thing to the proper levels.
OBAMA: And that if everybody in America inflated their tires to the proper level, we would actually probably save more oil
GLENN: Stop, stop, stop. Hang on. We would probably actually save more. We would probably I mean, are you beginning to hear the Seinfeld here just a little bit? We would probably actually begin to save more. Maybe it’s just me.
OBAMA: And all the oil that we get from John McCain drilling right below his feet there, wherever it is that he was going to wherever he was going to drill.
GLENN: (Laughing). That’s great. Wherever he’s going to drill. I mean, what’s the deal with John McCain? What’s with all this drilling thing John McCain is talking about? I mean, does he think there’s oil just beneath the surface of the Earth or something? That’s crazy. Just hanging around down at the bottom of the Earth, does he think there’s some sort of a substance under the ground that can be refined into fuel and power our cars and trucks? This guy’s crazy. I mean, what’s next? The same substance can be made into tires or plastic? I mean, where is this guy getting this stuff?
OBAMA: So now the Republicans are going around.
GLENN: Here it is.
OBAMA: This is the kind of thing they do. I don’t understand it.
GLENN: Stop. You’ve got to play that again! This is a comedy routine.
OBAMA: So now the Republicans are going around.
GLENN: Yeah.
OBAMA: This is the kind of thing they do. I don’t understand it. They’re going around. They are sending, like, little tire gauges.
GLENN: I just don’t get this whole game of politics. They’re taking something I said and trying to make a point with it? They’re taking my positions and telling people about my positions? What’s up with that?
OBAMA: Making fun of this idea as if this is Barack Obama’s energy plan.
GLENN: They’re acting like this whole tire gauge is my energy plan. Where do these guys get this stuff? What are you drinking tonight? Do we have any Republicans here tonight? You, sir, you in the front row there, you’re a little overweight. Not like me with my basketball skills and my nice tight abs. No wonder you vote for the party with the elephant on front. Am I right? Guys, back me up. No, I’m just kidding, I’m just funning you, sir. No, seriously, forget the tax cuts. We need calorie cuts for the wealthiest 1%. Isn’t that right, fatty fat fatso? Guys, back me up on this.
OBAMA: Now, two points. One, they know they’re lying about what my energy plan is. But the other thing is they’re making fun
GLENN: Stop. They’re making fun. All you need is a good laugh track behind this thing. First of all, wouldn’t they either be lying or making fun, or do we just get to choose like multiple choice, we can just choose the one that works for us? Do you remember those books where you used to read and it would say, like, if you want this to happen, you know, those adventure books where you would read and you would say, hmmm, I’m going to choose this adventure and you go to Page 56? I think that’s what this is. It’s like choose your own adventure. They’re either lying or they’re making fun, and the one that’s making fun is much more fun.
Now listen to what he says they’re making fun of.
OBAMA: About what my energy plan is. But the other thing is they’re making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4%.
GLENN: It’s like these guys are being ignorant. Listen to this. I mean, every expert says it would absolutely reduce their oil consumption by 3 to 4%. By the way, don’t do the math on that one because it’s not even close if you actually look into it. But I figure if I say things like “Every expert” and “Absolutely” and these guys are crazy, I don’t know what you’re talking about, you are probably going to buy it. Speaking of buying, what’s the deal on the grocery store these days? I mean, you got all these choices, paper or plastic, plastic or paper. I mean, it’s crazy! What’s the deal with choices? You know, it’s just too much. Oh. I guess I’m not pro choice anymore (laughing). I know, I’m only joshing you, huh?
Is there any more of this thing?
OBAMA: It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant, you know?
GLENN: You know?
OBAMA: They think it’s funny that they’re making fun of something that’s actually true.
GLENN: That’s actually true.
OBAMA: They need to do their homework because this is serious business.
GLENN: Sure is.
OBAMA: Instead of running ads about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, they should go talk to some energy experts and actually make a difference.
GLENN: Can you believe these Republicans? They’re running ads with Paris Hilton in them. Of course, I compared myself to Paris Hilton months before and that was okay, but hey, what’s the deal with these Republicans? I mean, what’s going on? Why are all these choices?
Wow the Glenn Beck show transcripts. Asshole, if we wanted to listen to Glenn Beck we would. We don’t need your dumbass post to tell us. You are such an idiot. Knock it off with your long shit filled posts…
Don’t cry. It’ll be ok.
I really enjoyed last night’s show! You always keep me sucked in, Alan! It’s refreshing not to have the same topic regurgitated over and over, like they do on other shows.
There’s definitely something to astrology, it’s based on math and statistical data, not mere speculation.
Hey Fury:
Glenn Beck is what the people on the right refer to as the “epitome of intelligence” (along with Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage).
Next Vinnie Pee will be posting crap by Bill O’Reilly, another mental midget.
I see the ass lickers are still obssessed with me.
Well Vinnie, maybe we find it amusing that you’re so obsessed with farts.
I was confused by the “ass lickers” bit too, TDro.
