LOEB Meeting: 03/16/10 -- Light Snacks, Water, and Coffee Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Shouldn't the Congresscritters have greeted the Tea Baggers with tea and crumpets?



:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy! Now, that would have been great!

Can a law be passed to make it illegal for an elected official to LIE?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. I'm sure there's one or two out there

Enforcement, not so much. :hi:

This is probably what the other teabagger protests would have looked like without all the corporate cash.

[Patsy Stone]

3. What will happen in GD/GDP tomorrow

when Dennis is a Yes? :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

6. I'm not going near it, but I'm sure I'll hear the sound of a thousand

heads exploding. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

14. There are already seven threads about it.

Yes. Seven.

[SeattleGirl]

19. I'm sure there will be a lot more before the night ends, and

then a gazillion of them tomorrow after the press conference tomorrow.

Hmmmm, when did DU start standing for Dennis Underground?

[Patsy Stone]

22. You didn't hear?

;)

[SeattleGirl]

24. I didn't get the memo, but I did figure it out pretty quickly

after the second day of all those threads.

[RevCheesehead]

33. During the primaries.

And there we were, thinking it would come down to Obama, Clinton, and Edwards. :eyes:

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Yeah, silly us.

Hi Rev!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

39. Hi SG!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

65. My head will be one of them.

And I'll say: "Yea, Dennis!"

:hi: Late tonight, just got back from downtown after helping an ex-coworker celebrate her new job at yet a third place. Maybe good luck rubs off??

[Patsy Stone]

72. I hope it does!

Look; here's a troll trying to stir the pot: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7932848

[RevCheesehead]

77. Best reply so far:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7932848&mesg_id=7932858

[SeattleGirl]

79. That one cracked me up.

[Berry Cool]

93. Dennis Kucinich...he's magically default-licious!

[Patsy Stone]

Yeah!

What if accidently the whole thing?? :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

81. Oh yeah, like Dennis is gonna resign.

Bwahahahahhaha. :rofl: Who's gonna replace him? Drew Carey??

[Patsy Stone]

96. There was a Kids in the Hall sketch

called Premise Beach. It was set in a 50s surfer film, complete with surf guitar music and green screen surfing by the Kids. Every couple of seconds, one would scream out, "Premise! Beach! "What if...?!" And then, a la Laugh In, the music would stop, the camera would zoom in, and one of them would throw out a ridiculous plot line.

That's sort of what GD and GDP has become these days.

[Botany]

7. when Dennis is a Yes?

St Paddy's Day in the AM.

[RevCheesehead]

37. Around here, the bars are opening at 5 a.m.

I just found out.

BTW, isn't that chick wearing the white see-though thing Keith's daughter girlfriend?

[SeattleGirl]

40. Ooooh, Rev, what a great sense of snark you have, my dear!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

46. Yeah... I have to, apparently, cover for Berry.

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

73. No, you don't, but you did beat me to it.

For that, I owe you:

[RevCheesehead]

78. Eeek!

Where the hell did you find THAT? :P

[Berry Cool]

95. You'd be amazed what's on Google Images.

C'mon, it HAD to be green. I'm sure the contents are still nice and brown.

[Patsy Stone]

45. Hmm... Separated at birth?

LOL!

Happy almost St. Patty's Day! :hi:

[WolverineDG]

51. You know, I'm waiting for someone to post that it's racist for Irish to wear green

& get smashed tomorrow. Remember all those poor white Yankees who cried themselves to sleep over the facts that black people don't mind eating fried chicken during African American History Month? :eyes:

waiting.....waiting.....waiting......

dg

[RevCheesehead]

53. I would pay you $100 to do it.

If I had $100 to spare, that is. And then, I would post "was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" ;)

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

58. LOL

:spray: :lol:

but that would hijack the thread & you'd be accused of being an elitist snob for using an in-joke designed to make fun of those who were born after Animal House came out, or some dumb shit like that. I actually had that as a response once &, well, the replies to that were fun.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

61. Someone bothered to type that?

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

99. yes, you know the malcontents

always got to find SOMETHING to whine about.

:hi:

dg

[Berry Cool]

66. Bot, did we really need another picture here

of Katy Tur in her college years? :hide:

[RevCheesehead]

70. You owe me a Coke.

:rofl:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

76. See upthread.

Also, I just figured out: it can't be Katy Tur. She would've worn a black bra underneath.

[Patsy Stone]

89. Thank you!

[Botany]

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

Fox News was saying "tens of thousands" expected ...... the tea baggers 1,500 to 2,000
NPR and CNN about 300 people


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7930173

[SeattleGirl]

8. Republicans are worse at math than I am.

:rofl:

[Botany]

10. I was sick so I watched part of Fox this afternoon (15 minutes)

no crowd shots but stories that phones were busy.

300 = Tens of Thousands.

[SeattleGirl]

12. They just lie and lie and lie, don't they?

I'm so tired of it.

[bleever]

13. Tens of thousands of brain cells, maybe.

:eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Don't you have the Game Show Network?

Sorry you're sick. :(

[bleever]

29. There are more educational shows on in the daytime.

[Botany]

49. Fox was great because they were trying to make chicken salad out of ..

... chicken shit.

You could smell the flop sweat ....... "The phones are busy ..... The phones are busy"

[PSzymeczek]

101. According to Howard Fineman

dozens.

[RevCheesehead]

43. That was a typo.

Supposed to read "tens OR thousands."

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

9. I ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

15. Hi SeattleGirl!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

20. Hi, ralps!

Happy Tuesday! Meow, Crook!

[bleever]

11. ...four or five Pringles or a tiny cup of almonds?

Oh wait, wrong story: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4309036

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Yikes!

I thought it was bad when I was stuck on the tarmac in a plane that needed a last minute repair, but that was nothing compared to what those folks had to go through.

Geez, if they were transferred to a bus, why in the HELL couldn't the bus stop for a few so people could get an actual meal?

Sometimes I think the airlines are actually prisons, and the flight attendants are the guards. x(

[Berry Cool]

88. That's how they treat you now on a plane.

Next time I fly, I hope Jesus is one of the flight attendants. I understand he can make five loaves and two fishes go pretty far.

[Botany]

18. So who will be the first to yell "Get in the hole!" after Tiger hits the ball?

Hiring Ari doesn't really help Tiger.

BTW I have a customer who had some dealings w/ Tiger and his entourage .... He was a first class asshole.

[bleever]

21. DUzy!

:rofl:

[Botany]

28. Get in the hole!

I bet a certain skanky radio show host will use that joke tomorrrow.

[bleever]

32. You're a bad influence.

:fistbump:

[Berry Cool]

90. Yah, she'd NEVER come up with this stuff without his help!

[SeattleGirl]

23. I do NOT get that at all. When I heard he had hired Ari, my

first thought was, "Geez, Tiger, aren't you in enough trouble already?"

[Patsy Stone]

25. But look who he has to make nice with.

Corporate (read: Right Wing) assholes. It might be a genius move.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Hmmmmm, you have a point there.

[Patsy Stone]

50. BTW, there's already

a locked DK thread. Oddly (or, not really) it happened to be an anti-DK thread. Then, in true DU fashion, we have the thread calling out the Mods for locking the first thread. Ah, life.

[Botany]

34. The truth means nothing to Ari

It is all about managing the message .... remember the Iraq war was a product to "roll out" just like
a new line of cars or a condo development.

BTW I :loveya: Debbie Stabenow

*****

The Master is the perfect place for Tiger because it is a totally controlled environment.

[SharonRB]

74. You can't have her

She's mine! She's been looking great lately.

[WolverineDG]

47. How many girls are going to fall out of trees this time

if Tiger hits them instead of the green? ;)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

54. Remember Ari was hired by Ted Thompson

to work out the Brett Favre thing. See how good that turned out, eh?

[RevCheesehead]

27. What's all this I hear about a "Demon Pass?"

It sounds like hell. :hi:

[SharonRB]

30. Hi, everyone

I was stuck in the kitchen finishing up dinner and cleaning up.

Debbie looks good.

[Patsy Stone]

38. In your brand new kitchen!

She looked great. How's the new car? Did you name it yet? :hi:

[SharonRB]

82. I haven't named this one.

Agent 100 maybe?

[SeattleGirl]

86. How about Half Pint?

:)

[SharonRB]

97. Well, the last one was Agent 99, so I thought Agent 100 might work

However, since it's white, like milk, half pint might work, too.

[Botany]

42. I just heard her .... but didn't see her

She is really smart and well spoken.

Trade Ohio will give you a John Boner & a Schmidt for Debbie.

[SharonRB]

83. Hmmmmmm.....

computer says no!

[SeattleGirl]

44. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

85. Hi, SG

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

31. I believe

Keith predicted Tiger would be back in time for The Masters.

[SharonRB]

35. I made a HUGH mistake and posted Nancy's blog post

in GD Pee (Pats, you were right, of course) today. After the first couple of nice comments it fell apart. It could use some love if you guys would go over there and read it and maybe make a nice comment if you agree with her. You can also read it at her blog and comment at http://www.nancyskinnerlive.com.

Thanks!

[WolverineDG]

41. They weren't properly dressed

some of them were wearing jeans. big no-nos at High Tea. (and yes, I've had High Tea, at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC, so I know whereof I speak.)

:hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

48. May I just take a moment to say,

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Sorry, I love my job, but I am so overwhelmed with work right now I don't know which end is up. It's a good thing I can also work at home; otherwise, I would be living in my office 24/7.

[SeattleGirl]

52. They are attacking an eleven-year-old?

They have absolutely no shame. I'd like to ban their asses from the country! :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

56. Rush is a scumbag.

Where is Chris Hayes standing? A model apartment? A fancy hotel room?

[CBHagman]

100. They've done it before, too.

Their MO is to kick people who are already down. Remember what they pulled with Graeme Frost during the attempt to expand SCHIP? See Paul Krugman's column, from 2007, at the link below.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/12/opinion/12krugman.html

Two weeks ago, the Democratic response to President Bush’s weekly radio address was delivered by a 12-year-old, Graeme Frost. Graeme, who along with his sister received severe brain injuries in a 2004 car crash and continues to need physical therapy, is a beneficiary of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Mr. Bush has vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded that program to cover millions of children who would otherwise have been uninsured.

(SNIP)

First, some background. The Frosts and their four children are exactly the kind of people S-chip was intended to help: working Americans who can’t afford private health insurance.

(SNIP)

Graeme Frost, then, is exactly the kind of child the program is intended to help. But that didn’t stop the right from mounting an all-out smear campaign against him and his family.

Soon after the radio address, right-wing bloggers began insisting that the Frosts must be affluent because Graeme and his sister attend private schools (they’re on scholarship), because they have a house in a neighborhood where some houses are now expensive (the Frosts bought their house for $55,000 in 1990 when the neighborhood was rundown and considered dangerous) and because Mr. Frost owns a business (it was dissolved in 1999).

Krugman goes on to name some of those who participated in the smear: Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, the office of Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

This is what these bastards do.

[Botany]

55. Glen is not only nasty but an idiot too

The Soviet Union was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
China is the People's Republic of China
East German was the GDR (The German Democratic Republic)

Did he ever learn anything about anything?

[SeattleGirl]

57. Everything he knows, he pulled directly from his ass.

[Botany]

59. Sometimes I forget that Beck, Hannity, and Rush are all College drop outs/

flunk outs. And yet they talk down Obama who was top of his class @ Harvard Law and
Professor of Constitutional Law @ the U. of Chicago.

[Patsy Stone]

60. Mark Levin

is Phi Beta Kappa, so they all share his brain.

[Botany]

62. He is the man who feeds Hannity hi talking points

That is why stations that run Hannity often run Levin.

BTW if he is so smart why did he support the Iraq war?

[SeattleGirl]

63. I know. I think they actually resent the fact that he's one of the

sharpest knives in the drawer, so they have to kick at him at every chance they get, which unfortunately is 24/7.

[Botany]

69. He is black too.

And Rich, good looking, a best selling author, has a hot wife, and great kids.

It must really stick in their craw.

[SeattleGirl]

75. Probably gives 'em nightmares.

[RevCheesehead]

68. I'd be willing to bet that all those "fellas"

have little itty-bitty, um, "egos."

[SeattleGirl]

71. LOL!

[Botany]

80. Rush can't even see his "ego"

Obama is more of a man then they could ever be ..... BTW both Hannity and Rush are
acts .... they know what they are saying is crap ...... Beck really is nuts.

[RevCheesehead]

91. DAY-um!!

You find the best pictures!! :9

[Botany]

98. I know

[SeattleGirl]

64. Auto Erratica?

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Lady, the media shouldn't be in ANYBODY'S corner. They should

be OBJECTIVE. Unfortunately, I know I'm whistling into the wind here.....

[Botany]

84. A journey down under? Snort

Get in the hole!

[Berry Cool]

92. Yikes.

There's fire in THAT hole. :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

94. You know, we really need a couple of new smileys.

Right now, I'm wanting one which douses the other with a bucket of cold water. ;)

[bleever]

87. Das Limpet!

Go away, Ari! Far away!
