KOEB Meeting 4-20-09: Get out of Jail Free Edition.

[bleever]

:hi:



Oh, and:



:hippie: :smoke:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Evenin', bleev!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Can someone explain this bizarre Jane Harman story to me please?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Patsy!

Wish I could, but I was so busy today, I only saw a few subject lines on it on DU. Gotta look further into it.

How are you, anyway?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

18. Good, good!

You?

It's raining like a mofo here. :hi:

First it was one thing, and it was confusing enough. Then, like a Coen brothers movie, the whole thing took a bizarre turn to the right around lunch.

David just explained it, and I swear I have to watch it again.

[SeattleGirl]

30. Come out for a visit. It's gorgeous here!

[bleever]

4. See Jane.

See Jane run.

Run Jane, run!

[Botany]

5. 2 words ... Dark Letters aka Blackmail

Harmon promised to work for AIPAC and told them that "our conversation never took place."
This was picked up on a legal wiretap of AIPAC and Gonzales killed any investigation
into Harmon ..... Harmon then was owned by Gonzales and helped keep the story of
illegal wiretaps by the NSA out of the NY times until after the 2004 election.


once again the NSA did the spying and the DoJ was the muscle w/ the US Attorneys as the "hit men."

[SeattleGirl]

7. Thanks, Bot

Appreciate the short, concise summary.

[Botany]

9. it is like Pat's Fav Food .... many layers

[Berry Cool]

27. I wish I was as sure as so many of our fellow DU'ers are that Obama has every intention

of prosecuting the torturers, and he's only pretending he doesn't in order to be forced into it so he can make it look to the Repigs like he didn't really wanna but he had to.

But I'm just not so sure.

If I see one more person say "We're playing checkers, he's playing chess," I may be forced to cram a rook down their throat.

[Patsy Stone]

19. But then the NYT and Harman said it never happened.

But it really did? So they were covering their asses? Makes sense, somewhere.

:hi:

[Botany]

26. The NY Times called people like me after 2004

Dead end conspiracy people, sold the Iraq war, and helped Judy Miller in her crimes.

as Patsy would say, "F*** em"

[WolverineDG]

58. I know the feeling Bot

last year I was called all kinds of horrible names, yet now the truth is slowly dribbling out & guess what? I was telling the truth after all (see the pleading at the link I posted; trust me, your jaw will drop quite a few times).

dg

[Botany]

62. The NY Times damn well knew Ohio was dirty but helped in the ....

.... cover up.

In 2008 I was called sexist because I supported Obama .... I tried telling them I worked for Mary Jo Kilroy &
Jennifer Brunner ... no use.

[ralps]

6. Hi bleever! Hi Everyone

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

[SeattleGirl]

Hi ralps!

Happy Monday to ya!

[ralps]

21. Hi SeattleGirl!!! Thanks! It's almost like Seattle here! It's been raining all day!

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

[SeattleGirl]

35. Oh, so THAT's were our rain went!

It was stunningly beautiful here today!

[Patsy Stone]

20. Hiya!

Happy Monday to you and Crook! :hi:

[ralps]

22. Hi Patsy! Thanks!

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

[Berry Cool]

8. Why, from looking at this you'd think Keith was here tonight.

:hi: Instead, we get the DSOS, which has a little balding hole in the middle that's kinda cute.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi Berry!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

28. Hi SG!

:hi: Good to see you--good to see all of you.

[Patsy Stone]

24. Too much news today to be picky. :)

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

10. That looks a lot like Enzyte Bob there, bleev.

:hi: Hi everyone!

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hi Rev!

Hmmm, maybe that's why he's REALLY smiling!!

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

13. If you really want to know why he's smiling...

do a Google image search.. but be very careful. :scared:

:hi: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Hmmmmm, I see what you mean.

Good thing I'm at home now!

[bleever]

25. I'd never heard of the stuff, but it must really be something.

[RevCheesehead]

38. Uplifting, apparently.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

43. ...

:spray:

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

51. Hiya Pats!

:hi: Life treating you well?

