KOEB 5/29/06 - Steroid boy passes the Babe edition

[SharonRB]

KO is probably pissed he's off tonight, but I'm sure he'll cover it again tomorrow.

[CBHagman]

1. I tuned in to enjoy Keith and found...

...the news is so horrifying that I feel nothing but rattled and angry.

Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney, and their ilk are so incompetent and vainglorious and contemptible. May the world soon stop paying their price for what they've done. Shame, ever shame, upon all their heads.

[SharonRB]

2. Hi, CB

Glad to see I'm not totally alone tonight, even though KO is still on vacation.

What you say is unfortunately oh, so true. A pox on all their houses.

[CBHagman]

7. Hi, Sharon.

:hi:

Yeah, what a way to begin the Memorial Day broadcast. Brian Unger's handling the job well, but I can only imagine how KO would approach this...

[SharonRB]

9. I know -- it's just not the same.

[Berry Cool]

11. Agreed.

:hi: CB and Sharon.

KO's supposed to be off till Wednesday. Wonder if he can stay away that long or if outrage will bring him back.

Well, there should be one piece of comic relief in tonight's show, anyway...the video Brian Unger just referred to, of a "local TV news investigation" that he claims you have to see to believe.

I am ashamed to say, this is a homegrown one. Courtesy of Channel 3 in Cleveland and their "investigative reporter," Carl Monday, whose idea of a great sweeps-month investigation was to go into the local libraries and find...guys in the computer area looking at porn sites. And not just looking at them, ifyaknowwhatImean.

The one shown on his report was caught, as Keith likes to put it, "practicing." I'm sure it will be of much amusement to Sharon that he's wearing an Ohio State shirt. As for Bleev? Not so much. :rofl:

Our intrepid reporter also goes to the guy's parents' house (where else would an unemployed guy who goes to the library to "practice" to online porn live, but with his parents?) to talk to them about it, and the father goes ballistic in quite an amusing way and threatens to rip the guy a new one.

I tried to watch this online, but it didn't work well on my dialup.

Sometimes, you will take any comic relief you can get--and I guess this counts.

...Oh man, here comes the Brangelina baby news. Please, producers, don't force Keith to cover this. :scared:

[CBHagman]

25. I may need to watch the library report.

...just to find something to laugh about. Thanks for the heads-up, BB!

:hi:

[Olney Blue]

8. I feel EXACTLY the same way. Been in a rage all day, even

as I've been posting that f&cking crying smiley all day long.

[WolverineDG]

3. I was going to skip tonight

but, as CB said, so many horrific things happened today, I had to tune in.

[SharonRB]

4. Hey, DG!

Happy Memorial Day to you. How was your day?

[WolverineDG]

13. Just fine!

Slept in. :thumbsup: Played with the cats & dogs. :thumbsup: Finally caught another stray kitten, who will be on his way to the shelter tomorrow. :thumbsup: Updated my blog (see link in my sig line) :thumbsup: Took a nap. :thumbsup: Played around with my new kitchen sink faucet (if you had seen the old set-up, you'd know why). :thumbsup: All in all, a good day!

And how was your day? :)

[SharonRB]

16. Melty

I walked in a parade with Nancy Skinner and it was almost 90 and muggy. We were absolutely melting. I was the only volunteer to come, so it was me, Nancy, her volunteer coordinator and her field manager. It was fun, but way too hot. Then Nancy took us out to lunch, which is where we heard about the CBS crew.

Joan Jett is giving a fundraising concert for her in NY, which Randi is MCing. I think Randi organized it for her. I really hope she can beat the incumbent.

Then hubby, daughter and I barbecued and relaxed a bit on the patio.

[WolverineDG]

31. Good for you!!

Although at 90 degrees, I've still got the windows open & the AC off (thanks to some trees that shade my house until early noon). I hope Nancy wins. I remember listening to her on the Doug Stephan show (way back when I didn't have a Sirius radio). I liked her.

[Olney Blue]

5. Hi Patsy!

:hi:

Glad to see you here. I've been angry all day at the Chimperor.

[SharonRB]

6. Patsy? Where's Patsy?

She must be invisible to me!

[Olney Blue]

10. Uh, sorry Sharon! I should have said "Sharon".

:blush:

[SharonRB]

12. LOL -- Just kidding, Olney

:hi:

How are you tonight? I've been angry at him since 2000, so today is nothing new in that department.

[Berry Cool]

14. Hey, rest of the gang. Guess we have to stay tuned in.

Otherwise we won't learn who caught the cheese.

[RevCheesehead]

43. You missed your chance, Berry.

You could have shoved a Bay Air under me. Unless you're keeping them all to yourself. :shrug:

[Olney Blue]

17. What did you do today?

I decided to stay home. I cooked a nice dinner for my family, and was on and off DU all day
while channel surfing. I watched "crash" on cable (wow, a great movie), and I saw the chimperor
defiling Arlington cemetery (had to switch channels fast).

I was also recovering from the bat mitzvah. Wow, they threw quite a party.

[RevCheesehead]

15. The Cheesy, Wheely Goodness is here!

And so am I! :hi:

[SharonRB]

18. Hey, Rev

:hi: And a happy Memorial Day to you.

[RevCheesehead]

21. Hi Sharon.

Sorry you were melting today, but how cool that you showed up to help Nancy! :applause:

Happy Memorial Day. :patriot:

[SharonRB]

30. I think she's a great candidate.

I still can't believe that out of 200 volunteers, I'm the only one who came today. She told me I earned a front row seat at her victory party!

[RevCheesehead]

45. From your mouth to God's ears.

"So it is spoken, so shall it be done." O8)

[Olney Blue]

53. What race is Nancy Skinner in?

[SharonRB]

54. Congressional race in the Michigan 9th district

against Joe Knollenberg.

[Olney Blue]

Good luck to her. Is Joe an incumbent?

[SharonRB]

58. He sure is.

And he's got a primary opponent -- a pro-choice, Lesbian "Republican." Obviously a RINO. She almost scares me more than Joe because she could conceivably pull voters who might otherwise vote for Nancy who are fed up with Joe. Of course, the far right of his supporters would never vote for her, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad if she won the primary. They might just stay home.

Nancy was supposed to have three other Dems to contend with in the primary, but they all dropped out of the race, so she's got a clear field.

[Olney Blue]

59. Good- she'll be more focused and have more money for the race.

A pro-choice, lesbian republican... maybe with Mary Cheney speaking out these women are emerging as
a force in their party.

[SharonRB]

60. Exactly!

Now that she's the only Democratic candidate, she'll be able to get more money nationally.

If you're not familiar with her, she used to be our morning person on our progressive talk radio station, until they lost their funding for the local morning show. She is originally from this area, but she had a syndicated show out of Chicago for a while and she ran in the primary against Barak Obama and three other candidates. Bad timing -- no one could have beat him. She's been involved in environmental issues for year, prior to being on the radio. She's very knowledgeable on all of the issues and has great national contacts.

Both Obama and Al Franken are supposed to be coming here to do fundraisers for her over the summer. When I met Randi in New York and told her I was working on the Nancy's campaign, she said to tell Nancy to call her for anything she needs. Obviously, that was true because she's doing that Joan Jett concert for her. Nancy has been on Randi's show, as well as on Tom Hartmann's.

[Olney Blue]

61. She sounds wonderful. What is her educational background?

[SharonRB]

64. I'm not sure about undergrad, but she went to

Michigan for grad school, I believe a business degree. (Another reason for me to like her so much, right?)

[Olney Blue]

65. Yes! Good school.

:)

[SharonRB]

66. My alma mater, of course.

[Olney Blue]

67. I never would have guessed!

:7

... what with all those M's on everything you own!

[Berry Cool]

19. Hi, Rev! Who caught you???

We want to know!!!

[Berry Cool]

22. For the record, once again I haven't done crap.

Except some grocery shopping. Went out to eat with a few sibs yesterday, that was it. :shrug:

I need motivation.

[RevCheesehead]

28. Maybe you need a weekend of doing NOTHING.

Shame on you for grocery shopping! :evilgrin:

I spent the early morning cleaning the gutters. :scared:
(I'm terrified of ladders, convinced I'm gonna fall off them... and I came damned close a couple of times.)

Oh, and my reward for all my hard work? A nice sunburn. x(

[Berry Cool]

39. Sorry about the sunburn.

It'd be one thing if I only had the occasional weekend of doing nothing...but that's how I spend EVERY weekend...listening to people tell me every week "Well, maybe you NEEDED a weekend of doing nothing" is no longer working, because now the honest answer is "No, frankly I needed one of doing something...and didn't get it."

[RevCheesehead]

55. Drive up here next weekend.

I only did the gutters in the backyard before I had enough. :)

I hear ya, Berry. Sometimes weekends just blow. Especially long ones.

[RevCheesehead]

23. Sparky.

A Loooooong time ago. :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

27. Hi Rev!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

29. Hi, Olney!

Happy Memorial Day! :patriot:

[Olney Blue]

36. Thank you. I never thought I would feel angry on this day!

About the troops who have died in the Chimperor's war.....

[RevCheesehead]

I know.

I'm on rage burn-out right now. But I totally understand. :hug:

[WolverineDG]

34. Hi Rev!

:hi:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

35. Hi Wolvie!

Have you been having a wonderfully lazy day? :hi:

[WolverineDG]

41. Yep!

Slept in AND took a nap. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

57. Hey, Wolvie

So where's Paul Hackett? I wonder if that was an old show when he subbed for Ed and not live today. I'm disappointed he wasn't on.

[WolverineDG]

62. No, it was a live show

He was talking about Haditha. Maybe he will be on tomorrow night? :shrug:

dg

[Olney Blue]

20. Is "Jacobs" usually a Jewish name?

I would not have assumed that!

[SharonRB]

24. Yes, it generally is.

[Patsy Stone]

63. I love a good Marlins story

:rofl: I cracked up yesterday when I heard this story. Too much.

Went to see the DaVinci Code. Missed the show. See you later, lady. I think I'm gonna be gone tomorrow, also. I have a Marlins game -- against steroid boy as a matter of fact.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

26. That's just too funny, they assumed the guy was Jewish.

Maybe they thought he was the gefilte fish of the Marlins.

And then we have criminals in Warren, Ohio. This is a night to be ashamed of our quadrant of the state. :blush:

[Olney Blue]

32. OMG, OSU

[Berry Cool]

33. Can I go on record to say two things?

1. I have never seen anyone at any libraries I have been to in that area doing ANYTHING like that.

2. Most of us in this part of the world do NOT consider that "havin' sex." :scared:

[RevCheesehead]

40. I thought it was a bit over the top.

So to speak.

Especially the "interview" with his parents. Oy vey.

[SharonRB]

42. OMG

That was hysterical. And Brian Unger was totally up to doing that story. His snark was dead on perfect -- "Woody Hayes is probably rolling over in his grave."

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

47. an unexpected golden moment.

I will gladly post Brian:loveya:Unger.
However, I will NOT be forming a BUEB. It's just.... well, :bounce::bounce:

[SharonRB]

49. I don't think you'd get many members anyway, Rev

Plus, the acronym is too weird.

[CBHagman]

46. Talk about social suicide.

The guy is ON TV being interviewed about masturbating in a public library while viewing porn, AND it is revealed that he lives with his parents.

Out of all these hundreds of millions of people in the country, they found one guy for whom that apparently is not a living nightmare. I tell you, the human race amazes me virtually every day.

[Berry Cool]

51. And don't forget, Bachelor Number 1 is also...

..unemployed! :applause:

[RevCheesehead]

52. I sincerely hope they'll give the janitor a raise.

Just because. Ewwww.

[RevCheesehead]

37. *snark*

Brian said "woody." :evilgrin:

[Olney Blue]

38. "good wood"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

44. I think the Woody Hayes ref was a shout-out to amuse Sharon.

As for me, I don't feel personal affinity to those guys, really. I didn't go to their school, so I've always felt a little strange thinking of them as mine. As for this guy, he's not even a student of theirs...a fact I'm sure OSU is highly grateful for.

[Berry Cool]

48. And doesn't it figure that the guy who caught #715

was just a guy standing in line to buy a beer?

Sheesh. I'm glad it's over. I wish everyone would just stop talking about the guy.

[RevCheesehead]

50. LOL

Poor Barry.. I don't think he has any fans anymore. :sarcasm:

[Berry Cool]

56. As long as he has one, it's too many.

And look who we get, even with no Keith...Michael Musto. It's a celeb baby birth, we can't have it without Musto. Oh well.

"1-800-Whore of Babylon"...that IS funny.
