[SharonRB]

24. I'm not wild about the tie tonight.

[Shopaholic]

34. Me either.

[Clark2008]

39. It's not the best - but I like the orange in it.

The stripes are too wide.

[troubleinwinter]

62. Yeah, he needs a different tie.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Now, where would

we get a tie for him? Do you know anywhere we could go?

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

12. We're definately getting "tie-signals" tonight!

Did ya see the little smirk at the beginning? :loveya:

[Shopaholic]

18. Shopaholic in the house

[bettyellen]

It's a nice one tonight, too.

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

13. Sy Hersh

The Coming War. "Covert task forces to Iran.. three dozen sites.
Man, there's a winner chosen after every election in the War Lottery. It was only a matter of time.

[DemReadingDU]

15. Hello to all!

:loveya:

[Der Blaue Engel]

17. Hey, I can actually "play along" for once!

Got the day off, so I'm watching live. :)

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Welcome! n/t

[bettyellen]

25. hellloooooo betty!

[Der Blaue Engel]

38. All Betties present and accounted for

:D

[bettyellen]

93. is your avatar "betty blue" from the sad french movie??

i dated somebody who was sorta into that...
as a concept.... but he was the severly depressed one.
ugh.

[Der Blaue Engel]

131. Why, yes!

You're the first person to notice that. :)

And that's my name. :D

(What was he sort into? The movie? Or depression? I'm not following...)

[bettyellen]

uhm, how depressed i made him becasue i didn't love him....

quite enough, or whatever. quite a lot of projection going on....
he was obsessive/ compulsive. ask me about his calender some day.
it sent me packing!

[Der Blaue Engel]

201. Bleh, gotcha

I relate to the other Ms. Blue because I'm bipolar and frequently become obsessed with things never getting better, even though I can tell that it's not rational. But I don't obsess about other people, just my own inadequacies...specifically, a book I've been trying to get published, like Zorg in the movie. :)

[bettyellen]

236. it's better to be obsessed about your own stuff as long as it drives you..

but this poor fella, he gave me a piece of rose quartz, to "focus my love energy".
ugh, it was sad. i kept trying to get out of it......
ten years later, my friend just saw him smile for the first time! good for him.

[Bitter Betty]

289. One more betty

Hello? Are we discussing the all-time sexiest anchor on cable news??? Note: I'm a little slow on the uptake.

[Der Blaue Engel]

292. LOL

Another Betty! :toast:

Welcome to DU, BB!

Actually, now I'm quite bitter that I didn't pick Bitter Betty as my name. :cry:

[Bitter Betty]

294. Thanks

I am pretty darn happy with my username... BTW, Betty Blue is # 3 in my netflix queue. I hope it is the uncensored version cuz I abhor censorship!
:P

[Der Blaue Engel]

295. Oh, I hope so too

Is it the Director's Cut? I just got the Director's Cut DVD and haven't watched it yet, but it contains an extra hour of footage that's supposed to bring more clarity to what motivates Betty.

On an amusing note about censorship, my partner procured a copy of the Korean release of the DVD before it was released in the US, and I watched the beginning of it...they had a giant, blurry fuzzball obscuring all genital nudity, even when that meant the fuzzball covered someone's, er, face. :D

[RevCheesehead]

19. So, did ya notice "Sparky" chimed in with the tie-vote?

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

29. And, right before make-up! n/t

[Clark2008]

35. No. Where?

But I'm still wondering if it's him.

Keith doesn't vote and "Sparky" says he worked for Dean and then Kerry. Why would someone who doesn't vote work for someone? :shrug:

[Shopaholic]

41. Sparky also lives in Massachussettes

!

[RevCheesehead]

42. c'mon - it's denial...

note if "Sparky" posts during the show - and not during commercial breaks!

[sparky_in_ma]

74. No Break here.

Nope....I'm still not KO.:hi:

[Shopaholic]

85. Do you remotely resemble him in any way?

Height?
Eye color?
Hair Color?
Snarkiness?
Age?

Any of the above even close?
It doesn't matter what you answer if you answer, we'll still love you anyway. I think that you're our unofficial mascot.

[sparky_in_ma]

96. well...

6'0 hazel, brown, medium snarky, 52. But I do have lots of suspenders.:)

[Shopaholic]

113. Excellent. Suspenders.

We like suspenders. :loveya: :loveya:

[troubleinwinter]

122. Yumm... "medium snarky, 52, and suspenders"!

[bleever]

132. Throw in your shoe size. Just a tip.

[sparky_in_ma]

Nah

That's too personal. Besides, you can fake shoe size.

[RevCheesehead]

89. BWAHAHAHA!!!

Nice try, "Sparky!"
Lots of stories posted by NBC reporters - You don't have to be on the air! :evilgrin:

[Sydnie]

90. Sparky you know we love you!

Even if you're not Keef!

:loveya:

[Catchawave]

47. Me too Clark...Sparky, that is????

Me thinks it's a fun DUer having, um, fun wit'us :)

[bettyellen]

20. Wow, we have a nice crowd here tonight!!

this is for all of you:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:


the brady bunch of love!!

[noamnety]

21. Take down notes for the quiz!

I'm in another thread right now, but it's your collective jobs to get some trivia from this story - don't post the question here - but send it in for Friday.

[Miami Liberal]

28. Be back in a bit...

Keef's looking yummy tonight!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

30. is something missing?

:loveya:

[Catchawave]

31. Polls going UP for Bush? Uh, huh, great timing.....n't

[merh]

189. Polls don't mean anything, hasn't the weed been paying attention

to the election controversies? :shrug:

Hi Ya'll! Sorry I am late. :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: KO :loveya: :loveya:

[Greylyn58]

32. Mmmm...

He looks yummy tonight. Looking good Keith!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

46. Orange tie.

See!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Seven percent are both hopeful and worried! Bwahaha! n/t

[Shopaholic]

36. See, David Gregory has a shiny tie on

and it looks good on camera. Like David a lot by the way.

[SharonRB]

37. Ewwww --

I can't stand hearing *. I'm glad the I can't see the TV from the computer, though. If you don't see him, he sounds just like the guy who portrays him on SNL.

[Pirate Smile]

276. My mute button is getting a good workout and will continue to for the

next, sniff, four years, sniff.

I remember thinking before the election that shrub can't win because I can't stand to listen to him speak at all. I can't even enjoy the numerous f@#k ups he makes. (I realize this seems shallow considering all the crap going on but it was just one of those things that passes through your mind).

[onecent]

40. God * is such a PUKE!!!!!!!!

[Shopaholic]

44. Amen to that.

And could he get through a single one interview without bumbling his way through it?

[Der Blaue Engel]

45. I may salute him with one

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Greylyn58]

43. Bush is such a LIAR!!!

Why doesn't God strike him down!!!

:evilfrown:

[SharonRB]

59. Didn't anyone tell you?

He IS God! (At least HE thinks so.)

:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

48. And God Bless Ted Kennedy!

David Gregory with shrub. Arrrgggggghhhh! STOP IT! STOP IT!
Stop showing *!

"The intelligence that we used was close to the UN!" FU.

Saddam: Dangerous times 2. Protect the citizens of the US? How the hell did getting rid of the "bad man" do anything for me?

Wow this guy sucks and I'm really getting nauseous listening to this crap. I imagine we're all furiously typing about how much we'd rather stick pins in our eyes then sit here and listen to this PRIMATE babble on and on! OMG.

ed: use of incorrectly chosen word.

[SharonRB]

Did you see Boston Legal last night?

Candice Bergen had a great line -- I LMAF! They had a case related to teaching "Intelligent Design" in science classes and she said she believes in evolution because "if you watched the presidential debates, there was no doubt that we're descended from monkeys." I just totally cracked up.

[RevCheesehead]

139. Too damned funny!

[Miami Liberal]

141. LOL!

I've got to start watching that show.

[Patsy Stone]

143. She's so great

and I'm glad that she's joined that show. That's a great line. :hi:

The security for bonehead's coronation is ridiculous. It's because he's a uniter...

[SharonRB]

208. I've missed her so much since

Murphy Brown went off the air. Boston Legal was already pretty funny. She just adds so much more -- I just love her. And they got so political last night. I always watch to see what David Kelley will throw in.

[Pirate Smile]

144. Ahhh - LMAO. That's funny.

[Catchawave]

258. Ahhh Candice aka Murphy Brown...and those infamous

..debates with Dan Quayle and unmarried "TV" moms. Classic.

[bleever]

140. See, you just need these displays of genuine outrage to keep

this thread from getting lounged.

:)


ed: doh

[Patsy Stone]

162. Right.

Topical information can only help the cause. It's all gonna go downhill after 9 p.m. though, mark my words.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

229. Yeah, great, another speech with the word 'freedom' in every frigging

sentence. He's made it into a nonsense word from overuse and using it incorrectly in a sentence.

:puke:

[SharonRB]

49. Yay --

Keef is covering Kerry's statement in Boston today. It makes me so sad to see him.

[RevCheesehead]

50. Wow! A Kerry sighting!

with good snarky comments from JK, too!

[Clark2008]

51. Haha! Kerry slow off the bat... so to speak.

:P

[Al-CIAda]

52. Kieth just busted on Kerry

lmao

[bunny planet]

65. some of us don't like that!!!!

Keef, no floaties for you if you crack on my man JK.

[Catchawave]

73. bunny, JK goofed today :(

[bunny planet]

95. yes, I'm listening.

I didn't hear the whole transcript of what he said at the MLK breakfast. How did he goof? I can take it, tell me.

[Catchawave]

251. JK used the MLK breakfast to talk about (?) fair voting....

...most of us :::sighed heavily::: (and I think including Keef) as a "day late and a dollar short", not to mention, not quite the venue this should have been brought up on.

Don't have the transcript handy, I did notice discussion in other DU forums today....

[bunny planet]

257. Until I see the whole transcript I find it hard to believe that that was

the only thing JK said at the breakfast honoring MLK. Taken out of context it seems like it might not have been the most pertinent thing to bring up, but actually voter disenfranchisement of African American voters was one of the things Dr. King fought hard against, so in context, it probably was very appropriate to refer to the fact that it is still going on.

[Catchawave]

261. Yes, I thought so too....until Keith rolled his eyes tonight....

and made the Bosox comment. Right or wrong, the timing was not the best for JK. I have to agree with that.

