KOEB Meeting -- 4/17/06: Anyone Bolten? Edition

[Patsy Stone]

[SharonRB]

1. Not me!

I'm waiting for Fitzach.

Woo hoo hoo -- MJPT!

[Patsy Stone]

3. Woo hoo hoo is right!

LOL! "I think I just heard the birth of a talking point." :)

Hot General on General action! Can we put the opposing generals on a chess board?

[ralps]

2. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone, I can't wait for the Michael Jackson Puppet Theatre

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

[Patsy Stone]

4. Hi, ralps!

Too bad Scotty won't tell us if he's leaving. :(

[SharonRB]

5. He can't...

it's an ongoing decision.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

8. And certainly not

from this podium. :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

26. Beat me to the podium gag

:rofl:

:hi: Pats! Nope, I'm not "bolten," except to NYC in a week & a half!! :bounce:

dg

[SharonRB]

35. And I'm bolten' right with ya

It's only 10 days now.

[WolverineDG]

46. woohoo!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi: Sharon! Are you having a happy Passover? :)

dg

[SharonRB]

51. Not much different than any other days

except I'm not eating any bread products.

Hmmmmm....it's supposed to be different, though, isn't it?

[WolverineDG]

60. LOL

The original Atkins diet, huh? ;)

dg

[SharonRB]

63. Sort of, but I am eating matzah, so not quite.

[Patsy Stone]

97. I am so jealous

and I can't go. :(

Next time, I'm going, dammit!

[SharonRB]

100. We want you there, Pats.

I really wish you could figure out some way to join us.

[WolverineDG]

111. I know

:(

I was hoping you'd be able to come somehow. :( It won't be the same without ya.

dg

[ralps]

10. Mike Malloy (from what I remember) was predicting that Simple Scotty

would leave within a month. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

6. I think Geena Davis did the same thing

at her first cabinet meeting on Commander in Chief. And then she fired everyone, didn't she? I think so. Maybe they're out of ideas and cribbing a plan from TV and movies? :shrug:

[bleever]

16. Does that show earn the Patsy Stone Seal of Approval?

Inquiring minds want to know!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

30. It has its moments

but it's not a regular fix like 24; and I like the guy who plays her husband. He was on Homicide: Life on the Street which did earn the coveted seal. It's also interesting that she's an Independent and Donald Sutherland always chews up the scenery. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

7. For those of you scoring at home...

or even if you're alone.... :rofl:

Hiya, KOEBabes! :hi:

Keith & the Tigger Tie: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

9. Hey, Rev.

Did you have a nice Easter?

[RevCheesehead]

15. We sure did.

My Dad was here since last Wednesday, and I just took him back home today. It was great being together - it helped both of us, too.

Has Passover already been? Or is it coming up? (sorry to be so ignorant, I've not been watching TV or reading the computer lately). If so, did you have a good one? :hi:

[SharonRB]

23. It's in the middle

It started Wednesday night and ends this Thursday night.


You've had way more on your mind than keeping track of Passover.

[RevCheesehead]

27. I suppose that's true.

But even so.... what's the traditional Passover greeting? Blessed Pesach?

[SharonRB]

32. A zissen Pesach or

Happy Pesach.

[RevCheesehead]

50. Thanks.

A zissen Pesach to you, Sharon! :toast:

[SharonRB]

52. Thanks, Rev.

[Patsy Stone]

11. Hiya, Rev!

Happy post-Holy week. :) How did that all go?

[RevCheesehead]

17. It was exhausting, but good.

Fortunately, my Dad is low-maintenance, so we just hung around the house, watched TV and DVD's of Hogan's Heroes. You know - typical Easter stuff. :)

[ralps]

13. Hi RevCheesehead, I hope you all had a really great easter.

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

[RevCheesehead]

18. We did!

And how was your family gathering? :hi:

[ralps]

It was pretty good, My more liberal brother my dad & I sort of discussed

politics & Finally, maybe my dad might be fed up with George W Bush & James Sensenbrenner. In the past we just simply haven't discussed politics because it would piss him off. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Wow!! Is he gonna vote for Kennedy?

One less vote for Puffy Jim!!! :bounce::bounce:

Well done, my friend!! :toast:

[ralps]

54. I don't think my dad has quite gotten to that point yet. but who knows???

Senselessbrenner lives on Pine Lake near my parents so everytime I go past his property I give him the finger & as soon as Brian Kennedy has some signs I'm planning on putting some along Hwy C near Nashotah. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

59. Hey ralps - -

:yourock:

[bleever]

14. He's used that line before. Still funny.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

19. Whereas you NEVER recycle material, do ya?

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[bleever]

28. Steal from the best, that's my motto.

O8)

[bleever]

12. 278 emails from Abramoff to Safavian.

"Golf, golf, golf!!!"


:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

20. Hi Ms. Stone! How are you tonight?

Hi everyone!


:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

21. Oh, Jack...

Which Senator? Why won't Savavian cut a deal? I have a million questions.

