"There is a mathematical, if not practical, chance that the ratification of the Electoral College vote could be delayed past tomorrow."

1. Patsy, what's that noise?

Do I hear a noreaster blowin' in from the southwest? :D

[Patsy Stone]

5. Listen?

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? It's a (perfect) storm a brewin'! :)

[merh]

23. You aren't going to believe the headline in todays paper

When I read it, I thought of your essay! LOL!!!

THE PERFECT STORM?
Trio of storm systems could have disastrous impact on U.S.
By SETH BORENSTEIN
KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON - Moisture-laden storms from the north, west and south are likely to converge on much of America over the next several days in what could be a once-in-a-generation onslaught, meteorologists forecast Tuesday.

If the gloomy computer models at the U.S. Climate Prediction Center are right, we'll see this terrible trio:

• The Pineapple Express, a series of warm wet storms heading east from Hawaii, drenching Southern California and the far Southwest, which already are beset with heavy rain and snow. It could cause flooding, avalanches and mudslides.

• An Arctic Express, a mass of cold air chugging south from Alaska and Canada, bringing frigid air and potentially heavy snow and ice to the usually mild-wintered Pacific Northwest.

32. Wish it was ours instead! :) n/t

[merh]

33. I know, I know . . .

but, things are falling into place, you never know!

[Raksha]

38. Synchronicity. n/t

[BernieBear]

8. Ah yes, there's rain on the horizon.....

[understandinglife]

17. Patsy's storm is on the way!!! And, let's all be calling Hastert & Frist..

...early tomorrow morning with 'weather reports.'

Those folk answering their phones are freakin cause they're hearing the thunder and roar of WE THE PEOPLE.....

Please tell Senator Frist -- We Have No Election; thank you and have a nice day.

Please tell Congressman Hastert -- We Have No Election; thank you and have a nice day.

Oh, and, tell me, when did Bush know? :evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

42. Frist isn't answering his phone, the big weinie

And his fax machine has been busy for the past hour.

I have something to fax him! :P

[understandinglife]

46. Probably best to fax after 11pm EST tonight; I'm going to be on the phone.

...very early tomorrow am to all his office numbers and Hastert's (and I mean early since I'm PST)...

Peace.

[greenmutha]

2. Get the popcorn ready! Yippee!

:bounce:

Go Keef!

:loveya:

[WilliamPitt]

3. "all but certain"..."not formalized"

We're right where we were several hours ago.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Yep, we are.

And the suspense is just killin' me. Also, it doesn't make much sense for anyone to show anything to anyone yet; I wouldn't. I'd play it close to the chest. It was his headline, not mine. But, it's an attention grabber, ain't it?

Hi!

[meganmonkey]

18. Did you say 'certain' and 'formalized'???

OMG everyone, Will Pitt says there is certainly a Senator on board!! We're saved!! Can I quote you on this?



just messin' with ya.

[greenmutha]

31. ROFLOL! n/t

[MadLinguist]

61. Psssst , Pot! I see a kettle and I think

It's effing BLACK!
Kid, you do NOT want to be messing with the estrogen brigade. Not this time of night.

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. Hang on to your seat folks

cause away we go!

Here's the good part that we didn't know about, the glimmer of hope, the light at the end of the tunnel...

The Majority is also worried about the possible absence of many of its members in both houses, and the prospect that a quorum might not be achieved, leading the process into uncharted, albeit not very threatening, constitutional grounds.

[librechik]

9. oooooh, my beloved "handful of GOP dissenters!"

LOVE ya guys--You are True Americans! I will support you! If you are from Colorado, I will vote for you!!!

[Pithy Cherub]

6. KO, the Leader of the Pack!

seems his 'peers' haven't figured it out yet - arithmetic, math, geometry, calculus or otherwise. :)

[Clark2008]

44. "That'swhy I fell for...

...The Leader of the Pack"

Since our KO is out tonight - I'll just provide the entertaining and corny intro and exit music.

:hi:

[Vektor]

Get out your floatie hearts, ladies!!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Good to hear...

[bunny planet]

36. Still trying to find where we meet. I've never left 2004 Election Results

before....... Where's media?

[kitkat65]

7. Oh word make it twoo. Make it twoo!

[Cha]

10. The "1/2 dozen Senators" thing is fantastic!

This surprised me a little, too..I guess there's no problem with "chlorera" around Phuket..

snip~
Western tourists, mostly Australian and British, are back on the beaches around Phuket, Thailand. The Australian newspaper, the Adelaide Advertiser, reports that vacationers were seen on Patong Beach— where at least 120 people died Sunday morning, and at Surin Beach, where at least 10 people perished.

At least some of them were new arrivals. "Our friends think we're mad," the newspaper quotes Paul Cunliffe, of Manchester, England. "The only risk we face I think is if there's another quake. We love the place that much and we thought we would take the risk."

[Shopaholic]

13. I love it--even sick this man is still blogging for us.

Oh well, at least I won't feel guilty tonight for watching "Lost" at 8pm instead of KO. I'll catch the repeat though-I want to see how they're going to cover the Election story with KO not in-house and writing the script!

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Oh bla de, oh bla dah

I suppose?

[greenmutha]

12. Patsy, did you notice his byline said "sick bed" ?

Guess he's feeling "under the weather" maybe?

[Shopaholic]

16. The rumor is that he won't be on tonight.

Alas.Get better soon sweetie, we miss you!:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

26. Won't have the pleasure

of hearing him say "challenge to Ohio's electors." Oh well, could be worse, there could BE no challenge to the electors brewing.

:)

Feel better, KO! :loveya:

[Clark2008]

47. OK.. I won't mention that *I* was sick earlier this week

J/K... somehow I doubt Liquid Plumber fumes are contagious from one person to another. ;)

[Patsy Stone]

19. I did

But this didn't seem the time or place to mention it. Since you noticed, I'm sure several of our other KOEB members will as well. :)

I wonder if he'll be on?

[greenmutha]

29. Guess we'll find out shortly! n/t

[Wilms]

20. I hope bettyellin can bake him some gluten-free soup cookies. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

22. What on Earth

is a "soup cookie?" :)

edited to remove unwarrented capital letter.

[Wilms]

24. I dunno. I just want Keef to feel better. n/t

[Patsy Stone]

28. LOL! n/t

[Clark2008]

48. It's a cracker, idn't it? n/t

[Carolab]

15. Oh my stars & bars!

Hallulejah! Is we a democracy?

[Karenca]

21. This could be it!.. ... Kick! ...nt

[Twist_U_Up]

25. I didn`t see dissidents in there

and no other smart ass comments.

Seems as if Keef had a gun to his head as he wrote that

[crispini]

66. He's sick, give the man a break! ;) n/t

[BlueInRed]

27. how did you get this up so fast

I checked before posting on another thread, and boom, you had it up here as soon as I hit "post"!

[Patsy Stone]

30. I'm chill like that :) n/t

[bunny planet]

34. Patsy, where's the KO thread (with floaties please)

[Patsy Stone]

35. None

Chris Jansing is sub-ing. Read the blog -- sickbed. :(

:loveya:

[DemReadingDU]

37. Ok, I was wondering too. no floaty hearts today. n/t

[bunny planet]

39. Oh poor Keef!!!!!

So just in case he's back tomorrow where's the thread going to be, any idea. I don't know where media is but if you link it from 2004 Election Results, I'll just follow the estrogen and find y'all.

[Patsy Stone]

41. LOL! :)

If not, we'll find you -- promise.

[Clark2008]

40. Take a shower and come back to a storm!!

That'll learn me!


Wow! What news! I'm speechless!

[rodeodance]

43. E-mail: [e-mail] -thanks and a get well soon

[Catchawave]

45. Checking in....

I like Chris, so I'll still watch Countdown...still the best news show on anything :)

Let's all send Keith get well messages on his blog !

[Left coast liberal]

49. Great news! Randi is on a rampage! Bless her...

God, I can barely stand it, we are all on pins and needles for tomorrow.

Interesting comments about the certification possibly being delayed. wierd.

Heard Conyers on several interviews today on Air America. He unequivically says "Yes" to senators, just a matter of how many.

I will be glued to C-SPAN tomorrow.

Take care, yall.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

52. Have you heard the Conyers interview she did?

At the end he seemed pretty certain there would be a Senator.

Nice. :)

[Left coast liberal]

54. Yes, I heard the whole thing. And, he was on in the AM...

with those two gals, what is it Majority Report?

He's awesome! What a champion!

[McCamy Taylor]

50. Keith is sick! I sent him a cyber flower

[Left coast liberal]

55. That's sweet! No worries about allergies. He done good.

[Patsy Stone]

51. Currently five threads referencing KO.

Yes, that includes this one. Since there are so many, I feel no shame in posting a few :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Clark2008]

53. BEAU-TI-FUL

Cris is quoting Keith quoting his sources after playing the hard tape on the Congressional Hearings from 2000 that was in F-911.

Oh... gotta love this shit!

Get well, Keith. We love you nearly as much as we love democracy!!

[Patsy Stone]

59. check

your PM...

[in_cog_ni_to]

56. On the show NOW!!! WooHoo!

as many as 6 Senators, lead by Boxer, will "probably" stand with the House of Reps! AWESOME! Chris Jansings said "I thought the election was over, but...(this challenge is coming). What rock has she been under? :eyes:

[dogindia]

57. GE and Corps still spinning

Negative end to segment.

[Patsy Stone]

58. Yep

Downplaying and back-peddling. I wish she had let that WaPo guy go on, I wanted to hear his opinion, not hers.

:)

[Clark2008]

60. Ah, well, it's still about 50 times better than what's on

the other corporate media stations.

:thumbsup:

[jazzjunkysue]

62. I really think this is it: There's too much smoke to not have fire.

We would not be hearing all of this if the senators were not on board. I think they might have decided to go together today, to lessen the political fall out. I bet they agreed to keep it quiet, and let Conyers be the mouthpiece.

Gonna be singin' tomorrow. Let's PRAY enough stay home to delay the whole thing FOR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the Bush crime family gets ZERO sleep tonight!!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

63. Tomorrow will be very interesting

one way or another. I am actually a little more curious about what will happen here on DU. It could be a server overload. Here's hoping the admins have their technical stuff together in the wake of a possible tsunami.

:)

[crispini]

64. I found ya'll... sort of!

HALF A DOZEN! Senators! wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

k, i'm gonna cancel my lunch date so i can watch c-span. :evilgrin:

And, i was out plotting our democratic takeover of the world. ya'll, we had 30 activists out for a cold January meeting about the freaking city council elections in MAY.

democrats are gonna kick some ass. that is all.

edit: crap, I'm getting lax! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[lady lib]

65. It's a beautiful thing!

Kinda restores your faith just a little...

[ClintCooper2003]

67. I support it! (As do the 3 or 4 million Kerry voters whose votes didn't

count).
