KOEB Meeting: 04/26/10 -- It's Fascism; But it's a Dry Kind of Fascism

:hi: How are ya all? (I stole that title from SNL, btw)

Congrats to Mel Brooks for his long overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. :loveya:, Mel! Here's my contribution to the "Decision Points" cover contest.

:hi:

Like your book cover, btw!

it's official. Who will argue? :hi: There are so many good ones around DU today, but I don't think I saw this one. It's still not my favorite picture of Dim Son, though. That's the one with the inside out umbrella.

I didn't have a lot of time for DU today. I wouldn't doubt it for a second though. If there is, I'm pretty sure this one is there already. It's such a classic picture.

I prefer the one from China where he tries to walk through a locked door, or the one from the G8 where he's dressed up like a Teletubby.

and so little time to do it.

Okay, I wasn't, but I was born just south of the Nueces River & have heard my whole freakin' life "You were born in Occupied Mexico har har har" thanks to a dispute as to which river you consider to be the southern border of Texas (a whole war was fought over it btw).

SO I FUCKING DARE YOU, NAZIZONA, TO PULL ME OVER & TRY TO DEPORT ME! I will sue you to the Stone Ages & bankrupt you so badly you'll have to sign over the Grand Canyon.

Nazi fuckers.

Hi DG! :hi:

Just ridiculous.

How are ya? Missed you. :hi:

:hi: Watching the show, but not live blogging. :)

apparently it's going to be pages of lists.

And here I thought we'd be lucky for it to be a coloring book.

dg

"Let me count the ways."

"Chapter One: I am born."

Thanks for that link. Those are too funny. How did the world survive him??

Or, maybe, "Ich!" :)

:hi:, CB!

That whole thread should be nominated for a DUzy!

:rofl:

See, this is why I missed you!

:hi: Keith is already throwing his pen in dismay, and Sherrod Brown is on next. You know it's gonna be a good night! :bounce:

He must have been a handful as a child. "Watch me, watch me, Mom, Dad, watch me, watch me..."

and it was my first Tweet ever. I sent him Wolvie's picture link.

I think you will recognize the name :evilgrin:

dg

I'm your newest follower.

I will get the hang of this internet thing eventually.

even though I barely ever logged in. I wonder if it was sort of like that one guy, Tom, who was everyone's first friend My Space? :)

I had a new follower with a tweet about the ladies of DU, so I assumed it was you.

:hi:

:hi:

or name me TOTD! I keep trying, but haven't come up with anything good enough yet.

LOL! He needs to do a show around this time, doesn't he?

Hey, maybe everyone in Arizona who hates this law should put that on their cars, regardless of whether they are Hispanic or not. Police would be running around like the Keystone Kops! :rofl:

I can just picture that. :rofl:

All I can say is that I'm sure my two uncles who fought the Nazis in Europe in 1944 & 1945 are spinning in their graves with disgust at this BS law that Arizona passed.

I'm getting a couple of yellow stars made just in case. :hi:

Maybe I'll make a couple of green, white and gold stars made too. That'll make it obvious that Mr. Wonderful and myself are Irish-Americans.

I figured out a couple on another post (& got a :thumbsup: from an AZ attorney :evilgrin: )

1. Call in reports of suspected illegals, giving addresses from the country club, GOP meetings, fundie churches, & chamber of commerce

2. When the cops don't investigate, under this law you can (a) sue them & (b) demand the AZ Attorney General investigate & sue them.

fun times fun times....get 'em running around in circles

dg

that level of stupidity should be illegal, but if not, it should be taxed.

dg

Those suggestions are right on.. Hope someone does it and the assholes in AZ will scream like hell.

and while the cops are chasing down suspected illegals & tossing them in jail, no one's out there catching the REAL criminals & if they are caught, there's no room in the jails! :eyes:

dg

just to see what happens (cuz if they throw US in INS detention, ka-CHING!)

dg

He's a naturalized citizen since 1999, but he's got an Irish brogue you can cut with a knife. I have to translate practically everything he says to people in my family.

But we decided against doing that, why give the bastards any of our money. Screw that.

Told him it was from us. Didn't mention the ties. :)

:crazy:

I am so glad we have Sherrod. I just wish we had Sherrod AND Jennifer.

:hi: Hello!
:loveya: (Andy's coming over in a few minutes)

:evilgrin:

She is having waaaay too much fun. :evilgrin:

I am soooo happy for you. :bounce: It couldn't happen to a more wonderful person. :loveya:

While the Rev abandoned you the second she got a real-life boyfriend, I have remained faithful to you. In the face of all evidence to the contrary, I have clung to my substanceless delusions that someday you and I will meet and fall in love. I think I deserve to be rewarded for this. Please name me your #1 favorite stalker. Thank you.

Love,
Berry :loveya:

:thumbsup:

Have fun!!!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

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

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

I should put them on YouTube.

Nice to see the two of you. Meow, Crook!

Love cute kittie!:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

do I dare get hooked on more crack from bravo?

(& omfg Jill Zarin makes me want to :nuke: I still don't like Bethenny, but fuck it all to hell, at least she acted like a freaking adult-for once)

dg

Orange County and NYC. The New Jersey ones I just can't get into.

I still don't know why Bethenny is pissed at Jill, I must've missed an episode or two.

I absolutely loathe Vicki on OC and I think Gretchen is great. Vicki should act her age and quit the :woohoo: all the time. She really is annoying.

she didn't care that Bobby was in the hospital & was sick. B had sent flowers when she heard, was out on a book tour, then had to write a 2nd book in about 4 weeks, Jill sent her a text, B sent an email asking what was going on & Jill ignored her. Meanwhile, Jill is blogging about all the trips she's taking & parties she's going to, nothing about Bobby, but still it's all B's fault. then the whole "Bethenny said I should get a hobby" voice mail contro, which Jill then blasted to everyone & then backstabbed B in the Page 6 column. When B finds out about Bobby having surgery, Jill refuses to talk to her, then when B calls to talk & apologize, Jill puts her on speaker so everyone, including the Countless, can hear & mock her.

:phew: and that's not all. but hey. that's what re-runs are for. :rofl:

dg

My sisters ARE reality TV.

The Real Non-Housewives of Lake County.

Since you opted out of Jerseylicious (HUGE mistake! LOL!); I think you must. I know I'll be there next week. I'm ready for the table flipping to commence proper.

Maybe I'll watch it while I doing the ironing, I can always DVR Rachel.

Yes, I was only joking about the yellow stars. Barely.

I was watching some show on Bravo while I was on the treadmill over the weekend, and the guy asked Bethenny which housewife from all of them she'd let babysit her baby, and she and I both immediately said "Caroline." LOL.

for the passage of the Health care reform bill! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

Work called. My sister is texting me saying she has a crush on Evan Lysacek (and he's going to be here Friday). And my father is trying to call me again!

Don't these people know...I have PRIORITIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :grr:

about the aliens making contact with us for the first time? I think it was Chevy Chase. It was a Time Magazine cover that simply read, "Send More Chuck Berry".

Have a lovely evening, everyone! :hi:

Enjoy!

That's the best one yet!

Sorry I missed youse guys. Didn't get home from the gym until after 7 and then had to make dinner, eat and clean up. I watched downstairs away from my computer.
