Happy Friday -- KOEB 11/4

Shabbat Shalom, everyone.

Bring on Perky!

:hi: Bot

15 days and counting...

On the other thread I started ...... :rofl: watch out for Ravens

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=24806&mesg_id=24806

BTW MSNBC, CNN, CBS anti American riots caused by Chavez
working for Castro ..... MSNBC "not personal ..... just anti American"

what bull shit.

I hadn't read the latest entries on that thread. I read it days ago and totally missed my "vision." Unfortunately for you, I don't believe in visions and I will be keeping my tickets.

Very creative, though.

:rofl:

My son got to know him a little over the past 2 summers when he
helped out @ a day camp @ OSU ..... nice guy too. And that can't
be said about a lot of big time players .....

and all that sort of stuff from Berry After the Show :hi:

Happy Friday! :hi:

Enjoy your brisket (and put it in the basket!)

Very good!

Where did it go? Why won't it come back?

:hi: Bot!

Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav EDV?

I really get the sense that * and company are headed for the crapper .....
it is like "they" have fallen off a cliff and even the Wolf Blitzer and
Fox are powerless to stop the fall.

Except "they" drop Clinton pushed him all the time.

Let's see... Darth Cheney's at 19%. 19%. How'd he ever get 19? It's a miracle. * is in the negatives among African-Americans and the base is deserting him. I think we may see the return of the Republicans soon. Remember them? The Republicans? Small government? Fiscal conservatives?

There's nowhere to go but further down, too. Frist/Abramoff/GAO/Fitz:
How low can it go?

I'm tellin' ya. Oy.

Tom Noe in Ohio and the GAO study that the vote was able to
be corrupted .....

Some of his fall shows the real result of last November.

It is going to get a lot worse for bush.

Lying us into a war and then trashing a CIA agent who was protecting us
from real WMDs = deep shit

Mr Bush it looks like you are falling. Please hold this anvil.

OMG, this bunny had a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day.

I'll kvetch some more during the commercials.

:silly:

Oh, I just checked my post, and my computer filled in the rest of the sentence once it recognized the Hi Sharon greeting. That was from a post I made after you went to see 'Good Night and Good Luck'. Just another example of the little glitches and larger annoyances that have plagued my day.

I'm breaking open a Corona.

I'm sorry you had a terrible day. Tell us all about it. We're here for you.

Luck'. I've corrected it now.

It is such a disgrace watching Pickles and Jr. walk up that red carpet at the summit as if they were really the President and First Lady.

I hope the people there know that we detest him just as much as they do.
;(

At least Pickles didn't look like she'd been electrocuted unlike the other night with Camilla, bride of Chucky.

it was so out of context I wasn't sure. You'll love it!

I thought they had been Photoshopped they're so crazy looking.

She made Camilla look positively lovely.

LOL.

:hi:

Rule Britannia!

All this, and Rude Vile Pig!

And now I've got Joan Collins and Joan Rivers with Larry King covering the visit of Chuck and Camilla.

Just a thought. :yoiks:

:patriot:

Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod...



:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

I see the spirit of Botany still has posession of your soul. :evilgrin:

spiritual residue.

It doesn't itch, though, so I think I'm okay. Maybe better off.

Who ya gonna call?

This slime is going down!


And, one more thing:


ZOOOOOOL!

That's great! :rofl:

LOFL! How many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery is in that post of yours, anyway?

Maybe you can exchange this day for a refund?

:(

We'll make you feel better here!! :hug:

I wake up this morning at 7, having lost a crown in my sleep.

I looked everywhere for it. I HAD SWALLOWED IT.

And that's just the beginning of the day. It goes downhill from there.

Don't ask.

Swallowing your crown -- that must have hurt. What with all those pointy things on it.

Sorry, I don't mean to make fun. I just couldn't resist.

And...you just a get a new crown, right? I mean, is there...saving considered?

I need an implant in that spot. Anybody ever had one of those.

I'm younger than springtime, of course, but my teeth aren't cooperating.

Green tea saketini?


:hi:

Not that I would turn down a green pea saketini.

:hi:

(all together now: "EEeeeewwwwwww!")

Hi, Bleev. :hi:

Isn't "anxiety" and "angst" the same thing?

For example: Timmy experienced anxiety when he mixed up the green pee cocktail and served it to his freeper in-law, but if was nothing to the angst his victim felt when informed of the contents of the drink he had just finished.


:)

You never cease to amaze. Go to the head of the class.

:rofl:

pea.

:hi:

tea?

I can't even spell anymore and I haven't even started drinking yet.

It's very cloudy. Why you no see picture?

favorite beverage.

I wonder who else can't see it? Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser.

went back to the post.

How about this one? Not cloudy. :)

Yum.

They're on a different label than Rude Vile Pig. :)

Zen Breeze
- 1 part Zen green tea liqueur
- 2 parts white cranberry juice
- Mint leaves


I suppose Spirulina couldn't hurt though.

Zen figures into it how?

Please enlighten.

That's how. :)

The new Zen Green Tea Liqueur is made from a blend of specially selected green tea leaves from Kyoto, Japan. (20% alcohol by volume)

I'm confused.

Infuse, not ferment.

ZEN Green Tea Liqueur uses carefully selected Kyoto green tea leaves of the highest grade grown by one of the most famous producers of fine teas in Japan, Marukyu-Koyama-En, which has been cultivating tea for more than 300 years. Infusing neutral spirits with whole and ground green tea leaves, ZEN is then blended in several herbs, such as lemongrass, along with other natural flavors to achieve its exquisite taste.

And considering all the dental work Keith appears to have had lately, I think he can sympathize with your plight.

crowns.

So glad you added that one! :loveya:

:applause:

Commence drooling. :loveya:

of funks but even JK was working my last nerve today when he was quoted as saying he didn't know about the GAO investigation into election irregularities in Ohio. We need him to step up about this now, put a high profile on it and never mind if it hurts his chances in '08, without the fraud fixed it won't matter anyway.

(that sounds nice!)

Hi, everyone! :hi:

Keith looks yummy, as usual. :loveya:

:hi:

Not so alliterative, but nice nonetheless. :hi:

Hey, I tried. :)

Hope you've had a good day. :hi:

It was pay day, too. Shazzam!



Tom Collins?

But once this is gone, make mine a snarkatini.

Tom Collins

1 1/4 oz. Gin, Sour Mix, Splash Soda

Shake Gin & sour with ice, Pour into a Collins glass, Top with Soda, Garnish with an orange slice and cherry

really necessary?

Even then, Wolf was saying it was "anti-summit demonstrations" until DU slammed him with e-mails. Then he had to admit it was "anti-American". He just couldn't bring himself to say "anti-bush".

and without Bush, it probably wouldn't have happened.

For some I think it's just an excuse.

We managed to get 350,000 or so people to protest in DC without any incidents.

This reporter seems to be saying there were at least two separate groups protesting.

Tweety's show.

It's anti-Bush - because Clinton never got this treatment. She actually swallowed hard before saying that.

Hi, Clark :hi:

:hi:

How's tricks? Or are they treats? ;)

Ooops - said that out loud, didn't I? :)

it was intense emotionally, but peaceful.

"The use of unnecessary violence in the protesting of George W. Bush has been approved."

:hi:

:hi:

Oh - question... what's the traditional Shabbat dinner? I say fish. And I mean "traditional" in the common sense... as in what was the original practice.

Chicken soup. Tsimmes (baked, sliced, candied carrots).

How are ya? :hi:

challah, of course, and Manishevitz wine or some other kosher wine to say the blessings over (kiddush).

that wasn't "traditional" for either of us. LOL.

As a Catholic, I'm supposed to be eating fish on Fridays - or, in the least, chicken. The Pope gave us that in 60s. :7

Obviously, neither of us practice our "religion" very stringently, but we're both very spiritual. :)

protest wasn't violent

Lovely candlesticks! A family heirloom? :)

LOL!

I don't even feel like complaining any more after seeing the trauma goin on in South America.

That last footage from Buenos Aires looked just awful, I hope no one gets hurt worse than that man that was lying in the street.

Basta, Fuera Bush.

what's left for him?"

Harwood: "Not much."

problem tonight that we've seen sometimes in the past? Then again, he didn't appear to be spinning, either. Hmm... :freak:

according to John Harwood from WSJ.

Polls are in the tank.....

Sorry.
I love that picture, it's beautiful.

She didn't remember what Jim Marcinkowski looked like, so I told her I'd post his photo for her.



He was in the studio with Nancy Skinner this morning talking about Valerie Plame. He trained with her -- he's former CIA. Currently he's city attorney for the town next to me. He was on Countdown the other night.

:hi: happy weekend!!

dg

but he just said the secret Friday word. Do you think he won $100 bucks?

But it wasn't Clyde, even though I do live in north-eastern Tennessee.

:rofl:

The camel I hugged was at Boo at the Zoo and she was a baby who kept following me around because I'm such a sucker for animals and they know it. The zebras always follow me, too.

Or did you jump in and join them?

But the camels were out for the kids to pet and ride for the event.

And the zebras are in a paddock like horses. The always come over to me and let me pet them. Funny, I always thought zebras could never be tamed, but they seem to like me for some reason and they seem to be OK in a paddock. We actually have a pretty awesome zoo for a medium-sized town.

A fake picture of a man I don't believe really exists?

Tweety makes a hobby out of interrupting.

Tweety is the king of interrupters.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I didn't respond to anyone last night, but I fell asleep. I'm still getting over a nasty cold and I conked right out during KO. Horrible I know but I couldn't help it.

As to how I and Wal-Mart are getting along? Well that would be lousy. My leg pain has gotten better, but my feet still hurt really bad. I can't find a comfortable pair of shoes. The cold I have is most probably a result of being around so many people. I haven't had a bad cold in some time and this has really hit me hard. Luckily I have 3 days in a row off to finally rid myself of it.

I'm still searching for other employment as I can't imagine working a long time for them. They are going to be open Thanksgiving Day and everyone "MUST" work. Thankfully I only have to work 4 hours, but I still find it disgusting. The next day, Friday, is going to be a horror show from what I've been told, but that's Wal-mart.

Sheridan says "Woof Woof" to everyone. He was a happy boy today since I spent it with him.

:hi:

It's supposed to be the news WITHOUT the snooze.

Then again...sometimes even the anchor has trouble staying awake.

Right on him? Hey! How bad could that be?

Just the thought of *really* "falling asleep on KO" is enough to make me faint...

without realizing how it read. :)

literally.

However, I'd be happy for KO to take me any way he likes.

definitely keep me awake.

Now that I think of it, I did say I fell asleep on Keith...WOW!!! If only it were true!!!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Faux News and Delay for the 14K interview payment, more than some families of four have to live on for a year is his fee for coming to NYC and lying on camera. Hot Tub Tom, so corrupt, it boggles the mind, he is incapable of doing anything honest.

he just keeps on doing it. He's like the Eveready Bunny (no offense). You'd think he'd lay low for a while. These guys have so much hubris, I can't stand it. The last few days I keep feeling like crying for no reason -- the corruption and everything else are just getting to me. I want my country back and I don't know how we're going to do it.

can take, and if these guys don't finally get punished for their crimes and removed from office, I just don't know what to think. I've been crying about it lately too, its outrage overdose. I think we all feel the empathy for the people they've hurt, while these creeps feel no remorse at all. It feels like we are all carrying the emotional burden that they have caused.

How can this just keep on going and going and going? When will it all end? The depth of the evil that exists in these people makes me crazy.

:grouphug: :cry: :pals:

most disturbing things I've ever seen.

How is this much hatred ever going to be erradicated. It is cyclical and never ending in scope. Just horribly saddening.

And it is so innapropriate that KO had to segway into 'Keeping Tabs' right afterwards. I'm sure he wouldn't have chosen to do it that abruptly. In fact, I'm sure he'd rather not do 'Keeping Tabs' at all.

I found it encouraging that Keith interviewed a San Francisco Chronicle reporter earlier, a nice change from the usual suspects. Perhaps they are letting him talk to more liberals now without calling him into the office for a lecture.

Especially when you consider the violence in it is as fake as in any Road Runner cartoon. I'm so sure that if you wear a belt of grenades and blow yourself up, you're going to come out of it as an intact corpse with just a trickle of blood on your head. Sure.

And the worst part is, they want kids to BELIEVE this so they will kill themselves in the name of hating others.

My week is complete!

:)

And you'll have to start the search all over again.

RVP Rocks! :headbang:

I hope it starts with bang, and keeps getting better.

Don't be a doubter. If you build it, they will come.

At least we don't have to contend with the Miers' hearings that were scheduled for Monday. Kate Bush's album comes out Tuesday, so that's a good week right there. Then, who knows what all else could be? Maybe, on top of all of that, Fitz will have another gift for us?

I thought the 12 days were supposed to be consecutive -- what's with a whole week already between the first and second days?

:thumbsup:

like Ramadan. :)

And quite satisfying.

All this waiting and agonizing better have a huge payoff this time.

and the payoffs will be multiple and ongoing.


:thumbsup:

I -- for indictment and then impeachment.

You didn't think I was going to say it was all about the "O," did you? I know you said multiple...just sayin'.

:toast:

That's the spirit. :thumbsup:

There was only supposed to be enough for one day, but when it finally really hits, there'll be enough for eight days...and more.

real name?

new comedy, Hot Properties.

She went to my high school, and dated a guy who had been a close friend when we were in elementary school.

Did her name pop out because Keef's dating her? Inquiring minds want to know!

Keith has a sign above his mirror that says "Actresses act." As a way of reminding himself not to date any.

I LOVE YOU KEITH OLBERMANN.

You took my terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day, and you did the impossible, you made me laugh so hard I was writhing on the floor.
Who but you, could have known, that I needed the funniest Countdown Hall of Fame ever to be written to end the broadcast tonight of all nights.

You are the BEST.
Ain't enough ooooooo's in smoooooooooooth for you Keef.
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

He can turn the world on with his smile. He can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile.

It's him, girl, and you should know it!

:loveya: happy-making Keith.

I've even forgotten the theme to the MTM show, I am getting on.

he shows it.

Get your hats out, we're gonna toss 'em up in the air!

That reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:

A little old Jewish lady took her young grandson to the beach. While he played in the shallow water, she stood on the beach not wanting to get her feet wet; all of a sudden, a huge wave appeared from nowhere and crashed directly over the spot where the little boy was wading. The water receded and the boy was no longer there - he had vanished into the sea.

The grandmother raised her hands toward the sky, and cried, "Lord, how could you take him? Have I not been a wonderful grandmother? Have I not been a wonderful mother? Have I not given to B'nai B'rith? Have I not given to Hadassah? Have I not lit candles every Friday night at dusk? Have I not tried my very best to live the life that you would have me live?"

A loud voice boomed down from the sky, "Okay, okay, already!" A few seconds later another huge wave appeared out of nowhere and crashed on the beach. As the water receded, the little boy was playing there, smiling, splashing around as if nothing had happened.

The loud voice boomed again, "I have returned your grandson. Are you satisfied?"

The grandmother looked at the boy for a moment, cupped her hands to her mouth and yelled up at the sky, "He had a hat!"

I think that's my new favorite little Old Jewish lady joke.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This is who we are. :) Glad to hear it. Make an appointment with your eye doctor.

...that's just too sad.

Here's a hat for you:



You're gonna make it after all, Bun-Bun!

talk about waking up with cottonmouth...

You can have the town, why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all.

The last line is dedicated to Bunny : You're gonna make it after all.

:)

PS - here's your hat. Have a better tomorrow.

Meow...

And, what's this?

Meee-yew!

I'm serious, that is the major part of what I'm dealing with today.
I thought I was having a reaction to some new mascara I used this morning but I took a hot shower, washed it all off, and my eye felt better for about a half hour, now it feels like glass is in it again.

You said you wanted to hear about it. Really, I need advice. Anybody still here?

(contacts, occasionally tear a lens - MAJOR OUCH!)

As hard as it is, the best thing is to do nothing. Keep air circulating on your eye (no bleever patch). Fortunately, the eye is one of the quickest healing parts of the body - or so my eye doctor tells me.

tonight and heard about my dual woes of the day, 'Mom, maybe your missing tooth..... is in your eye!!!!' You've got to love a snarky teen.
:loveya:

Thanks for the advice Rev. I hope it feels better soon, I'm going bonkers it hurts so much.

I'd say if it doesn't feel better by Monday, you should call the doctor.

important show had happened already last week. I would have been squinting, wincing, and not smiling too much while trying to sell artwork, that would not have been good at all. Thank goodness for small favors.

Hope it feels better soon. I've not had one, but it sounds really annoying. :hug:

in proportion to the actual damage done.

Just having a stupid eyelash in your eye hurts like hell.

I've never had that happen before. Can you recall anything happening that might have gotten into it? Maybe you should go to the eye doctor.

if you're really worried, you could try to see a doctor right away, but usually all you can really do is wait and be miserable if the problem is a minor scratch. If you notice any signs of infection or the eye becomes inflamed, please do get some medical help, pronto.

Wasn't she one of the two actresses who played Marilyn on The Munsters?


:7

(I'm thinking it's a distraction - tell me what you think)

THAT'S why I watched that show.


:rofl:

But I'm envious. HER picture of Pat is autographed...

DATING her????



LOL, and she was the "homely" one of the Munsters.

Try it again?

Besides, it's not as if you NEED to see it again, bleev. :-)

insurance company decided to threaten to cancel our coverage unless we get a new roof put on this place, in six weeks. My roof is ancient, but has no leaks, I've got a contractors letter to prove it, but they won't listen to reason and are insisting. I really don't know what we are going to do, we don't have the ready cash for such an expense and couldn't get a roofer within that time frame even if we did. I feel like I'm being blackmailed, and needless to say I'm shopping for a new home insurance company. Looks like I'll be stuck with a half torn down seventies kitchen if this doesn't get resolved as the small home loan we took out will have to go towards the roof. Oy vey, not a big problem compared with what other folks have had to go through of course, but with the tooth, the eye, and the Bush Administration outrage of the hour, it just feels like a merde on toast a la mode kind of a day.

I don't understand how they can do that if you have a letter from the contractor that the roof is okay. Makes no sense to me. I'd get a new carrier ASAP.

The tooth and the eye will be fine, I'm sure. Well, the eye will probably be okay in a couple of days, the tooth you'll have to get taken care of. Hopefully you can reach an agreement with the insurance company or get a new one.

I've got an appointment for Dec. 1st to get that process started but won't be able to crown it for six months or so after that. I can get some temporary device attached but won't be able to chew on that side for the duration.

I'm paying the price for my poverty stricken twenties when I couldn't afford a good dentist. Oh well, I don't usually kvetch so much in one sitting, please forgive me.

And I don't usually spell kvetch wrong, I'm just not myself today.

Who can you complain to if not us. We're here for you. Dave needs a four implants, I think. The dentist wanted to do them last month, but he's used up his dental benefits for the year, so they did the most urgent one and will do the other three in January when our benefits start over again.

alternative.

The rest? Not so much.

Geez, Thumper, did ya want to just go back to bed and pull up the covers? :hug:

trying to get back to Route 17 I was wishing I was back home under the covers. Other plans, not my own, got in the way, all day. I will probably follow that advice directly though, and curl up with a good book. I'm reading 'All the President's Men' again, can't wait for the sequel, 'All the Vice-President's Men.'

:rofl:

concluding with "All the President's Impeachments." :)

All the Congressmen's Convictions

We could go on and on, couldn't we.

Maybe you should call FEMA. They'll put an ugly plastic blue tarp on your roof for only a few zillion dollars.

You didn't get to hear Keith on Dan Patrick's show, did you? You sure could've used it today. I swear they spent half the show talking about Hideki Matsui's porn collection that he travels everywhere with a suitcase full of some of it. Apparently this endears him to the people of Japan because it means he's a real human guy like all the rest of them. I tremble for what this means for Japan. Keith and Dan had a great time making jokes about how the next Yankee giveaway promotion was going to be "Hideki Matsui Handkerchief Night."

It wouldn't have fixed your roof, but it would've given you a laugh.

novel, that it makes him a real human guy. I think not, Scooter's got some really badly written and pedophiliacal porn in his book 'The Apprentice.' Funny how the MSM doesn't feel the need to report any of that.

I hope Matsui's porn collection is just the old-fashioned consenting adult kind.

He sure had fun reading passages of it.

Ah, yes, nothing says "good old-fashioned family values" like a nice campfire story about taunting a female Bay Air with a stick so it will have sex with a 10-year-old girl.

Exactly HOW a female Bay Air has sex with a 10-year-old girl, I really don't want to know. :scared:

As for Matsui's porn collection, I wouldn't be so sure it is any cleaner. I mean, consider how, in Japan, the preteen to young teen girl is idolized as a sex object,, and you wonder. When you think that they actually used to have vending machines in Japan where salarymen could buy a pair of previously worn panties from a teenage girl...the mind reels.

Castilla anecdote than them giggling over the Matsui stuff. For those who didn't catch Friday's program, KO told a story about the Sports Center days: Dan pronounced a player's name "Castillo" and Keith corrected the pronunciation somewhat abruptly. In recounting this story, KO acknowledged that he should have corrected Dan more diplomatically but at the time he was the kind of guy who's a know-it-all that doesn't realize he's a know-it-all and Dan was the kind of guy who wouldn't forget being corrected, because for the next five years, Dan would always say, "Castilla" (emphasizing the corrected syllable) instead of "Castilla" and Keith in his turn would pronounce the hapless player's name "Casteeeeeeeella".

It was just a strange little story and I wonder why he brought it up and found myself thinking, "so now you're a know-it-all with insight? How much improvement has actually taken place?" And I wondered, not for the first time, if he's made as much of an effort to mend his fences with Dan as he did with others that were more estranged. Sometimes we take our friends for granted and forget that they're the people we should apologize to most often and most sincerely. Yeah, yeah, none of my beeswax, but every now and then I catch a strange vibe off the interaction that makes me wonder if Dan's gotten the recompense he wants. Perhaps he has and I'm way off base. Perhaps he hasn't, and the price of his forgiveness is more than KO is willing to pay, for any number of reasons. It's just a little weird there at times.

and go try to read for a bit until Real Time comes on. It's the season finale. Then I might catch the late show -- I missed quite a bit of the second half. My daughter called and it was hard to pay attention.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
