LOEB Meeting 3/8/10: Is Anybody Home? Edition

:hi:

:hi:

Trying to multi-task.

Ken Starr?

Yep, Ken Starr.

Can't stand the guy, but if wants to take a swipe at the Spawn of Darth Cheney, he can have at it!

:hi:

:hi: Stitching and watching.

Yeah, who woulda thought Ken Starr might be the one to save us from the evil that is Liz Cheney? :shrug:

Ah, Dennis, Dennis. So willing to fall on his sword for a principle. Trouble is, he falls on the sword and it's the rest of us who do the bleeding.

I do like Dennis, but I think he's wrong here. Yes, I'd love to see a public option, or better yet universal healthcare, but holy crap, we need something NOW! How many more people have to die because stubborn people with their own personal agendas are standing in the say of getting something done?

:hi:

on his personal agenda. Hang the consequences to others. It's the reason Cleveland went into default in '78.

they keep re-electing him. :hi:

That producer running up for her Kanye moment was the most exciting part of the show.

in full on Larry King tonight.

tried to hold her back with her cane to stop her from going. :rofl:

Worst dresses: Sarah Jessica Parker, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Lopez. Each one, a nightmare in its own right.

JLo's grew on me, but I'm starting to back off from that. I like the drapey, flowy ones the best. Demi, the young actress from Up in the Air and Rachel McAdams' dresses were gorgeous, especially the fabric on Rachel's.

whoever the hell she is, the dress was lovely. Demi looked gorgeous. Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy scared the bejeezus out of me. But the John Hughes tribute was touching.

How many people did JLo sneak in under that (side!) train??

Yes, that was beautiful.

I agree about Sheedy, Molly wasn't quite as bad. The purple was a good color for her, at least. And that tribute was very nice.

Dear Pats, that's precisely the sort of thing I was thinking. The announcer would give the name of some young actor or actress and I'd be thinking, "I have no idea who this person is." At least I knew Anna Kendrick was, having just seen Up in the Air yesterday.

And my personal WTF moment was when the Academy had Lauren Bacall and Roger Corman wave from the audience as though they were the accountants from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, or maybe the cameramen. Lauren freaking Bacall (geb. Betty Joan Perske), who made Key Largo and To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep!



I know they're cutting back on showing any awards not in the major categories, but somehow they found time for the Ben Stiller shtick and the salute to horror movies...and sometimes they're the same thing. :grr:

It didn't only look like they waved from the audience, it looked like they were so far away, the audience had no idea where they were seated. Ben Stiller went on for freakin' evah.

Every year or so, there's a whole crop of people that pop up from shows and movies I've never seen. Last year, it was all the vampire kids.

I Googled Miss Banks; she played Pickles in W.

:hi:

I looked at Sarah and wondered "how much did she pay for that sheet?" Gad, that was ug-lee.

with tinfoil flowers on the top. Fugly AND dangerous. :hi:, Rev!

she's got such a great body, why would she want to hide it in that sack?

Did the store not have any mirrors? Also, she kept pulling on that rope/sleeve/noose thing the whole time. It was shapeless but, apparently, uncomfortable nonetheless. I had Valley of the Dolls flashbacks while I was looking at her.

Go figure. Those of us with a different congresscritter don't always stand with 'em.

I used to really like him, but he's handling this very poorly. He's a loose cannon.

:crazy:

What's tomorrow's excuse? If Sarah Paling can quit -- so can I! :eyes:

Do you need any help w/ the jokes?

:rofl:

But I know the EDVs are too tender.

I must be special.

:hi: Hi everyone! Having a bitch of a time trying to connect to DU tonight!

:hi:

:grr:

:rofl:

Those bastards can be crazy at times.

Yeah, that would have been painful!

:hi:

There, I'm glad I said it.

:hi:

:hi:

:hi: On second thought, nah, I'm not gonna go there.

:hi: Same here!

Dodged a bullet there, didn't we? :rofl:

:hi:

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I got kicked off for a second myself.

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

That was weird.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:hi: Still glad you and Miss Cassie could make it!

Thanks!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Oy.

Pepperdine University. Home of Battle of the Network Stars.



:hi:

Kotter!

I wish she would just go away

Y'know, I never noticed the resemblance. :hi:

it never goes away. :rofl:

I was the first one to notice, I'll have you all know. :-)

Yep, the one and only.

It's just too bad he didn't take an attorney's duty to the justice system as seriously back when he was doing the Clinton witch hunt.

:hi:

Well, whadda ya know, Ken Starr believes lawyers have to be willing to represent anyone and everyone, or we don't have equality under the law in our justice system. What a concept!!!!

Too bad more people didn't learn it back in 12th-grade civics class!

than when she's wearing her Wonder Woman get-up?

dg

WonderWire. (TM)?


:hi:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I had no idea I was going to get a new car when I got up that day, but I got an e-mail from the dealer that they were running a special for $2500 off. I asked him to run the numbers and that if I could trade in my old one, pay it off and lower my payment with a new one, I'd think about it. Well, turns out I lowered my payment by $50 a month and have a new car. I've got a white and black one now. The decision was a no-brainer.

I'm looking at Honda's CR-V. Not too big, pretty decent gas mileage, and it would work well for hauling wedding cakes around.

:hi: :thumbsup:

:hi:

Congrats! You should drive it in good health. :toast:

and WTF were those boob flowers on Charlize's dress?

and Charlize's boob flowers made no sense. But if they'd been the same color as the rest of the dress they wouldn't have been so bad.

from Girlstown, one of the best they ever did.

Mamie Van Doren walks into a restaurant wearing a dress that gathers into a sequined diamond shaped area over her va-jay-jay. Crow says, "It's a tasteful little number that screams, 'Look at THIS!'"

I knew FF and Bea were forgotten. That sucked.

Loved that Babs gave the first female director her award.

and I was 2 years old too.



He had a Rolls Royce and lived in Beverly Hills. I had rich taste.

They did a really bad job on that, huh?! Fire that intern!

:hi:

:hi: :rofl:

Poor Henry.

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

Looks like dancin' kitty is happy to be here too!

:hi:

FROM A PERSONAL NOTEBOOK:

Belated thanks to all who have posted comments lately with well wishes for my father, who continues to fight his illness, more than two weeks after he lost wakefulness, and more than six months after he was first hospitalized. Your support is of great value to me (and my thanks to MSNBC for its understanding in this time, and, for that matter, MLB.Com, for providing this oasis where I can immerse myself in the game between trips to his bedside). This is, in fact, what baseball is for.

(from The Baseball Nerd blog)

Take all the time you need. Your dad is worth it.

Thanks for the news.

Don't worry, Keith. We'll be here when you get back. :hug:

:rofl:

Sarah Palin = God

Care to say something?

She is basement cat.

A drive to Whitehorse, Yukon or a Ferry Trip to Juneau, Alaska

So easy to get them confused
