And yet how do we know you aren't just replacing the pumpkin like he's Lassie?

Al Franken as Senator from the same state that brought you Jesse Ventura as Governor.

No surprise there they are also the only state that went with Mondale over Reagan in '84.

Cartoons in court… Been there… Done that…

Once upon a time, I served as a juror in a case that involved the artist who drew Casper the Friendly Ghost. The elderly artist had been driving on the highway when his vehicle was struck by a large commercial truck. He was asking for significant compensation because his drawing arm was injured. He couldn’t draw Casper anymore… and the ghost was his livelihood…

We were presented with big pictures of Casper the Ghost smiling in court!

We weren’t going to let this big commercial company get away with it!

Within the first hour of the trial, it was determined that the plaintiff had not received commissions for drawing Casper for a few DECADES so they threw the case out. There was even talk about the accident being the old man’s fault. Shoot! I liked being a juror…

Brigitte – You’re a riot with your serious paper shuffling skit. I adore how you crack yourself up!

Back to my berry blossom white tea kick…

If Brigitte says he's the "original" strike pumpkin, I believe her. So unless someone plans on asking the FBI to use their facial recognition software to compare Penrod in each video, I suggest we all take Brigitte at her word and stop accusing her of malicious deceit.

LOL You're such a trip Brigitte!!! Nothing shows spirit and enthusiasm better than a little mail shuffling and pounding! Keep up the great work!

OK, show of hands, how many people spent the first half of today’s show thinking “Penrod is dead!”. (or “Penrod Number is dead!” for you conspiracy theorists) I mean, with the serious tone and all I thought for sure…

On the Oprah thing I think it’s important to remember that “big in daytime TV” does not necessarily mean “big in life”. Oprah has (according to the quoted article) 8.6 million viewers which is around 7% of the people who voted in the last election. Now assuming every one of those watchers is a Democrat (unlikely) and that every one would do exactly what she tells them to (unlikely) she still couldn’t overcome the fact that Hilary is leading Obama by 15% (down from 28% in November which probably means those numbers already contain a large amount of the Oprah factor).

That said, it does increase the chances of a Bill Clinton vs. Oprah Celebrity Smackdown and if you can honestly say you don’t want to see that then I think I can honestly call you a total liar.

Finally, I’d just like to say that my odd fascination over why the “door to nowhere” is padlocked sometimes and not others continues virtually unabated. There’s nothing that can really be done about it but I just thought I’d throw it out there so a few others would get obsessed with it and then I could take them down with me (insanity loves company)

"Air quotes (also called finger quotes or bunny quotes) refers to using one's fingers to make virtual quotation marks in the air when speaking." ~Wikipedia

Lots of folks use air quotes (AQs); it's nothing new or unusual. I'm rather fond of 'em myself.

But... I am sublimely smitten by Brigitte's AQs. Her AQs today were gesticulated from left-to-right.* Left-to-right! I love that!!

We've all seen Brig's AQs many times**; I don't recall seeing left-to-right AQs though.

Now, I realise that this very special twist on AQs is probably not of her own design, but who cares?

Brigitte's AQs. Such stunning style.

Simply Sublime.

** Perhaps too many times according to her own self-commentary regarding the AQ phenomenon. She may have even cut down on her use of them.

penrod has a stunt pumpkin!

That was LOUD.

Gee, I hope those folks at the mall are ok. I am sorry to hear about the Omaha shootings... :(

Yikes! One of your best episodes yet Brigitte!

So Penrod is as solid as a rock, eh? That's probably because his skin has calcified (or fossilized) while his innards have turned to mush!

What? What? You don't like pumpkin pie??

Brigitte - I hope you are safe... Now, back to my "Dirty Sexy Money"!

Brigitte cracking herself up while delivering the Faux News from her little desk by the closet--just the sort of wicked satire you'd never see on real TeeVee. You're a comic genius, lady.

How Penrod maintains his dignity under a tinsel hat is just an inspiration to us all.

Wow. Best TV Squad Daily Ever. Although, now it's making me think people can tell that when I'm shuffling papers and pounding them into the desk (as if to organize them) I'm just B.S.-ing. If you take that away from me, all I'll have is clearing my throat pompously!

Brigitte for President! That's hot.

Also, we haven't forgotten about the Reddi-Whip bikini you 'basically' promised us (by putting Reddi-Whip on your chest). You'll probably need assistance with this one. I nominate myself. 2nd (from across the room). Motioned and seconded that I assist you with this. Great, it's settled. I'll be in Lincoln over the holidays. Where do you want to do this ... and when?

I don't know why, but I love when people crack themselves up on camera. More so now, Miss B :)

I want weekly episodes of politics and serious...stuff.

And what is this about whipped cream? I don't think our dear Miss B. would stoop to such classless acts.
