Not good times in Olympia: The state legislature convenes Monday and will face a budgetary clusterfuck.
SERIOUSLY. WHAT. THE. FUCK? Anchorage police officer ambushed while sitting in his marked cruiser.
Suck my dick: It’s bank bonus season… “and it looks as if it will be one of the largest and most controversial blowouts the industry has ever seen.”
Things in Hawaii aren’t any better: The state can’t afford an election to replace U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie’s soon-to-be-vacant congressional seat.
Dragon beats schnitzel: China overtakes Germany as the biggest exporter of manufactured goods.
Boys will be boys: Sen. Harry Reid apologizes to Obama for a comment he made about him during the presidential campaign regarding his race.
A gross injustice: Government officials attempted to cover up the mistreatment and deaths of jailed immigrants.
What kind of meat, exactly? A South Carolina man is sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing an $80 slab of meat.
Labor gets their moment: Newly discovered tombs in Egypt are said to belong to workers who built the great pyramids.
The road ahead keeps getting longer: Abortion rights activists will be facing a tough year of challenges.
You wanted more, you get more:
Another example of why people called that show “Almost Funny.”
Harry Reid says Obama “not black enough”?
Does he chill with Kayne West?
Wow, do you think Hawaii is going to have a sudden change of heart regarding gay marriage when they realize how much tax revenue it will bring in?
@1 beat me to it.
Ten years for eighty dollars worth of meat. What will be the cost of incarcerating somebody for that long? Millions of tax dollars? Somebody that is not a threat? How stupid!
How I miss Almost Live….
Almost Live was the worst. Ever.
Almost Live is just something the Local Yokels hang onto as their heritage, like JP Patches and Dick’s Drive-in (the latter provides not even passible-quality food)
Yeah, seriously. Regarding the shooting in Alaska.
What. the. fuck. indeed.
I went in to the Starbucks around the corner from my house the other day and there were four police officers sitting at a table drinking their coffee. Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous. I hope this cop killing trend ends soon.
In its pathetic defense, Almost Live was, for better and worse, locally produced, locally focused content on a broadcast channel. It had many virtues, often accidental:

At least Joel McHale made something out of being a part of Almost Live. I’m glad for him for that.
@11–
typical affirmation of anythinglocal…”well it’s local, isn’t that good enough?”
Don’t forget “Bill Nye the Science guy” started out as an Almost Live skit too. Now he’s a national franchise.
@14–
typical affirmation of anything local. Bill Nye is barely known at the national level….to say he’s a national franchise as if he has some kind of national show is a laughable exageration…..
@15: No, you’re totally right. PBS’s “Bill Nye the Science Guy” never ran anywhere except in Seattle. He’s definitely not one of the most recognized scientists in the world. Obviously you are!
“Almost Live” on it’s worst day was still ten times funnier than “Saturday Night Live” has been for the past decade.
And FWIW @8: “The J.P. Patches Show” has the distinction of being the longest-running locally produced children’s television show in the U.S. – and every single episode (for eight of its 23 years twice a day) was completely improvised.
When YOU can make anything remotely like a similar claim, THEN maybe we’ll take your opinion as worth something slightly more than the dog poop one scrapes off one’s shoe.
@15:
My office processes approximately 150 residual checks for cable, DVD and foreign distribution of “Bill Nye” programs every month: how much income does work YOU did 15 years ago generate?