[Berry Cool]

49. You've heard of the clean and jerk?

That's the clean and jerk-off.

[RevCheesehead]

53. ...

:rofl:
I'm just mad at myself for not thinking of that first! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

33. Hey, Revvy!

:hi: Happy Monday! (if there is such a thing!)

[RevCheesehead]

40. Mondays, for me, are always happy!

Mostly because they're no longer Sundays. :P

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

60. I thought that might be true.

Oh, Rev...please keep me from slapping Newt Gingrich when he says that "Jimmy Carter tried weakness." Oh please. NO ONE "tries weakness," asshole.

[nadine_mn]

14. Ok where the heck is KO now

I know some of his recent absences have been due to the loss of his mother... but it is starting to be more like Countdown with David Shuster

please tell me KO isn't being shopped around somewhere else

[SeattleGirl]

16. One word answer: Baseball

KO is a self-confessed baseball nerd, and he does take nights off to go to games.

I just wish he wasn't a Yankees fan.........

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

29. We all wish that.

:)

[SeattleGirl]

39. Well, at least Cleveland gave us a few yucks this weekend with

their drubbing of the Yanks.

[Patsy Stone]

41. Quite the second inning, huh?

That was delightful!

[SeattleGirl]

44. Oh, yeah!

Great gobs of giggles from me, watching that!

[Berry Cool]

64. Oh, nobody laughed harder than I.

Too bad they couldn't keep it up yesterday, but that call was horrible--that was fan interference of Jeffrey Maierlike proportions. Of course, Yankee fans who do that are hailed as heroes. :grr:

I still relish the memory of Saturday. Fourteen damn runs in ONE inning...that was just too rich. And yea, it will go down in the history books that the first two grand slams ever hit in the new Yankee Stadium were hit by Indians. YESSSS!

[SeattleGirl]

67. The Yankees think they and their fans can do no wrong.

I beg to differ.....

[Berry Cool]

37. Bad news...there are no games in NY tonight.

I hope he's taking out family time, or helping straighten out affairs or something.

Besides, he got glutted on baseball the past three days. He went to TWO games Friday...Yankees during the day and the Mets at night.

And to add: no, he's not celebrating 4/20. He told Dan on his show one time that he only tried the stuff once, in 1998 (I highly suspect it was while he was visiting the Cornell campus for his commencement speech...the kids probably passed him one while he was visiting his old radio station) and he didn't like it because it made him "normal."

[SeattleGirl]

42. There IS a lot of stuff to wade through upon the death of someone.

So you could be right.

[nadine_mn]

95. I know.. I am not trying to be callous... I recently lost

2 very close family members (my grandparents died within 6 months of each other and they were like parents to me)..

I just feel teased.. he's gone then he's back for a night then gone again

and frankly.. Shuster would be fine if he would just hit puberty, have his testicles and his voice drop.. he sounds like Bobby Brady

[RevCheesehead]

45. Maybe he's partying with Gene Robinson.

Take the train to DC, etc....
Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Botany]

17. Welcome do you like walks on he beach @ sunset?

Just asking? :blush:

[nadine_mn]

88. why yes... yes I do

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

93. Just be careful, nadine

Bot has a bit of a reputation around these parts.

:rofl:

[Botany]

102. all lies

[nadine_mn]

104. If its a good rep, I'll wreck it and if its a bad rep

wahoooooooo

[Patsy Stone]

36. His absences have grown quite tiresome.

:hi: and welcome!

[nadine_mn]

85. how dare... does he not know how much we need our fix?

thanks for the welcome

[WolverineDG]

23. Back from the Texas bashing wars

I'm now a black-belt in ass-kicking.

Anyone up for a little light reading regarding multiple violations of Constitutional rights? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=180x57097

Happy Monday! :hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

63. Light bedtime reading.

Thanks! :hi:

:hug: for loving justice! :patriot:

[Berry Cool]

68. You can second that from me.

And as a victim of Buckeye-bashing I am on your side there, too.

[WolverineDG]

96. be sure to read the footnotes

it's one thing to make allegations; quite another when you use the opponent's own statements.... wowzers.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

100. I always read the footnotes

The juiciest things always turn up in tiny print.

[WolverineDG]

103. best part is where the name came from nt

[SharonRB]

31. Hi, everyone

Sorry I haven't been here much lately. I try to multi-task during the show with stuff I have to do for Nancy's show, but it doesn't give me much time to post here.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Love the sig pic

I've missed you. :hi:

[SharonRB]

46. I've missed you, too

Yeah, this one worked really well for an Obamicon.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

47. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

72. Hi, SG

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

54. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

74. Hey, DG

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

71. Understandable, but you're doing good work

and that image is fun.

[SharonRB]

76. Thanks!

:hi:

[Botany]

32. Sulu & Spock .... who knew?

[RevCheesehead]

48. Even more unbelievable...

In Generations, we meet Sulu's DAUGHTER, as the new helmsman of the Enterprise.
Kirk: "When did Sulu find time to have a family?" :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

50. Maybe he used the replicator.......

:rofl:

[Botany]

56. Only one logical way he had a daughter.

[Berry Cool]

75. Hmm...looks like someone owes someone a Coke.

And not delivered by turkey baster, either.

[Berry Cool]

57. More like, "HOW did Sulu GET a family?"

Spock: "You may have heard of this incredible device before, Captain...it's known as a turkey baster."

[GigiMommy]

52. Hi Everybody!!! Hey, where's Keith!?! Baseball?

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

[SeattleGirl]

55. Hi Gigi! And hi to Miss Cassie too!

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

[GigiMommy]

73. Hi SG!!!

Gray, ickky, blah day today...and I didn't need to see Guiliani in a dress now.:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

78. How scary was that?

He looked just like Marilyn -- if she were alive today. :)

:hi: and :hi: to Cassie!

[SeattleGirl]

82. Reminds me of Gene Hackman in The Birdcage

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

86. OMFG!

Exactly! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

91. Hahaha! Everytime I see Hackman in that getup, I always think of

Rudy in that getup!

[GigiMommy]

92. I'm laughing so hard...I got the hiccups!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

94. Sorry, Gigi.....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

89. Hi Patsy!!!

:rofl: :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

59. Not baseball this time.

But :hi: to you and Cassie anyway!

[GigiMommy]

81. Hey Berry!!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

61. Jeez, but those Repukes can really give one whiplash trying to keep

up with their idiotic talking points.

Obama is spending too much!!!

Obama is cutting too much money!!!!


WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!


:crazy:

[Patsy Stone]

65. "What does it mean when they're both for A and not for A?"

LOL, David!

[SeattleGirl]

69. They are absolutely bat crap crazy, I swear.

[Patsy Stone]

77. So sad and small

Watching FOX news is fun again!

[Botany]

66. Velma does not have her flirt on tonight

[Patsy Stone]

70. Keith will be sorry he missed Velma

I know she will be upset she missed him.

[Berry Cool]

79. See, she IS different when he's not there.

It's not just my imagination!

[Patsy Stone]

80. She's much different

She can form complete sentences without drooling for one thing.

[Berry Cool]

Rudy Giuliani, Promoter of Traditional Marriage.

Yeah, that'll work. Ah, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the evening.

And you know what? I don't even give a damn that he once married his second cousin. It's not illegal. Hell, in New York it's not illegal to marry your FIRST cousin. Just...a little weird, is all.

[SharonRB]

83. Opposite marriage?

Is she related to Miss South Carolina?

[SeattleGirl]

87. LOL!

[Patsy Stone]

90. As I was watching this train wreck last night

I dribbled water at that very moment. Oy vey.

[SharonRB]

99. Glad I didn't bother to watch.

[Patsy Stone]

101. No need.

I caught the last half hour, and that was more than enough. :)

[Patsy Stone]

84. "opposite marriage"?

Let's make a list of things not to say to Perez Hilton.

[WolverineDG]

97. I think that's called "divorce"

:shrug:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

98. and such as...

What a maroon. After she said that, I started rooting for Miss North Carolina -- the only other blue state left. :)
