Surprise! It's a Fed rate cut! Gnooze 1-23-08

[HaleyMary]

This is the channel I tune in to every day to get my regular news. I don't even watch regular tv anymore. This is it. :)

[AAutocaravan]

heath not funny, but Padilla is hysterical. You're a total idiot. But you know that.

[Voux5]

DON DON!

[BilliLovesMargot]

so funny... i just don't get bored... ever. *don don!!

[johnnymoondog]

LOL ! Is that what you look like first thing in the morning !

[ostinsfriend]

Gal.. you're my news source.. i don't even switch the tv on to check out.. you've to it all wrapped up!

[cv1122]

luved the donk-donk!

[svanvolk]

Love the curlers and shower cap.

[skutre]

Didn't HeathBar play Mr. Bottomly in A Brokeback Tail, or was it Senor Topitoff?

That's sort of funny, and I wrote it in three seconds.

It's all KWS to me, I've been fighting off SPs all week.

Excuse me, I have to get back to saving the Universe and redeeming mankind.

Loved the show tonight.

[uberover]

Great job MC. R.I.P Heath

[yogione]

It used to be they'd let some inside guy run off with all the money from one or two corporations, banks, or hedge funds. Now they have this new thing they call a global "write down." Today I'm (like) supposed to hate my iPod(?)because Apple stock is made to look like it's tanking. It's what they've been doing all along every time the market dips. Punch in those figures. It's opening bell. Why can't t.v. news be this good?

[Nic33rd]

A recession sure would be interesting . . . and bad . . .

[justplayman]

alright

[saminnyc]

Nice costume change! Slick.

[familyfunny]

poor Kieth Ledger (sp?)

[reggad239]

Heath Ledger. By the way, great job, Marta!

[Zarbod]

Yeah it's hard to have a fun time with someone's death who isn't annoying, but I'll work on it.

I do like the curlers.

[FamilyDynamics]

Another great news, my stupid finger hit the two star button, sorry Marta, 5 stars again, I take back the 2 stars, someone give another 5 stars, damn...

[Atomicmicrobe]

Nice Curlers. You should wear them more often.

[scottmhoward]

.  . =D

. .

[anmoose]

LMFAO!! Your image of Wallstreet first thing in the morning made me blow milk out of my nose. And I was drinking beer. Go figure...

And yeah, kinda a sad end to the Gnooze, but it needed mentioning, without the media hype. Thanks for that, Marta. Now and then life isn't funny, but it still deserves attention.

Moosie

[mysticfm]

That "certain courtroom show sound effect" (in back to back stories, no less!) cracked me up! :)

Regarding the Heath Ledger "downer" at the end ... I do watch the Gnooze largely for the humor, but I'd tell you to not be afraid to be serious for a moment when it is called for, because your sincerity and personality always come across.

[gnooze]

Thank you. I'm glad you think that it comes across because even when I've tried to be fake to be "more professional" I always fail.

[anmoose]

Never try to be fake, or "more professional." You're dead on the nose exactly as you are. Make a sticky note to that effect. And add another note that if you dare to change I'll personally smack you upside the head.

You can also add a note that Ms. Ophelia smacks even harder than I do. Don't cross her. :-)

[gabrielm562]

Just as the 'g' in Gnooze is silent, so is the 'l' in the name 'Padilla'. Just exercising my annoying habit of mentioning unimportant stuff. You're GREAT by the way. Can't wait for more..

[gnooze]

Hey thanks!!! Writing tonight/tomorrow's episode now. And the traditionally correct pronunciation of Padilla is indeed Puh-DEE-yah. However, in this instance, Jose Padilla has eschewed that pronunciation, preferring the (technically incorrect) pronunciation I used, PAH-dill-uh.

[JimmerSD]

Love the curlers..dun dun.

[gnooze]

Dun dun! :)

[PiFan7]

Great show! I am unable to pick out a highlight—the whole thing was great from beginning to end. Real 200G material. Dolly Parton must be so proud!

[gnooze]

Ha! Funny you should say that. Dolly Parton just came up to me (after a day of sleeping and ignoring me) and now she's staring me down. That's typically "feed me my dinner" behavior but I think she's trying to tell me something.

