KOEB Meeting: 08/05/08 -- Go Inflate Your Tires Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, all! :loveya:, Wolvie!

[bunny planet]

1. Hola Patsela sweetie dahling. Greetings all.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi bunny!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Herrow, bunny!

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

30. Thumper!

How ya been, doll? :hug: :hi:

[bunny planet]

50. Very well thanks Rev, how about you?

[RevCheesehead]

52. I'm having a very lazy day.

I decided since summer is disappearing, I needed to celebrate it by doing nothing today at all except shower and eat. :)

[bunny planet]

57. I finished up most of my work over the weekend and took the afternoon

off to read a thriller. It was delicious, I read it on the porch and it had twists and turns for days, so lazy days are wonderful.

[RevCheesehead]

59. That sounds wonderful!

I'm currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Thank God "Phoenix" has nothing to do with a certain disengenuous Senator from Arizona.

[SharonRB]

60. Did you happen to watch "Mad Men" last night?

Montclair was featured. One of the guys from the agency had a party -- turns out he's quite the Bohemian when not at work and he's in an inter-racial relationship. Quite the thing in 1962!

[Patsy Stone]

64. TiVo'd and waiting.

Love that show.

[SharonRB]

67. Oops -- sorry!

I hope I didn't say too much. I laughed when he described Montclair as having lots of artists, etc.

[Patsy Stone]

71. :)

It's quite alright.

Do you happen to watch Burn Notice?

[SharonRB]

84. Never hoid of it.

[Patsy Stone]

118. It's slick and sassy, and it's filmed here.

http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/

A spy show. Kinda like MacGuyver meets The Equalizer. It's fun.

[SharonRB]

122. When is it on?

[Patsy Stone]

124. Thursdays at 10

but you can watch full episodes at the site.

[bunny planet]

69. I know I'm such a drip, but the only teevee I ever watch is Countdown, the Daily

Show, Project Runway and HBO. I do watch 'Weeds' on demand and watch other series when they come out on DVD or Applemovies and teevee rental. So, I've heard about Mad Men, but never watched it. Montclair however, is the bi-racial relationship and family capital of the country or something like that. Not sure what it was like here in 1962 however.

[SharonRB]

74. Well, apparently it was already the home of many artists

You should catch a rerun on AMC or OnDemand sometime this week.

[bunny planet]

79. Yes, tons of artists here for a long time.

I'm just starting to realize that there are so many great shows to watch on demand and so I don't even need to get the teevo.

[Berry Cool]

73. I love "Mad Men."

Tiny bit of trivia about last night's episode: the plane crash in which Campbell lost his father also claimed the life of Linda McCartney's mother. She was born a Lindner, an heiress to the old Sterling Lindner Davis department store fortune.

More than a few high-net-worth people perished in that crash.

[SharonRB]

81. Interesting, SG

I can't remember that particular crash. I do, however, vividly remember the mid-air crash between an American and a United plane a few years earlier. I know I was very, very young and it scared the heck out of me. It's probably why to this day I get very nervous when I fly.

I was 13 in 1962, so I was probably 9 or 10-ish when the mid-air crash occurred.

[Berry Cool]

90. That was me, not SG

but hey, it's a lively group in here tonight...

Another piece of trivia: Lee Eastman, Linda's father, was born an Epstein. What a coinkidink.

[SharonRB]

94. Oops -- Sorry, Berry n/t

[Berry Cool]

96. Yeah, and his girlfriend reminded me of Michelle Obama.

Similar hair and dress!

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy! Howdy all!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

9. Hiya SG!!!

:hi:

McCain is such a tool, I can only conclude that the GOP want him to lose so they can leave Obama holding the bag of shite * has left behind.

[Patsy Stone]

10. Evenin', SG!

:toast:

[ralps]

4. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Go Get 'em Barack!! & Yay for Brett!

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

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hey ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

18. Hi SeattleGirl!! How are you doing?!

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

[Patsy Stone]

6. And Booooooo for Ari.

:hi:, ralps and Crook!

[Berry Cool]

7. Hi Pats, Bun-Bun, SG and ralps!

:hi: Where's the Rev?? And how'd Wolfie end up in the hospital?

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi Berry!

Don't know what's going on with Wolfie. Hope she will be okay.

[Berry Cool]

12. I TOLD the Rev things were going to work out with Brett Favre!

Now I want to gloat. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

17. Maybe I need to call the Rev tonight.

Poor Wolfie.

[RevCheesehead]

21. Does that mean I might get to keep playing, too?

The fans (church people) want me, but management wants me to be retired (or so I'm guessing). :shrug:

[Berry Cool]

32. Depends.

Is Ari Fleischer involved?

[RevCheesehead]

39. If he is, then I'm retiring for sure.

Because a church can't have a devil advising them.

[Berry Cool]

105. That could make things difficult.

[ralps]

20. Hi BerryBush!

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

[RevCheesehead]

34. Hey ralps - can we get rid of Ted Thompson now?

Please??? :banghead:

:hi: to you and Crook!

[ralps]

49. Hi RevCheesehead, Who knows & I posted a Hi RevCheesehead comment down thread

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

[RevCheesehead]

13. I've been waiting for a chance to use this smiley:

:puffpiece:

:hi: Hi, everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

15. LOL, Rev!

That's perfect!

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

27. Hi, SG!

Is DU chugging along, or is it just me? :cry:
It might be Charter - they've been screwed up all afternoon.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

25. Perfect, Rev!

:hi: Now if we could just pump up McSame till he explodes!

[RevCheesehead]

42. That's beyond my capabilities.

Besides, I think he's busy imploding. Physics, ya know. :evilgrin:

[ralps]

26. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! Crook says

Hi & Is that a Penis pump??? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

29. Oh, my...

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

43. ....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bunny planet]

14. Yes, hello Wolvie, get well soon.

[SharonRB]

16. Hi, everyone!

How's everyone doing tonight?

[SeattleGirl]

19. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, SG

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Relatively okay

At least not in the hospital. :hi:

[SharonRB]

31. That's good

What's up with Wolvie being in the hospital, though? I hope she's okay.

[Patsy Stone]

35. First I've heard of it was Rev's thread.

Not a clue, but I hope it's not too bad.

[SharonRB]

40. Me, too.

I'll call her after the show.

[RevCheesehead]

51. I know she'd love to talk to you.

She doesn't have her lappy-toppy with her, but she IS watching the show, since the hospital does have MSNBC.

Nice to see ya! :hi:

(Hey Berry - add her hospital to your list of good places to stay, OK?)

[Berry Cool]

108. Let me know which hospital it is and I will.

I wouldn't get anything done in any other kind of hospital! :rofl: I'm glad she's able to spend time with Keith in bed!

[RevCheesehead]

110. I'll pm you her cell number.

At least she has some contact the outside world.

[RevCheesehead]

47. (whispering)

I'll be glad to PM you all - but this place has too many eyes. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

28. OK, Sha-Sha.

Any day above ground is a good day.

[bunny planet]

24. What Alter means is that the Repubs are better at dumbing down their message

than Obama is.

[Patsy Stone]

33. Yep

and repeating it in endless lockstep as a tragic chorus.

[bunny planet]

46. It really makes me nuts.

I'm constantly wondering how anybody can believe this drivel, but then I hear the same bs parroted back to me from my conservative relatives. The need to drill for gas myth off in my beloved Gulf of Mexico and the sudden appearance and 'suicide' of the anthrax guy are two of the most obviously full of holes stories being passed around. How can people not dig deeper and be extremely sceptical, the information is there if you just scratch the surface.

[Berry Cool]

36. They have to. Consider their average voter.

"Smear Gap"...haha.

[SharonRB]

37. I think his weakness is with the

alta cockers. (For those who don't know Yiddish, that would be the old folks.)

[Berry Cool]

44. Phew. Thanks for explaining that one, Sha-Sha.

That was one my mom might not have learned...and it's subject to misinterpretation. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

63. I would translate that...

as "Old Dick."

[SharonRB]

70. That'll work in McSame's case

[RevCheesehead]

75. In which case, this - once again - would come in handy:

:puffpiece:

[bunny planet]

53. Yup, my mom is worried OB will raise taxes on her stock dividends.

Never mind that under Bush (and McSame) her stock has tanked.

[bleever]

38. Get well, Wolvie!

:loveya:

[ralps]

41. Here's the nightly LOL Kitty Photos

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

[SeattleGirl]

45. LOL!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

55. Those are good lolcats.

:rofl:

I'm glad Keith is staying on the anthrax killer story. I think there is way more to that one than meets the eye and the way some parties are attempting to make it look all wrapped up is very hinky.

[GigiMommy]

48. Hi Everybody!!! Doing another Drive-By!

:hi: :bounce: Cassie's friends are stopping by for get well and early happy birthday wishes.

[SeattleGirl]

54. Hi Gigi!

And happy birthday again to Cassie!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SharonRB]

56. Hi, Gigi

Wish Cassie an early happy birthday. I won't be here tomorrow night -- post-primary party at Brenda Lawrence's headquarters.

[ralps]

65. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!! I hope Cassie has a great birthday!

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

[RevCheesehead]

66. Happee Birthday, Cassie!

(spelled like Hagrid, of course)

:party: :bounce::bounce::bounce: :party:

[Patsy Stone]

68. One more day right?

And starting early! :bounce::party:

Happy Birthday, Cassie!!

[bunny planet]

109. Happy Birthday Cassie!!

[Berry Cool]

111. Sorry to be late saying hi, GGM

:hi: to you and Cassie. And an early happy birthday to her! :party:

[bleever]

58. No shadow of a doubt

is not the best way to deny racism.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

62. Oops.

Well, anyway, looks like Stephen Price is guilty of Reporting While Black.

[Patsy Stone]

76. "And then some men in brown suits came out..."

Oy, oy, oy.

[RevCheesehead]

72. d'oh!

Right you are, Mr. Bleever!
:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

61. Holy cow!!!!

What this reporter went through at the McSame event......

John, you SUCK!!!

[Berry Cool]

77. I knew it. Keith is a Lizzie Borden buff.

LOL, I didn't catch The Soup this past weekend! I'm so glad Keith is rerunning this!

[Patsy Stone]

80. "And now, a Special Comment."

Ooh, here's the Milbank bit.

[RevCheesehead]

86. I missed it - what did Dana do?

I've gotta stop reading the thread while the show is on. :P

[Patsy Stone]

89. KO Diary at dKos about it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x126667

He only used half a quote.

[RevCheesehead]

95. That seems reasonable....

...since Dana usually just uses half a brain.
As my Dad used to say, "Don't go away mad, now - just go away." :)

[Berry Cool]

88. Damn, Keith beat me to the obvious joke!

"I've heard of "I've gotta see a man about a horse,' but this is ridiculous!!" :rofl:

[bleever]

112. Elizabeth Montgomery

made a good movie about Lizzie Borden.

[SeattleGirl]

113. Yes, she did.

She was great as Lizzie.

[Berry Cool]

141. I have always had an inkling

that part of the reason Keith took such a shine to Liz when he met her is because she played Lizzie in a TV movie.

That, and who knows how many prepubescent male fantasies were fed by Samantha Stephens? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

78. "And now a special comment: Your turn, bub!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SharonRB]

82. So, Dana won't be back on Countdown, huh?

Don't let the door hit ya...

[Patsy Stone]

85. New KO diary about it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=315x126667

[SharonRB]

91. Thanks

I saw the thread at your link, but hadn't gone to read the link there yet.

[bunny planet]

83. Woohoo, KO goes after Dana and reveals he won't be on with his smarmy self

anymore. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Yeah Keef!!!!!!!!!

[ralps]

87. LOL Officers Klink & Schultz & The Horse story!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

98. I wonder if Keith is a Hogan's Heroes fan.

If so, there's even more reason to :loveya: him!

[SharonRB]

92. Oh, yes!

Here comes the anthrax story. Way to go, KO.

[RevCheesehead]

100. along with the gratuitous KOOS....

But this guy's outfit is disturbing my chi.

