KOEB 9/15/08 - The Economic Ostrich edition!

[RevCheesehead]

"pssst... Keith... we're gonna win this thing!"

[Patsy Stone]

1. McCain just doesn't comfort me, for some reason.

:hi:

[Mabus]

5. Why do you think Cindy's on drugs?

:evilgrin:


:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

10. Does she share?

:hi:

[Mabus]

17. You don't want the stuff she takes

You'd be better off getting something from the kids at the local high school.

[bunny planet]

19. So true, she's got the good shit.

[Mabus]

35. Come to think of it. She steals. She doesn't share.

;)

[RevCheesehead]

26. Can I interest you in a snack?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

58. I'll take the hummus

but I can't eat it looking at that. Although, ripping his face apart might be fun.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

95. Oh, thus the earlier hummus head reference from Berry.

I had no idea. This looks like Nixon, what a surprise.

[RevCheesehead]

123. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck,...

squeals like a pig, and smells like a rose, it must be McGramps.

[bunny planet]

129. plus if its wearing lipstick.....

oh never mind.

[bunny planet]

2. I wish it was funny

maybe it was so funny, I forgot to laugh.
Unfortunately, I don't think so.

Everyplace I put my money gets bought by Bank of America. At this point, Bank of America owns me.

[WolverineDG]

6. No kidding

they now own my mortgage & I'm not happy about that.... :grr:

dg

[bunny planet]

13. They own my morgage, my home insurance, bought out my credit card company

and now they own Merrill Lynch, where we still have an account from when Mr. Bunny used to work there a loooooong time ago.
What a mess.
Very scary.

The only thing I care about right now however is getting my little darling Dusty Springfield (cat) to get better. She is very sick.

[WolverineDG]

21. aw bunny

:hug: for dusty! Hope she feels better soon!

dg

[Berry Cool]

45. Same here.

Poor little Dusty...may she be back up and purring.

[RevCheesehead]

36. prayers for Dusty!

May she be purring with content very soon!! :hug:

[bunny planet]

46. Here's my little darlin now.

She was feeling a lot better in this pic.

:cry:

[RevCheesehead]

51. OMG! She is GORGEOUS!!

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

60. I know.

I am completely blindsided by her illness. Thank you for all your prayers.

[Berry Cool]

52. She's lovely!

And McCain is a hummus-head!

[bunny planet]

67. Hey, no insulting hummus.

He's not even in any of the five food groups.

[Berry Cool]

125. Well, I'd rather have hummus, I'll admit.

[RevCheesehead]

144. McHummus.

Ewww... I think I just threw up a little bit.

[Patsy Stone]

62. Beautiful kitty

All my love and best wishes for a speedy recovery. :hug:

[bunny planet]

69. Thank you Patsy.

I wish I didn't have to leave on Friday, I hate to go away from her right now, but maybe we'll get good news tomorrow.

[Patsy Stone]

158. I know exactly how that feels.

:hug: :loveya:

[GigiMommy]

68. Hugs for Dusty!!!

:hug:

[bunny planet]

74. Thanks GigiMommy

I really appreciate it.
The only thing it is doing is getting my mind temporarily off of McCain / Palin's campaign.

[SharonRB]

96. Is she giving someone the evil eye?

Sure looks like it.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

105. She's a princess, always looking a bit like she'd use the royal we, if she could talk.

[RevCheesehead]

32. Hi bunny

I know. Today, I paid off my credit card, just because. :(

:hi:

[bunny planet]

41. I'm trying to do that too.

But my kitty's ongoing vet bills might have another idea of how to reek havoc with my budget. Tomorrow she is having a nose scope.
I'm so worried.

[RevCheesehead]

48. How old is she?

They usually anesthetize them for that, don't they?
CC had a nasal "scrape" a year ago, to try to get the snot out of him. It didn't do much, except cost me $$.

I'll be sure to say extra prayers for Dusty. :hug:

[bunny planet]

57. She's only eight years old, and up until six weeks ago was acting just like a

kitten. Now she's acting ancient because she feels like awful. She has a growth in one of her nostrils, been sneezing blood, losing weight. We're hoping its just a benign polyp. She may not need the scope anymore, when I made the appointment with the specialist (yes it needs anesthesia) it was hardly visible inside her nose, in the last week its grown and is now protruding.

[Berry Cool]

63. Poor baby!

She has my prayers too!

[bunny planet]

76. Thank you Berry

[GigiMommy]

59. You and me both!!

:hi: :bounce:

[WolverineDG]

3. Hola everyone!!

Oooh, the Boss Hijack suit & Clark Kent glasses!

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

15. And he just whipped them off too

In the most delightful way.

:hi:

[Mabus]

22. Take it off! Take it off! Take it all off!

Go, KO! Woot-woot.

[RevCheesehead]

39. Did you stay dry this weekend?

We got some of your hurricane yesterday. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

55. We got a LOT of it.

Anyone watch the execrable Browns-Steelers game last night? You could see what we had. Lots of people in this state with no power still. Luckily, mine never went out.

[Patsy Stone]

Bot was on Steph's show this morning

he said he didn't have any power.

[Berry Cool]

161. So I heard.

He's not the only one. Same story around a lot of Ohio.

[WolverineDG]

64. And you stayed??

what a dummy!

Sorry, I got my fill of judgemental assholes in GD this weekend. Freakin' armchair quarterbacks & dumbshits asking if Crawford would get wiped off the map har har (a joke that was old the first time it showed up on DU during Rita).....

No, we didn't even get wind. Friday was super cloudy, but Saturday was clear as a bell. We got some weird weather yesterday, but it was because of a cold front.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

83. See? I asked God to keep you safe.

O8)

Damn my computer! I got bumped off again! :grr:

[WolverineDG]

92. Thanks, Rev nt

[Berry Cool]

85. I am pretty judgmental of those who were right in the path and had a choice to leave

and didn't, for really dumb reasons.

As for asking whether anything would get wiped off the map, that is not something I would hope or wish for. Storms don't work that way. They don't just surgically remove or destroy what we don't like.

I'm glad you were safe, Wolvie.

[WolverineDG]

132. Some stories coming out now indicate that more wanted to leave

but because of disability or circumstance, couldn't. There's one story in GD about a guy who helped the Coasties get others off Bolivar Peninsula & expected them to come back for him. The winds picked up & he was left behind. He ended up in the Baptist Church with 3 others & (I am not making this up) a lion.

dg

[Berry Cool]

163. Where the heck did the LION come from?

And did it sleep last night?

Seriously, I have all the sympathy in the world for those lacking the ability to leave. And all the admiration in the world for those who help others get out. How awful to be left behind.

[Berry Cool]

4. You know, I believe Keith's new glasses are fundamentally sound.

:hi: They're just very, very, VERY difficult to look at.

So how the hell are ya, Rev??

Edit: I think these are new frames and even worse than the old Clark Kent frames. But WOO HOO! Keith took them OFF!!! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

8. You have power!

I guess we won't see Bot, huh?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

14. I have the power to make Keith strip at will...

:evilgrin:

I wish he'd take them back off. The corners are really annoying me. They're so prominent, it looks like he's wearing cat glasses.

[Mabus]

27. We just got an HD TV

This is the first time I've seen KO in HD and he wears those glasses? :cry:

[Berry Cool]

49. The other ugly glasses were black frames. These are tortoiseshell.

But I hate them just as much.

Why does he cover his lovely face with heavy frames?? They just make him look like somebody's great-grandpa.

[Mabus]

61. I was watching him on a 12" screen

For a long time it has hard to tell what was going on. I ended up squinting for an hour. When Rachel's show came on, I demanded a better television. Now I get KO on a 26" screen and I can see details.

[RevCheesehead]

43. He looks like Howard K. Smith.

Or was that Harry Reasoner?

:hi:

:swoon: Smelling salts? :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

Hi Rev!!! Hi Patsy!!! Hi Everybody!!!

:hi: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

53. Hi, Gigi!

How's Cassie's leg? :7

:bounce::bounce:

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

91. Cassie's leg is getting better but...

she got in trouble in class for making faces with another kid. We got "the call" from her teacher (Dad's not happy). NO TV, DVD, IPOD AND DS UNTIL SUNDAY!

[RevCheesehead]

97. oh-oh.

If you're gonna make faces, you have to make sure the teacher isn't looking. :hide:

[bunny planet]

102. Glad her leg is getting better.

I kind of miss the little kid hijinks, mine are all too old for that now. Big kid hijinks are .......gulp..... more scarier.

[GigiMommy]

I'M NOT READY!

:scared:

[bunny planet]

124. I'm not either, thankfully none of mine have been particularly pushing the envelope.

Yet.

:scared:

[Berry Cool]

104. Oh boy...

...as the leg problem ends, the mischief begins!

[GigiMommy]

138. I KNOW.......

:hi: Hi Berry!

[Berry Cool]

165. Hi to you, GG

:hi: and to all my other great Keith-friends.

[RepublicanElephant]

7. it's the john mccain, stupid!

<>

[Berry Cool]

18. That is great.

I love that.

Luckily, Bank of America doesn't own me yet. They'll pry my money from my cold dead fingers.

[bunny planet]

120. I had nothing to do with Bank of America until they bought every company that I did have

something to do with. They tried some shenanigi with my cc as soon as they took over the progressive company that had it too. They tried to raise my rate 11% even though I'd never had a late payment, thought I wouldn't notice, and then acted all surprised and aw shucks ma'am when I confronted them on it. Crooks.

[SharonRB]

136. They bought my daughter's bank and one of my credit card companies.

[Berry Cool]

137. See, they haven't tried to buy out or buy up anything I had anything to do with yet.

I have been lucky.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Perfectly Perfect!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

94. And just like a Hoover - -

he really, really, really sucks.

:hi:

[bunny planet]

9. Hang Phil Graham around McClone's neck like a dead albatross (or Elephant)

[Patsy Stone]

25. I want a commercial about that tomorrow.

Hey, Obama staff reading this; make it so, 'k?

[Berry Cool]

70. Right now, I think Lou Gramm knows more about the economy than Phil Gramm.

And when Keith talks about the Shea Stadium dugout being for sale, I'm surprised HE doesn't buy it!

(Dollars to doughnuts he buys that "H" for $5,000!)

[bunny planet]

81. Phil Gramm knows plenty about the economy, he knows how to line his own

pockets with other people's hard earned money, that's the extent of his expertise.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Clark Kent moment!

:loveya:, KO!

[bleever]

16. Easy, Lois.

:hi:

[tblue]

28. If he takes off the glasses, no one will recognize him and he'll go into phone booths to change

clothes.

[Berry Cool]

71. I'll be waiting in that phone booth...

[tblue]

You'll have to take a number. He's Stephanie Miller's "future husband"!

[Berry Cool]

108. Aw, she has a million of 'em.

She doesn't scare me. She's just another lonely aged shut-in like me. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

111. OK, you asked for it:

ttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y79/RevCheesehead/KO%20pics/SuperKeith.jpg

[Patsy Stone]

159. That photo

makes me smile every time.

[ralps]

12. hi RevCheesehead, Hi Everyone, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

90. Hi ralps!

And :meow: to Crook! :loveya:

[GigiMommy]

99. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: :bounce: LOVE THE SEE NO, HEAR NO AND SPEAK NO KITTIES!!!:loveya:

[ralps]

110. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!!

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

[tblue]

23. Hi y'all! I had no idea this group even existed! And I watch KO every nite.

[Patsy Stone]

33. Welcome!

So do we, and we're here most times Keith's on the TeeVee. Come by anytime. :hi:

[Mabus]

42. tblue from Kansas?

I accidentally deleted your PM. I'm still trying to get the games copied. I think they rigged the DVR box. It wouldn't send a signal if I hook it up to anything but the TV.

[tblue]

72. No sweetie, sorry it's not me.

[Mabus]

79. Well, welcome and sorry for the mistake

I've got to remember (and find) who I was thinking of...

[Berry Cool]

77. Hi tblue!

:hi: Glad to have a fresh name in the KOEB Clubhouse!!

[GigiMommy]

103. Hiya Tblue!!!

:hi: :bounce: Welcome!

[RevCheesehead]

142. So glad you joined us, tblue!

We're here every night Countdown is on, so come back often! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Hi Rev!! Howdy all!!

Just got back from dinner!

How is everyone?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

40. Good, good.

:hi:

"Bernanke and Paulson know we can go into another depression if we just work at it hard enough, and they know Phil Gramm is just the guy to do it."

Thanks, Paul!

[GigiMommy]

109. Hi SG!!!!

:hi: :bounce: Hope dinner was yummy!

[SeattleGirl]

115. Hi Gigi!

Yep, it was!

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

[RevCheesehead]

118. Hi, Seattle Girl!

:loveya:

I'm having major computer issues tonight. x(

[SeattleGirl]

126. Again?

That sucks, Rev!

[bunny planet]

29. Next thing McCain will be offering us two chickens in every pot.

[Berry Cool]

30. That picture looks as if Obama is saying "May I have this dance?"

I had the weirdest dream last night. Dreamed that my younger sister and I were kids again and sharing a bedroom again in a house we used to live in growing up. Only the bedroom we were sharing was what used to be our mom's. And as I walked there I walked past the open door of our old bedroom, and Barack Obama was in bed in there with Michelle. I walked over to the next bedroom and whispered to my sister, "Did you know that the next President of the United States is in bed with his wife in our old room?"

[RevCheesehead]

156. So does this mean that Barack's gonna win Ohio?

:woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

166. I sure hope so.

Either that, or I'm having some awful strange dreams.

[WolverineDG]

31. Okay, Keith, whip off those glasses ONE MORE TIME

& we'll have a Clark Kent hat trick. :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

37. See? I can make him do it anytime I want!!!!

:rofl: But seriously, they seem to be bothering him. He doesn't seem comfortable.

He's so gorgeous naked. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

148. He just did

but I'm not sure if that was number three or four. :)

[bunny planet]

34. McCain's tone deafness has tone deafness.

The man is McFucking Clueless.

[bleever]

65. Compound cluelessness.

He's reaching new heights of lows.

[SharonRB]

38. Hi, guys!

I'm fresh back from seeing Biden. I have a new political crush! He's even hotter than the Big Dawg. I was right up front and not only shook his hand and talked to him, but he held my hand while he talked to other people standing near me. Then I went over to the other side where Nancy was, and when he heard me say the picture someone took of me talking to him didn't come out well, he said "Well, let's just take another one." And then we posed for one. He connected so well with the people. I just love him.

And when he flashes that gorgeous smile during his debate with Caribou Barbie, the women will fall in love with him and just have to vote for Barack and him.

[WolverineDG]

44. Biden's hittin' on Sharon!!

:hi: Sharon! Sounds like you had a good time.

I myself, can't wait to see him bite her face off.


dg

[SharonRB]

87. I'm never gonna wash my hand!

I think he actually needs to be charming, but show how much smarter he is.

[Patsy Stone]

47. Aw, Shar.

What a lovely day you had. How wonderful. I know you'll be sharing it soon, but I can't wait to see it.

[SharonRB]

89. As soon as I get my pics downloaded I'll post them.

:loveya: Joe!

[Patsy Stone]

155. You're still floating, aren't you?

Did he smell good? I think I'd probably like his cologne. :)

[SharonRB]

162. I didn't really notice.

It was an outdoor event and I guess there were too many other smells around.

He was very presidential -- definitely ready on day one should the need, God forbid, ever arise.

[Berry Cool]

98. Oh boy, Sha-Sha's over the falls for Big Joe.

He sounds like a great guy. I admit, though, I never thought of him as a sex symbol!

[GigiMommy]

121. Wow Sharon!!!

I just KNEW you'd be there. I was looking for you in the crowd on the news. How cool was that!!

[SharonRB]

130. When they first announced it I really didn't think I could go

but I wasn't too busy at work today, so I was able to get away. I was right up front!

[RevCheesehead]

164. Oh! He loves you!!

You're so lucky!! :loveya:

[RepublicanElephant]

50. sorry... keith's new glasses aren't doing it for me.

they're covering too much of those adorable eyebrows!

[WolverineDG]

54. Well, that woman won't be working at Faux for much longer nt

[bleever]

56. Keef quotes from "The Philadelphia Story" again.

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

75. I love when he does that.

:thumbsup:

[RepublicanElephant]

66. rove trying to convince folks that he can offer objective political commentary.

nice try, karl.

[Patsy Stone]

80. Still, when Karl tells a Republican he's gone too far, well...

You just don't see that everyday, do ya?

[Patsy Stone]

73. Oh! He mentioned the DVDs in the newspapers!

Go, Keith!

[Mabus]

82. They're going to release a sequel to it in October

Just in time for the election.
I hate those people. I really do.

[Patsy Stone]

86. Or Osama, if possible.

That's my guess.

[Mabus]

101. Their sequel will be called "The Third Jihad"

I found an interview by one of the culprits and posted it the other day. It's probably been copied for distribution as we sit here.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3997899&mesg_id=3998572

[SeattleGirl]

78. Oy, same old, same old scare tactics.

I think more and more people are seeing them for the bullshit they are.

[Patsy Stone]

84. I liked the attempted "How dare you insult the American Worker!" kick.

Unfortunatey, that one missed. Wide right.

[Berry Cool]

100. You just know Keith would buy all those Shea Stadium souvenirs himself

if he could figure out where to put them once he bought them.

"Damn...can't get a dugout or a foul pole home on the subway...can't fit it into the condo." :rofl:

[bunny planet]

88. Is Keef going to report on that 'sexist' Tina Fey, Amy Poeler SNL spoof of

Hillary and Sara Palin.