[ralps]

22. Cool if Conrad Burns is involved with Abramoff

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

[bleever]

24. David Shuster has my respect. He's a fine reporter.

:thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

29. Then you should add floaties....

like this:

David:loveya:Shuster

[WolverineDG]

34. Pssst, Rev

Bleever's a guy. Why would he :loveya: another guy?

btw, I second the KO & Tiggr tie :loveya:

dg

[Olney Blue]

44. Agree, bleever. How was your relevant holiday?

[bleever]

68. Free of the need to eat either gefilte or Marshmallow Peeps.

:)

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

78. Oh? You are a Druid?

:)

[Patsy Stone]

83. Nah

He probably just didn't go shopping. :hi:

[SharonRB]

84. That would make him Druish.

[Olney Blue]

87. Oh, I see.....

:rofl:

[bleever]

89. Yikes! I definitely don't look Druish!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

93. This is actually what I had in mind

[RevCheesehead]

25. Awwww - Keith said "Binky".

[WolverineDG]

31. Aw, cute baby!

As for this Scientology crap, I recall when Lisa Marie Presley was having her 1st kid. There were discussions then about her having to have the baby in silence (she was/is a member of this cult). So Tom saying that it's not true is complete bullshit.

dg

[gkhouston]

113. every time I hear this "silent birth" crap I wonder about

the stress hormones the mom must be dumping into her bloodstream (and via the placenta into the baby's bloodstream) because she's suppressing the need to make noise. Wouldn't it be healthier to moan or yell if you needed to? And this postnatal sensory deprivation crap sounds even worse.

[WolverineDG]

117. L. Ron Hubbard was full of it

said my dad the sci-fi nut. If you really want to see the Scientologists come unhinged, tell them L. Ron died decades ago. :evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

33. Craig Crawford!

And David Shuster. It's a good night. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

40. I adore him!

Craig:loveya:Crawford

[Patsy Stone]

42. He's just so hamish

and folksy. Let's invite him over for pie and coffee.

[RevCheesehead]

47. How about pizza and beer instead?

I think he'd enjoy that. I know I would. :9

[SharonRB]

48. Some cherry pie and a fine cup o' joe!

[Patsy Stone]

72. What kind of fantastic trees do you have growing around here?

[SharonRB]

74. He showed up on Desperate Housewives last night

I don't know if it was a one-off guest shot or if he's going to be on again. He looked better when he was younger in his TP days.

[Patsy Stone]

79. I saw!

And Carol Burnett too. She was great. He looked better to me last night then he did on Sex and the City. Confession? He's on my "list". :loveya:

[SharonRB]

82. He didn't look bad, but there's this weird exaggeration of his

features that's happened as he's gotten older. He was at his "peak" during TP!

I knew Carol Burnett was going to be on. She was great.

[Patsy Stone]

91. Yes he was.

I think he's too thin in the face and his longer hair adds to the exaggerated effect. Still: :loveya:

When we went to Seattle we took a trip out to Snoqualmie Falls (from the opening) and it's also where the lodge that they used for the Great Northern is. Then on to North Bend for coffee and pie. They used the inside of a real cafe and David Lynch ate there several times a week. We also went to Roslyn, where Northern Exposure was filmed, because it was right there -- and because we're geeks. :) This was all on the way out to camp on the beach, so it's not like we made a special trip or anything. :blush:

[RevCheesehead]

36. Ho-lee shit! Are these numbers for real???

60%? SIXTY??? :woohoo::bounce:

40% STRONGLY DISAPPROVE??????

WELL, GOOD MORNING, AMERICA - IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!

[Patsy Stone]

39. I believe

that people can't stand the sight of him -- finally!

[RevCheesehead]

43. This is what I get for driving all day long.

But I listened to Ed Schultz for a couple of hours when I drove home. He didn't say anything about these numbers.

Color me Happy!

[Olney Blue]

41. Yes, but he said that GOP would still hold House if elections

were held today. Uh-oh.

Sounds like Craig and Keith are giving some tips to the Dems.

[babylonsister]

49. Sure did; tips like, it's time to talk about impeachment nationally.

I hope someone's listening!

[Olney Blue]

53. Hi babylon- I saw you all over the board this weekend!

:hi:

[babylonsister]

65. Hi, O B! I do check in

frequently! :rofl:

Actually, I was kind of MIA Saturday; had company and a construction project.:crazy:

But normally my DH spends time at his coin forum, I visit DU! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

56. Or to back Feingold's censure resolution.

Hi, babylonsister! :hi:

[babylonsister]

66. Hey, Rev! HAven't been here in awhile, but put KO Group

back in my faves, so I expect to stop in more often! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

101. I'm listening!

Hi, babylonsister! Always a pleasure to see you. :hi:

[babylonsister]

104. Hi, Patsy! Same to you!

:hi: Now I have to go watch another guilty pleasure, "24".

[Patsy Stone]

107. I tape it.

So I can rewind the parts I wanna watch again. :blush:

[SharonRB]

55. They need to pay attention

And they all need to read Carville & Begala's book.

[babylonsister]

69. Agree, Sharon. I understand why everyone thinks impeachment

is out of the realm of possibility until November, but with all the lousy poll numbers, perhaps
starting a dialogue wouldn't be a bad thing. :patriot:

[SharonRB]

73. I'm with you, babylonsister.

No time is too soon for me.

[SharonRB]

45. 47% strongly disapprove!

Guess the two women in the offices near mine haven't gotten the word yet. They still think the Dems are as much at fault as the Repukes. They're obviously not paying attention or have blinders on.

[Olney Blue]

70. You have to wonder about people like that.....

they don't have a boy playing a banjo on their front porch, do they?

[SharonRB]

75. LOL

I don't think so -- I've never been to either of their homes, but one lives in a condo, so I know she doesn't. The other one's dog's name is Reagan and she was only in high school when he was in the WH. Need I say more?

[Olney Blue]

81. No, but it's too late.....

:puke:

[Olney Blue]

37. Craig Crawford - sounding alarm about Dems winning by default.

[RevCheesehead]

57. Keith's hand sounds a lot like Mickey Mouse.

Who'd a thunk? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

58. Tsuright?

Tsuright. Aw, Senor Wences...

[bleever]

61. Senor Wences! S'alright?

S'alright.



:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

64. LOL!

It's even funnier when posted twice!! :rofl:


You really DO steal from the best, don't ya?? :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

67. That's funny!

I posted and ran because I was nudged and had to look at something "right now". :)

Great minds think alike... and you know the rest.

[bleever]

71. LOL.

S'alright!


:)

[Patsy Stone]

62. Okay. How cute were those pigs?

Woooy.

[ralps]

76. LOL Scientology has one set of rules for celebrities & another set of

rules for everyone else. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

77. Just like life, huh?

[SharonRB]

80. Nicole got out just in time, I think

She's so much better off without his looniness.

[Olney Blue]

85. Yes, it worked out much better for her, I think.

[Patsy Stone]

109. I liked her so much more

once she left him.

[ralps]

86. Michael Jackson Theatre!!!!!

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

[bleever]

88. My theory is that Katie's pregnancy is via test-tube, that she's a virgin

even now, and it's part of some very strange story wherein Tom seeks to have a Scientology-style Superbaby, born of a virgin. Maybe the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard.

:tinfoilhat:

[Olney Blue]

92. That sounds very Druish to me.

[Patsy Stone]

94. Please

step away from the keyboard... :rofl:

[ralps]

90. Today's worst person in the world is.... Michelle Malkin!!! for posting

names & phone # of some protesters. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Olney Blue]

95. How can anyone be that dumb?

Hi ralps!

[ralps]

99. Hi Olney Blue

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

[ralps]

96. LOL The Unsexy 100!! Bill O'Reilly at #58

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

[RevCheesehead]

98. How about Don Imus?

"Like having sex with an old leather handbag." :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

102. I don't think Bill Maher belongs on this list.

I think he has a good brain- and that's sexy to me.

[SharonRB]

105. I don't think he does either.

[Patsy Stone]

106. But not in a *good* way.

:rofl:

Poor Gilbert! And Chris Kattan? They couldn't do any worse than that?

[Olney Blue]

110. Dick Cheney is much less sexy that those two.

[ralps]

108. I'm in the process of getting the article but it's taking a while to load

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

[RevCheesehead]

103. WHICH women???

:rofl: Traitors!!!!

[Berry Cool]

112. I sure don't wanna know 'em!

Just stopping by to say hi and hope everyone had a Zissen Pesach or Happy Easter or whatever. I had another late night tonight and so had to come back and watch my tape of the Keefster doing Senor Wences and ragging on Bill-O and Tom-O. Great show!

[gkhouston]

114. "traitors" wasn't the word that came to mind

actually, no words came to mind. I was so... completely... boggled. I'm still not getting why Gottfried is so many places worse off than O'Reilly. Yes, the voice is annoying and I can't say he's got any sex appeal, but he's not actually repulsive, more a neutral, IMHO. O'Reilly, on the other hand... um, could we put him on the other hand in some other galaxy?

[RevCheesehead]

115. Actually, my comment was about Cheney's omission from the list.

The guy said that there apparently ARE some women who find him sexy. :puke:

[gkhouston]

116. Michelle Malkin, perhaps?

it's not like anything else she thinks makes sense. :silly:

[CBHagman]

118. And what is Edward James Olmos doing on that list?

What substances were abused during the course of compiling the list? Olmos was number 27!





Link to the complete list:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12190404/

[Patsy Stone]

119. Hey, CB!

I want to hold a "Whisper-Off" between Edward James Olmos, Kiefer Sutherland and David Caruso. Who do you think would win? Tough question, isn't it?

:hi:

[CBHagman]

120. My money's on Olmos, Patsela.

I just have a feeling about that. :shrug:

:hi:
