COUNTDOWN - on now (11 pm central)

Since MSNBC didn't air it at its regular time.

Allison's on, wearing her very green shirt.

1. It's also showing on my TV, which is in the Eastern time zone. And it...

... doesn't say "Live."

Is Alison on a TAPED Countdown???

2. I don't know what's going on.

But it certainly has all the contents from the newsletter, doesn't it?

So, what do you say, WG? You up for a while?

3. Yeah, I'm usually up late.

This, I have to say, has been a dizzying evening on MSNBC! :crazy:

5. I turned off the baseball thing and wrote a nasty e-mail to Keith's staff.

I was nice to them, and asked if they would forward it to whomever made the programming decisions for MSNBC.

If I get a reply, I'll be glad to share it with everyone.

10. Corporate Media Whoredom.

What are journalistic priorities? What does it mean that all the serious legislative actions of this week have been virtually ignored, and instead we get Court TV and C-SPAN?

I am not a happy camper.

8. Oddball coming up next.

Opening of show: what else? Baseball.

#2 - the search for Jessica. Focus on some guy (a registered sex offender). Police assure us that they haven't stopped looking for her, and are considering any and all leads which come up.

For the guys: Allison's hair is down. She is wearing a bright green shirt, which, IMO, would have been offset nicely with a scarf.

Obligatory :loveya: to Keith, who was momentarily yanked away from his vacation. But the man still blogs, even then...

9. Oddball:

Political fighting - literally, where legislators storm the leaders.

Some Guiness World Record attempt..

The Virgin Mary Roasting Pan. Image of the BVM burned into a roaster.

The voice of Lucky the Leprechaun is not Irish.

and, some guy ran for mayor - unopposed - and lost. Loser of the year.

11. #3 - The plot to kidnap Baby Letterman.

This guy apparently knew a lot of information on Dave, had a key to his house... Very creepy.

Note that they're blocking out Harry's face in the photo.

20. Did you get the same feeling I did when Harvy said...

... that there are just a lot of weird people stalking celebrities right now?

Don't I have enough anxiety ALREADY???

39. That's why my serenade was being held in Central Park --

Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 01:09 AM by WhirlyGirl

-- but it would be obvious whom the songs were for...

I mean -- "Somewhere Olber the Rainbow"? "Bridge Olber Troubled Water"?...

I'd hoped he'd be able to hear it from his window, while those safety orange shower curtains were still out there.

Oops!-- need some of these... :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

13. Oh, you said "temp,"

I first read "tramp." (sorry, guys!)

I don't care for that greenish necklace. I still think a scarf would look much nicer.

15. Monica's doing a good job in reporting this story.

I'm impressed. She's actually pretty good - when she isn't busy flirting with Keith.

23. Oh, now...

... She's trying to be a serious journalist instead of the "society" reporter. I give her credit -- and I think Keith is trying to see she gets more substantive stories to cover. Last week she did the British Gitmo story, which was pretty gritty for our Gidge!

Thumbsup for Gidget graduating to a REAL surfboard! :thumbsup:

21. #2 - Iditarod and the blind racer.

She dropped out because her dogs were getting sick.

Apparently, she has some vision - but in black and white, and blurry.

24. And now more MJ crap.

Housekeeper says the kids, lacking an authority figure, were wild, and appeared intoxicated.

Now, Martha.

and Lil Kim. Convicted of lying to a grand jury.

Good to know we're safe from these evil women.

37. Well, I think I'm going to turn in.

Gotta get up early for that big winter storm warning tomorrow. (Note: this is yet ANOTHER Friday/day off ruined by snow. :( )

Thanks, Whirly, and Patsy, for showing up. I'm sure Keith is now assured of who is REAL fans are.

Keith: :loveya: - get back on your vacation, will ya???? And next time, DON'T give them your phone number.

PS - would you like to vacation in WI? You could get snow-bound, and I'll take care of your achin' back. O8)