[bunny planet]

263. Yeah, I've never gotten the impression that Keef is overly fond of Kerry

but then I also heard he doesn't vote.......
could that be true. If so I wonder why, could he be cynical about the devolution of the American voting experience.

[Catchawave]

267. Not sure where KO's loyalties lie from Election 2004....

so I can't speak for him. BUT, I'm sure he and I were ABB !?!

[seito]

270. I think I heard him say that he does not vote

It is an matter of attempting to remain impartial. Imagine that integrity in journalism.

[bettyellen]

274. Plus, living in NY, he didn't have to!

Oh come on... he's at least an ABB!

[Catchawave]

273. Article on Kerry's MLK speech...

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/kerry/articles/2005/01/17/kerry_criticizes_election_outcome_at_mlk_day_breakfast/

[Der Blaue Engel]

110. Didn't. n/t

[SharonRB]

75. Me, too! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

242. BTW, that's "Keith". :) n/t

[Catchawave]

53. Go Keef, I agree with your Kerry comment....

...it was totally off topic for a MLK forum :(

[Der Blaue Engel]

63. Because civil rights are so not MLK?

:shrug:

[SharonRB]

68. Not really --

MLK stood for equality for all and JK was talking about how there was disenfranchisement in the election. There was a definite link.

[Pirate Smile]

156. I get the link. The lack of voting machines was most pronounced in

minority, Dem precincts.

[SharonRB]

167. Bingo!

[Patsy Stone]

54. I didn't get the BoSox joke, but I was typing

and I was drifting away on the strains of JK's voice. Was it deserving of :loveya: or was it a dig?

[Al-CIAda]

57. It was a dig...the Sox won the W Series over 3 mo's ago.

[Patsy Stone]

64. Yep

got it, thanks. And, Hi!

[Clark2008]

60. It was a dig, but a deserving dig - n/t

[Pirate Smile]

55. Kerry sighting and video

ugg - with a back slap

[bunny planet]

56. Hola!

[RevCheesehead]

61. Hiya, Thumper!

Been slamming any freepers lately? :)

[bunny planet]

69. I took the weekend off, but there were some tempting ones to thump

earlier in the day!

[suffragette]

58. Hi bettyellen

Go KO.

[bettyellen]

99. hey, my protest buddy, how are ya???!!!

[suffragette]

108. doing well

How goes it for you?

[Vadem]

66. Hey there, betty!.....I'm back to join in the LUV Fest!.....n/t

[bettyellen]

112. Welcome, it's great to see you again!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
don't be shy.... share the love !

[bear425]

67. Hi all!

I just love when Keef refers to * as Mr. Bush.

edit: forgot this... :loveya:

[SharonRB]

70. Peter Jennings does the same thing. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

81. Exactly, I was just going to post this. Love it! n/t

[Miami Liberal]

76. I'd love him even more if he called him chimp

:7

[SharonRB]

94. See my post after #48

I don't know why there's no number on mine. You'll love it.

[Shopaholic]

79. 99 times out of 100

he calls * "Mr." not President. KO-you RULE.

[Vadem]

71. ADA!!!!!! G-d love Keef, actually speaking about ADA!!!!....n/t

[RevCheesehead]

77. OWW! Mississippi!

Holy shit - that's HARSH!
Celebrating Robert E. Lee and MLK's birthday...

[noamnety]

78. Playing the Mississippi tax office recording

Thank you!

Unbelievable message there, I heard that earlier today.


I saw someone yesterday standing out in the cold here in Michigan holding a "MLK was a traitor" sign. I can't even imagine what runs through some people's heads.

[Sydnie]

86. I have missed that somehow today

it was a "Southern" MLK day message?

[SharonRB]

103. Where did you see that?

Obviously, I'm in Michigan, too.

[noamnety]

118. my lone MLK protestor

was spotted in Sterling Heights, Van Dyke and 17 mile, I think.

I was tempted to go back and interview him with a camera just to see what he had to say for himself, but it was too cold.

[SharonRB]

135. Oooooh, you're not too far from me

if you live around there. I'm in Huntington Woods, near the zoo.

[DemReadingDU]

80. Oddball coming up

Man with embedded nail in his skull, for 6 days!

[DemReadingDU]

98. and there are others!

totally amazing how so many people accidently shoot themselves with a nail gun

[Catchawave]

254. Shot with a nail gun and NOT KNOW it....lol....

...bless their hearts, all are ok, but the KeithO'rama does make ya think about "nail guns"...:)

[Clark2008]

82. January Birfdays!!!

Hee hee!!

Gots to love him (and the other three of us on this board who were ALSO born in January. :) )

Happy MLK Day, btw.

(And, I don't see a problem with Robert E. Lee Day. REL was a fine and decent man. He'd be rolling in his grave at the KKK and all that shit. He set his slaves free and fought for the South on the basis of A.) his birth and B.) states rights. This has been a "My father is a Civil War Historian Moment." LOL.)

[Catchawave]

84. Well, darn, I graduated from Robert E Lee High School

and had no idea we're sharing the holiday. Small world :::boink:::

Here in SE Virginny, it's just a Shopping Day. My bad....carry on KOEB sisters....<g>

[bunny planet]

91. oooh a Charo reference!

snarky!:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Isn't it amazing that Bobby Kennedy was the attourney general then, and Alberto 'Torquemada' Gonzalez is probably going to be now. I could just cry.

sigh.

[Patsy Stone]

101. Charo.

Swoon. Behold the power of cheese!

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

109. Coochie Coochie!

Love KO :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bunny planet]

126. you beat me too it, cootchie cootchie.

Wasn't she married to some Octegenarian band leader, Xavier Cougat, she was the Anna Nicole Smith of her day.

[Miami Liberal]

155. Yep

I think she's still married to him, that is if he's still alive.

[Patsy Stone]

240. Nope

died 1990
http://www.icdc.com/~ncassway/cugat/
If those little drawings on the site are by the artist Shag, I'm gonna die.


:loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

266. Oops!

I stand corrected. :)

[Clark2008]

127. And Dolly Parton

He always has to mention us Tennesseans!!

SWOON!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

248. I love her

and I am not kidding at all when I say I really want to go to Dollywood.

:hi:

[Clark2008]

255. I live near Dollywood

Come on up and visit!

:)

[Patsy Stone]

260. Maybe

I have to find out when she's there. Really, really love her. I have an autographed picture. :)

Are we only completely flattered and a little blown-away about the teeth-whitening thing? Or is it just me?

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Clark2008]

279. The chief of police of Pigeon Forge is close personal friend of mine

and he serves as Dolly's bodyguard when she's in town. I believe I could find out when she's gonna be here if you want me to! ;)

Oh, and my Mom used to play dolls with her when they were both little. One time when I interviewed Dolly, she said she remembered it because it was always a treat to come to Knoxville with her grandfather on the weekends (her grandfather and my grandfather worked together or something).

And, not only am I flattered beyond belief at the teeth-whitening thing - I seriously need to start counting how many times the man mentions something Tennessee-related in his shows. It seems nightly. I mean, hell, he even mentioned Tennessee Tuxedo once. :crazy:

:loveya: that Keith!!

[Patsy Stone]

281. That's amazing

I'll certainly look into the possiblity of that. And, yes...
:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

97. Okay, how do you do that nail-gun thingy.

Nails in the brain are almost an epidemic!

OMG! Are these all Darwin Award contenders?

Funny KO: :loveya: :loveya:

[bunny planet]

232. dang I missed nail gun guy!

[Patsy Stone]

252. Guys

He did a historical rundown, with x-rays, of all of the morans who have ever had a nail shot into their skulls. There were some funny quotes, too. The guy that the story was about didn't know it was there until he went to the dentist and had an x-ray. He thought he hit himself with the *other* side of the nail gun. Oy.

For KO (and the JK remark wasn't so bad, and the JK act wasn't bad either, plus footage = good!) :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[fooj]

100. Hi Ladies!!! I'm back...

Hope you held a spot open for me...:grouphug: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

115. Hey, you! n/t

[Miami Liberal]

125. Hi!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

102. WD-40 and cocaine. That's a ridiculous story. :) n/t

[Vadem]

104. Good Lord! I couldn't believe the latest "nail" guy, when they...

said it punctured his lip, then went to within an inch of his brain; he thought it was a toothache!!! Wouldn't you think something that punctured your lip would hurt like hell, never mind going up your skull to within an inch of your brain!!!!

Amazing!

[bettyellen]

105. Ex President of Harvard... you called it Keef...

that deserves:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[noamnety]

106. I'm confused on the WD-40

When mixed with cocaine, it causes nosebleeds ... so they sprayed it on toilet seats?!!! Did I miss something?

Please tell me people don't snort it off public toilet seats.

[Vadem]

116. OMG!!! I really missed something, according to this post!.....n/t

[noamnety]

128. I hope I'm the one who missed something

I'll have to search for a transcript on that one later. I would prefer not to have WD-40 on toilet seats anyway, nobody wants to slide off.

[bettyellen]

124. i read something about it, and it wasn't any clearer to me...

i know the guy was also searching patrons... i didn't see an explaination of the W-40.
would it make you slide off the seat if you were f*cked up???

[Patsy Stone]

129. Swindon, England

In order to stop people from snorting cocaine off of the toilet seats in a club, they sprayed the seats with WD-40, because it causes nosebleeds.

:crazy: and Ewww.

[bettyellen]

148. EEWWWWWWW.. snorting off the seats? you'd already have to be stoned to

do that. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

223. Yeccch. n/t

[Sydnie]

151. Back of the hand not good enough for them?

I don't get it. That's just GROSS!

[Vadem]

161. Does WD-40 cause nosebleeds or does cocaine cause nosebleeds?...

Seems as to what I've read, cocaine causes nosebleeds, also! OMG, amazing!

[bunny planet]

235. glad I missed that one.

double gross.

[noamnety]

249. Maybe they aren't snorting it off the seats

Maybe they are snorting it off other patrons' backsides.

[Patsy Stone]

253. Oh, no! LOL n/t

[RevCheesehead]

107. "That's Lawrence Summers -

...the future EX-President of Harvard University!"

Either that, or he'll be joining the Apology Hall of Fame soon.

[Patsy Stone]

111. Yeah, that Harvard thing was really stupid.

How do you say something like that?

[bettyellen]

130. well, first you have a penis, and then you forget not to think with it!

[Vadem]

170. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! .........n/t

[Patsy Stone]

262. Good, very good... You're working for your supper aren't you? n/t

[DemReadingDU]

114. Michael Schumacher & Ferrari team give Pope

a racecar!
How many boxtops was that?

[Patsy Stone]

119. Is it the new Popemobile? n/t

[Clark2008]

117. OMG!! My local newspaper just advertised on KO!!

I guess it was a local advertising spot - but the thing is... see I have a few friends who work there (I worked there for awhile, duh) and I've been talking up KO to them.

And, suddenly... they're advertising on his show! Whoa! I'd like to think I had something to do with that!

I mean, I did influence them to endorse Clark in the primaries! :)

[Patsy Stone]

123. Go, girl! Let's get his ratings up, up, up! n/t

[Pirate Smile]

Keep using your power for good, Clark2008!

:evilgrin:

[bunny planet]

120. Did I miss the story about the guy with the nail in his head......

that had to be an Oddball story. I didn't get upstairs to the TV in time to catch the whole Oddball segment. It's never anything earth shattering but that nail story looked good. I love stupid human tricks.

[fooj]

121. I wonder if KO knows we do this nightly?

Should we let him know?:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Catchawave]

136. I think so ::;cough::: :))) n/t

[Patsy Stone]

169. LOL! No, really? n/t

[Catchawave]

243. Really !

My bad....I do send him the links to KOEB so he can feel the love. Also to draw attention to DU, which I'm sure his crack research team has already discovered.

IMO, I think they discovered DU before me! As his show certainly reflects the spirit of KOEBers too :)

Am I in trouble.....? Heh.

[Patsy Stone]

265. No

Because they were reading this way before us and wouldn't you read something if you name was in the frickin' title? :crazy: Also, we were read aloud on The Stephanie Miller show a few weeks back. We're nationwide, baby! Also, I'm gonna venture a guess that you were not the only one who took those girly and perilous actions.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Catchawave]

269. Yes.....

I'm a Keefer'ho' and proud of it :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

275. Own it!

That's what I like about you! :)

[Pirate Smile]

280. I didn't know that. How much did she read and what was in it?

[Patsy Stone]

284. Stephanie? Is that you? LOL

I didn't hear it, but I read this on the thread one morning.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=234659&mesg_id=237883&page=

There may be some more info in later posts, but I don't know. Wowza.

[Shopaholic]

268. You little minx you----

aha--our DU/KOEB mole revealed. Well, let's hope that he's more flattered by our little forum than scared by us!

[Clark2008]

133. SEE!! Talking about Tennessee AGAIN!!

And Tennessee has a HUGE Arab population.

My ex husband is Arabic, for that matter.

[Shopaholic]

138. There's a sizable Lebanese population in my city in the Southeast

believe it or not.

[RevCheesehead]

134. Iraqi ex-patriots going to vote here?

So, like, are they going to use BBV?
Is anyone going to monitor their election here? And if so, will that set a precident so we can do that in 2 years?

[fooj]

152. Can you believe it?

Too much...

[suffragette]

172. Canadian news had something similar

Coincidentally (hmmm), the polling places were distributed in a similar pattern, mostly in eastern Canada, with the only western one being in Calgary. CBC said people had to travel twice to the polls, once to register and then to vote. People in the west were saying they couldn't make it.
I keep wondering if the votes from the ex-patriots will be folded into the overall voting numbers without distinguishing they are from elsewhere.

[Patsy Stone]

137. Kerry Sanders used to be local here.

He covered Hurricane Andrew from the floor of the cab in a remote truck. Kerry was parked under the Metrorail tracks in S. Miami.

[seito]

145. Hello

Sorry I'm late :(

[Der Blaue Engel]

150. We forgive you seito.

:hug:

[seito]

168. Thanks

:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

154. Hello

No detention. There was a Kerry sighting and a little dig. It wasn't major, but I think it was a little deserved. Plus, he played JK after *'s babbling and it seemed like a palette cleansing experience.

I think the jury's still out on the outfit tonight as well as the overall tie choice for said gift. And, our shopping thread was moved to the lounge. Bwah!

Welcome to the Monkey House.

[seito]

175. OMG

* was burring my ears, and I was writing a lesson plan. I had to turn it off, I could not stand it. I must have missed JK :(

[bettyellen]

177. palate cleansing, nice one!!

that's what it felt like to me. a nice sherbet. LOL.

[bunny planet]

239. most def, a palate cleansing was called for after the ordeal of sitting

through smirking chimp interview.

[Vadem]

Yes, Patsy! We need a lot of pallate (sp?) cleansing!.....Please...

Lord, cleanse our pallates!

[Catchawave]

142. My son is working DC this week....

...I wish I could 'splain, but that's all I know too. He's a "fed".

[Shopaholic]

147. Sounds like they're deploying all the Feds for this

coronation

[Catchawave]

264. Yeah, son is sworn to the constitution and is doing his job though

he was a huge Edwards supporter, he gave up "politics" after the primaries.

[fooj]

149. He'll be busy, busy, busy...

lots to do for the coronation!

[Kolesar]

146. I know. Let's send Ken Blackwell to monitor elections in Iraq

Since he is such a patriotic freedom-loving republican and an "expert" on elections.

