LOEB Meeting 3-25-10: Yes We Cantor Edition.

[bleever]

:hi:

In a gesture of bipartisanship, here's LO with the late Ron Silver:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi bleev! Great title!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

2. bitch loves her insurance company?

sounded more like some hypocritcal hag on Medicare to me.

oh, & uh, :hi:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Wolvie!

That's what I was thinking too.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. People hate your f@#!%king face.

That sounds like a line from a Limp Bizkit song. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hi Pats!

I'm surprised she didn't add, "And your mother wears combat boots!"

[SharonRB]

3. What is the matter with these

f&*$#ing people?

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Sharon!

I believe they have truly lost their minds. They are operating with their lizard brains only, and are blinded by their hatred. They are scary, and they are very, very sad bags of protoplasm.

[SharonRB]

11. Hi, SG

I totally agree.

[WolverineDG]

10. they're f#@&$ing crazy

:crazy:

brainwashed racist assholes who have the mental maturity level of a 2 year old.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

13. I don't know, Wolvie. My nephew was more mature than

these people when he was 2.

[WolverineDG]

16. I know; these tantrums would make 2 years olds blush

wish there was a "grow the fuck up" pill we could make them take.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

17. No kidding.

[PSzymeczek]

82. Hell, I was more mature when I was 2

than these "people."

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hell no you, Cantor!

:hi:, ya'll!

[Patsy Stone]

9. Ladies and germs

Please do not miss: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=447360&mesg_id=447360

[Berry Cool]

28. Oh man, I love her.

Wasn't she in The 40-Year-Old Virgin too? She's a riot.

One question, though: Why is it that whenever people on either coast want to create a TV series or a movie about a group of quirky, geeky Midwestern people, they have to set it in Ohio?

[Patsy Stone]

30. She sure was

Also great in Talladega Nights and so many, many other things.

[Berry Cool]

33. Oh yeah, she was in that too!

Damn, that was a funny movie.

[Patsy Stone]

36. "Formula Une"

As Sasha Baron Cohen said.

That movie was much better than it needed to be.

[SeattleGirl]

38. And "Best in Show"

Plus she plays Dr. Spencer Reed's mother on Criminal Minds. She's a schizophrenic who is in a sanitorium in Vegas. She's not on all the time, but when she guests on that show, I love it.

[Patsy Stone]

41. And an excellent, but small, role in Arrested Development

She falls in love with the father, the newly devout Orthodox Jew, while he's in prison.

[SharonRB]

66. Hysterical!

I've never seen Glee, but I love her.

[ralps]

12. Hi bleever! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

14. Hi ralps!

:hi:

[ralps]

15. Hi SeattleGirl!!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

18. Why is Melissa Harris-Lacewell listed as being from "The Nation"?

Have I missed something?

[SharonRB]

19. I think she's writing for them now

She's also still a professor.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Another reason to finally get a subscription

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

23. These people are completely unhinged.

:hi: Trying to watch this and the Syracuse-Butler game at the same time, but I may have to stick to this because the game is making me nauseous. The 'Cuse is the next #1 seed going down, and they are going down hard. More turnovers than a bake shop. Boeheim is staring at his team in utter disbelief. It's like there's grease on the ball and only Butler players can hold onto it. Horrible.

When I can stand looking at Boehner's orange more than at that Orange, things are bad.

[WolverineDG]

48. Nnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooo

there goes my 2nd chance bracket! :cry:

dg

[Berry Cool]

61. Well, all is not lost yet

but I picked 'em to win so we're doooooooomed. :-(

[SharonRB]

21. I was away from a computer for hours this afternoon

Did the House vote again on the reconciliation bill yet?

[Patsy Stone]

22. I think it's now-ish.

The Senate did its thing earlier.

[SeattleGirl]

24. They are voting on agreeing to the resolution right now.

[SharonRB]

26. 225-199

Just flipped over to the 'span in time to see the final vote announced.

[SharonRB]

25. I'm shocked, I tell you

that Blanche and Ben voted no. What's up with Pryor?

[Patsy Stone]

27. Blah, Blah, Blah...

http://www.politico.com/livepulse/0310/Pryor_Lincoln_vote_together.html

[SharonRB]

29. Seriously.

They even voted for some of the Repuke amendments? Sheesh!

[Berry Cool]

31. They voted together.

Aww, isn't that special.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Wal-Mart

must be very proud of them. :puke:

[SharonRB]

35. I'm sure they are.

Larry -- the House proceedings are o-v-e-r.

[CBHagman]

80. For you, darling.

"I'm shocked, shocked!"

[SharonRB]

32. Get with the program, Howie

They're done voting.

[SharonRB]

37. Hmmmm...maybe I was wrong

Maybe what I saw was a procedural vote. They're still debating. Enough already!

[Patsy Stone]

39. Ten more minutes

of debate, then the vote.

[SharonRB]

42. People cheering as Pence asks for repeal

Ewwwww...here comes Boehner. Better get back to Countdown.

[Patsy Stone]

43. Run away!

:scared:

Maybe he'll cry.

[SharonRB]

40. Blah, blah, blah

Mike Pence is now asking them to repeal the bill again.

[bleever]

44. Anybody think KO will watch any basketball this evening?

I think I will, just so I can appreciate his reaction to the game.

[SharonRB]

45. ...

:cry:

[SeattleGirl]

47. I know.

:cry:

Bless your soul, Teddy.

[rocktivity]

46. A moment of silence for Ted Kennedy

and no one yelled, "You lie?"

:wow:
rocktivity

[Berry Cool]

62. Good thing, too.

Finally, some decorum in the chamber.

[rocktivity]

78. I've seen more decorum in a day care center.

"All right, boys and girls, stop running around and take your seats...No fighting! Stop yelling! It's not your turn to speak! Who's crying? Tell him you're sorry! Time out--go sit in the corner if you can't behave!"

:crazy:
rocktivity

[SharonRB]

49. What a wonderful kid

He's going to go far. He'll do his mother proud.

[SeattleGirl]

52. He's a doll!

[WolverineDG]

50. aw, he's so cute!

and that little smile when he was introduced as a "health care advocate"---squee!!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

51. House voting on final passage

RIGHT FUCKING NOW!11!111!!!

[SeattleGirl]

53. ELEVENS!11!!!1

[SharonRB]

54. Larry's got it up on the side

Well, he did.

[WolverineDG]

56. HEY BONER! YES WE FUCKING CAN!!

CALL CONGRESS!!!!

dg

[SharonRB]

55. And it wouldn't surprise me if Marcelus becomes POTUS someday

I probably won't be around by then to see it, but I'll bet he can do it.

[GigiMommy]

57. Hi Everybody!!! Sorry I'm late.

Cassie and I just saw "Alice in Wonderland".:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

58. Did you like it?

:hi: to you both! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

64. Hi Patsy!!!

Cassie says it was really good. I say it was different, but good.:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

69. Do you like Tim Burton's films in general?

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

74. Cassie does.

I'm warming up to him.

[Berry Cool]

59. Hi GGM!

:hi: Hello to you and Miss Cassie!

Yeah, I think he could be president too. He's such a sweet boy, really. So serious and thoughtful.

[Berry Cool]

65. Oh, and who is not at all surprised Frum lost his job?

That's how it works with the GOP. Tell the painful truth nobody wants to hear, and do they listen anyway, pay heed and profit from the advice? No, they fire you.

[Patsy Stone]

75. He'll be much better off

I have a feeling it's the best thing that's ever happened to him.

[GigiMommy]

67. Hi Berry!!!

:hi: How did a Canadian become Bush's speechwriter?

[SharonRB]

60. Hi, Gigi

Ariana and I want to see it, too.

[GigiMommy]

68. Hi Sharon!!!

I think you'll like it.:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

63. Hi Gigi! How did you and Miss Cassie like it?

I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I liked it, but did walk out of the theater feeling some visual sensory overload. The Red Queen was my fave!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

72. Hi SG!!!

Technically, it was GORGEOUS.:hi:

[SharonRB]

70. Are we going to get 13 of the last 21 Dem votes to be cast?

[Patsy Stone]

73. The other bill had 34 Dem Nays.

I'd be surprised if it got more than that.

[SharonRB]

76. It's done!

Off to Grey's Anatomy.

[bleever]

71. "Frum Heaved to Eternity"

Okay, not my best.

[Botany]

77. The bill is passed; the no EDV left behind bill

[Berry Cool]

79. The one good thing that's happened tonight.

I might as well crumple up my brackets and toss 'em. Syracuse, 5 points behind with only a few seconds left on the clock anyway, TURNS OVER THE BALL YET AGAIN. What the fuck. And another 'Cuse team goes down before even making the group of eight. Pretty typical of 'em, actually.

Time for me to start thinking NBA. Which I really shouldn't, either, because that's going to drive me to the nuthouse too, as I watch the winningest team of them all somehow manage to blow the playoffs and see LeBron pack his bags for New York. *sigh* Yeah, I know I'm an annoying pessimist. But at least it keeps me from being surprised.

I have only one thing left to say: Go Cornell.

[RevCheesehead]

81. My deep condolences to you, my friend.

:hug: Been there, know the disappointment all too well.