[PiFan7]

It sounds like she was giving you "crossmack eyes" and beaming her thoughts at you!

[LOLAxXxOZZY]

nice little note about Heath Ledger at the end. I was kind of worried that you might try to do something funny about it, but I'm glad you didn't.

[gnooze]

Some things just aren't meant to be satirized.

[winger1212]

NAMBLA!!!! HA

[mangobanna]

its 1/23!!

[Justin4RonPaul]

needed a finishing Dong Donk at the end and a shout out to Ron Paul cause he ROCKS!

[Bubba186]

I think you are missing the strategy, first we use up theirs, then we drill ours...

[Northern5tar]

"Hah! Surprised Ya!"

:D

[gnooze]

:D gnooze silliness: it just happens.

[SeizureChords]

I'm sad to...

Because Your not My Honeypie. lol

[SeizureChords]

too

[gnooze]

Who likes a pie made of honey, though, right? Maybe raspberries or apple.

[trill5thefif]

Great video! News with out all the DONK DONK from rupert.

[gnooze]

LOL.  Thanks!

[Phrozenbot]

lol at the guys face at 45 seconds

[gnooze]

It's a rough time for traders.

[trevb38]

Yo, Mar-tah!!

Great job, and I might add -- there aint nothing like SLUMPIN', Yo! :-)

[gnooze]

Heya neighbor! :) Thank you!

[WileyCoyote69]

Okay, Marta. I rarely comment on the physical aspects of my News/Gnooze sources, but you are strangely hot in rollers and a ratty bathrobe...

Eek. I hope I'm not a secret fetishist!

DONK DONK!

[gnooze]

Donk donk! This made me chuckle. :) I think most fetishists know they're such.

[WileyCoyote69]

Hey, you see the Red State Update episode from yesterday Marta? It's Fred Thompson-Centric. Plenty of Donk Donk-able moments in it.

[DStyle86]

Heath Ledger died!! ....oh and btw 30 US soldiers and 394 Iraqis since the beginning of 2008 ONLY.

[gnooze]

I think all 125 deaths (not to mention all the others from previous years of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan) are tragic. Saying one death is tragic doesn't imply that others aren't.

[DStyle86]

That wasn't a rant against you. I was just a little pissy because some actor is all over the news because he died of (most probably) drug abuse. What a heroic and newsworthy passing... It's ok to mention it, but not 20 times on a single day (at least that's what I experienced)

[gnooze]

I read you loud and clear. Have you seen my rant about news on gnooze dot com? "Soundbites aren't always news" it's called.

[DStyle86]

Yep and I LOVED it, I was seconding the guy who asked for MORE :)

[airborne373]

Subscribe to the Gnooze. Another great show...

[gnooze]

Thank you for the nice comment and for encouraging subscription!

[HarleyDrider]

Marta in curlers!! Doink Doink

Trauma

[gnooze]

Hey Trauma! Missed you around here!

[HarleyDrider]

Don't worry, I'm here everyday!

Shout-out Shoot-out forever!!!

[drocloce]

". . .US Federal Reserve Bank. . .or NAMBLA."

[ManufacturedThoughts]

You got to love our artificial economy, and the privately owned and operated US Federal Reserve Bank the FED. The word Stagflation will run wild in 2008 and 2009. Cutting interest rates does not matter why not cut fuel costs inside?

[ManufacturedThoughts]

I met to say instead not inside, sorry.

[scottfreitas]

Hey "manthoughts": get the US some representation on OPEC, and maybe we can bitch about fuel prices. But so long as world crude prices are set by a bunch of third-world countries, all of whom take turns chanting "Death to America!" in between chants of "Death to Israel!", we really don't have much say-so. We COULD drill for our own oil, but our idiot tree-hugging populace won't allow it. Only OTHER countries can drill for oil without polluting. The US can't, says the watermelons.

[garicmidknight]

lol good one

[gnooze]

Thanks!

[ZachsMind]

Now if only ALL the other presidential hopefuls would take Thompson's lead, we could write-in Marta! =)

[gnooze]

:) I was thinking about this when those new pictures of Lincoln were discovered: I'd move the inauguration parades and such to March, at least. It's freaking cold in DC in January!

[anmoose]

They should be moved to Florida. It's freaking cold in DC in March! :-)

[jaekent]

this was great.

[gnooze]

Thank you!

[UnderseaCaveman]

"try to recess now"....LOL... Marta rocks

[gnooze]

:) Hey thanks!

[qinaden]

Love the shirt. I tum shows off your assets very nicely. :)

[gnooze]

Thank you! Glad you can see my brains and compassion there! :) Hahahaha. I'm hi-larious.

[qinaden]

Lovely brain you have too lol :P

[skutre]

Uh-Oh, it's a Marta fan with a thing for Leprechans.....

we should keep an eye on this guy, hell be lunging for her Shamrocks, the PERV!!!

-s

[MsOpheliaPayne]

duh duh, lol

[gnooze]

Duhn duhn!

[wlmtopsportsman]

Absolutely some of your best work yet!

[gnooze]

Wowie!  Thank you so much!

[BOBIzizou87]

0:53 - hahhaha. Love it Marta! =)

[gnooze]

Hahaha! I was in extra silly mode! Thanks Boris!

[ddlsr]

nambla, huh?

[gnooze]

Yeah, after my random improv brain went there, I was like, "Really?"

[jetelejure]

You have a small verbal typo in your video: "three fourths" of a percent is incorrect. It should be "three quarters". Otherwise, excellent work.

[gnooze]

Thank you! You are right! Whoops!

[skutre]

Three centers of a perforth, says I, and a schilling fer your thoughts, young Lassie.

-s

[DanPostropheL]

Tasteful ending. You got class.

-dan'l

[gnooze]

I just keep thinking of Matilda. So sad.

[scottfreitas]

LOL. That whole bit you did with the economy was hilarious! Especially the "slumping" part! I oftimes feel the economy woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning... now I've seen proof! :D

[gnooze]

Who knew the economy had a pink robe??? ;)

[mike8494]

You are good don't let them get you Thomp Thomp Five ***** for you Marta :-D

[gnooze]

Thanks Mike!!!

[geargemartin]

fred was just tired.

[daddioux]

I'm pleased that "Thomp Thomp" has survived Thompson.

[gnooze]

:) I should make a list of all these things.

[luke3679]

'al qaida malqaida'....lmao.

[gnooze]

Especially if you consider that "mal" is usually bad - malady, maladaptive, et al... actually speaking of "et al," mal may be latin. Anyway.... end tangent. :)

[projectdurden]

i was expecting a dong dong at the very end.

[gnooze]

Dong dong!

[MGABBYB]

Funny stuff...

[gnooze]

:D Thank you!

[Blargaldalien]

Hello Marta.

Fed keeps us out of red,

Fred's candidacy is dead,

Jose gets a Fed jail bed.

Nice.

[gnooze]

Everything you said.

(my lame attempt to keep up the rhyming)

[Blargaldalien]

that's what Gnooze said!

[anmoose]

While my cat went to bed,

On his cushion of red,

In a box with his mouse that was dead.

(I know, this is getting worse...)

Moosie

[skutre]

it had great timing

-s

[jogayot]

next they'll be jailing one-year babies and letting them out as fully formed, obiedient, terrorist unsuspects.

[MuttinHead]

zOMG! You scared me when you cut the rate! DAMN YOU MARTA COSTELLOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!

[gnooze]

I'm sorry! I should have thought it out. I hate those creepy face-popping-up videos! But at least, I'm not a zombie or mummy or something.

[NearNothing]

What's with the thumbs-down campaign?

[marleyinoc]

magnanimous is the bestest word ever! ♥ especially when said when you say it while imitating a pouting huckabee.

[gnooze]

:) My favorite word is obsequious.

[qiranger]

Loved the curlers!

[gnooze]

LOL! The benefits of having stuff strewn about rather than put away: inspiration!

[JonPatric]

Your the purty est news broadcaster on the tube. :D

[gnooze]

Aw shucks. You're nice. I was feeling all frumpy today so thank you.
