Silent Fundraiser, Week Two: Ken's show

Listener comments!

🚽

6:27am -Ken:

Mornin folks!

7:00am Jack:

Guten Morgen, Ken and Listeners-to-be!

7:21am cory:

hi all

8:28am P-90:

Good Morning Ken and listeners

8:29am Dan B From Upstate:

Morning Ken and fellow commenters. I like that the last gif is named "creepy clown." Kinda redundant though. :-P

8:31am P-90:

LOVE the Hillary/Bernie gif

🚽

8:35am -Ken:

Bernie didn't really shine last night unfortunately.

8:45am Marcel M:

Morning Ken and friends.

I missed the debate but my wife and friend filled me in and planning on reading up on it a bit today.

8:45am ?:

Oh man ... my head... is it 8:45 and 53 seconds already? Ughh .... guess it's time to head off and do some working as a waiter in a cocktail bar.

8:50am Brendan:

Sorry - didn't know who I was for a minute there on that last comment. Anyway Hi Ken.

8:51am P-90:

I didn't see quite all of it, but Bernie seemed to me to score a solid 7-8 out of 10. But maybe you're right @Ken, that's not enough.

8:52am Marcel M:

How would you score old Hil, P-90?

9:01am P-90:

Hil: polished, slick, experienced, emphasis not on critiquing the other candidates, rather the importance that the next prez be a Dem and not from that other total clownshow. Still seemed, for better/worse, like a solid, seasoned player in the DC establishment. So is Bernie, but he openly called for a "revolution" in US politics and got enthusiastically cheered. Hil didn't talk campaign finance reform much, Bernie did a lot, again to cheers from audience.

9:01am Marcel M:

Nachum seems to be cutting in less. Is that just a coincidence? Or has something magical happened at the magic factory ?

9:02am Marcel M:

@P90: Thanks. I'm gonna read up on it today. Annoyed I had to miss it. Does not surprise me she doesn't want to reform campaign finances.

9:03am thedunkel:

Good Morning Ken and fellow listeners of Ken!

9:04am P-90:

I thought Bernie scored when he emphasized his populist, grass-roots support, I loved when he said his campaign was built on people who gave "thirty bucks."

9:05am Brendan:

Ken your approval rating is always on the up, but this Blanck Mass the constituency going gaga and has your opponents befuddled.

9:07am bobdoesthings:

good morning

9:08am Berg:

that was a good start!

9:09am Marcel M:

Morning Bob

9:11am Losermom:

Give Bernie some time - this was his first nationally televised debate. All is not lost. There are 5 more to come.

9:12am Hot Mess:

A quagmire within a quagmire, wrapped in a burrito.

🚽

9:12am -Ken:

My goal today is to not play more than 20% crap, and to hit 50% in my silent pledge total.

🚽

9:59am AnAnonymousParty:

So after watching the strawberry gif ... 4-5 years ago my wife stuck the top cut off the top of a pineapple into a pot of dirt to see what would happen, Well, it grew, and grew, and grew. Now it's in a 8 gal pot and weighs about 50#, maybe 3' across and 4' tall. Every spring we cart it outside and every fall bring it back in. Last Sun was the annual 'bringing in of the plants before frost hits. After clearing the leaves and spider webs out we discover we have a softball size pineapple popping up. And my house looks like the Climatron again.

10:01am r i s k y:

Albert! My dude, thanks Ken!

🚽

I think my favourite 45 Ken’s played at the wrong speed was Lyndsey Buckingham’s “Holiday Road” years ago …

10:33am Grok-o-matic:
