KOEB Meeting: 06/23/10 -- McResignation Accepted Edition

[Patsy Stone]

Good riddance to McBad rubbish. :hi:

And it's over for the night: all tied up at 59-59 in the fifth set at Wimbledon. :crazy:

[rocktivity]

1. So he turned in his resignation.

At least he had enough class to do that.

:headbang:

3. Hi rocktivity!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

5. Do you think Obama

already had it sitting on the desk just waiting for his signature? I do. :)

:hi:

[rocktivity]

12. I undertstand their meeting lasted twenty minutes--of course it was a formality

If McChrystal truly is any kind of an officer and a gentleman, he walked in with his resignation letter written, signed, and ready to hand to his ex-CIC-to-be!

:headbang:

2. Yay!!! You're here, Patsy!!!

Good to see you!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hi!

And you're here, too! :bounce: We're here! :)

[SeattleGirl]

6. Yes we are!

:woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

8. So, when do you think

they called Petreus? Was it like the call up from the minors? Get on the plane -- now!

Speaking of the minors, Jeff Loria, the Marlins owner, fired Fredi Gonzalez and two other coaches today. Keith tweeted that he was his friend, but I'm sorry, Keith. I'm glad to see him go. Let's go Fish!

[SeattleGirl]

11. Actually, I think they called Petreus down from the majors,

since he was actually McChrystal's boss, I believe.

[Patsy Stone]

14. Is CentCom over Afghanistan?

I think he has to give up the CentCom job, right? Maybe I should just not be lazy and look this all up. :)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Hmmmmm, I'm not sure.

I should probably look it up too.

[SeattleGirl]

19. Okay, I just did a quick peak at CENTCOM info, and it looks

like he's over a lot of military operations in about 20 countries, with a lot of focus on Iraq. There is some mention of Afghanistan too.

Here's the Wiki link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Petraeus

There is a heading specifically for CENTCOM in the link.

[Patsy Stone]

24. Oops

Your research also shows I misspelled his name. Sorry, General. :blush:

Thanks, I'll read this later. It looks like their focus is the rebuilding and humanitarian aspects of the military. I'm woefully ignorant about the military, I admit it. But I do like the shiny medals and stars and pretty color ribbons.

It's been over nine hours on this one set alone -- over two days. Wow. My legs feel like Jell-o thinking about that. When do they pee?

20. Hi, GG!

Speaking for myself, I am well. How are you and Cassie this evening? :bounce: :hi:

[GigiMommy]

25. Hi Patsy!!! We're good.

You know, Rob would have been over there working Wimbledon. I miss getting the inside scoop on what's going on in sports. I know he would have had lots to say about the Isner-Mahut match.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

29. I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to make you sad. :hug:

It's so crazy, I almost feel like it's my duty to watch it tomorrow.

[GigiMommy]

30. I'm OK.

There's just a TON of sports stories this year that I would have loved to get his read on (Ernie Harwell, Tiger's women, the perfect game that wasn't, doing brackets on March Madness and this epic match). Oh well. I'll keep watching.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi Gigi!

How are you and Miss Cassie today? :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

27. Hi SG!!!

Cassie's curled up under a blanket on the sofa (it's 90 outside) watching her fav show, "Fetch". I doing ok.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Aw. Michelle Obama jumping rope was adorable.

How about a White House Double Dutch contest?

[SeattleGirl]

28. I like that idea!

[Patsy Stone]

31. I watched Gretchen and the Morons this morning

but I heard them say another really stupid thing, not this really stupid thing. Oh, Gretchen... :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

35. Gretchen and the Morons sound like a vintage 60s group.

[Patsy Stone]

36. Oh my goodness! That beard on Keith!

Too damn funny!

You know: they're sort of like a 60s group. They look good, and they sound okay, but you know they didn't write the stuff they're saying.

[GigiMommy]

37. ....

:rofl:

And on Keith's pix: would you go out with that man?

[Patsy Stone]

39. He looks like he should have

owned a 70s conversion van -- with a miniblind on that one big brown tinted side window.

[PSzymeczek]

40. Back then?

Absolutely!

[ralps]

32. Today's worst person in the world is Gretchen Carlson of Fixed Noise! for

comparing her job to the President's job! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

33. Why do stupid people make so much money and I can't find a job?

[SeattleGirl]

34. Good question, Gigi

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you. :(

[Patsy Stone]

38. Or, as Dave Barry called that Ref: "Koman 'Ray Charles' Coulibaly of Mars."
