KOEB 3-13-09 - Is there no meeting tonight?

Where is everyone? I miss a few nights and everyone leaves town.

I'm here tonight! :bounce::bounce:
:hi: :hug:

I've been pretty busy this week. :hi:

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. :silly:

How are ya, gf? :hi: :loveya:

I sent my letter to the Bishop yesterday, officially asking for a voluntary leave of absence. I get to be a person again!!! :bounce::bounce:

So, you think the Bishop will grant your request? I think you need some person time!

But it also has to be approved by the Board of Ordained Ministry. who knows what they'll do? (the board usually loves to flaunt its power around - they're such asswipes. :puke: )

:hug:

I :loveya: you!

Love you two, dear Rev. :loveya:

I can buy a house for you to rent. :P And I'm a good landlord---I like pets! :)

And Gigi and Cassie too? :bounce::bounce:

Even if I just move by Dad's, I simply MUST take some vacation time. Meetup at Berry's while I'm on my way to my brother's (in PA)?

Do you think we'll get a touch of spring this week?
The kitties are getting cabin fever, and I'm about the same as them. :)

:hi: and :meow:

I hope so! Hug :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grouphug:

It has an electronic chip in it, and it makes REAL mouse noises whenever you whack it. He's thrilled. :D

I have a pineapple in the fridge, and I'm thinking it needs to be consumed soon. :9

Ah, I can already feel the tropical breeze! :beer:

You wouldn't want to live there, though.

Her website is up now (well, the temporary one). You can go sign up to be on her mailing list. http://www.nancyskinnerlive.com

Podcasting won't be up until the full site is developed.

Also, if you're on Facebook and haven't signed up as a fan yet, go to her fan page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Nancy-Skinner-RadioMedia-Personality-Official-Page/136873715053?ref=nf and click on "Become a fan" under her picture. (Wolvie and Gigi are already fans.)

As of yesterday, Nancy was already off and begone from Sirius XM, replaced by Thom Hartmann.

They were supposed to replace her Monday. Yesterday she was already banished. I didn't even get a chance to call them and ask them to keep her.

We still want people to let them know they want her to stay on. Maybe they can find another station for her. And, yes, we were pissed. I don't know why they took her off two days early to put on reruns of Thom's show. It really sucks.

From what I understand, Dial Global is moving Thom to the 3-6 slot, so he'll be live. I wonder what our local station will do. My guess is we might get Ed live now at noon and Thom live at 3. This means I'll never listen to Thom because I listen to Nancy then and I'll have to figure out what to do from 12-3 because I don't think I can take three hours of Ed everyday.

He reminds me of a hot fudge sundae with mint. :9

Where's Berry? I want to tell her about my latest Keith dream! :evilgrin:

I didn't leave town--I just had to go see my niece in a school play (she was darling).

WTF happened to Keith's show???? :shrug: I'm going to have to download it from iTunes because I set to record the live show (by setting the timer on my VCR and then setting my cable programmer to record the show) and for some reason I have only about the last four minutes of it! It makes no sense at all! And at the end he says "Our apologies for the technical difficulties at the beginning of the show." Yeah...like HAVING NO SHOW UNTIL THE LAST FOUR MINUTES?? Is that what the "technical difficulties" were?

I don't get it. :cry:

Oh CRAP...I think I know what the problem is...my shitty VCR. Well, I can't really blame this on my VCR being shitty, but I can blame it on Bush...because he had to change the damn time Daylight Saving Time starts, and I haven't had to set my timer since then, and my machine DOES automatically adjust but it only adjusts to when DST used to start...NOT WHEN IT STARTS NOW!!!!!!!!! My cable box of course automatically adjusts, but my recorder doesn't!

I am sick at heart. But most of all, I HATE MYSELF FOR FORGETTING THIS.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry::cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Thank God for podcasts.

Did they write "free-dumb institute"?? :rofl:

What a crock of BS!

part of the Methodists! Grr :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

Spot on, sir!

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

Not good.

He's actually gone further so far criticizing Cramer on his show than he ever has criticizing any of his NBC family stablemates before--he's done it twice--and he may be getting heat from the network. I'd still think, though, that if anyone at MSNBC could get away with talking about the Jon Stewart dressdown, he could.

Updated to add: Ah, so the story is, the MSNBC PRODUCERS were asked not to cover this. Interesting.

So this is the first time Keith has had to deal with a "story my producers are forcing me NOT to cover."

Chances are, if he wanted to cover it and they went along with him, they'd be fired. HE wouldn't be, but THEY would be.

Crappy situation.

on Kos.



Also he was at a Mets game all day.

1. I don't believe him.

2. His being at a baseball game, while entirely believable, is a lame excuse for ignoring the story. If there was a major earthquake on the West Coast, or someone (God forbid) took a shot at Obama, or a plane crashed in Texas and 300 people died, would he have ignored that? "I'm sorry, I was at a baseball game."

No, this doesn't fly. Especially when you consider the times he's taken Billo and others to task for not calling out their own networks. And it's not as if he didn't have time last night to talk about it. He could have skipped that whole "Worst Person of the Week" crap for this. I can't believe he's going back to that well. It didn't work with Oddball and it won't work with this.

I will be watching his Monday show with bated breath. Because by then, I expect there to be a lot more talk about this, and for Keith to look even more bizarre by remaining silent, if he chooses to do so.
