KOEB Meeting 07/01/08 Not Apologizing Edition

[Berry Cool]

:hi: Because Katie Couric's newscast just won one...how it ever deserved to, I do not know.

Oh, and Happy Canada Day, eh!

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Berry

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Hi!

Sorry, I got sucked into my boss' insanity this afternoon and I missed your message. :crazy:

[Berry Cool]

5. Hi Sha-Sha and Pats!

:hi: Uh-oh, Keith's wearing one of my favorite combos again, but if he comes out against Obama's revision of the faith-based initiatives concept, I won't be happy with him. I believe in separation of church and state too, but with the proper controls, I would have no problem with it.

[SharonRB]

6. No problem

I figured you got busy. We cut our call short. We were supposed to be doing brainstorming and doing a net meeting where we could share a whiteboard, etc., but no one really knew how to do it and it became a waste of time.

[SharonRB]

3. Me likey his outfit tonght

Love the orange tie!

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hello, all!

How's everyone doing? :hi:

[SharonRB]

7. It may just be the three of us tonight

Lots of people were going to be gone.

[Berry Cool]

8. Doing OK

and me always likey this outfit. :loveya:

[ralps]

9. Hi BerryBush, Hi Everyone! Katie Couric won an award????? WTF!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wtf:

[Berry Cool]

11. The CBS Evening News won a Murrow Award.

Can you believe it? It's a lucky thing Murrow was cremated or he'd be spinning in his grave.

[Patsy Stone]

17. For being the least Murrow-like newscast?

What were the criteria? Jeez. At this rate I could have won a Murrow Award.

[ralps]

22. Wow!!! For what? Katie's insightful reporting?? <sarcasm

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :wtf: :sarcasm:

[Berry Cool]

26. They know nothing. Katie doesn't even have a kitty.

:hi: So how are you tonight, ralps?

[ralps]

30. I'm doing good, How are you?

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

37. Doin' OK. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

And the light shines all over the place on January 20, 2009.

[GigiMommy]

21. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: I LOVE Super strong Kitty!!! :loveya:

[ralps]

23. Hi GigiMommy! Thanks!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

27. Hi GGM!

:hi: Is Cassie with us or playing tonight?

[GigiMommy]

34. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: She's playing tonight but she says "HI". :bounce:

[SharonRB]

10. I have no problem with this the way he defined it

Too many people around here had their panties in a knot earlier today before his actual plan was discussed.

[Patsy Stone]

14. And I never thought he was the liberalist liberal ever.

So the fact that he's showing some centrist tendencies don't surprise me or make me think less of him. To be honest, I'm not the liberalist liberal either.

[SharonRB]

16. Same here

[Berry Cool]

24. Same here. I am not the liberaliest liberal, and I wouldn't really like it if he was.

So I really don't have all the huuuuge problems with Obama that some people are having cows over now.

And I got news for all of them moaning and groaning that they couldn't have Dennis Kucinich instead. Dennis would have pissed them off, too.

[Berry Cool]

15. Yeah, it brought all the knee-jerk atheist religion-haters out of the woodwork.

Or should I say the "Christian haters." They don't really seem to hate other religions nearly as much. But they like to paint all Christians as fundie idiots. :shrug:

[GigiMommy]

12. Hello Everyone!

:hi: And Happy Canada Day!!!

(My FAV Canadien from my teen years) :loveya:

[SharonRB]

19. Hi, Gigi

:hi: Is Cassie with you tonight?

[GigiMommy]

25. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: Cassie's playing at a friend's house (She's so popular) but she wanted me to tell everyone "HI!":bounce:

[Berry Cool]

28. Now THAT is a seventies outfit and seventies hair!

:rofl: "The Beatles?" "A small vise-like object?"

[bleever]

35. Who is Alex Trebeck?

Back when everyone looked like a Peter Max drawing.

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

46. TV Sex Symbols for $200 Alex...

This Star was part of an ensemble cast in a Hospital drama before moving on the Motion Picture "Glory".

[bleever]

51. Who is Denzel Washington?

(I admit it, I googled.)

[GigiMommy]

56. DING DING DING...

Oops! They don't have bells on Jeopardy. :applause:

[Patsy Stone]

41. High Rollers

with Ruta Lee:



:hi:, GGM!

[GigiMommy]

49. Hi Patsy!!!

:hi: LOVED THAT SHOW! COULDN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER VACATION TO WATCH IT.

[Patsy Stone]

57. Check your PM

:)

[GigiMommy]

70. Thanks...

:rofl:

[bleever]

62. Check out those gams!

That's one classy lady.

[Patsy Stone]

66. Elegant

Swellegant, even.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

13. Just found out today that Pelosi is going to be at Netroots

She's giving a keynote Saturday morning and taking question. That's going to be one tough crowd for her and well worth the price of admission.

