KOEB 12-19-08 Blago speaks edition

[SharonRB]

He's as guilty as sin. He's saying nothing different from what Ted Stevens or the Dukester said and we know what happened to them.

[Patsy Stone]

1. Blago's hair speaks louder.

:hi:, all! Happy Friday! :toast:

[SharonRB]

3. It sure does

:hi:

[bunny planet]

9. Hey Patsy!!!!

William Devane is so much classier than B-Rod.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Hi ya, Pats! Happy Friday to you, too!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

17. Speaks?

More like screams, I'd say. :hi:

[bunny planet]

2. Hi Sha-sha.

This is surreal

[SharonRB]

6. Hi, Bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

15. Yikes, I made it.

I'm kind of speechless so far. Going to go read the thread so far.
Hi everyone.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hi bunny!

:hi:

[bunny planet]

33. Hey SG!!!

Yeah, now they're covering Bristol's baby daddy mama arrest story.

[SharonRB]

34. Too mucking fuch.

That family just keeps on giving, doesn't it?

[SeattleGirl]

38. I wish they'd stop!

I think we've had more than enough gifts from them.

[bunny planet]

41. I've got a perfect pic to post for the Palin story

but I'm just too exhausted to go and find it.
We had a pretty awesome snow day here.

[SharonRB]

47. Here, too

I haven't been outside all day. Thank goodness I can now log into my work computer from home.

[Patsy Stone]

52. I want snow.

Everyone has snow except me. :(

[SeattleGirl]

54. I'd gladly send you mine if I could.

Living in The Land 'o Hills is NOT fun when we get snow and ice!

[SharonRB]

56. No. You. Don't.

Believe me, you don't, but if you think you do, I told you you could come visit me during inauguration week.

[bunny planet]

70. I've decided I'm buying snow shoes, today I had a conversation with a friend

who has some and she was going out to play and I wrote down the information about where to buy a pair nearby. We don't usually get enough snow here to make them worthwhile so might try to find a second hand pair.

[SeattleGirl]

73. I wished I had some today.

There was finally enough of a break between snow storms that I could get to my office to pick up more work to do over the weekend.

We have to park the cars out on the main road, 3 blocks from our house, and just getting from the house to the end of the driveway was a chore.

I think snow shoes would have made it a bit easier.

[bunny planet]

90. I've never used them before but my friend says she can go out in knee deep

snow and just walk on top.

Sounds like fun and good exercise.

[Patsy Stone]

83. That's hilarious.

Please, please, please take photos if you do this. :)

[bunny planet]

117. Yes, most def.

I love to make people laugh, I can hear my husband now, 'Lucy, it's snowing'

[Patsy Stone]

21. Hi!

Check your PM.

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

43. ok do k

going to check it right now, be back in a flash.

[bunny planet]

51. so sorry doll, I'm not myself today and out of practice posting

Please forgive me!!!

[Patsy Stone]

59. No need

to apologize, the tubes have become very confusing these days. :hug:

[bunny planet]

85. Here are the reasons I am ga ga today.

We are adopting these babies!!!!!
<img src="">

[RevCheesehead]

Squeeeeeeeee!!!

How adorable!!! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[bunny planet]

97. Yes they are. My vet's office personally fostered them, they are at the pet food

store across the street. We fell in love with them over a week ago, just took in one of our other older cats for a check-up today and made the decision. We have to wait until after January 1st to bring them home.

[Patsy Stone]

87. Oh, eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

99. Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

89. WANT!

They are SOOOOOO CUTE!!!

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

105. My little girl, who was with me through thick and thin taking care of our

darling Dusty, is unable to contain herself she is so happy. My other two kids haven't met them yet, will this weekend. Then we have to introduce them gradually to our two older cats (who are sisters too).

I'm so excited I could have a chicken.

[SeattleGirl]

114. I bet you are! Oh, my I interrupt your kittie post with a puppy picture?

My husband and his brother and sister got a dog for their dad for Christmas. Here she is (don't know her name yet):

[RevCheesehead]

115. "Yo quero Taco Bell?"

I'd name her Botany, just because.... :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

118. Hehe! I have some of those Taco Bell dogs, from when my daughter

worked there. This little puppy is barely bigger than they are!

[Patsy Stone]

116. Oh.My.God.

:loveya:

[bunny planet]

120. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

you sure can interrupt, beyond the beyond adorable. Is it a Chihauhua??

[SeattleGirl]

124. Yep. And she weights a wopping 3 pounds!

MrSG says she is just the most cuddly, loving dog, which is perfect for my FIL (and MrSG's grandmother).

[bunny planet]

134. My grandma's best friend when I was growing up, was named Hazel, and she

had a chihuahau, forgot the dog's name. I remember the sweet relationship between them.

[SeattleGirl]

138. Aw, that's sweet.

My inlaws used to have two chihuahua's, named Gidget and Gadget. :)

[bunny planet]

126. There were two little girls with their 8 week old black lab puppy in the vets

office this morning, his name was 'Wally' but spelled like the animated movie character. He was so cute and so were the little girls and their mom showing him off to us.

[SeattleGirl]

129. I love black labs!

I bet the pup and the girls were just adorable!

[bunny planet]

146. yes they were

[Berry Cool]

166. That one's comically sweet.

[ralps]

96. Awwww Gorgeous Kitties!! What are their names?

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

[bunny planet]

109. Haven't named them yet, but we will have great fun with it.

They are twins so..... I'll let you guys know once we have them home and decide, or we might name them before we bring them home.

[SharonRB]

104. They're adorable

I just wish I weren't so allergic to them.

[bunny planet]

112. Awww, I know, I'm allergic to so many things, just luckily not kitties.

[SharonRB]

122. I may never be able to visit you

four cats is just too much for me. One is bad enough! I get asthma attacks and really can't breathe after being in the house for a couple of hours with them.

[RevCheesehead]

131. Then come to my house!

I only have three. :)

[SharonRB]

147. Not much better!

[bunny planet]

151. Oh no!!!!

I hadn't even thought of that.

[Berry Cool]

164. Oh too sweet!!!

You will be such a good kitty mommy to them, I know!!

[Patsy Stone]

7. "I am not a crook."

:hi:

[SharonRB]

11. Exactly!

[bunny planet]

23. Yes, pretty much reminds me of that, only with bad Democratic hair instead

of bad Republican hair.

[Patsy Stone]

29. That hair stopped growing in 1980.

It's just there, frozen in time.

[bunny planet]

35. ya think.

[RevCheesehead]

20. Hi Bunny!

As an artist, aren't you into surreal? :hi:

[bunny planet]

58. not that surreal.

Hey now!!!

[ralps]

4. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

27. Hi SeattleGirl!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

25. ralps!!

You guys got socked today! :woohoo:
I hope Crook enjoys the snow! :hi:

[ralps]

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

hasn't ever been outside in the snow, although I did bring him some! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug: :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

39. CC went walking outside when someone came to the door yesterday.

Silly cat got as far as the porch before he realized that it was too damned cold to be out. :)

[SeattleGirl]

44. Here's my silly Katie Cat. She really really REALLY wanted to go out,

until she GOT out.

Then she realized it wasn't such a good idea. :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Katie sez,

"But Mom - the cuddle pad isn't supposed to be COLD!!!"

[SeattleGirl]

50. Hehe!

She's such a delicate doily!

[Berry Cool]

55. What is it with cats?

They're set on default at the factory to want "out." Then they get "out" and discover it's not so great out there and they want back in.

Bella once escaped to the hallway of my apartment building. When she realized there was no place to go but the end of the hall, she began moaning and howling fit to make everyone open their doors and ask how the werewolf got in the hall.

[SeattleGirl]

61. :snerk:

That about describes it perfectly!

She must have thought it was a nice, big, warm white blanket she was seeing.

[RevCheesehead]

65. LOL!

Bella - sometimes confused with the building's fire alarm. :hi:

[ralps]

57. Awwww Cute Kitty! Hugs

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

[SeattleGirl]

62. Katie Cat says Thank You, ralps!

[SeattleGirl]

5. And speaks, and speaks, and speaks.

Does anybody else think he's one taco short of a combo?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

8. I do, I do!

[RevCheesehead]

10. Don't look now, but he has cookie crumbs all over his face.

"I didn't do it!!"

Hey Rob - Santa is watching you!

:hi: Hi, everyone!

[SharonRB]

12. Hi, Rev!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Hi Sharon!

Did you enjoy being at home today? :)

[SharonRB]

19. I certainly enjoyed NOT going outside

They closed our office at 1:00, so I would have been really pissed if I had trekked in and then got sent home a few hours later.

[SeattleGirl]

22. Rev!!!

Hey girl, you staying warm?

I finally was able to get to my office today to pick up more files, so I could keep working from home. Today was our window between snow storsm.

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

36. Girl!!

We were told to stay off the roads - very slippery, and lots of blowing and drifting. Nobody had to tell me to stay inside! In fact, I'm skipping tonight's choir Christmas party, mostly because they're too stupid to stay home. :eyes:

:hi: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

40. Silly wabbits!

Staying home would be THE thing to do!

[RevCheesehead]

46. Last spring, these same people decided to meet...

while the county was under a tornado warning. Because "church council" must go on, no matter what. :eyes:

I'm glad I'm quitting "stupid." Church isn't that important.

[SeattleGirl]

49. Yeah, I don't recall anything in the bible that says, "Thou shalt ignore

all the safety warnings and venture forth into snow storms, tornadoes, and everything else that could possibly wipe you off the face of the earth."

[Berry Cool]

64. I only wish things had been that bad here.

It was cold, snowy, slushy and icy, all right--but not enough to cancel work, send us home or let us work from home.

[ralps]

24. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! Hugs

I was snowed in most of the day today! & I didn't go out! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

42. And to think, some people don't like snow.

I mean, how else are we gonna get some time off? :hi:

[WolverineDG]

26. Hola peeps!!

Happy Friday! :hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

30. Hey, DG

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

31. Hola, chica!

Happy Friday back to you, too! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

53. Woofie!!

Have you been slogging through the muck of GD and GD: Pee again?
:hi:

[WolverineDG]

68. They made one of my comments disappear

:eyes: Apparently, if you speak the truth, your post is deleted.

I stopped hiding Warren threads. For every one I hid this morning, 3 more cropped up in its place. :crazy:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

74. Just a word of advice:

If you reply with "You're talking out of your ass, Hitler," you're most likely to get that post deleted. ;)

[WolverineDG]

91. But I didn't say that

O8)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

94. My bad.

They probably don't like "Beeyotch" either. :spank:

[SeattleGirl]

75. Not enough time in the day to hide all the Warren threads.

Mostly, I've just stayed away from GD and GD-Pee.

[Patsy Stone]

76. "Whac-a-Mole"

[RevCheesehead]

127. See, if we could do that to the posts we don't like,

GD: Pee would be kind of addictive. Maybe Skinner could make it available for star-donors only.

[SeattleGirl]

132. That would definitely be worth the price of admissing, wouldn't it?

[SeattleGirl]

28. Oops! Almost forgot: Cocktails for everyone!

[RevCheesehead]

71. Yay!

Do you have one loaded with Vitamin C?

[SeattleGirl]

77. You can have anything in your cocktail you'd like!

I aim to please!

[RevCheesehead]

79. In that case,

I'd like Harrison Ford, please.

[SeattleGirl]

82. As you wish!

[RevCheesehead]

92. Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?

Thanks, doll! :loveya::hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

93. Aw, shucks, Rev.

:blush:

:loveya:

[Berry Cool]

102. That'll put the cock in your cocktail.

[SeattleGirl]

103. .......

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

113. ........

:spray:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SharonRB]

32. Scandal?

You betcha!

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

45. Blago is such a grandstander, and his hair is so bad.

:hi: Happy Friday, all!

Did anyone notice the Elvis fan started with "Thankyouverymuch"? :rofl:

And yes, the Sarah Palin saga keeps on giving. Who'd a thunk her daughter's future mother-in-law would turn out to be a MILTBDF (Mother I'd Like to Buy Drugs From?)

[WolverineDG]

60. How come the banks were not required to become "viable" in 3 months?

Can I have my President Obama NOw?????????


dg

[Patsy Stone]

63. No bankers' union?

:mad:

[SeattleGirl]

67. One reason, and one reason only:

They aren't unionized (at least, as far as I know).

[SharonRB]

66. No, Bush wants to see the autos fold under Obama's watch

[SeattleGirl]

80. A-yup!

That's exactly what he wants to do.

Asshat! :grr:

[Berry Cool]

95. I went to a South Korean parliament meeting the other day

and a hockey game broke out.

And the Zamboni fell off the truck.

(Seriously, I love this NHL Outdoor Classic stuff. Hockey at Wrigley Field!

Hey, Keith just played Stephanie Miller's "What a Man" song!!! Shout-out to her!!!! Keith LOVES her!! He wants to DATE her!!!! :loveya:

[Botany]

69. not to make to fine a point of it

bush will not matter come March 1st 2009 ....

man is W an idiot

[WolverineDG]

72. Thank you, Captain Obvious

:loveya: I just wish March 1 2009 were really December 20, 2008. :cry:

dg

[Botany]

78. I ham 1 smarts man

This is like bush signing stuff about staying in Iraq and keeping Gitmo open ...

man is W an idiot

I wish the SOCTUS had allowed the vote to be counted in Florida 2000

[RevCheesehead]

84. Minnesota is showing SCOTUS and the nation how it should be done.

I mean, is Minnesota falling apart because a winner hasn't been declared yet? :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

98. Not that I've noticed.

Now watch; Coleman will start throwing a hissy fit, and want to drag this out into forever. Won't take his own advice to concede. Same thing happened here in Washington when our Gov was first elected. She ended up winning by slightly over 100 votes. When her opponent was ahead, he kept saying she should graciously concede. But when SHE pulled ahead, he took her to court. Fortunately, the court, though they are the most conservative in Washington, followed the law and not Republican party talking points.

[Botany]

101. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Theological Question if the Packers played the Jets in the Super Bowl
w/ Farve as the Jets' QB .... who would you root for?


:rofl:

The Supreme Court stopped the counting because they knew
what the outcome would be ..... and to this day we are paying a
huge cost. Justice Tony Scalia and his it is all in the past and we
should "get over it" is a pig.

[RevCheesehead]

108. Da Jets.

Because there's no way in hell the Packers are going anywhere this year. It's called reaping what you sow.

Scalia has a very special seat reserved for him in hell.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

81. Hi guys!! I haven't been around much lately.

:hi: :hi:

Just busy as a beaver getting ready for the holidays. But I got finished last night. Thank you Jesus!!!

As far as Blago goes, we have a history of our Govs going to jail. Otto Kerner. Dan Walker. George Ryan and now Blago. I wish I knew what is in the water in Springpatch (that's how the Chicago pols refer to Springfield).

Don't get me wrong here, but the fact is that the Chicago Tribune has been on his back since the day after he was elected and many of the powers that be in Illinois,
aka Daley and his buddies, absolutely can't stand Blago. In fact he and his father-in-law, Alderman Richard Mell 33rd Ward of Chicago, haven't spoken to each other for at least 2 years.

His hair has always been a joke in Illinois.

We got socked last night with a lovely ice storm, I went out to scrap the car and it took me almost 45 minutes to get all of it. It's supposed to get bitterly cold Sunday, and more snow on Tuesday. It is even officially winter yet and I'm already getting tired of it.

[SharonRB]

86. Hi, Mo

:hi:

Welcome back.

[SeattleGirl]

88. Hi mo!!!

Nice to see you!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

100. And don't forget Monday night Packers-Bears game.

They're already saying it's gonna be a repeat of last year.
Except that it'll be Aaron Rodgers' ass all over the field instead of Brett's. :eyes: Congrats, in advance, for the win.

:hi:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

110. I didn't forget about the game.

I just wanted to be "politically correct" about it. I absolutely loath the Packers and always have. I'm not as sure of a win as you Rev. The Bears have never done well on Monday night Football.

[RevCheesehead]

121. Well, look at it this way:

Da Bears were prepared last year. And McCarthy had the team practice indoors, because it was too cold. This year, they're practicing indoors, "because conditions on the field are too dangerous." :eyes:

BTW, the Packers are the new choke-kings of the division.

[Patsy Stone]

106. Hi, mo!

Welcome back.

Jon Stewart the other night: "Four of the last eight governors of Illinois have gone to jail. That's a 50% incarceration rate. The incarceration rate for convicted murderers is 48%. Kids, please, don't go into Illinois politics."

[Berry Cool]

119. So, you're actually more likely to go to prison for being an Illinois governor

than for being a murderer?

Someone ought to have a "Scared Straight" program for would-be Illinois governors.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

145. I know it's unreal.

I look at it this way all of the 8 last govs have been crooks. Big Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar were just too smart to get caught. BTW Big Jim was the Eastern District of Illinois DA when Otto Kerner got caught. He made his reputation on Kerner's back. Some say here in Illinois that Nixon wasn't happy with the Kerner Commission that reviewed the police and their actions in 1968 at the Democratic Convention. So, Otto may not have been guilty after all.

I met Gov. Kerner once when I was about 19 years old. My Uncle Dan was a State Senator and knew Otto pretty well. My family and myself went to Springfied to do the Lincoln sites and Uncle Dan got us in to see the Governor.

[Berry Cool]

111. Hiya, mo!

:hi: Sounds like you could use a trip back to the fair isles of Ireland right about now!!

[bleever]

107. Mark Felt also authorized some illegal searches

of Weather Underground residences, arguing that it was a matter of national security.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

125. Wow, it's a sham!

[bleever]

133. You'll say Wow every time!

[GigiMommy]

123. I'M SICK OF SHOPPING!!!!!

Hi everyone!

[ralps]

130. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!! Hugs Did Cassie make that?? Cool!

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

[GigiMommy]

141. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: :bounce: No (hee hee). That's the "Screaming Banshee". Hallmark uses her in E-Cards and now Honeybaked Ham has her in an ad. Quite funny. All she does is SCREAM.

[Berry Cool]

135. Hi GGM and Cassie!!

Is Cassie getting excited about Christmas??

:hi: Keith just said Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving. He's quoting us. :hi: Hi Keith!!!!

[GigiMommy]

152. Hi Berry!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHH yeah!

:hi: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

136. Hi Gigi!

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

[GigiMommy]

154. Hi SG!!!

:hi: :bounce: A big ole snowstorm doesn't help.

[SeattleGirl]

160. I hear ya!

I was finally able to get to my office after two days stuck at home. Just went long enough to get some more files (I'm able to work from home, thank goodness, when I can't get into the office).

We've got another storm coming in tomorrow.

[RevCheesehead]

142. On-line shopping is the way to go.

I think everyone (except Dad) is getting gift-cards this year.

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

159. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: :bounce: Wish I coulda. It might be too late now.

[Patsy Stone]

128. "Made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff."

"So, call now, because we can't do this all day."

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

144. Those were my favorite statements from the commercial too!

Yeah, like they can't possibly run that ad all day long!!!!! (and do!!!!)

What is it with the little headset mike thing anyway??

"Made in Germany! From the same fine people who brought you Adolf Hitler!"

[Patsy Stone]

150. I have another:

"Follow me camera guy?!"

LOFL!

It's left over from his days at the Home Shows, and the Trade Shows, no doubt. The theory around my house is he's the guy who moved the most of these over the years, so a shoe-in for the "big commercial".

[bleever]

137. Sean Hannity is deliciously irrelevant

to anything whatsoever now, except for Oddball.

:patriot:

[RevCheesehead]

139. You know he's sunk to a new low

when even Alan Colmes has left him.
:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

140. And his faux outrage over Obama smoking a cigarette, like noone knew.

Holy cripes, Hannity, read the actual news now and then, will ya?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

153. Ya know something Hannity and O'Reilly are such hypocrites..

I'd love to meet the both of them so I could spit on them. They make me ashamed of being Irish-American and believe me they're a joke to everyone in Ireland as well.

[Patsy Stone]

143. "He had a hat."

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

148. ZOMG!!!! A hat? A HAT?????

Then we must bar him from taking office!

Hats are evil!

Hats hate America!

Only fascists wear hats!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

168. Which reminds me of a famous joke:

A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, "please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back." And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: "He had a hat!"

[RevCheesehead]

169. LOL!

:)

[SeattleGirl]

171. ROFL!

That's a good one, Pats! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

149. The SCANDAL of it all!!!!!

:rofl:

I love it when Keith does the Manatee.

[Berry Cool]

158. Keith didn't do a handoff tonight.

Was he in a hurry to leave?

Oh, I see why now--apparently Rachel's not live tonight. SHE pre-recorded! (No "live" bug on her show.)

[bleever]

155. Joel is rocking the house tonight!

One of his best nights ever on Countdown.

:rofl:

[bunny planet]

156. Meanwhile, I haven't watched a second of Keith.

I think I can't multitask anymore. I'll catch up with Rachel.

[SharonRB]

157. Breaking news: AG Jerry Brown asks CA Supreme Court to overturn Prop 8

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4686625

[Patsy Stone]

161. Yeah!

:woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

162. YES!!!!

I hope they do, because they were the ones who said that gay marriage was legal, right?

[bleever]

163. That's my boy!

:woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

170. Let's hope and pray it works.

Then we get Obama to overturn Warren, and we've got something.

[WolverineDG]

165. Hooray!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

dg

[GigiMommy]

167. Yeah, I like Jerry Brown!

Keeping fingers crossed.