[Patsy Stone]

181. Since

the whole country may or may not be able to vote, I'd say he'd be perfect for the job. Kathy, you suck. What are you hiding?

[bettyellen]

153. Awww, he speaking Spanish-- sort of. Chee- lay!! Ole' Keef!

Con- sep- chi-oon. You go big man!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

165. He always pronounces Spanish words just right

sigh...

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Kolesar]

157. Bushism...pathetic

"that means that that was where he grew up"

[Clark2008]

158. Apparently that judge does not know any 3 year olds or his own

was stupid because children at 3 years old remember A LOT!

My son still remembers 9/11 and he was only 2 and 1/2 at the time. In fact, he wants to be an architect now so that he can design buildings that can "scoot outta da way" of airplanes. Awwww...

[Shopaholic]

163. You got yourself one smart kid there Clark

and cute too judging by his photo that you posted in our weekend KO tie-picking thread!

[Clark2008]

210. Here's a more recent one

I post this one all the time, but it's adorable (forgive me all who've seen this before. I'm just a proud Mama!)

Wes Clark teaching my son to salute (he told him he had the wrong hand here. LOL!)

[Shopaholic]

230. That is sooooo sweet.

Love that Wes.

[noamnety]

238. What the hell is Clark wearing in that photo?

Is that a light grey suit?

[Clark2008]

244. Um... CLOTHES

As opposed to that other photo...

You know, this one:

[Clark2008]

178. Thank you Keith for bitch-slapping that judge.

"Judge's narrowness of mind..."

"The judge knows nothing of childhood psychology..."

I'm bawling and now I'm going to go in the living room and hug my son.

:cry:

[bettyellen]

193. Yes, nice smack down, KO!! Clark, your kid sounds so adorable!

what a sweetie pie!
here's a :hug: from aunt b, okay!!

[bunny planet]

246. Yes, KO really seems sincerely upset about this story.

His remarks about the judge and the behavior of the 'adults' in the situation were spot on.

For his sensitive side, he gets many floatacular devices
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

159. OMG - that poor kitty!

That's just so awful! frozen to a pipe.

I won't let my beasts outside. They are limited to brief visits to the garage.

RIght now, I have a cat butt, 2 legs, and a tail hanging over the monitor. Oreo wants attention.

[bunny planet]

160. All of that expensive prep for the Inauguration, all that protection and

it only takes one pretzel to screw the whole thing up!

[Patsy Stone]

164. LOL!

OMG, what a dork. Aye-yay-yay.

:puke:

[fooj]

171. Thanks for the giggle!

B-)

[troubleinwinter]

174. inaugeration wishes:

[SharonRB]

176. LOL

We need to feed him more pretzels.

[seito]

180. LMAO

All Hail The Pretzel

[bettyellen]

182. ROTFL ! ! !

[Miami Liberal]

195. LMAO! n/t

[fooj]

166. Can you believe Prince Harry? WTF?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[Shopaholic]

173. This poor kid.

Go after to him KO! Take a pop at the Judge who so richly deserves it. And I had the same thought about the adopted parents taping and turning over that tape to the media. Personally, I'm not sure any of these people deserve this kid.

[bettyellen]

179. aww this kid is breaking my heart, keefs, too. we both need a .....

:hug:

[Shopaholic]

185. Going after O'Lielly

The Big Giant Head

[SharonRB]

191. I heard about this last night.

It's so sad. Of course he's old enough to know and remember what happened. It will probably scar him for life. That judge was an idiot.

[Pirate Smile]

183. The taped pieces didn't set right with me. It was too staged.

[Catchawave]

226. Yep Pirate, staged like a Springer show?

Which creeped me out. I agree with the judge, the child's not going to remember this, but all four of these parents were making this a side show...ick.

[RevCheesehead]

186. God, I hate that judge!

I hate this story - it just brings out the worst in me.

Judges who don't consider the child first should rot in hell.

[noamnety]

247. I think I understand the tape

Thinking as a parent, if I were involved in a lawsuit over someone taking away my kid, I'd be trying to get as much evidence as I could, and playing every angle I could.

It seems tasteless, but I'm sure they feel desperate, and are more concerned about finding a way to pressure the judge to give their child back to them than they are about anything else.

The judge is an ass, and media and public pressure might be the only way of overturning the decision.

[noamnety]

293. on second thought

Maybe I don't - I didn't catch on that the biological dad filed to block the adoption back in 2001 and has been fighting this ever since.

I'm back to all the parents being idiots. If they knew there was a dispute and it could end this way, they should have been - in the best interests of the child - making sure the child was comfortable with ALL the parents, so no matter what the outcome was, he wouldn't be traumatized. And they should have had a commitment to ensure he gets to see them all throughout his life. If they had his best interests at heart.

Judge is still an ass, regardless.

[SharonRB]

184. What was he thinking?

And was he out shopping by himself. I don't THINK so. Whoever was with him should have known better and suggested something else to wear.

[fooj]

as hard as it may be to believe...

HIS BROTHER was with him! I was STUNNED!

[SharonRB]

199. I actually knew that, but

don't they have body guards or something with them when they go out?

[Patsy Stone]

187. Clean out a pigsty and no girlfriend at Klosters

And, Harry,... "The girl in the picture wasn't his girlfriend."

Well, he's doing a great job in the playboy second-in-line role!

:loveya:

[Shopaholic]

192. Oooh--Michael Musto up next.

I love Michael! :bounce: Now there's someone I want to see interviewing the celebs on the red carpet. They think Joan & Melissa & Starr are bad? Wait til Michael pounces on them! Hee Hee. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

198. I wish I had the TV Guide channel

These shows are not the same without horse-faced Melissa Rivers. They were so bad.

[Sydnie]

219. I agree Patsy

We were watching Star Jones last night and just kept saying that we thought Joan was bad but gosh bring her back! Star was horrible and what was up with that dress she was wearing? That one strap on the shoulder -- off the shoulder -- it was like a drunken Lucille Ball skit!

[Patsy Stone]

259. If I could type it out properly

in the dialogue it deserved, complete with swishing noises, I'd do my Melissa Rivers impersonation for you. :evilgrin:

They never knew who anyone was, Joan always asked trite questions and sometimes the wrong question, and I loved them. I loved that she used to make the stars show her their engagement ring. I lived through Melissa's wedding (I knew that wasn't going to last! A horse guy? Well, at least he's used to looking at things that look like that!), a baby and a divorce, and now, they're just gone!


..."Back to you, Mom!"

[bettyellen]

197. I'm afraid those pigs are in trouble now!! LOL!

i'm killing myself... am i the only one worried about those pigs!
maybe because my parents were farmers! LOL!!

[DemReadingDU]

188. Bill O'Reilly is a big salami!

[Patsy Stone]

190. Big Giant Head!!!

I just love that! A nice black suit, an O'Lielly crack, and Michael Musto. It's a good night.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[fooj]

194. Party On!!

:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Shopaholic]

196. He seems to be back in rare form tonight

I thought he was a little flat last week. But he's back, and the snark is 100% there and he looks great too. :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

And on edit--how the hell does he remember SNL skits from two decades ago? He has GOT to have a photographic memory!

[Patsy Stone]

202. Or a great research dept. n/t :)

[fooj]

203. INDEED!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

200. Pia Zadora and Charo in the same show

I love you Michael.

[Shopaholic]

206. See--he does READ us! He said he needed

the teeth whitener!:scared:

[Miami Liberal]

211. LOL!!!

Wasn't that on Friday's thread?

[noamnety]

256. You guys are bad people

teeth whitener, LMAO.

Sparkeef, I was not part of that discussion.

[Patsy Stone]

204. Oh, no! He DID NOT!!!!!!

No, no, no. He did not just say that he needs the teeth-whitening.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[seito]

213. ROFL

Somebody's watchin :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

205. Keith asks: Maybe I need it? (teeth whitening)

Who says this guy doesn't read our stuff!

[Clark2008]

225. Hehehehehehehehehe!

I went from tears of pain to tears of laughter in about two seconds flat.

I CANNOT BELIEVE HE SAID THAT!!



We are SO BUSTED!

[bleever]

207. ROFLMAO!! Teeth-whitening reference!! Ladies, you be

BUSTED!!

:7

[Shopaholic]

209. I'm blushing.

:hi: Still love ya KO. :loveya::loveya::loveya:

So uhm--do you want to give us a hint on which tie you like the best?

[Patsy Stone]

215. I was gonna ask him. So, which is it?

ROFLMAO, and I'm blushing, too.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[seito]

218. I thought it was supposed to be a surprise

:9

[femme.democratique]

216. LOL! I like your teef, Keef....poor guy, everyones a critic....

mmmm KO

:tinfoilhat:

[seito]

227. Keef Keef we aint in love wif yer teef

and if they all fell out we'd :loveya: anyway

[Clark2008]

233. KOEB poet laurette:

Ahem:

There once was a man named Keef
Who had big, giant feet.
We love his weird ties
And bluish gray eyes.
And, SOME here like his teef!!

[femme.democratique]

237. LOL bravo ****applause****

mmmm big giant feet.

[Catchawave]

231. Didn't Sparky mention this too.....or ole Spark is just a DU mole?..nt

[Kolesar]

212. Wow, MSNBC just called Bush's Soc Security message "a scare tactic"

that was in the lead in to the next show, "MSNBC reports"

[Shopaholic]

220. About Damned Time the Media Expose this Scare tactic for what it is

Good deal MSNBC! I'm over here now watching my other favorite "Keef"--Keifer Sutherland on "24". Of course they'll erase all their good work by having the Coultergiest later on Scary-borough's show.

P.S.--Still can't believe KO said he might need the teeth whitener. :crazy:

[rodeodance]

271. calling a rose a rose --(the SS fear factor) --Go for it MSNBC!

[bunny planet]

214. Ok Shopaholic, he mentioned tooth whiteners twice.

HE'S READING THIS THREAD!!!!!

[Shopaholic]

224. So I guess we probably shouldn't mention locking him up in

pink handcuffs or any other sex-related thought that crosses our minds anymore. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

228. Too late

Cat's out of the bag. Pool pics, too. Busted. ROFLMAO!

:hi: Keef, and :loveya:

[Shopaholic]

234. Guilty as charged. Now I feel like we really need to get him

a great gift for his birthday to make up for our own snarky behavior. Speaking of which, do we continue to discuss our tie choice here or do we start a new thread in Media or go back to the Lounge to our moved threat to discuss?

[Clark2008]

241. Why the hell SHOULDN'T we mention those things!

Some of us here are SINGLE and ADORABLE. ;)

:hi:

[Shopaholic]

245. Excellent point.

And I would be among the single and not so bad looking if I do say so myself! Of course, the fact that I live several hundred miles away from KO and will in all likelihood never have the opportunity to meet him and even if I did, would probably be rendered speechless being totally beside the point!!!! :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

250. It's hard to talk with your tongue on the floor.

[bettyellen]

278. or the shoe size obsession.

[SharonRB]

217. Nighty, night

I'm off to do my exercises and go to sleep. Gotta get up early for physical therapy in the a.m.
:hi:

[Shopaholic]

222. Good luck on your PT Sharon.

When I had to have it after reconstructive knee surgery about 15 years ago I used to refer to it as Physical Torture. Still do my knee exercises pretty faithfully though after all these years.

[bettyellen]

221. OMG "An Affair of Love" is on IFC.... an interesting movie

these two people meet through a personal ad becasue they have the same unusual fantasy...
you never find out what the hell it is. very french. very fustrating......

[Vadem]

282. Allright Betty!!! Spell it out--what sexy movie are you talking about?....

Don't keep us Keef lovers in suspense!

[bettyellen]

272. OMG, I just watched that whole movie. and we are still way up there!!

now i'm going to go out, drink a lot, act out the movie and come back at 2 30 or so...
:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

277. Have you come over

to the playhouse to pick out ties? LOL

Have a good time and good luck with the acting. :evilgrin:

[crispini]

283. I finally made it here!

Hi everyone! :hi: I was out doing a community MLK thingy tonight. It was most excellent!!!

And this thread was GREAT. I thought of all ya'll (and Keith, of course) at 7pm sharp! MAN, I can't wait for the rebroadcast. OMG, I can't believe it about the teeth-whitening crack... do ya'll really think we are busted? THAT is too incredibly funny. Can't believe I missed it live -- this is really gonna cut into my activism if I have to be here every night promptly at 7! :evilgrin:

Ya'll really think we are outed? The mind boggles.... Swoooooooooon..... :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Ok, where's the tie thread, same place? I came here first, of course. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

285. OMG

I'm going with a big, fat YES! ROFLMAO! I was just gonna go check on what's up in the Mall!

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Clark2008]

286. Hi crispini!

:hi:

Missed you!

And I'm thinking about sending Keith a box of Arm & Hammer soda. That was teeth whitner for my family for YEARS before they came out with the home bleach kits. LOL!

(Just kidding. I would never send Keith a box of soda! A tin foil hat - sure, but not a box of soda! :crazy:)

[crispini]

287. Hi Clark2008!

I missed everyone too! :hi:

[crispini]

288. Ok, I have to add my bits to the thread.

Even if everyone's gone. :D

#1. God bless Sy Hersh. (Although, are we surprised? Uh, no.)

#2. Too much chimpy on ths show! :puke: I can't believe that people actually voted for this moran. And I can't believe he actually had this long interview on teevee. He NEVER talks this much. And, he needs to STFU about his planned "piratization" of social security. I do NOT want my parents moving in with me, thankyewverymuch.

Can I just say I really dislike that picture of Kerry that they use on Countdown? He's much better looking than that.

And the Kerry slam was warranted IMO, although OUCH. Ya know, in a strange confluence of events, I myself was at a MLK dinner / racism workshop tonight and they asked us to related the most recent racist event we had witnessed recently, personally or otherwise, and I didn't even think. I opened my mouth and started ranting about long lines and voter disenfranchisement in Ohio. Heh. Maybe I was channelling Kerry. :D

[crispini]

290. More bits.

I so can't believe the nailgun epidemic. And I'm not getting the Coke - WD40 connection either.

I am LOVIN this tie, btw. But then I'm a big ol' stripey tie fan. :P :loveya:

And, sheesh, the preparation for the inaug..... that just makes me very sad for some reason, that that's all necessary.

I can't believe the tsunami practical joke-- some people just have NO BRAINS! :mad: And, OMG, poor frozen kitty!

And who-ever picks the music for this show--- extra floaty hearts for you! :loveya: :yourock:

[crispini]

291. End bit...

Ok, I'm having my doubts about the teeth whitening being a shout-out to us, just because it was mentioned prominently in the Golden Globe gift bag, and jokes about it kind of follow naturally from there. And, Catchawave, :spank: to you for sending him our embarrassing girly threads! :D

I confess, I am torn between blushing & snickering, vs. saying "oh, it's a coinkydink" ... because, ya know, it's only a small step from believing the people on your teevee are talking to you, to living in a box and mumbling to yourself. :evilgrin:

</cynic>

OMG, YA'LL, IT WAS SUCH A SHOUTOUT TO US! :bounce:

Ok, I'm going to bed. Nighty ho! Sweet dreams to all (i'm sure ya'll are already there.)

:loveya:
:loveya:
:loveya:
:loveya:
:loveya:

[noamnety]

296. I want to see some good condi excerpts tonight

Preferably with Kerry (snark-free on Kerry, just this once).
