KOEB Meeting: 11/17/09 -- Dittos From an Alaskan Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, y'all!

[RevCheesehead]

1. Harry Reid looks like a very tired and weary elf.

He needs to return to the North Pole for rejuvination.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. He's many shades of gray.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

4. Billy Joel.

One of my favorite CD's.

[Patsy Stone]

11. I don't know that one at all

but I do love Billy Joel. "The Stranger" was one of the first albums I ever bought.

[RevCheesehead]

13. One of the songs is called "shades of grey."

Some things were perfectly clear,
seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear,
I claimed the corner on truth
These days it's harder to say
I know what I'm fighting for
My faith is falling away
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Once there were trenches and walls
and one point of every view
Fight 'til the other man falls
Kill him before he kills you
These days the edges are blurred,
I'm old and tired of war
I hear the other man's words
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
When I look to the enemy line
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Now with the wisdom of years
I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men,
and all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
when I look to the enemy line
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colours I see

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see

[Patsy Stone]

20. Ah, got it!

Sounds lovely. I'll go find it on YouTube after Keith.

[PSzymeczek]

48. That is a good one.

I love Billy Joel's music!

5. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing?

We'll see if Harry gets reelected next year! & the same goes for Blance Lincoln! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

9. Bill Press declared today that "she's toast."

Ed didn't ask him about Harry.

We're good - I unpacked my big grey tabby painting today. It used to look like Roo, but now it looks like Keith! :)

[ralps]

3. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Frell you Orin Hatch!!! Just try & pass a "Stupak" amendment!

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

[RevCheesehead]

6. Hey ralps - Stupid said today he's a moderate!

And it was those durned libruls who made a fuss over his amendment. He apparently represents "the majority of Americans."

:eyes:

:hi:
and :meow: to my li'l buddy.

[PSzymeczek]

49. No, he doesn't!

The majority of Americans want abortion to remain safe and legal.

[Patsy Stone]

7. He's frothing at the mouth over outlawing abortion any way he can.

:puke:

Why do you hate people of faith?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

16. Don't lie to Oprah Winfrey

:scared:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

17. And you never said "fancy pageant walkin'" either

so, what's your point, Sarah?

[WolverineDG]

18. Gore didn't say he invented the internet

where's your outrage over that, Sarah? Hmmm?

dg

[GigiMommy]

21. Hello everyone.

[Botany]

22. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

Welcome my friend!

[GigiMommy]

29. Hi Botany.

Thank you.:hug:

[PSzymeczek]

50. It's our Olbermensch!

A word picked up from Kos' hate mail. But it's German/Yiddish for Olbermann's Stand Up Guy, so, I think it applies to our Botany!

[bleever]

24. Hi Gigi!

And hello Cassie!

:hi:

[Botany]

26. You never say hi to me!

:cry:

BTW only 2 days till Sarah comes to Columbus ..... prescreened, no talking to her, and you have to pay $29.99 for the book she
didn't write that is now for sale for $5.00.

Book your flight now!

[bleever]

41. Did I ever tell you you're my fave?

Did Steph mention your Lavoie memoir on air?

And I heard her mention Columbus with a special throaty trill this morning.

[Botany]

47. I didn't get a chance to listen

n/t

[Graybeard]

23. Sarah Palin is ridiculed because

...she is ridiculous. What's so hard to understand?

Hi everybody.:hi: :hippie:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Hey, Greybeard!

Apparently, she's supposed to be endearing and adorable. Who knew? :hi:

[bleever]

25. I remember that scene from Winnie-the-Pooh!

[Graybeard]

30. And when you're meeted by the Donald you've been meeted!

Carrie being touted for public office because she draws crowds? Obama was dismissed as just a "celebrity" when he did that.

[PSzymeczek]

51. I hear "meeted"

and I visualize being pelted by raw beef.

[DU GrovelBot]

## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[Botany]

32. meated us?

BTW she has about 1 billion sex tapes and when she would send one to her "boyfriend" (4 days in a hotel)
she would call him and ask if he thought she was hot. Say good bye Miss California!

[bleever]

43. Maybe she meant "meted", as in

"God looked down on her hypocrisy and meted out his judgment on her."

[Patsy Stone]

44. It's so nice

that you think she knows that word.

:hi:

[bleever]

46. Just because she's pretty doesn't mean

...oh wait: I don't think she's pretty.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Birther / Sexting / Tramp Stamp

Unfriend vs. Teabagger.

And that was the year that was.

[GigiMommy]

36. Patsy, you made me laugh

Thanks.

[Patsy Stone]

39. GG!

I'm only too happy to do that. Glad I could help. :hi:

[bleever]

45. That's practically a haiku.

:hi:

[ralps]

35. Today's worst person in the world is BillO & Glenn Beck!! for calling for a Tax

Revolt!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :wtf:

[Patsy Stone]

38. "The Constitution isn't here!"

Oy vey, Billo. You've been hanging out behind the auto shop with Glenn Beck between clasess, haven't you? :crazy:

[Botany]

40. teabagging?

[Patsy Stone]

42. Oh, dear.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

52. oh, my...

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

53. Sorry I bailed out on y'all.

I got a phone call from one of my favorite church people, from my favorite church. :D

[Berry Cool]

54. OMG!

I had a dinner to attend last night and couldn't make it, but hi anyway. :hi:

My reactions to the amazing picture Pats posted:

1. "That's a great picture of John Oates, but where's Daryl Hall?"

2. "Oh Keith...the mullet just wasn't working for you at all."

3. "What was he saying at that precise moment...'Say the secret word and win $100'?"

Now I know why he has a girlfriend half his age...he was looking for someone not old enough to actually be able to remember when he looked like this. :rofl:

But Keith did look yummy last night...the dark gray suit with the maroon tie was magnificent. And of course, the show was excellent.

"Teabagger"...heh heh. And everyone knows, you can't have a teabagger protest without a Dick Armey.
