[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Pats

Love that pic!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hey, Shar!

Me, too. :) :hi:

Did you see the secret to the Republican's fundraising plan? "Tchochkes."
No, really. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=433&topic_id=206341&mesg_id=206341

[SharonRB]

5. Seriously?

I hadn't seen that before. Isn't that illegal?


Oh, wait. They don't care about that.

[Patsy Stone]

There were ten (10!) exclamation points after it

in the PowerPoint. This is a verrrry important part of their plan. Now, of course, they don't mention that those "tchochkes" are houses and vacations, but, you know...

[SharonRB]

2. Heads up for anyone who will be home tomorrow

Nancy will be on MSNBC betwee 10 and 10:30 ET tomorrow a.m. If you won't be home, set your recording device.

[Berry Cool]

25. Thanks, Sha-Sha, will watch.

:hi: Hi all, I don't know what it is but my browser had a devil of a time getting to DU tonight.

Love the pic too!

Finally, the man is taking charge...

I love it when elections have the consequences we want them to. :-)

[WolverineDG]

4. Hola everyone!

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

6. Hola, Chica!

I was kinda pullin' for Kay Bailey Hutchison. :hi:

[SharonRB]

8. Me, too.

Any chance White can knock off Perry?

[WolverineDG]

10. A couple of polls have him within 4 pts of Perry

November is a long way away, who knows what can happen.

dg

[WolverineDG]

9. I was pulling for a Medina/Perry show-down

especially after her hamster ad. But apparently, it would destroy the world to have that much crazy in one race. Dammit. :(

dg

[SharonRB]

11. Actually, Medina/White in the general would have been good

We could have pulled that one off.

[Patsy Stone]

14. I'm sorry

but did I completely miss the hamster ad? Is it anywhere as wonderful as Carly's demon sheep?

Ooh, you're right. That would have been some good TV right there.

[WolverineDG]

17. it was on MSNBC yesterday, Schuster's show

and it's O.M.G. Triple Z Crazzzy! :crazy: :rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

31. LOL!

Just went and found it. That was ridiculous. She was running on restoring state sovereignty. Oh... :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

32. got a link?

I tried to find it on youtube, but failed. :(

dg

[Patsy Stone]

35. Yes, ma'am!

[Berry Cool]

54. OMG, how cheesy.

That's like if I made a commercial using my cats.

[SharonRB]

7. Hola!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

12. ...

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

13. Did you guys hear about Eric Massa?

Either he's got terminal cancer or he's been harrassing male aides. Or both. Either way, he's not running for re-election. Too bad. He was one we could count on and his district is pretty red.

[Botany]

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

Bad enough that Mitch McChinless is a bald faced liar ..... "i am just warning you
so you can protect democratic seats." ...... but that rug/ weave he is sporting is pretty
bad.

BTW the vast majority of Americans support health care reform ..... the Frank
Luntz line ..... Americans are opposed to HCR is pure b.s..

[Patsy Stone]

23. Frank Luntz: Enemy of the People.

Look, she's been inspired by reading: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7837795

[SharonRB]

16. Yay -- one of my senators is coming up.

[SharonRB]

18. JUST VOTE!

Says Debbie.

[SharonRB]

19. Well, it either takes a majority

or the Supreme Court.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Yeah.

I really hope all this obstructionism is sinking in out there.

[SharonRB]

21. Me, too.

The far right, Tea Party, types are a lost cause, but I hope the people in the middle are paying attention.

[SharonRB]

22. You're right, Debbie

You speak for me.

[SharonRB]

24. That air traffic controller should have been fired on the spot

not suspended.

[bleever]

26. Don't blame the father; I know who really let that kid direct air traffic:

A great movie, that I finally got to sit down and watch.





:hi:

[Berry Cool]

28. "Life is an air flight--and a lot of poor sons of bitches are stuck in coach!"

Oh dear... :eyes:

[SharonRB]

29. What movie is that?

[bleever]

34. "Auntie Mame".

Rosalind Russell is faaaaabulous, and the fashions and interiors are to die for.

[SharonRB]

37. Thanks.

I don't think I ever saw it. Was there an incident with a child air traffic controller?

[WolverineDG]

39. No, but Mame had some, er, "interesting" ideas in child raising

I don't want to spoil the movie for you, so I won't say what. :)


dg

[Patsy Stone]

40. No

She was just a very eccentric and wonderful aunt. See it. It's marvelous.

[bleever]

41. No, but one of her iconic lines

is "Life's a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!"

[Berry Cool]

44. And the original was "most sons of bitches."

That was quite the auntie!

[WolverineDG]

36. Auntie Mame

Mame was the musical version, starring Lucille Ball. I finally read the book & wow, was that family weird.

dg

[Berry Cool]

45. Miss Gooch was kinda like Margaret Carlson

Especially if she got pregnant after a wild night with Keith.

"...I LIVED!!!!!!!"

[Patsy Stone]

47. Sometimes I call my kitty

The Gooch. :)

[Botany]

30. JFK airport ... many planes .... a child giving air traffic control instructions ..

..... what could go wrong?

[ralps]

27. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[Berry Cool]

33. Hi ralps!

:hi: I gotta say...kids are charming and cute (some of them, anyway)...but so are puppies and kittens, and I would not want puppies and kittens giving air-traffic control instructions for my plane.

What's next in cuteness?

"Hey, everybody! For all of today, I'm gonna give all my air traffic instructions to the pilots in LOLcat!!!!! 'You can has clearance? Meow!'"

[ralps]

46. Hi Berry Cool!

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

[SeattleGirl]

38. Hi everyone!

Catching the last part of the show while enjoying Thai food. :9

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

52. Damn, you had to make me envy you.

Didn't ya?

[SharonRB]

42. She can't even do standup

What is she good at? So far, I haven't seen anything.

[Patsy Stone]

43. Sarah should stick to the stand up

and stay far away from politics. The world would be a much safer place.

[PSzymeczek]

56. She's not a comedian,

but she IS a joke!

[SharonRB]

48. "The security code is stil 1-2-3-4 from when I was president."

:rofl:

I haven't seen this part before.

Love Michele lifting weights.

[Patsy Stone]

49. "When I put the Iraq War on my credit card

I didn't realize I was paying 28%. That's astronomical." :rofl:

[SharonRB]

50. Is that Jim Carrey?

[Patsy Stone]

51. Yes

A thin, scary Jim Carrey. Sorry; that rhymed.

[Berry Cool]

53. That was funnier than Sarah.

Her only funny joke was the one about seeing the giant inflatable moose and realizing she forgot to fix dinner for the kids.

[Patsy Stone]

55. "These are the jokes, folks!"

It was painful to watch her plodding through it, but I still think we'd be better off if she just stayed on Comedy Central.
