KOEB Thread (Monday, Feb. 7)

[SharonRB]

Hi, girls. How is everyone tonight? We're getting more air play on Stephanie's show, as many of you already know. She read today from last Friday's daytime thread where we talked about her talking about us. Someone needs to call her -- this could get interesting.

Tonight's show should be good.

[Clark2008]

1. It's always good!

But, with Deep Throat speculation and more ragging on O'Lielly, it's sure to be a hoot!
:loveya: for Keef!

[SharonRB]

5. Hi, Clark

I wondered where everyone was.

[jhain]

O'Leilly time tonight!?

I just LOVE O'Leilly Time.

Thanks for the heads up!
-Jude

[Clark2008]

23. Hey Jude!

Oh, shoot... now I'll have to sing.

"Don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her under your skin, then you'll begin to make it better."

Shades of Super Bowl halftime. ;)

[SharonRB]

43. Everybody now...

na na na na, na na na na....

[Patsy Stone]

125. No that's this (Warning -- graphic photo enclosed)

LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist. I'd be surprised if this gets to stay.

[sparky_in_ma]

133. OMG, it's Michael's nose

:scared:

[Patsy Stone]

137. Been looking for that nose EVERYWHERE!

Hi, sparky... It seems a little calmer in here tonight. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

141. Some of us

are still hung over from the super bowl.:hangover:

[Patsy Stone]

167. Right! Forgot to congratulate you

They're dragging out the word "dynasty", huh? :toast:

[sparky_in_ma]

179. bad word

They're just a bunch of guys working as a real team. :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

193. I know

and I think it takes a bit of time and distance to announce a "dynasty". :) As a girl, however, I liked Brady's hair longer. My .02.

ed: sp!

[sparky_in_ma]

201. Ming had a Dynasty

I think they played in Green Bay. Hafta ask the Rev..

I can't comment on the hair, although after watching Sponge Bob reruns, :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

212. The Carringtons had one, too.

And, I think I see you turning into a "Metrosexual" before our very eyes. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

215. I'm going out

and change the oil in my truck, right now. Then do fifty snark-ups.

[bettyellen]

217. you're snarks are showing some definition these days!

goodnight sweetie!

[Patsy Stone]

222. G'night -- snarky_in_ma. :) n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

231. Nite

:hug:

[seito]

234. Nite snarky

I mean sparky ;)

[sparky_in_ma]

245. : )

Nite to you seito:hug:

[bettyellen]

Uh oh, I drageed out the word dynasty-- worse i repeated it from Faux

News.......
i'm sorry sparky, i didn't mean it like that. i was just repeating crap i overheard and trying to see how long i could tread water pretending i knew what the hell everybody was talking about. i did learn a lot about the patriots. without really trying.
i was just curious about fans and that tipping point they get to when they get sick of a winnning team. Like the Bulls and the Yankees. So it's an innocent question wrapped inside a compliment. I swear.

[sparky_in_ma]

219. : )

just teasing you.:) You're so sweet you could get away with it.
Hey, I notice the flirt didn't show up. Did he at least send flowers?;-)

[bettyellen]

284. shhh, maybe he's lurking, and i'm supposed to pretend i don't care!

LOL, it was cute having the bar open. hard work, but gratifying. i slacked off and let mr scorpio take over. kleeb staggered over there and scamed another drink. mr s makes sure everybody gets home okay, so it's all good.
hey, someone called me a freep for the patriots thread! it was like a hazing!
:toast:

[Miami Liberal]

145. OUCH! That looks painful! n/t

[johnaries]

169. Thanks! I never could get a pic with resolution that good!

What can I say... I was breast fed as a child.

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

185. Always happy to help

bring the decency level waaaay down. :)

[bunny planet]

197. I needed more of a warning........

perhaps even a whole thread of warnings. EEEEEEEEEwwwwwww!

[Botany]

275. Thank you for keeping us abreast of the latest

..... in the Jackson case.

:bounce:

[sellitman]

324. Was that....

Paul McCartney's breast?

[Vadem]

2. Hey Sharon, I'm here, at least! Luv Keef!....n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

3. Hi

:hi:

[Clark2008]

18. Hi Sparky!

How are you this evening?

[sparky_in_ma]

21. Doing good

and you?:toast:

[Clark2008]

30. Tired, but beginning to relax now.

No alcohol for me this evening. I'll be the DD. A cup of green tea would be nice.

[sparky_in_ma]

34. Me too

gotta run early tonite, but always happy to serve tea.:)

[noamnety]

44. Instead of green tea

can I interest you in some pumpkin slush?

I accidentally thawed that instead of soup for our dinner.

[Vadem]

53. Verrrrry interesting! Is that like Bourbon Slush???? Yum!...n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

56. LOL

So what's for dinner?

[noamnety]

68. I've rescued worse disasters

Normally I am the master of kitchen improv. I've transformed cake batter to a tasty chicken marinade during a little emergency. I'm not sure about this one though.

I have sweet potato fries going in the oven, and maybe I can make some grilled cheese out of my patented bronchitis bread.

[bunny planet]

206. I made blue chicken once.

For company. I was supposed to make it with orange curacao and I bought blue curacao instead. It was delicious but very unappetizing to look at.
My family never lets me live that one down.

[Patsy Stone]

221. So *that's* where the blue food is! :( n/t

[crispini]

236. LOL. Ok, now THAT's funny! nt

[Nothing Without Hope]

36. Hey, Sparky! Our Pats WON yesterday - must have been our cheering! n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

52. Hi Hope

Yes, another good win. Hey, in the spring lynnesin is coming to Boston in a bunny suit, lost a bet to Will Pitt. I'm going to come down and take pictures. Syndie also was interested.

[Nothing Without Hope]

61. Oh, I'd LOVE to see that & meet you all! Can I come watch too? n/t

[sparky_in_ma]

71. Yes

when Will posts the date, they said probably in April or a little later. They're both very busy. I thought it would be fun to have the bunny on a swan boat.

[Sydnie]

80. She posted that it might not happen until May. I know where she can get

a bunny suit in Boston too, within walking distance of the park!

I thought the game was a bit slow last night though. Not nearly as exciting as last years, half time show not included.

[sparky_in_ma]

92. I was on the edge

all nite.:scared: I've met some of them, they really are regular nice guys.

[Nothing Without Hope]

188. I loved that some of them brought their little children out onto the field

before the game. They DO seem like "regular nice guys," and I'm glad they and the Eagles got through the game without another major injury.

I'm glad it wasn't a blowout or humiliation for either side. I was on the edge of my seat sometimes too, which is the idea in sports.

Their misfortune is to be in a town that loves baseball most of all. After the Red Sox's astounding, miraculous season, everything else has to be a bit anticlimactic. I hope they get MAJOR cheering and support from fans in the homecoming celebration tomorrow. They really deserve it.

[sparky_in_ma]

The kids were so cute.

That must be a real treat for a kid, playing with your dad out there. I got mushy.

[Nothing Without Hope]

247. Yeah, I got mushy too. What a wonderful time to share.

So great for the fathers, too, to be able to share their pride and achievement with their children.

I felt much the same way about the scene after the game where Pats head coach Belllichik was standing so near his father Steve just after the end of the game that BOTH of them were drenched in the traditional Gator Ade bath. You probably know (more than I) about the long history with football shared by the two of them. How lovely that they shared that moment too. His dad is in his 80's now but was spry enough when hit by that tub full of Gator Ade!

Yes, it's very easy to see them as regular, nice guys, and you confirmed that impression in your earlier post.

I'm proud of them and for them, and by no means only for their win.

I'm getting mushy again!

[sparky_in_ma]

257. Nite

I gotta go do clean up from yesterdays party. :hangover:

[Nothing Without Hope]

147. I have to agree about the game. But NOTHING can possibly surpass

the thrill of the Red Sox defeating the Darth Yankees, even their subsequent sweep of the Cardinals in the World Series. That was such a miraculous time, I'll treasure it forever.

I really admire the Patriots for their hard work and professionalism. I think it was the difference in coaching that was the single biggest factor in the game last night. For example, the way the Eagles sort of walked around slowly and didn't double-call plays in the final minutes may have kept them from having a chance to even up the score. THAT was poor coaching. They should have been drilled in what to do in that situation.

I did enjoy most of the game, once things finally started settling down from the flurry of mistakes in the beginning. And it was nice to see Paul at halftime. He looked small among all those massive lightboards and fireworks, but he held his own.

[Nothing Without Hope]

120. Wow, there's a concept! We can pose him by the bronze

"Make Way For Ducklings" statues too. I think they're pretty nearby.

I can't see Will Pitt missing a trick on this scene!
:evilgrin:

[sparky_in_ma]

127. Priceless

I didn't know that was there, I've only been on the swan boats.

[bettyellen]

140. what pray tell, is a swan boat? what is going on?

a bunny on a swan? i guess it's spring time down at the animal farm!
how are ya, sparky?
:loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

148. Hey bettyellen

you must tell Hope and Syndie about your evil thread yesterday.:evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

198. i hate that bitch who doesn't tip, if she stops by we have to ask her to..

leave. she doesn't tip wait staff!
:loveya:

[Sydnie]

205. I missed an evil thread? Where?

[sparky_in_ma]

210. I meant

the one about the Pats, they're from MA also.:evilgrin:

I'd forgotten about the tip one, can't blame you on that one.

[Nothing Without Hope]

171. The Swan Boats and the bronze duckling statues are famous Boston tourist

kitsch. They are little white boats with white wing shapes on the sides, a swan head inthe front, and (I think) foot pedals to make them paddle around. I've lived near Boston for over 20 years and have never been on a swan boat, but you would not believe the numbers of postcards I have seen with them featured. They're iconic.

The bronze statues of the ducklings and their mother are from an old children's book -- very famous in Boston -- called "Make Way For Ducklings." I'm not sure EXACTLY where they are, but since in the story they are supposed to walk among the busy pedestrians to go swimming near the Swan Boats, I'm sure they're around that area.

Bunnies, Swan Boats & Ducks -- sounds like good blackmail material to me! I'm glad WIll is on OUR side--he's mean!
:evilgriin:

[Sydnie]

191. Here's a pic of the ducklings

still have a troll in them though! LOL

[Sydnie]

181. Here's a pic

I was doing an online game with some friends and had to have the troll appear in pictures before it got mailed back across the country to someone else. This is the troll having a picnic with his furby friends! LOL


The boats are in the background. They look like giant swans and are paddled around the pond in the Boston Public Garden.

[Patsy Stone]

209. That's a funny game, syd

My family had a really ugly tapestry. The goal was to hand it off, or hide it somewhere when you went to visit another family member -- without their knowledge. Someone once tossed it into the window of a moving train!

Have I said, "Hi!" yet? :hi:

[bunny planet]

216. I wasn't the one with the dogs playing poker was it? My neighbors had a

tapestry of that when I was growing up.

[Patsy Stone]

225. No, a black and white nude. U-g-l-y! :) n/t

[Sydnie]

237. A friend used to do that with her sister with a red nerf ball

I remember one year, she sent it to her in the center of a homemade popcorn ball!

[Sydnie]

226. Not tonight

Hi right back at 'cha!

I think we should do something like that with the KOEB mug. Take pics of us with it all over the country then send the pics to Keef!

How about it?

[Patsy Stone]

I like it

I like it fine. :)

[crispini]

251. You. Are. Brilliant.

:thumbsup: But you do realize it will take approximately 2,568 posts for us to pull that one off, eh? Go for it, captain, organize it. :7

[Sydnie]

254. ACK! Where's the thread with the link for the mug? LOL

First things first. Gotta get a mug and lots of names to participate.

I LOVE these kind of games!

Woooooo Hoooooooo

Should we plan in the lounge or at "home"?

[Patsy Stone]

262. Ask and ye shall receive...

Hey, I don't see the bib or thong up there though! ;)

[Sydnie]

280. Ok.. ordered the mugs

One to share and one as a spare!

[RevCheesehead]

334. I'll be happy to take mine to Lambeau Field!

Perhaps perched atop a foam cheesehead. :)

Hi, everyone who is still awake. The Rev was tired, and FELL ASLEEP during the 7 pm show! Forgive me, Keith! :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

337. Hi Rev

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

341. Ooh, Sparky!

I thought I was here all by myself. :hi:
Guess everyone turned in early, huh?

[sparky_in_ma]

342. I came back

after cleaning the house from yesterdays party and the place was empty. Not too many floaties to clean up tonite.

Maybe we can meet at a Pats-Packers super bowl next year.:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

345. That's already been done, but I wouldn't mind a rematch!

Hmm...do you generally do housework, or only out of necessity? I've got a major disaster happening here (and I'd love to get the Christmas tree down before the snow melts).

[sparky_in_ma]

346. Tree still Up?

wOOt! I have to keep it up, cos if I let it go it would look like animal house real fast. Now my truck....it's a mess inside but it's been too cold to rake out the cab.:)

Got to get to bed, nite:pals:

[sparky_in_ma]

213. Cool

A troll picnic.:)

[Sydnie]

153. The duckling are not far from the boats Sparky.

I did an online game there last year with a troll... took picture at both places with my troll. It was funny!

[Sydnie]

73. I will not miss that! I want to see that on the Swan Boats

I have a digital camera and extra batteries all ready to shoot the event!

[cry baby]

54. Hi cutie!

:loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

87. Hi cry baby

:hug:

[HeeBGBz]

4. I wonder if Deep Throat will be someone we haven't thought of

Yet.

Go Keith.

[SharonRB]

9. I loved the whole clothing theme

from his blog today.

[Clark2008]

15. Kind of "TIES" it all together, doesn't it?

:silly:

[SharonRB]

22. LOL!

[Nothing Without Hope]

108. If it was Rehnquist, I'll bet Poppy Bush was feeding him info

It's a case of "cui bono?" George H W Bush had lots to gain by getting Nixon out and he had intel dirt on everybody in DC. He's still feared because of that.

I suspect GHWB as being the hidden spider in the web, safely at a distance from the dark garages and threat of exposure, but feeding the info that would bring Nixon down.

Why assume Deep Throat acted alone and for solely patriotic reasons? I think it's probably more complex than that.

And welcome to the KOEB, HeeBGBz! I can tell from your username that you're a natural!

:hi:

[L. Coyote]

325. It was Dick Cheney, the young Dick Cheney, all idealistic!

:-)

[Clark2008]

6. He calls him "Throat," just like true researchers of the mystery!

LOL!

Keith, :yourock:

[noamnety]

7. good evening

[seito]

10. OMG

Bless you :) I was hoping somebody got that. Sooooooo cute.

[SharonRB]

11. Love the picture, fern!

[noamnety]

32. I like the smile lines

above in the corners of the smiles - they both match.

[Clark2008]

14. Awwww... my son will like that one!

:D

[Sydnie]

66. Ditto! Great PIC!!!!

I can only imagine what Dobson would do with that one! LOL

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

246. Excellent!

But I gotta say something about the suit -- as much as my therapist tries, I just can't get past it, sorry. :)

Thanks for posting that. Could he be just a little more perfect? Nope, don't think so.

8. Hi All

12. Hi Ladies and gentlemen, I can't see the TV to watch KO if I'm on

the computer. How does he look tonight?:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

16. Black suit -- so he looks great!

[Vadem]

24. Very handsome! Wearing a charcoal grey pinstripe suit with a...

brick colored tie, with a yellow(?) thready, checky, kind of thing running through it. Ladies???

[cry baby]

Ooooh, I'll have to stay awake and watch the re-play! Thanks for

the description!!!!:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

13. Aha! See how rumors get started?!

Some people were reporting that we would know who Throat was in the course of a few days. Dean is saying the man is merely ill - it may be close and it may not be.

[bettyellen]

48. ben bradlee says he's written his obituary. that used to creep me out when

i worked at people magazine, all the pre prepped celeb obits.
they're mostly old people and the likes of courtney love and evil kenevil. the uninsurable.

[suffragette]

63. hi betty

You used to work at People mag? I know you must have some good stories about that.

[bettyellen]

131. oh yes, my very first / office job! LOL was freelancing for both the top

editors--both women-- they were the biggest ball busters ever. And all the other editors were lovely people. I couldn't really even top, it was a fun easy summer job.
actually it was the only office job i ever had, and it was damned pleasant at worst.

[Patsy Stone]

117. Courtney Love

There's trouble walkin' !

Hey, girl. Saw you tending bar in The Lounge the other night, but I couldn't get to the party. Also, been meaning to tell you: I love Marilyn Sokol. :)

:hi:

[bunny planet]

232. Me too!

I loved her from when she used to be on Steve Posts old radio show on WBAI, she did this character who attended 'Our Lady of Perpetual Motion' Catholic High School. She was hysterical, haven't seen or heard of her for years. Should I know about something she's been doing recently. I never watch tv except for KO, Jon Stewart and HBO so if she's been on anything else I'm not aware.

[Patsy Stone]

269. She's on a commercial for I forget what.

I saw her and started smiling immediately. :)

[bettyellen]

241. and i love you for saying that... she was a doll, she chatted w/us about

the MSM, how they try to make fun of actors for having an opinion. she asked me and amy alot about ourselves. she was cool and warm. she just has always cracked me up, and i always guessed she was a real pip, but genuine, ya know. and ii was right. she's all that.
well she got some :loveya: from me.

[Patsy Stone]

267. If for no other reason than

her role as Lulu in "Can't Stop the Music," she gets many :loveya: from me...

:hi:

[bettyellen]

282. was that a movie? i'll have to look for it!

[Patsy Stone]

285. Um, yeah... it is...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080492/

Bruce Jenner, Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine and many others in 1980's cheesy valentine to the birth of the Village People -- starring the Village People.

ROFL. To die!!!!

[bettyellen]

314. wow. i love the village people. i have to rent that.. do they rollerskate?

[Patsy Stone]

320. Steve and Valerie do,

in the opening scenes through the Village. You MUST rent this movie. See if you can rent it on $1 day, you'll feel like you've made out like a bandit!

The Leatherman (just died recently, Glenn Hughes?) sings "Danny Boy" for his audition; he had an amazing Tenor voice. There's a commercial for Milk in it also. Can't say enough about this movie for its time capsule quality and -- you want some crackers with that cheese? :)

[bettyellen]

335. danny boy? that's my mom's favorite song. she also liked

"you'll never appreciate your mother, till she's six feet under ground!"
that's a real irish lyric. i swear. she used to elbow me whenever they'd play it and give me the look. bwaaaah. good times.

i can not figure out where to put the commas in that sentence.

You have good ears hon! Good job catching her reading the thread again today.

Just got home.

Gosh... does Dean look OLD!

37. I always have my radio on at work and

[Sydnie]

46. If I had left for work ON TIME I would have heard it today

But I was late and just had to refresh DU one more time before leaving. Then I saw your post and was kicking myself for running late!

I agree...someone should call in!

51. Hi BE and KOEB! Re Deep Throat, here's what I emailed to KO today

DEEP THROAT - Could he have been fed info by George H W Bush?

(snip)
With all the new noise about Deep Throat and the whispers that he is William Rehnquist, I find myself suspicious. The assumption that DT acted entirely alone and got his own information is an ASSUMPTION that is not questioned often enough. What if DT took the risk of meeting with the Woodward & Berstein but was fed info by someone else with excellent intel sources and his own agenda? I can easily see George H W Bush as the information feeder. As you point out in your blog, he did have his own agenda in wanting Nixon out. Poppy was in a position to know what was going on and would be alert for an opportunity to advance himself. To this day he is feared because he has dirt on so many people in Washington.

If Deep Throat was motivated by concern for the good of the country (another assumption, but let's consider it for a moment), then I can't see Poppy Bush in this bold, dangerous role. He's far too selfish and averse to personal political risk for that. What I CAN more easily imagine is Deep Throat being someone (Rehnquist?) who had his own reasons for stepping forward (possibly even concern about the good of the country, though I doubt it was that simple) but was being fed additional info by someone who was in it for themselves -- and George H W Bush fits in this role so well.

What I am saying is that even if William Rehnquist is named as Deep Throat after he dies, that should not be considered the end of the story. I strongly suspect Poppy Bush was pulling strings and played a major role in the events that finally forced Nixon out of office. Why should we assume that Deep Throat was just a single man, acting entirely without aid and for only his own reasons? It's romantic to think so, especially if we imagine him braving such dangers from pure patriotic motives, but I really think the real story is darker and more complex.

Cui bono? Who would gain from Nixon's removal? I see Poppy Bush as the spider at the center of the Deep Throat web. I imagine he's looking forward to escaping undetected from the flurry of publicity surrounding the outing of that long-held secret identity, laying the suspicions that he might have been involved. I can't see him waiting in garages, but I can see him providing the key info that would get the job done without danger to himself.

I wonder if John Dean thinks Deep Throat acted entirely alone, or whether he also thinks there is more to the story. There might be some clues in the types of info that DT had compared to what whoever is identified as DT would have. Would William Rehnquist really know everything that DT did without being told about it by someone deliberately feeding him the info?
(snip)

256. In the words of Baboo from Seinfeld "Poppy Bush is a very bad man, a

very bad man.(sorry I can't type the accent). It wouldn't surprise me if you were right about him Hope.

You have some great pics.

74. What's an EDV?

Hello, everyone, I'm mostly being rude and listening in on your conversations!

First time floaties;

:loveya: :loveya:

For the group;

[Patsy Stone]

38. Hello, Stephanie!

Hello, ladies and gents.

Sorry, I'm late. I don't think it's Pat Buchanan; I just don't. I'd like to think it's Rehnquist -- just 'cuz.

For KO: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

You look scrumtious tonight, and I know how much you love Watergate. I hope you're get great enjoyment out of all of this. I mean look who you're talking to... John Dean!

Hal Holbrook, funny. What about Linda Lovelace?

[seito]

47. Good to see ya Patsy

Did the aspirin work?

Keef :loveya::loveya::loveya:

Stephanie :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

60. Like a charm

Although the bottle is quite a bit lighter. :)

:hi: and KO: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

50. I like how he seguewayed into the Pope being ill!

LMAO! My mother and I had a good laugh about Throat being the Pope over the weekend (of course, we're nice little Catholic girls.) ;)

[Patsy Stone]

76. Pope = BAD Throat!

Not Deep Throat. :)

Hiya, girl! :hi:

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

[SharonRB]

58. Hi, Patsy

I don't think it's Buchanan either. Nor do I think it's Rehnquist, although I think that would be funny.

[Patsy Stone]

163. Hey, Sharon

Wonder who... I'm sure Keef knows. He seems good with secrets, though.
:)

[bunny planet]

39. Bunny Planet in the house.

Just got home. About to hop upstairs and turn on the teevee. See you during commercials.

[seito]

55. Hi Bunny

:hi:

[bunny planet]

77. Hi Seito

:hi:
I haven't had the chance to read the thread yet and I missed the first 15 minutes. Did I miss the 'deep throat' story? My guess is Renquist. It would really be the crack in the cosmic egg if Deep Throat is dying of throat cancer.

[flyarm]

69. hi bunny & hi seito!!!

Feeling better?

[Patsy Stone]

Hiya, bunny!

Just found your post. :hi:
The man is lookin' FINE!

Love the painting. :)

[bunny planet]

211. floaties for Keef

I love how cute and happy he gets when he has an O'lielly lying story coming up. He just can't keep the little mischievous grin off his face.

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

[johnaries]

41. I'm not a lady, some would argue if I was a "gentleman", but I'm HERE!

Been gone for a while because I'm working later, but I've been catching up on the Steph Miller threads.

BTW, Steph, YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE!!!! I've seen the pictures of the KOEB ladies, and they are HOT!

(floaty hearts for KOEB)

72. Here's the link to the newsletter.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=319864&mesg_id=319986

That way you can find out what happened if the :loveya:s get in the way of the actual point of the thread. :)

:hi:

[Nothing Without Hope]

82. Welcome JA! And thanks for the FH's!

Since you have the good taste and perception to appreciate the KOEB, I have no doubt that you are a gentleman at exactly the right times and NOT a gentleman at exactly the right times!

What more can be asked?

For you, JA: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

(BTW, I don't have cable either, so rely on these threads and the day-later MSNBC transcripts, KO blog, and KO newsletter for my Keef journalism & apparel reports)

[SharonRB]

86. I wasn't around the night everyone posted pictures

Does anyone have the link?

I have a bad one from about three years ago posted on the second gallery page on thankyoupatriot.com. I'm holding flowers which are partially covered up by my message in black letters on a white background.

[seito]

88. Hi johnaries

:loveya: and :yourock:

[Der Blaue Engel]

45. Yay! I didn't miss KOEB time tonight!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I can never decide whether to read along so I can post, or wait until I can see KO on TiVo so I don't get any spoilers, and then post after-the-fact. But it is so much fun to be right in the midst of the action.

:D

[bettyellen]

93. hey, that's so great! how goes it on the west coast?

[Der Blaue Engel]

100. Hi, Betty!

:hi:

I've been in a bit of a depressive slump, but I dragged myself out to see KOEB in action tonight. :)

And it's cooooolllld in SF tonight.

[bettyellen]

203. i saw you ceremony pics, you and the dude... you look so great in red....

it reminded me of a good friend who had an uber goth wedding in new orleans.
you lokked beautiful, and so happy!

[Der Blaue Engel]

223. Awww, thanks!

There's no blushing smiley here, but if there was I'd be using it. :)

We just had our 2nd anniversary, and stayed in the same B&B suite; our annual tradition. :)

[bear425]

49. Hi all! Botany was a category on Jeopardy tonight!

And I think DT is...
George H.W. Bush



edit: :loveya: for Keith!

[bettyellen]

105. anything that keeps him busy so he doesn't have time to stalk

stephanie.
oh, steph, :hi!:

[Botany]

112. She will be mine.

Stephanie :loveya: Miller

Back off you EDVs of the KOEB. You are spooking my future love.

She is still teasing me ....... she only sends her lawyer to the restraining
order hearings ....... Oh, what a sweet lass of love.....
Sent to me be heaven above......
She is as pure and innocent a
snow white dove.
We fit together like a hand and a glove.



Deep Throat & Watergate remind me of how great it used to be to have reporters
that did their jobs.


:bounce:

[Vadem]

136. Oh, Botany! You are such a poet!!! Stephanie is a lucky duck! n/t

[Botany]

158. Oh yea. LOL

Great poetry like that doesn't just happen ......
Chianti and pasta helps.

:bounce:

[Vadem]

177. That's right! Never discount the romance of pasta!!!!!.....n/t

[Patsy Stone]

156. Amen, Botany

And so please that you're moved to write poetry. It's just that kind of thread.

O, Keith Olbermann!
Women and men gather here
nightly to watch you.

Stephanie Miller!
So flattered that you read us --
Botany loves you

:)

[Nothing Without Hope]

274. OMG, Patsy! Another first - KOEB HAIKU! Well, I guess it was

inevitable, with love in the air so to speak, for us to turn to poetry.

So we have Botany's and we have yours. Two different poetic styles already--that's enough for an Eng Lit course!

Botany keeps unveiling new facets of himself. Stephanie just has to be fascinated by him & his elusive air of mystery & other charms.

We need to save those poems for the published collection later on!

:toast:

[Sydnie]

165. Stephanie -- How can you resist that?

He even writes poetry about you!


Hi Botany! Good job!

for KO :loveya:

[noamnety]

238. Botany, that was beautiful

Any decent woman would be honored to be the subject of such sweet words. And I must compliment you on your restraint in not attempting to rhyme anything with "lass".

[Botany]

270. Way to E.Z.

Like ........ afterwards the room smelled like a day old bass.
......... and the snow drifted down .... as we came out from
our Christmas eve mass,
......... Throwing yourself at Keith does not show class
.......... The EDV despite the drinks; Still had a lot of sass.
........... to win your heart my love, at you, I will make this pass. :puke:
........... "When push came to shove in that Asian war, Kerry showed
he balls and some ass."

[crispini]

276. ROFL, Botany!

That's TOO freakin funny.

[golden voyages]

57. So that's it? He's just going to leave us drooling and wanting more?

[WolverineDG]

59. 46 posts by the first break?

now i have to go out & buy a laptop so i can watch the thread & the show at the same time!!!

;)

[Patsy Stone]

62. Me, too

and so far that's light on thepost count. We're missing some of our members. :)

:hi:

[seito]

67. I bought a laptop last summer

...best investment I ever made.

[Patsy Stone]

170. Must get one -- must be wireless.

It would make life sooooo much easier. :)

[WolverineDG]

244. yup

i'll have to become more techno-savvy & spring for wireless for the laptop...no phone line into the room where the tv is. yes, i live in an old house. :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

64. I don't care how long it takes in the ER

I'd rather they take their time and do things right. Maybe it's me.

:)

[Der Blaue Engel]

70. Well, there is that whole dying thing

if they don't get to you in time.

[Patsy Stone]

91. Yeah, but that's triage

Not "I have a cut finger". Agreed, time is always of the essence, but I don't need them hurrying with me and leaving a surgical instrument inside because the buzzer was going off. :)

:hi:

[flyarm]

97. hire the koeb for your

research team..bet they would work for free!!


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

[Clark2008]

78. Well, if I was dying, I might want them to hurry up and come and see me!

LOL!

[Der Blaue Engel]

85. My question is...

...can I get a pizza while I wait? ;)

[sparky_in_ma]

98. Only if you have good health insurance

;)

[sparky_in_ma]

107. Mutual busted!

Chatting with your spouse.:evilfrown:

[bunny planet]

249. That story was so wrong!!! And she fainted, who could blame her.

There's a marriage that has a future...... or maybe not. They obviously dig each other, they are cheating on themselves with each other. I think.

[noamnety]

96. It'd be nice if they at least got you admitted

The last time I went to the ER, my daughter was having an allergic reaction (to a turkish flute that was treated with almond oil 20 years earlier, good freak accident).

We hung out there for hours, with her mouth swelling up, and then finally it started to go down, so we left without ever being seen.

[Patsy Stone]

102. They do suck sometimes

And that's a terrible story. I've only been there twice, and I guess I was lucky both times, because they saw me PDQ.

How YOU doin? :hi:

[bunny planet]

263. I was in an emergency room on New Years Eve in NYC. That was fun.

I was on a gurney in the hallway watching people come in with darts in their heads, I kid you not.

[Patsy Stone]

313. WTF?

An experience not soon forgotten, no doubt. I'll bet some of them didn't know how the darts got there and were incredibly surprised when the doctor made mention of their existence. KO will be doing a follow-up one night and you'll spill your wine because you've recognized someone. :)

In a poetic sort of way (since that seems to be the theme around here) are there really any places more American then an NYC ER on NYE (and other acronyms as well)?

Wow. Such mishegos; are you okay?

[bunny planet]

315. oh fine. It happened in 1989. Had a very bad cough that caused me to tear

a stomach muscle. Now I use an inhaler if I get a bad cough, no more ER for me if I can help it.

Yes, NYC ER on New Year's Eve. I see a movie script there somewhere, maybe Jim Jarmusch directing.

[Patsy Stone]

321. Arrangement in Black and Grey (oops, taken!)

Glad to hear it was long ago and you're A-OK. ERs are never the first choice for one's evening -- but they're always the last place one expects to end up. :)

[bunny planet]

316. btw Pats. I love it when you speak Yiddish. Yiddish is my second language

I was somebody's bubby in a former life, I just know it. My favorite Yiddish word is geshrein (sp.?) followed by spilkes in a close second.

[Patsy Stone]

322. How to choose just a few?

I like shpilkes!

Other faves: nebbish, alter kocker, shmendrik, mishpocha (or, more correctly: the gonzer mishpocha), farbissener, and balebusta. I make a nice chicken soup, too... :)

[bunny planet]

327. don't forget the ever popular

Meshugge! I love putz, potchke around, pupik, shmooz, shnorrer, tuchis, and of course what are you a shmuck?

The light gray suit Keefala, such a piece of dreck!

[Patsy Stone]

329. Shtick Dreck

Feh! :)

Pupik. Always good.

[bunny planet]

330. See you tommorrow schoena bubbala, when we get together with KOEB

Tuesday night. It's a lebidikah velt everynight in this thread. (my yiddish spelling, uh...not so good.

[bunny planet]

332. I forgot zetz. I love that word.

[bunny planet]

331. you should try my knedels, they're to die for, so light and fluffy.

I've been affectionately dubbed 'the shiksa with 100 heads' by my in-laws. So nu?

[SharonRB]

135. Same thing happened to us

when my husband got stung a couple of summers ago. We waited and waited and finally just left.

[Vadem]

143. turkish flute?????? WOW what a story......n/t

[RevCheesehead]

338. Oh, man! That ER is in Green Bay!

I wondered, what doofus city would allow that? Then they show Aurora Bay Care Hospital, and I just about shit!

BTW: Keith included a story about a kid who wears his Brett Favre jersey every day to school.

That's 2, count 'em, TWO stories connected to Green Bay.
Keith, for you: :loveya:

[Miami Liberal]

84. He looks good enough to eat tonight!

Did I just say that out loud?

Hi all! :hi:

109. Yepper. I heard it, too...

Where could one POSSIBLY begin to catch up? :)

[Patsy Stone]

95. Another nail in the neck?

Can't believe this. No one seems to know how hardware finds its way into their body. Where the hell were they?

:crazy:

[noamnety]

Aw, come on

You've never been to a college party? :D

[Patsy Stone]

214. LOL

True, true... Grain alcohol and grape kool-aid can do wonders for suppressing pain. ;)

[Clark2008]

101. How did I know he was going to play the "Pina Colada" song

with that last story?

LMAO!

[Sydnie]

103. Strangest online cheating story EVER or what?

ROFLMAO!!!!!! Too Funny!

[Miami Liberal]

111. Ya just can't make up stuff like that!

Too funny!

[bunny planet]

115. Does he ever wear the same tie twice?

I love a good Tang joke.
Those nail in the head xrays are bizarre. The guy did not know he had a rusted nail in his neck for 'years'. WOW, talk about stupid human tricks.

[Kolesar]

116. Keith's gonna expose Justice Alice Robie Resnick of Ohio & her DUI

She's a Dem :-(

[SharonRB]

124. I had a feeling she would be

[Kolesar]

126. She has had a rough time campaigning

The Pukes used secret funding to launch attack ads against her last time. The list of contributors was just released.

[Vadem]

192. I know! When I read that I said SHIT, she had to be a DEM...why

not Ken Blackwell????? Dammit!

[Miami Liberal]

121. Does Keith's hair look darker

or is all this estrogen blurring my eyes?:crazy:

[fooj]

122. Oops...One too many in Ohio!!!! LMAO!

Resnick registered at more than twice...more than a few glasses of wine!
Too much!

[news_junkie]

149. Sad thing is...

Resnick is a Dem

[fooj]

157. I didn't know she has a problem or I wouldn't have made a ha ha!

[Clark2008]

128. Why do women do this?

I mean, even when I was 20 and in perfect shape, I would have NEVER mud wrestled with another woman in front of a bunch of men.
Seriously, do women not have respect for themselves anymore?

(Not trying to sound prudish. I'm all for sex. I just don't think mud wrestling is very good for one's self esteem.)

[bettyellen]

151. some people will do anything for money attention, or both. hiya clark!!

[Clark2008]

166. I guess...

Now, I didn't say I wouldn't mud wrestle Keith - but I wouldn't want an audience. :)

:hi: bettyellen

P.S. I was a reporter, too. Gave up those weird hours when I had a kid.

[bettyellen]

195. agreed, no audience needed. i wasn't a reporter, i was an exec

assistant. totally unskilled!
i got much handier with a computer after that.. LOL.

[Kolesar]

138. A week of wasted spending in Iraq could fund Amtrak. Only $1 Billion

How ironic is that? Efficient public transportation is our way out of dependence on Middle East oil.

Just don't say, "Food Fight!!!" here in the KOEB. :)

[Clark2008]

168. Hey Patsy... didja know that movie was based on the ATO's at

the University of Tennessee.

If you look closely in the Student Court scene, you will notice that the state flag is a Tennessee flag. :)

LOL... I have been to MANY a party at the ATO House. (But I never mud wrestled!)

:P

[Patsy Stone]

175. Sorry no mud wrestling.

That's where the fun is, so I hear. :)

Is Tennessee part of everything? :)

[Clark2008]

184. Apparently, so. LOL!

We saved Texas (whoops. Sorry 'bout that one!)
We are in Animal House (Yeah!)
Keith likes to mock Tennessee Tuxedo.
Dolly Parton is from here.

If we just wouldn't vote red, we would rock! LMAO! (But we did vote for Clinton, twice).

183. I really hate those guys.

Dean Wormer as the Delta death mobile comes at him.

RIP John Veron

RIP. :toast:

[Botany]

248. John Veron ....

...... was a good actor. Big ups to Keith for giving him the respect and love he had
coming.

But his BEST in Animal House was the look on his face just before they cut up
the horse in his office. Priceless


RIP Dean Wormer. O8)

[Clark2008]

161. OH HOW COOL!

The product I market - Cisco IP phones (and that particular 7960 model) - was just added as a KO advertiser!!

I'll have to call them tomorrow and thank them (and mention that I and thousands of my friends saw it!)

Woo Hoo!

:loveya:

[crispini]

173. Hi, squids! I'm late but I'm here!

I listened to part of the show the way home on the XM audio feed again and it occurs to me to remark that I got like 90% of the show content that I heard through the audio -- but the commercials were TOTALLY not understandable without the video. (Which is kind of funny, because when I'm at HOME, I'm totally WATCHING the show and only LISTENING to the commercials.)

ok, music and audio person, these are ESPECIALLY for you: :loveya:

KO: Nice tie tonight! :loveya:

And may I just say, that supreme court justice is SUCH a lightweight. If you can't drink and drive... don't drink. And drive.

[Patsy Stone]

189. You spin me right 'round baby, right 'round

like a record baby...

Before I started watching tonight, btw, Siouxsie was on the digital music channel. :hi:

And, for KO: :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

220. Hi Patsy!

Now *there's* a nice confluence of events, eh? Siouxsie and KO. Too. Cool! :loveya:

Full of Ethiopian food, yum! How about you?!

208. SQUIDS! Shades of SpongeBob! And check out these 2 threads

Stephanie Miller was talking about the KOEB again today:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x319811

And we got a sweet appreciative post from another DUer, SaveAmerica:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x320143

Both threads are not to be missed!

Welcome to the party, Crispi! Plenty of good KOEB brew and goodies left for you!

224. Did I miss the offensive part of that commercial?

Women aren't allowed to bare their shoulders now?

It reminds me of the old days, when a couple on tv had to have a foot on the floor if they were on a bed. Now a woman has to have a strap on her shoulder so it's not technically bare?

Sparky, would you be a dear and pass me my burqa?

240. Hmmm

We got to see fat guys with their shirts off dancing, I don't think a strap is going to corrupt our youth.

I can't search: I haven't donated yet, because I'm going thru a divorce and my ex stole all my $$$ out of my accounts but still left me with all the CC debt.

Don't worry, I'm not bitter about women, because I know now my ex isn't a woman, she's a DEMON FROM THE BOWEL'S OF HELL!!!!!!

Anyway, I love you all, and I agree with the earlier post today about how therapeutic the KOEB thread is for all of us!

228. 'Night Sharon! And thanks for the headsup about Stephanie

286. Message of Thanks to the KOEB

Guys, just wanted to thank you for the hour of lightheartedness every evening. I haven't slept well since Nov 2 due to inability to fall asleep from thinking about 'everything' and the horrible dreams I've been having - from abu graib prison pictures to our soldiers (I dreamt the other night I was responsible for organizing a soldier's funeral, I had a clipboard in my hand and was standing on a hill in a cemetary when a soldier came running down the hill with an old round charcoal grill, he threw it forwards and ashes flew upwards through the sky. The last thing I heard before I woke up was my voice yelling 'is that my soldier, is that my soldier?'. Fast forward to Tuesday, Tie One on Night, I really enjoyed reading that thread, it was fun to see everyone's excitement and see a connection between freedom fighters and their messenger. That night I dreamt about the beach. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your hour of drooling and floaty hearts and also for occasionally telling us what he says : ). Until someone writes out a transcript of each show, that's all I have.

[noamnety]

287. But we have the transcripts!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3719710/

They go up a day after the show, except Fridays take longer.

[SaveAmerica]

289. Thanks so much for link! I have a lot of catching up to do! n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

288. How funny is this? Now we've been talked about on national radio!!!

Can you believe it? Stephanie Miller actually referred to our group, "The Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade" on her radio show, apparently more than once. Seems she was more interested in matters other than serious Olbermann journalism that are discussed in our threads, but still... Here's the KOEB thread -- and it will make you smile -- from the last time this happened (last Friday morning):
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x316797
Title: "OH MY GOD - KOEB THREAD ON STEPHANIE MILLER!"

For full appreciation, you would have to read some back threads, but it's pretty funny on its own. I hope it cheers you as it did us.

And then there is the KOEB -- well not to END all KOEB threads -- but it's surely monumental. It's over 650 posts now and one of the best. (And our longest by a wide margin.) If you and your computer linkup can take it, here it is, our thread from last Friday:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x317483

I actually believe that finding things to laugh about in these sad, scary times is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Here's the Mark Twain quote I've been citing a lot recently:
"Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense."

Snark is good in its own right, but it is also a direct aid in getting the truth out and facing it. We have to help keep each other's spirits up, because to give in to chic cynicism or despair would cost too damn much in every way.

Thank you for your post. Don't be surprised if you see it discussed on tonight's KOEB thread. You are helping US keep OUR spirits up, too. For which I think you on behalf of the KOEB.

You're welcome to join in on our threads at any time, you know, whatever your level of estrogen. Some people do drive-by posts, just to keep their fingers in!

If you've read our threads recently, especially the Tie One On thread, then you're familiar with our official toast:
TO THE TIES THAT BIND!!!
:toast:

And for you, SaveAmerica,
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[SaveAmerica]

290. Wow, I'm verklempt!

Thanks for the floaties! And also for the message. After I had the beach dream I realized I should take more time out to do things that don't involve political books and webpages since I don't have cable anymore. I watched "Chicago" and after the scene with the reporters I said to myself 'they were just Roved'! And then there's the dummy scene, and the one song the lawyer (R.Gere) sang on the steps that had Bush administration all over it. Hopefully it will be sooner than later that freedom to enjoy things will come back!

[Nothing Without Hope]

291. "Verklempt"!!! Yeah, you're a KOEB reader all right!

"Feh" is another fave, but Patsy is the only one that pronounces it just right!

I think your plans to find some balance and more chances to find things to enjoy are very wise. You can't let your concern and compassion become burdens to you instead of the blessings they are -- you have to keep your spirits up. There is much beauty and goodness in the world and in people. I recommend taking walks in nature and doing some silly things just because you enjoy them. Refresh yourself with laughter and warm peace and good company. Then you can return to the firing lines with new strength.

I firmly believe that hope is something that has to be worked at, like a healthy body and disciplined mind. It is easily damaged, and then your boat may still have its rudder, but where it its sail?

Also, feeling hope is extremely practical as part of what can spread the truth and convince people. Many people in this country are scared and close to despair about the future, not only of this country but of humanity itself. Speaking with someone who still dares to dream, has practical plans to work toward those dreamed-of goals, and can smile from the heart can make an enormous impact. Here's another quote for you:

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. –Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, and musician (1875-1965)

So you can see why I chose my username.

In closing, here's one of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein; it has a distinctively Buddhist flavor, I think:

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

Be well, SaveAmerica.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x319811

Again today she mentioned us!

[Nothing Without Hope]

303. Wow! That's news to me! Of course, we inducted her into the KOEB

...so it's only proper that she read the threads. Maybe she posts with us sometimes and we don't even know it!

Now I'm going to have to go see what she talked about this time. Something tells me it probably still isn't about our serious political interests! :eyes:

It's a good thing we're unspoiled by fame!
;)

[SharonRB]

302. Stephanie talked about us again today

[bikeboy]

292. Humor is a critical element in building communities, and the mixture

of all kinds of humor with some very incisive discussions of serious matters is proof of the power here.

Through this humor and companionship, we've created networks for very serious action that would not have come in to being otherwise.

And the effect on morale has been a critical element to the burgeoning of this community, IMO.

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

326. Greetings.

A hearty and belated welcome to you and all of your computers. :)

It's taken forever to read this thread. Still not sure I've made it through it even once.

[Nothing Without Hope]

298. I agree with all my heart, Bleever!

We will need to figure out how to make the KOEB accessible to more people without slowing the thread so much.

And of course, there also need to be lots more of these communities. I do most seriously feel that we are witnessing the beginnings of true internet-based progressive activist communities, and these are our best hope against the fascist blivet** administration and the co-opted corporate media (except Keef!). I see these DU communities as a prototype of a vital new socio-political development, something radically new on multiple levels.

We need to keep alert to threats to this internet freedom from the forces that are beginning to see it as a threat to their dominance. I have no doubt that they will try to suppress it.

[babylonsister]

299. How about breaking the thread up into parts

like has been done for Gonzales/Condi hearings? Maybe start another after 100-150 or so. That might improve the speed. I pretty much lurk near the KOEB threads, but they are entertaining!

[Nothing Without Hope]

301. Here are Skinner's suggestions on how to speed up thread loading

Here is what he told me when I asked about it:

A couple suggestions.

You should go into your preferences and change a few things. Two functions that are particularly helpful are the following:
- Set "Display signatures?" to "no"
- Set "Hide avatars and other images?" to "yes"
That will get rid of a lot of the graphical embellishments.
You can also view forums in collapsed threads mode. There is a link in the top left corner of any forum that says Expand Threads or Collapse Threads.
High numbers of posts are the thing that slows down a thread the most. You can get around this a little by viewing in single-post mode, but it is not a perfect solution. Unfortunately, we haven't come up with a good solution to this problem.

I can tell you that the number of posts is the biggest slow-down agent, though doing as Skinner suggests with the Preferences settings does help significantly. We can cut the threads into two parts and we can also consider reducing the number of posts with just 2 or 3 words in them. We'll work out something together that will maintain spontaneaity and openness to people dropping by to post with us or join us.

[SharonRB]

304. I took Skinner's advice

It helped a little, but still is pretty slow.

[bleever]

310. Thanks, Hope. You exemplify the power of mixing EDV and IQ.

There are definitely new things evolving here. We're on the forefront of new developments in political ecology.

And having a good time of it, as well.

:hi:

[Nothing Without Hope]

317. Wow -- now THAT's a COMPLIMENT! Thanks, Bleev!

I'll have to save that one - "exemplify the power of mixing EDV and IQ." That's something to try to live up to! I note that one of the smilies in the "hug" emoticon is blushing; that would be me:
:hug:

I do believe that the DU community is a prototype of what HAS to happen if we are to turn this country around. With the corporate media carrying Big Brother's propaganda -- and the blivet** really IS somebody's Big Brother, oddly enough -- we have no option but to end-run them and get the information and organizing news out IN SPITE OF them. This is an issue that URGENTLY NEEDS BRAINSTORMING to come up with practical ways to reach out to the people of this country, including those that don't get their news from the internet.

Internet-based political activism is a totally new thing, something that Germany didn't have as it slid into fascism under Hitler, and is one of our greatest sources of hope. That's why it has to be protected from the inevitable attacks aimed at suppressing dissent and all sources of non-propaganda news. And also why we at DU as a community need to come up with more ways to take advantage of this vital communication network.

Sorry, I start getting preachy sometimes this time of night. I do feel strongly about this and I think you do too.

The "having a good time" part is important too!

:toast: To the ties that bind!

[WhirlyGirl]

319. SaveAmerica, it looks like you've not only been officially welcomed...

... but ABSORBED into the KOEB Community!
I could so relate to the things you said, by the way: Ever since the U.S. invaded Iraq, it seemed as though the ground hadn't stopped moving. Many people said "everything changed on 9/11," but it didn't for me until the invasion, which totally changed our relationship to the rest of the world.
Since then, I'd hardly slept and couldn't get organized, things didn't seem quite real. Then I discovered KO's Countdown, which was not only funny but felt real and true. And I found there were others who had grabbed onto that lifeline also -- the most joyous being the
KOEB! :-) I've read whole threads to my husband, or sometimes he reads over my shoulder and we laugh ourselves silly!
TIE NIGHT was absolutely the BEST; I was up all night reading and laughing and was so happy that all the care these people had put into choosing the tie had paid off when KO actually wore it on the air! It was a memorable moment, so much so that even those who weren't in on the project couldn't help getting caught up in the celebration. (That was the first night I ever posted on a DU board, and was welcomed by Sparky -- who'd stayed after the party to sweep up the floaty hearts! Thanks, Sparky, and everyone in the KOEB for making me feel at home.)
You've landed in a good place here, SaveAmerica!
