Happy New Year, and :hi: , everyone!!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hi RC!

Happy New Year to you, too! :hi:

[RavensChick]

6. Hey, SG!

I just got back from Atlanta this morning so I'm playing catchup with the show (my cousin has cable but not MSNBC, so I went without Countdown for the entire week).

[SharonRB]

14. And a Michigan man!

In both senses of the word -- he grew up here and went to UofM. Go Blue!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

19. Really? I didn't know that! Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

22. Hi, Gigi

Yup -- he's from Novi and went to Michigan.

[ralps]

3. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone! Yep!! WTF???

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

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi ralps!

[ralps]

7. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Hugs

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

[RavensChick]

9. Hi, Ralps!!

Yeah I'm like WTF too! Geez, I'm gone almost 2 weeks and all hell breaks loose!

:hi:

[ralps]

45. Hi RavensChick!

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

[WolverineDG]

8. Sorry I'm late

God, am I sick of Harry Reid. Turns away someone appointed to be a senator & refuses to seat one who won his seat in an election. :grr:

:hi: all!

dg

[RavensChick]

10. Hi, Wolvie!

I had a feeling this was gonna happen. Some way to welcome them to DC.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi Wolvie!

I know; it's nutso!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

12. Hey kids, I too am late for Boss Hijack Keith

:hi: and I have to be Berry After the Show again because Blinko is still on the blink. Sorry...

[SeattleGirl]

15. hI bERRY!

:hi:

[RavensChick]

17. Hi, Berry!

Aw, sorry about that, hon! The boss hijack is looking real good tonight! Hopefully you can catch the re-air.

[Berry Cool]

60. Oh, I watched while he was on.

It's just that if I do that, I have to go to the living room, and my computer is now way back in my office. So the only way I can watch and post anymore is if I can watch online. No Blinko, no live post. :shrug:

[RavensChick]

63. Bummer!

I'm in the living room online and looking at the TV at the same time. If you have a laptop it's much easier to move it around.

[GigiMommy]

25. Hi Berry!! Blinko's got my Hubby's game on.

He's working (replays plus other stuff) the MSU/OSU game.

[SharonRB]

13. Burris can't be seated until the Secretary of State in Illinois

certifies him. White refuses to certify him, so, therefore, even if Reid wanted to seat him, he couldn't. They never bother to mention to that most of the time. Ooops -- Keith just did.

On edit:
Based on what KO just said, maybe it not required after all. I'm so confused.

[Botany]

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

So now that Coleman has gone to the lawyers can the Governor of MN
really stop Franken from going to the senate?

Isn't there a law that Blago is trying to be a pain in the ass and he needs horse whipped?

Reid is a limp groom on a wedding night.

[GigiMommy]

16. Hi Everybody!

:hi: :bounce: Been Wii bowling with Cassie.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Gigi!!

I love Wii bowling! :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

23. Hi SG!!!

Happy New Year! :hi: :bounce:

[RavensChick]

21. Hi, Gigi!!!

Happy New Year to ya! I love Wii bowling too! I played it with my nephew when I was at my brother's for Christmas and we had a great time.

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

28. Hi RC!!!

:hi: :bounce: Cassie FINALLY got the Wii and we've been going nuts ever since. Got Wii Play too (LOVE COW RACING!!):loveya:

[RavensChick]

31. Cow racing?

That must be a new one. I can say that I love the sports but the tennis is a major workout. Who needs Curves or Ballys? Just get a Wii system and leotards.

[GigiMommy]

34. You're SOOOOOOOO right about the tennis game.

On the Wii Play disc, the Cow Racing game is called "Charge!". Your Mii is riding on a cow and you have to race through a farm field knocking over scarecrows before time is up.

[RavensChick]

37. Now I know what I'm getting my nephew for his birthday

next month! Thanks!

[SharonRB]

20. Two mentions of Lewinsky in one show

:rofl:

[RavensChick]

24. At least this time

there's no cigar involved unless we hear otherwise!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

66. I was quite surprised

he didn't mention there were two.

:hi: Sharon and the rest of youse. I'm watching the late show, and Keith's just finished with the Coultergeist story.

I think Howard needs a haircut. That will eliminate the old pink/brown growing out calico cat thing he's got goin' on right now, plus, the man just needs a haircut.

[SharonRB]

67. Hi, Pats!

We missed you.

I was surprised he didn't point out the two mentions as well.

:hi:

[Botany]

27. Skier story ....

I thought K.O. was going for a ski pole joke.

[RavensChick]

29. Hi, Botany!

Happy New Year!

I was waiting on it too, but darn it! I guess he wanted to be nice to the poor schmuck.

Word to the wise: When on a ski lift, remember what your mama said--Wear clean underwear! You never know what'll happen!

:hi:

[Botany]

33. Happy New Year to you too!

Be careful when you blow snow too.

[GigiMommy]

51. Botany...I love ya but

now I'm gonna have WEIRD DREAMS tonight.:rofl:

[RavensChick]

57. Same here.

Then again, I suggest this: picture Keith in that pose and it won't be so weird, LOL!

[GigiMommy]

30. Hey! A shout out to Rochester Michigan!

[SharonRB]

32. How did I miss that?

[GigiMommy]

39. It was the twins born in 2008/2009 story.

[SharonRB]

41. Oh. I read about that in the local paper the other day.

[RavensChick]

44. Wow!

That is truly amazing. At least I don't have that problem, LOL! (Hint: tomorrow is a very special day for me :party: )

[GigiMommy]

53. Hey I had a special day last Saturday!

:party:

[RavensChick]

59. Really?

Happy belated, hon!

:toast:

[Botany]

35. Gupta is a very good pick ..... he is very smart.

Obama keeps picking winners.

[SharonRB]

38. I agree, but you sure can't tell from most of the people

posting today.

[Botany]

40. I heard Gupta speak last summer on Ed Schultz

He was talking about Ted Kennedy's brain tumor .... he was very good

[Berry Cool]

62. Personally, I'm disappointed he didn't pick Dr. Ted Castele from Channel 5.

He was always there for us to explain the latest injury to a Brown or an Indian in terms we could understand. "See, this is a rotator cuff..."

[SeattleGirl]

42. They've all set their phasers on KILL, I think.

Sheesh, sometimes I have to stay far away from some of the forums. If I look at them for too long, I start thinking that the election of Obama is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. x(

[SharonRB]

46. It does appear that way according to many of them, doesn't it?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

Yep, it sure does.

I was reading the forums too much about a week or so ago, and found myself getting depressed and angry.

"ENOUGH!" says I.

I'm gonna hang out at places where people are capable of paying attention to more than one thing at a time.

[RavensChick]

54. Exactly!

That's why I love you guys! We can be serious yet funny and very impartial too!

[SeattleGirl]

55. You know it, RC!

[Botany]

36. Bush's lies

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/bush-says-military-...

President Bush on Tuesday, at a parade honoring him and the armed forces, praised the U.S. military and said the missions it carried out under his leadership have all been necessary.

“The decisions I made as your commander in chief have not always been popular, but the cause you have served has always been just and right,” Bush said. “The missions you have carried out have always been necessary, and the work you have done has been every bit as courageous and idealistic as that of any generation that came before you.”

Bush noted that, following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. has not been hit by another strike. He gave the military credit for taking the fight to the enemy and liberating Afghanistan and Iraq from hostile regimes.

“To the men and women of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and all those who serve in the Department of Defense, you have the respect of a grateful nation that you have kept safe,” Bush stated. “You have the admiration of millions around the world who would have never tasted freedom without you. You have the undying love and respect of a man who has been proud to call himself your commander in chief.”

[ralps]

43. Today's worst person in the world is Gov. Sarah Palin!!

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

[SharonRB]

47. I'm sure it won't be the last time

she's so named.

[Berry Cool]

64. I now officially hate and envy Sarah Palin more than any other woman in the world.

Keith probably didn't know who she was a year ago, and he said tonight that he couldn't live without her.

When's the last time he said that about ANY woman??

What's wrong with this picture? :shrug:

[GigiMommy]

48. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi: :bounce: Love the "See no...hear no...kittens" CUTE!

[ralps]

50. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie!! Hugs

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

[RavensChick]

49. No shit.

Well at least she's the gift that keps on giving!

[SharonRB]

52. It's not the first ever youth ball

They had one when my daughter was in DC for college in 1996.

[Berry Cool]

58. Velma: "I went to Clinton's two balls as a reporter."

...You did, eh???? :rofl:

Velma was looking especially lovely tonight. I like the soft hair on her, and she looked so excited to have landed a scoop that even made Keith splutter in disbelief.

Keep working on him, Velma. He WILL be yours!

[RavensChick]

61. Word up on that!

She's getting there so let's keep encouraging her, guys! All in good time, Velma! All in good time!

[Berry Cool]

65. Yeah, and they forgot all about the MTV Ball in '92.

One thing I think we all can agree upon: Clinton sure had a lot of balls.

[Botany]

56. Velma!

So bush is a petty little man keeping Obama out of Blair House .... :grr:
