KOEB Meeting: 11/04/10 -- Defeating Us From Freedom Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, everyone!

[RavensChick]

1. Hi, Pats!

Evening, everyone!

I'm still shaking my head about the elections but at least we can keep the fight going for 2 years!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi RC!

I say we egg on the Rethugs and the Teapartiers, and watch 'em tear each other up! :rofl:

:hi:

[RavensChick]

6. Hi, SG!

The popcorn industry will get one hell of a profit margin on that!

:hi: :popcorn:

[SeattleGirl]

9. No kidding!

Maybe I should buy stock in Orville Reddenbacher!

[RavensChick]

13. LOL! I know what you mean!

At least all is not lost here in Maryland, thank goodness! Martin O'Malley got re-elected as Governor and I'm so glad!!!!

:woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Yay! Here in Washington, Patty Murray (D) has just widened

her lead over Dino Rossi (R-Asshat) so hopefully when the counting's done, she'll still have her senate seat!

[Patsy Stone]

20. Excellent!

:toast:

[RavensChick]

27. Ooh, I hope she wins!!

I got a few friends in VA biting their fingernails off 'cause there's a similar situation in the 11th District.

Keep cross the fingers on all fronts!

[PSzymeczek]

85. That sounds

like a plan to me!

[Patsy Stone]

5. Don't fret

Nothing will happen. I mean that literally.

:hi:

[RavensChick]

12. Good point.

It's early but come January those repukes will be sharpening their claws and attack every reform that's been made.

Then again, if all they've been talking was smack just to get elected, sadly it worked.

[Patsy Stone]

17. "It's never too early for a circular firing squad."

Whatever they pass will die in the Senate, or get vetoed, except for extending the tax cuts.

[RavensChick]

23. I shook my head on that one,

and was like :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: !

I hope President Obama has a shitload of veto pens handy 'cause he's gonna need them!

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy!

You know, as sad as I am that the Dems lost the House, the perverted part of me is kind of licking my chops at the fight hotting up between the Repubs and the Teapartiers. Mwahahahaha!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. It's gonna be fun.

:hi:, SG!

[Patsy Stone]

4. "Glen Beck at his finest."

LOL, Keith. (Beck was completely silent during his clip)

Forget the third most important Republican in Congress, I say, "Michelle Bachmann for President!"

[GigiMommy]

7. Hi Everybody!!!

Welcome to Right Wing World!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi Gigi!

I see you're feeling a little better today. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[GigiMommy]

32. Hi SG!!!

Yes, thanks. Cassie AND Freckles helped greatly, just being themselves. They really do keep me going. Oh, and thank you so much for the hugs.:hi: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

43. Kids and pets can sometimes be a soothing balm.

I'm so glad Cassie and Freckles are doing that for you. :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

11. Don't you mean

Welcome back? :hi:

[GigiMommy]

37. Hi Patsy!!! Yep.

Yer right! "WelCOME back, welcome BACK, WELCOME BACK!!!":hi:

[Patsy Stone]

39. John Sebastian?

[RavensChick]

16. Hi, Gigi!

Looks like us progressives are gonna be second class citizens for a minute!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

41. Hi Raven!!!

Funny, that's not a new thing for me.:hi:

[RavensChick]

53. There's a ugly feel in the air,

and it's republican!!

It's not a new thing for me either so it's all good!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

14. Hi, Pats!

And everyone.

:hi:

I'm just sick to my stomach, but maybe having the GOP in charge again will bring DU back together.

[RavensChick]

19. Hi, Sharon!

You're not the only one. I hope this wakes up DU and we can be on the same page!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi Sharon!

I don't know about that. They're still blaming Obama for everything. :grr:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

24. The GOP is not in charge

they only won the House. The veto and the Senate are each more powerful. :hug:

As for DU, that's gonna take some time. The whole place is blaming each other right now.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

The GOP, unfortunately, is in charge here

They won everything from governor to the Supreme Court to the state House and Senate to attorney general to secretary of state. We're totally screwn.

[Patsy Stone]

30. Oh, you mean Michigan.

In that case, yes. :hug::hug::hug: I feel your pain. I really, really do.

[ralps]

36. & the Repukes won the Governor(Scott Walker) & Russ's seat (Ron

Johnson) here in WI!! Grrr so we're in trouble too! but in some ways I hope the people that voted for the Repukes get buyers remorse!

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

[RavensChick]

40. You too????

Good gracious! I feel your pain, believe me.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

42. Russ's seat

is the one that killed me the most. :hi:

[SharonRB]

47. Yeah, me, too.

So sad.

[ralps]

50. Me too! But I'm hoping Russ Joins w/ some Progressive group like

the DFA! or that he tries to Primary Herb Kohl! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

[RavensChick]

55. I went into shock on hearing that.

Well, I can only hope he'll come back at some point and reclaim some level of sanity.

[GigiMommy]

56. Hi Ralps!!!

I feel your pain too.:hi:

[ralps]

59. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs & thanks!

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

[RavensChick]

31. Ouch.

I'm so sorry you gotta put up with that for 4 years!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Somebody put something in the water in MI

So sorry, Sharon. I knew the Republican had won the governor's race, but hadn't heard the results of the other races.

[RavensChick]

46. I can tell you guys this one:

My family and friends in GA are not happy because their new governor and most of the other officials all went red (repukes = :puke: ).

I can only imagine how Berry feels because I saw on another website that Ohio went red as well.

[RavensChick]

29. True dat!!

I don't even bother going over to GD or GD: Pee Pee anymore 'cause I know they're off the chain blaming the President every time he sneezes wrong or something!

Just reading some of the threads had me like this: :silly: :crazy:

[Patsy Stone]

35. Yes

Oddly, it's like they've never even considered the fact that it's not at all common for one party to control both houses. Given the choice, I'd rather have the Senate. Instead, everyone's blaming everybody, especially Obama.

The RWers who won those seats will show their asses eventually. The Tea Party loonies will go too far.

[RavensChick]

60. Yep, it's gonna be a real fun time for a while.

My heart goes out to the Dems in Kentucky! Good Lord, they're gonna be the laughing stock with that nutjob Rand Paul! Every time he opens his mouth I get the chills!

[CBHagman]

84. Thank you, Patsy.

That's precisely it -- they won the House. The Chinless Wonder, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), appeared at the Heritage Foundation to make a list of demands, sort of like a kidnapper, and I wanted to say, "That's MINORITY leader, Buster."

The media, with certain exceptions, treated the election of Scott Brown as a virtual nullification of the Obama presidency, so of course they were going to overreact to the 'cans winning the House. Fortunately attention spans are short and the holidays are coming up :eyes:, so I expect things will settle down a bit.

[GigiMommy]

49. Hi Sharon!!!

:hi: Did we get rid of Brewer yet?

[ralps]

15. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! & Wow! Here's a Long Kitteh!

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

[SeattleGirl]

22. Hi ralps!

The look on that kitteh's face! :rofl: :hi:

[ralps]

26. Hi SeattleGirl!!!! Yep!!

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

[RavensChick]

25. Hi, Ralps!

WOW!!! That's one tall big kitty!

If Raven gets like that I'm gonna have my hands full for sure! (BTW, he's 7 months old today!!)

[ralps]

28. Hi RavensChick! Yep! & Happy Birthday Raven!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :party: :toast: :bounce:

[RavensChick]

33. Thank you!!!!

I'll tell him if I can get him to sit still long enough.

[RavensChick]

38. Freaky robots.

I prefer them to the repukes.

[SeattleGirl]

45. Dang, I think I am getting the cold MrSG is just getting over.

x(

I'm cooking up a pot of Manischewitz's split pea soup; maybe that will help. I made some of their lentil soup last week, and it was really good.

[Patsy Stone]

48. :)

I grew up with that. Did it come in the plasticy tube?

[SeattleGirl]

52. Yep, it did!

Inexpensive, and DElish!

[Patsy Stone]

54. A mechiah

I like the mushroom barley myself. Bon appetit!

[SeattleGirl]

57. The barley sounds great, but I don't care for mushrooms.

Plus I didn't see any at the store when I got the other two kinds.

[Patsy Stone]

61. You won't even notice the mushrooms

There are only microscopic pieces. It more of a light mushroom flavor.

[SeattleGirl]

65. Oh, okay!

I don't mind the taste of mushrooms so much as the texture. (shivers)

I'll have to check another store and see if I can find the barley soup!

[Patsy Stone]

67. Hey, look!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4601230

[SeattleGirl]

69. Yay!!!! Thanks for the news, Patsy!

There was an update on the Sec of State's website just after 4:30 that showed her lead had widened again from last night. I was going to check it after the next update at 8:00 tonight, but now I don't have to!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[RavensChick]

70. YAY!!

Now you can celebrate, SG!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

72. Absolutely!!!

Now I hope Dino goes away forever!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

73. Hurray!

[SeattleGirl]

76. Indeed!

[RavensChick]

63. Split pea soup sounds real good right now!

It's been cold and raining in the DC area all day. At least I got a flu shot at work today so I'm ready for anything!

[SeattleGirl]

66. This stuff is great. Cooks in an hour.

And like I said, the lentil soup I made last week was soooooo good, so I expect the split pea will be as well.

[RavensChick]

75. On a cold, rainy night,

that sounds even better!

[SeattleGirl]

58. Oh goodie goodie!! Lewis Black is comin' on!

I just love that guy!

[RavensChick]

64. YES!!!!!!!

With all the post-election laments we need a little pick-me-up.

[Patsy Stone]

62. "Defending us from freedom"

Okay, I misheard it originally, but I like mine better. :blush:

[RavensChick]

68. I like yours better too!

Look on the bright side: at least Keith will have tons to spaz on with his Special Comments and everything else for a good while!

[Patsy Stone]

71. "She's on the Still Learning Channel"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

74. I wish he would do another comedy special!

He just totally cracks me up! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

79. I've seen him in person

and he was a freakin' riot.

[SeattleGirl]

82. Oh, you lucky girl!

I would love that!

I got to see George Carlin live 3 times, and he was also great!

[RavensChick]

77. I love that one too!

:rofl: :rofl:

[SharonRB]

80. Alvin Greene got 30%?

Huh?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

81. Yep

:rofl:

On the other hand, whoever runs against Ileana Ros-Lehtinen gets 30% without any campaigning. Scooby Doo: 30% guaranteed.

[RavensChick]

83. I was surprised at that one!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

78. "I didn't do drugs. I didn't do drugs."

:rofl: :rofl:
