2. I'll just talk to myself, then; shall I?

Jonathan, I have to agree with you. This is a bad move on the administration's part. I konw Fineman thinks it was to make the CIA happy, but that's just a really sucky reason. For the first time, the prez has bummed me out. :(

4. I am in the same place as you as far as being bummed out.

:-( Very much so.

You know, like I said, I really wanted Keith to take time off, but now, after hearing this news, I want to lash him to his damn chair. We NEED him.

In fact, I think this calls for a Special Comment.

It's nice to see him, and I still can't get over how together he appears.

8. Same here, on both counts.

I think change.gov needs to hear from me.

And I just look at Keith and think...dear God, I hope you don't pay for this later.

The thread is so short this far into the show!

Sorry I haven't been around much. When I get home, I wind up having a lot of computer stuff to do for the show.

:hi: The end of the show should be fun. At least less depressing than the beginning.

I refuse to be an Obama pessimist, but if he's going to go only for putting the programs he wants in place and forfeit principle, he's going to hear from me. I thought the programs were based ON his principles.

16. Heads- up for Nancy's show tomorrow

Jane Hamsher will be on at the top of the show to talk about this: http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2009/04/04/bailed-out-bank-jp-morgan-dooming-chrysler/#more-3894

Chase wants Chrysler to fail and there's a big grassroots effort starting to get people in Michigan to close their Chase accounts. Wish I had one to close. Nancy has three. I talked to Jane and she's going to write a diary and promote the heck out of this one.

26. Wasn't Virginia Foxx...

...the one who bad-mouthed government employees in general, implying that public service was undesirable, even illegitimate? I just went searching for the quote but couldn't quite find it...

Anyway, the whole thing stinks like GOP hell.

She is my neighbor and as good as it gets.

I just saw the tail end of the spot ..... were the repugs trying shit?

Please give me 5 minutes w/ them. BTW KIlroy is nobody's fool.

30. I would be proud to have her for my congresscritter.

I can only hope Marcia Fudge isn't putting up with this crap.

And yes, the Repugs are trying shit. Using the veterans' knowledge of the rules to fluster freshmen and talk over them and take back their own time on the floor so they can't get a word in edgewise. Bullies.

44. The so were what?

If they were trying to "trip up" Mary Jo they picked the wrong EDV.

She is or has been a lawyer, been on the school board, county commissioner,
helped run a non profit, worked for the human society (saved thousands of dogs),
been on the board of directors of some businesses, and wants me to landscape
her house.

Berry saw her the same day she became BFFs w/ Jennifer Brunner.

She was very cool and offered KO her condolences on his mom's passing. Very classy.

48. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Thanx ..... she is classy.

I was at a rally to protest starting the 7th year of the Iraq war a vet w/
real emotional problems broke down crying in my arms ..... he needed
help and wasn't getting any .... I saw Mary Jo and asked if she could
help him. She listened to his problems and then got his # ... later on
Mary Jo told me she got him into the V.A. system ..... she wasn't in
Congress @ the time and the guy was from 50 miles away but she
helped him.

29. Ian Richardson's birthday as lead-in to Oddball.

I love it that Keith gave a shout-out to the late Ian Richardson, the brilliant actor who had an absolute field day playing the deliciously evil British politician Francis Urquhart (Note those initials!) in the House of Cards trilogy.

His credits, as per IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007183/

That's assuming they actually DO the show and don't get lost somewhere in the basement trying to find the stage door.