[Berry Cool]

29. Bring the tar and feathers!

[GigiMommy]

31. Wish I was going...

Sorry I couldn't make it Saturday. I would have to have brought Cassie with me. She would have been bored. It's tough being "single" Mommy sometimes.

[SharonRB]

36. There wasn't a great turnout

There was so much going on Saturday! There will be other fundraisers for Sheila. I'm sure there will be other opportunities to meet her.

[bleever]

18. Does someone deserve an apology?

Maybe kitty, but not McSame.

[SharonRB]

20. Ouch!

:rofl: Poor kitty.

[Berry Cool]

32. I'm assuming the cat survived this abuse

given how amazingly flexible their bodies are.

[Berry Cool]

33. As an Ohioan, I would like to testify that Clark's comment on McCain

did not keep me awake last night. :rofl:

Thanks, Barack.

[GigiMommy]

38. OH MY!!!!

:wow: Hi Bleever!!! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

39. I should say hi to him too.

:hi: bleev--even though you subject us to pictures of cat abuse. :-)

Really, this is all pretty funny. It's almost scary what a bind the Repugs are in. Can things possibly be going this well? Please tell me we can't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time.

Right now I feel like I did at the Indians' first playoff game against the Yankees last year. We were TOO far ahead too soon. It was like the fourth inning and the boys were running away with it. The other five innings couldn't be over fast enough for me.

[Berry Cool]

42. LOL, it's "Animal"'s birthday.

I used to say in journalism school that I started out the week attending class looking like Billie Newman, but wound up looking like Animal by Friday.

[Patsy Stone]

44. For you:

[Berry Cool]

52. Yeah, that was me.

The hair too. Only not on the chin. At least not back then. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

40. Whoa

Didn't I read that whole "Alice Through the Looking Glass" thing on DU earlier today? He really DOES read us!

[Berry Cool]

43. The Bush Administration turns day into night and night into day.

Kinda like Las Vegas.

[Berry Cool]

45. And of course, in WHICH state did the guy attack his mother with a sausage?!?

You KNOW it...wait for it...FLORIDA!!!!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

50. Thank you!

We'll be here all week!

[Patsy Stone]

48. If he did

He'd sit on his jacket. :)

[SeattleGirl]

47. Hi Berry! Howdy everyone!

:YAWN:

OMG, but I'm tired! :boring:

[SharonRB]

53. How was your first day at your new job?

[SeattleGirl]

59. Sort of boring, which I expected.

Lots of paperwork to fill out, stuff like that.

But I did get to go to a great Italian restaurant for lunch, AND I had cheesecake for dessert!

Got a few more days like that while I wait for my badge. Right now, I can't go into the plant until I get it.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

54. Hi SG!

:hi: First week on the new job? At least it's a short one, no?

LOL, Keith thinks McCain should make the Esso Tiger his VP. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

60. Hi Berry!

Yep, short week. Three days on, then three off! :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

55. SG!!!!!

:hi: HEY! How are ya!?!

[Berry Cool]

58. Keith's being complimentary toward Madge tonight.

Saying her name's been linked to a pro athlete for four consecutive decades. Huh?!? Was she dating pro athletes as a teenager?

[Patsy Stone]

64. The Murdoch Street Journal

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

63. Hi Gigi!

And hi Cassie!

I'm good, but man, am I tired! My work load at the job I just left was so low I didn't even have 8 hours of work in a week; now I'm back to 8 hours a day. Gonna take me a few days to get used to that again.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

61. Hey, Working Girl!

:toast:

Here:

[SeattleGirl]

65. Aaaaaaah! Just what I needed!

Thanks, darlin'!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

74. You totally deserve it.

Go; put your feet up. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

67. Keith's favorite new phrase during WPITW:

"Sadly, no!"

Am I just imagining it, or didn't another woman die horribly and unattended in a hospital emergency room (the waiting room) within the past year? There was outrage about that too. As well there should be.

[SharonRB]

69. Yes, there was another instance not too long ago.

[ralps]

68. Today's worst person in the world is BMW Direct for helping a candidate raise

1.7 million & charging itself 1.5 million!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

71. Does Madonna really think

there's nothing like a good Yankee?

[Berry Cool]

72. And either these tabloid media are very confused

or Angelina Jolie has turned into a clown car.

[Berry Cool]

73. Wow. Here we were, thinking it was the restless leg syndrome keeping Keith up at night

and it was really wondering whatever happened to the cast of Growing Pains.

That's great.

[Patsy Stone]

75. Not as ill-fated a show as Diff'rent Strokes

But Kirk Cameron became a huge Fundie, and he's on the Jesus channel all the time.

[Berry Cool]

76. Which in some ways is a fate worse than death.

No wonder Keith can't sleep.