[Patsy Stone]

93. "You say you want foul poles?!?"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

106. I think the Palin "bump" is gonna end up being a belly flop.

[Mabus]

112. In what respect Cherlie?

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

114. Bwahahaha!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

113. I hope that pretty soon the only Palin bump

is the one in Bristol's belly!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

117. :snerk:

:spray:

[Berry Cool]

116. I sure hope so.

I just can't believe people are going to elect more Republicans to clean up the problems created by the previous Republicans. It defies all sense.

[SeattleGirl]

119. Oh, it sure does.

One of those things that make you go, WTF?

[RepublicanElephant]

107. these polls are bogus, chuck!

if defies logic that states are moving to mccain because folks are looking at palin instead of the economy.

[Berry Cool]

122. I love it when it's an attack-Billo, imitate-Rupe night.

Arrr. Thank you, Keith. And thanks, Chuck Todd, for the KOOS.

[Berry Cool]

143. Keith asks us: "Ya like ice cream??"

"Ice cream, little girl???" :9

[GigiMommy]

128. I agree!! oh and Hello!!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

135. Correct

The sampling is suspect, the Gallup people admitted their LV/RV manipulations, and I still say if we're even, we're winning. Think about the money, the new voters, and the fact that if they're playing with the numbers and the best they can do is get it tied, McCain is toast.

[SeattleGirl]

140. My thinking exactly.

Gad, but I am sick and tired of the righties manipulating everything!

[SeattleGirl]

127. Arrrrrrr!

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

131. AARRRGH!!!!

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

133. Keith tries to bait Murdoch.

I doubt he'll go for it. Falafelmort will though.

[ralps]

134. Today's worst person in the world is Rupert Murdoch for dissing Keith & telling

BillO to ignore Keith!!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[RepublicanElephant]

139. aaaaarrgghh!!!

[bunny planet]

141. I agree with this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4008402

No better time to bring this up. Go for it Obama /Biden.
Also, somebody mention that Lehman Brothers had Jeb Bush on their payroll. When there's a bank failure, can a Bush be far behind?

[bunny planet]

145. Is it just me, I just don't think that woman is pretty.

Perhaps its her hideous inside that's influencing me though.

[Mabus]

153. I understand what you mean

When I first saw her I thought she was cute. The more I see her the uglier she gets. It is like her vileness is influencing my perception of her.

[bunny planet]

157. Yup!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

160. Same here. You can have a pretty or handsome face,

but if your soul is ugly, YOU are ugly. Thus, Sarah Palin is ugly.

[RepublicanElephant]

146. yes!!!!

TROOPERGATE!!!!

thanks keith!

[ralps]

147. Yay Keith's talking about Tina Fey's Palin!!!!!!!!

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

[bunny planet]

149. How do they expect to get away with this.

They're using the word 'witchhunt' Pot meet Kettle. The hypocrisy is just endless, endless I tell you.

[SeattleGirl]

152. Well, BushCo has gotten away with it for nearly 8 years.

Guess McPalin think they can continue that "fine" tradition.

[bunny planet]

150. It's hard to tell who she is more like, Bush or Cheney.

She seems to have the worst traits of both combined. A truly frightening person.

[CC]

168. My mother hit it on the head

She is a mix of Bush and Cheney but also McVeigh wrapped in a female skin. :scared:



:hi: everyone Saw the doc today so my left foot is hurting. Keeping it iced and hoping I can have surgery Thursday to pin it back together.

[RevCheesehead]

169. Aw, CC!

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers! :hug:

[CC]

170. Thanks Rev.

Every time I go back to see the doc he makes it sound worse. Then he wriggled my foot (OUCH) to show Terry how it is all broken. Should of killed them both. Course now that the swelling is going down it is worse looking. Kicking myself for even thinking I could climb. Hoping for surgery this week, if it still swells (just putting it down causes it to swell) then have to wait for next week. I want to start on the road to healing already.

[GigiMommy]

171. Hi CC!!

:hug:

[CC]

172. Hi Gigi and

Cassie if she is still up. Just answered your PM. :)

[GigiMommy]

151. Look at her high school yearbook for her administration, sadly...

that sounds like Kwame Kilpatrick. He did the same thing. Sadly he went to my high school.

[bunny planet]

154. Rachel!!!!!!

:loveya:
See youse guys later in the week, probably manana.

[Berry Cool]

167. Later, Bun-Bun!!

:hi: Rachel gave us Bonus Keith again! :loveya:

I don't think he can read in those glasses. I predict he's back to his regular ones tomorrow.
