KOEB Meeting: 04/26/10 -- It's Fascism; But it's a Dry Kind of Fascism

[Patsy Stone]

:hi: How are ya all? (I stole that title from SNL, btw)

Congrats to Mel Brooks for his long overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. :loveya:, Mel! Here's my contribution to the "Decision Points" cover contest.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsela! Is this the "official" show thread for today?

:hi:

Like your book cover, btw!

[Patsy Stone]

2. If we say it's official

it's official. Who will argue? :hi: There are so many good ones around DU today, but I don't think I saw this one. It's still not my favorite picture of Dim Son, though. That's the one with the inside out umbrella.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Is there a site with other Dimson book covers on it?

[Patsy Stone]

9. Y'know... I don't know.

I didn't have a lot of time for DU today. I wouldn't doubt it for a second though. If there is, I'm pretty sure this one is there already. It's such a classic picture.

[WolverineDG]

7. Decider Guy Points

I prefer the one from China where he tries to walk through a locked door, or the one from the G8 where he's dressed up like a Teletubby.

[SharonRB]

66. So many to choose from!

and so little time to do it.

[WolverineDG]

4. Hecho en Mexico

Okay, I wasn't, but I was born just south of the Nueces River & have heard my whole freakin' life "You were born in Occupied Mexico har har har" thanks to a dispute as to which river you consider to be the southern border of Texas (a whole war was fought over it btw).

SO I FUCKING DARE YOU, NAZIZONA, TO PULL ME OVER & TRY TO DEPORT ME! I will sue you to the Stone Ages & bankrupt you so badly you'll have to sign over the Grand Canyon.

Nazi fuckers.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

5. Preach it, sister!

Hi DG! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. This is the most awful law I've seen in a long time

Just ridiculous.

How are ya? Missed you. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

8. I've been around

:hi: Watching the show, but not live blogging. :)

dg

[WolverineDG]

10. Some alternate covers here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8218209&mesg_id=8218209

apparently it's going to be pages of lists.

And here I thought we'd be lucky for it to be a coloring book.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

11. Thanks Wolvie!

[Patsy Stone]

13. "How did I fuck up the country?"

"Let me count the ways."

"Chapter One: I am born."

Thanks for that link. Those are too funny. How did the world survive him??

[SeattleGirl]

14. LOL, good one Patsy!

[CBHagman]

63. Angela Merkel, among others, is still wondering.

"Hau ab!"

[Patsy Stone]

64. Ick!

Or, maybe, "Ich!" :)

:hi:, CB!

[SharonRB]

67. OMG

That whole thread should be nominated for a DUzy!

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

12. "Pull Me Over" pic

:rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

15. LOL!

See, this is why I missed you!

[Berry Cool]

16. Title and pix are perfect, Pats!

:hi: Keith is already throwing his pen in dismay, and Sherrod Brown is on next. You know it's gonna be a good night! :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

18. Oh, and Keith is tweeting WHILE anchoring, asking for feedback!

He must have been a handful as a child. "Watch me, watch me, Mom, Dad, watch me, watch me..."

[Patsy Stone]

20. I just gave him some feedback

and it was my first Tweet ever. I sent him Wolvie's picture link.

[SeattleGirl]

22. What's your user name on Twitter? Mine is vocqueen.

[WolverineDG]

28. I r now following u

I think you will recognize the name :evilgrin:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

30. You're right, I do recognize it! ;-)

[Patsy Stone]

45. And I found both of you!

I'm your newest follower.

I will get the hang of this internet thing eventually.

[SeattleGirl]

46. Cool! I just followed you back!

[Patsy Stone]

49. I like the fact that I had a "follower"

even though I barely ever logged in. I wonder if it was sort of like that one guy, Tom, who was everyone's first friend My Space? :)

[SharonRB]

68. I think I'm following you

I had a new follower with a tweet about the ladies of DU, so I assumed it was you.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

69. It's me!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

70. I wish I could think of something clever to say to KO so he'd respond to me

or name me TOTD! I keep trying, but haven't come up with anything good enough yet.

[Patsy Stone]

24. And taking pictures of us.

http://yfrog.com/74t9hrj

LOL! He needs to do a show around this time, doesn't he?

[SeattleGirl]

17. Perfect!

Hey, maybe everyone in Arizona who hates this law should put that on their cars, regardless of whether they are Hispanic or not. Police would be running around like the Keystone Kops! :rofl:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

23. Good idea SG.

I can just picture that. :rofl:

All I can say is that I'm sure my two uncles who fought the Nazis in Europe in 1944 & 1945 are spinning in their graves with disgust at this BS law that Arizona passed.

[Patsy Stone]

25. Hey, you!

I'm getting a couple of yellow stars made just in case. :hi:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

33. Patsy, I know you're kidding, right.

Maybe I'll make a couple of green, white and gold stars made too. That'll make it obvious that Mr. Wonderful and myself are Irish-Americans.

[WolverineDG]

26. Oh there's loads of ways to fuck them up

I figured out a couple on another post (& got a :thumbsup: from an AZ attorney :evilgrin: )

1. Call in reports of suspected illegals, giving addresses from the country club, GOP meetings, fundie churches, & chamber of commerce

2. When the cops don't investigate, under this law you can (a) sue them & (b) demand the AZ Attorney General investigate & sue them.

fun times fun times....get 'em running around in circles

dg

[SeattleGirl]

27. I love it!

[WolverineDG]

31. Serves the racist bastards right

that level of stupidity should be illegal, but if not, it should be taxed.

dg

[SeattleGirl]

34. Exactly. The dumber you are, the higher the "stupid" tax you have to pay

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

37. Wolvie, nail meet hammer.

Those suggestions are right on.. Hope someone does it and the assholes in AZ will scream like hell.

[WolverineDG]

44. they aren't kidding when they say this law will bankrupt the state

and while the cops are chasing down suspected illegals & tossing them in jail, no one's out there catching the REAL criminals & if they are caught, there's no room in the jails! :eyes:

dg

[WolverineDG]

35. My friends & I are toying with going to Arizona with no IDs or docs

just to see what happens (cuz if they throw US in INS detention, ka-CHING!)

dg

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

42. Actually Mr. Wonderful and I talked about that too.

He's a naturalized citizen since 1999, but he's got an Irish brogue you can cut with a knife. I have to translate practically everything he says to people in my family.

But we decided against doing that, why give the bastards any of our money. Screw that.

[Patsy Stone]

21. I just sent this to KO on Twitter

Told him it was from us. Didn't mention the ties. :)

[SeattleGirl]

19. Dear Mitch: Um, WHAT?

:crazy:

[Berry Cool]

38. The chinless wonder strikes again.

I am so glad we have Sherrod. I just wish we had Sherrod AND Jennifer.

[RevCheesehead]

29. Just a drive-by hello...

:hi: Hello!
:loveya: (Andy's coming over in a few minutes)

[SeattleGirl]

32. Hi Rev! Bye Rev!

:evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

36. Hi Rev! 'Bye, Rev!

She is having waaaay too much fun. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

40. Yay!

I am soooo happy for you. :bounce: It couldn't happen to a more wonderful person. :loveya:

[Berry Cool]

53. Dear Keith,

While the Rev abandoned you the second she got a real-life boyfriend, I have remained faithful to you. In the face of all evidence to the contrary, I have clung to my substanceless delusions that someday you and I will meet and fall in love. I think I deserve to be rewarded for this. Please name me your #1 favorite stalker. Thank you.

Love,
Berry :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

72. So it is written, so shall it be done.

:thumbsup:

[GigiMommy]

74. Hi Rev!!!

Have fun!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ralps]

39. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

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

[SeattleGirl]

43. Hi ralps!

[ralps]

55. Hi SeattleGirl!!!! Great kitty gif!

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

[SeattleGirl]

58. Glad you like it!

[Berry Cool]

60. I make my cats do that for treats almost every night!

I should put them on YouTube.

[Patsy Stone]

54. Happy Monday, ralps!

Nice to see the two of you. Meow, Crook!

[GigiMommy]

75. Hi Ralps!!!

Love cute kittie!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[WolverineDG]

41. real wives of nj is on next

do I dare get hooked on more crack from bravo?

(& omfg Jill Zarin makes me want to :nuke: I still don't like Bethenny, but fuck it all to hell, at least she acted like a freaking adult-for once)

dg

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

47. Don't feel bad, I'm hooked on the Real Housewives of

Orange County and NYC. The New Jersey ones I just can't get into.

I still don't know why Bethenny is pissed at Jill, I must've missed an episode or two.

I absolutely loathe Vicki on OC and I think Gretchen is great. Vicki should act her age and quit the :woohoo: all the time. She really is annoying.

[WolverineDG]

57. Jill got mad at B because supposedly

she didn't care that Bobby was in the hospital & was sick. B had sent flowers when she heard, was out on a book tour, then had to write a 2nd book in about 4 weeks, Jill sent her a text, B sent an email asking what was going on & Jill ignored her. Meanwhile, Jill is blogging about all the trips she's taking & parties she's going to, nothing about Bobby, but still it's all B's fault. then the whole "Bethenny said I should get a hobby" voice mail contro, which Jill then blasted to everyone & then backstabbed B in the Page 6 column. When B finds out about Bobby having surgery, Jill refuses to talk to her, then when B calls to talk & apologize, Jill puts her on speaker so everyone, including the Countless, can hear & mock her.

:phew: and that's not all. but hey. that's what re-runs are for. :rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

61. I just realized why I don't watch more reality TV, although my sisters do.

My sisters ARE reality TV.

The Real Non-Housewives of Lake County.

[Patsy Stone]

48. YES!

Since you opted out of Jerseylicious (HUGE mistake! LOL!); I think you must. I know I'll be there next week. I'm ready for the table flipping to commence proper.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

50. I did see that episode last year. It was pretty funny.

Maybe I'll watch it while I doing the ironing, I can always DVR Rachel.

[Patsy Stone]

51. It. Is. Delicious.

Yes, I was only joking about the yellow stars. Barely.

[SharonRB]

71. I can't wait!

I was watching some show on Bravo while I was on the treadmill over the weekend, and the guy asked Bethenny which housewife from all of them she'd let babysit her baby, and she and I both immediately said "Caroline." LOL.

[ralps]

52. Today's worst person in the world is Sen. Chuck Grassley! for taking partial credit

for the passage of the Health care reform bill! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

56. Why did everyone decide to call me tonight during Countdown??

Work called. My sister is texting me saying she has a crush on Evan Lysacek (and he's going to be here Friday). And my father is trying to call me again!

Don't these people know...I have PRIORITIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

59. Does anyone remember the old SNL joke on Weekend Update

about the aliens making contact with us for the first time? I think it was Chevy Chase. It was a Time Magazine cover that simply read, "Send More Chuck Berry".

Have a lovely evening, everyone! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

62. You too, Patsela!

Enjoy!

[SharonRB]

65. ROFLMAO

That's the best one yet!

Sorry I missed youse guys. Didn't get home from the gym until after 7 and then had to make dinner, eat and clean up. I watched downstairs away from my computer.

[GigiMommy]

73. Hi Everybody!!!