[Patsy Stone]

131. There was way too much happening in that outfit.

It was like three or four outfits in one.

[RevCheesehead]

134. Twice as good as Certs?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

137. LOL

Almost. But Certs has Xylitol. :)

[bunny planet]

93. I knew Lil'Dana Milbank would never fess up that he was an insufferably

smug little shite. Now we don't have to endure his condescending, and very shoddy reporting anymore, at least not on Countdown. Good luck Dana indeed.

[Berry Cool]

97. Won't miss him, sadly.

But thanks, Gerald Posner, for giving us KOOS. However, what's with the stripes and graph-paper checks in a hundred directions???? MY EYES!!!!

[bunny planet]

101. Gerald Posner is hopping mad about this anthrax fishy story, all tied up with

a bow.

[RevCheesehead]

102. He's got great facial/bone structure.

He should be considered for the next Batman.

[bunny planet]

99. If Ivin's therapist thought he was a psychopath, did he or she know he was

working for the government with its biological weapons department? Wowie wow wow, I think they're going to be sorry they brought this story up again and tried to 'tie up the loose ends'. Now, the story that * demanded Muller link it to Al Qaeda.

[SeattleGirl]

103. Wow, that counselor (NOT therapist!!!) sure has a lot of baggage!

[RevCheesehead]

106. Just the latest tool in the repuke woodshed.

She'll be thrown under the bus if this story gets legs.

[Berry Cool]

115. Sounds like the counselor needs a therapist.

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

104. It raises questions for all thinking people, but unfortunately, most of our press

don't seem to want to think all that much. This story about Ivins stinks, it just doesn't hold water at all.

[SeattleGirl]

107. Exacrly, bunny

When I first heard about this man's suicide, my antennae went up big time.

[bunny planet]

114. I wonder if part of Steven Hatfield's lawsuit success involves a gag order on him

not to tell what he knows about the government's lying about this thing.

[bunny planet]

140. meant Hatfill of course

[Patsy Stone]

The suicide didn't get me as much as the

"and that's it. It's all over. Move along." bit. :mad:

[SeattleGirl]

136. Exactly!

:grr:

[Patsy Stone]

138. There is a special place in hell

for the BFEE.

[ralps]

116. Today's worst person in the world is Sean Hannity & Rush Limpballs! For dissing

Obama idea of having a car tune up & properly inflating your tires!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

119. And the number-one story is...

"BRETT FAVRE...oooooohhhhhh..." :rofl:

Do we finally have our proof of how much Keith loves the Rev or what?!?!?!?!?!?

[Berry Cool]

123. OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Bun-Bun's head is exploding!!!!!!

I's Jim Vanderhei-di-heidi-ho!!!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

135. Or -

It proves what a sports geek Keith really is. :P

[RevCheesehead]

117. Brett!!!

Shout-out to me!!!! :bounce::bounce: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

121. Oh, and the coach is giving a press conference at 8:15.

So, I won't be anwering the phone, Keith. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

127. Oh well, I guess I won't be calling the Rev tonight.

Maybe tomorrow?? :rofl:

After all, she has her priorities.

[RevCheesehead]

133. Keith missed his chance to say "Cheesehead".

i think he couldn't trust himself. :rofl:

[bleever]

120. Crying?!? There's no crying in football!!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

126. ....

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

128. Blubbering

may be allowed under certain very special circumstances. But that was his last chance to blubber, right there.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

130. Could've fooled me.

That was some first-class sniveling there. If he were apologizing, he'd be in the Countdown Apology Hall of Fame.

[Berry Cool]

132. Oh boy, now I have to figure out what Keith was muttering at the end of the show

when he pitched his paper wad!

(The best I can make it out: "I'm doin' a (unintelligible)--Jesus!" (gibbering noise))

[bleever]

139. I think he was muttering about

the horrible image of him having to join Fox and be Billo's sidekick.

[RevCheesehead]

125. The real reason they brought Brett back:

Ticket sales were WAY down this year - especially pre-season games.
Oh, and the Vikings thing, too.

[Patsy Stone]

129. Keith: "THE Aaron Rogers?"

:rofl:
