KOEB 7/19/06 The War continues & Bush's 1st veto

[ralps]

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, ralps

Is it just us tonight?

[ralps]

6. Hi SharonRB, It looks like it's you, Patsy, & me, and I'll have to leave

at about 7:30pm central time. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Bozo found the veto

and on such an important subject -- to the fundies.

:puke:


:hi:

[SharonRB]

3. Did you get the e-mail from Harry Reid?

It had a petition and an easy way to write a LTTE to any papers you want, locally or nationally. I wrote one. Mine never get printed, though.

[Patsy Stone]

9. It may be caught in the spam filter

I'll know in the morning.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

Are you on his list, or do you want me to forward it to you?

[Patsy Stone]

13. I believe

I am on every Dem's mailing list by now. :)

If I don't get it, I'll get it from you. Thanks!

[SharonRB]

15. I know I sure am

I got my first one from Harkins today.

[ralps]

11. Hi Patsy LOL, but it might be a good subject for our Democratic candidates

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

[RevCheesehead]

14. Especially Jim Doyle against Mark Green!

I got a mailing this week from the Doyle campaign. They did a side-by-side comparison of Doyle v. Green on pro-choice issues, etc. It was a thing of beauty!

[ralps]

21. I was also thinking og Jon Tester vs Conrad Burns & James Webb vs George

Allen. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Worst?Outfit?Ever?

What is with THIS combo??? Chalk-striped dark grey suit, the shirt with the thick blue stripes, and that blue gold and burgandy rep tie.

:wtf:

[SharonRB]

8. Exactly my first thought, Pats

I went "WTF is he wearing?"

[WolverineDG]

88. Is he colorblind?

Because even though I didn't see that outfit, um, yuk.

:hi: all!!!

dg

[gkhouston]

98. we've got to put out a contract on that tie

he has made so many bad combinations with it.

[SharonRB]

5. Great pic, ralps

I wonder what he's so worried about, though. Hmmm.....makes one wonder.

I should be faster tonight. Hubby hooked up a mousie for me and it's so much easier.

[RevCheesehead]

7. Hi ralps

So the world is still destoying itself, and we're worried about embryos. :banghead:

Keith: :loveya: - but I gotta say, TOO MUCH STRIPE!!

[ralps]

12. Hi RevCheesehead, How are you all doing?

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

[RevCheesehead]

17. The cats are in better shape than I am.

I'm still trying to rid myself of a sinus infection/bronchitis.
Damned auto a/c, and damned weather for forcing me to endure the a/c. x(

[gkhouston]

93. ?? you shouldn't be getting an infection from the a/c unless you've

gotten spores and yick in your car's ventilation system. It's best to try to run your a/c briefly about once a month year 'round. We use it down here to help defog the windshield in the winter.

[Patsy Stone]

19. Tony Snow

referred to them as fetuses.
:spank:

Hi, Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

20. Tony Snow needs to go back to Biology 101.

In fact, for the first few weeks, aren't they technically called zygotes?

[Patsy Stone]

22. Yes

and he was just playing for the pro-life crowd. But really, how can you tell me that abortion is wrong, but the death penalty is just fine? I love listening to people try and rationalize that.

:crazy:

[SharonRB]

23. He may have to go all the way back to 8th grade science

Hi, Rev


:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. I'd recommend the full tutorial.

He can begin in Kindergarten with the book "My Pet Zygote."

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

26. LOL!

AbFab!

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

28. Bwahahaaaa

:rofl:

Good one, Rev!

[RevCheesehead]

33. It was either that, or...

"Embryonic Stem-Cell Research for Dummies."

I think he'd prefer the book with the pictures.

[ralps]

29. LOL Maybe that should be one of the books in B*sh's pResidential Library

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

[bleever]

36. "My Pet Zygote".

*snork*

Bronchitis not dampening your wit, I'm glad to see.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Bleev, I'm glad you're here... I have a question for you.

Yesterday, I had a package of Ramen Noodle Soup for dinner. The package said it was "Oriental Flavor." What exactly is that? :shrug:

[bleever]

46. Must. Resist. First. Impulse.

...

Okay.

Oriental flavor means MSG, lightly seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and just a pinch of more MSG.

:)


O8)

[RevCheesehead]

48. Drat.

I was kinda counting on your first impulse. :P

[Botany]

10. Drive by blog

I can't Bay Air bush.



Off to the pool

If I can stay awake I will watch the 12:00 KO

BTW Around Cleveland a few years ago I met a Prof. from Case Western U.
he was working on spinal cord trauma using stem cell research .... he told me
that Germany, the U.K., France, and India all would be happy to have him work
there if he can't work here because of "stupid things." I guess today * was stupid.

[ralps]

16. Hi Botany, Cool Photo & have fun by the pool

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

[RevCheesehead]

18. The hypocrisy is damning.

So the blivet can't abide murder.
What the fuck is going on in Iraq? or Israel/Lebanon? :grr:

[Botany]

80. BUT THOSE ARE BROWN BABIES.

BTW in other news now Turkey wants to invade northern Iraq to
take care of their Kurdish problem.

[gkhouston]

92. blivet** only watches the first 5 minutes of Countdown with the sound off

and since the footer for the #5 story for the last two nights has been "Israel under fire", that means he's not yet aware that anyone in Lebanon has died. Not that he'd care much about some place where queer wimmen live, anyway. ;-)

[SharonRB]

25. Is FEMA in charge of getting Americans out?

I guess they found a use for those cruise ships they didn't use after Katrina.

[Patsy Stone]

27. I think it's the military

But I'm not sure.

[RevCheesehead]

30. I thought it was the State Department.

:shrug:

[SharonRB]

32. Actually, that's probably right

[SharonRB]

31. I think so, too, Pats

I was just kidding about FEMA, but it's about the same right now.

[RevCheesehead]

34. The sad truth, Sharon,

is that none of them know what in the hell they are doing. :(

[SharonRB]

41. Believe me, I know, Rev

[Patsy Stone]

44. Nary half a brain between them.

:(

[ralps]

35. Good Night Everyone, Have a great day tomorrow. I'm going to my meeting

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

[RevCheesehead]

37. See ya later, ralps!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

39. Hi everybody!

:hi: Checking in late, but been here all along!!

[RevCheesehead]

40. Hi, Berry!

I must know - what's your opinion of this outfit? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

45. My opinion of the outfit, especially for the Rev:

If he took the jacket off so I could see the lovely suspenders he probably has beneath, I could live with it.

If he took off the tie, even better.

If he took off the shirt, even better.

If he took off the pants, even better...

Oh, Keith....you can leave your suspenders on. :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

Cue Tom Jones!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

43. Drat, just missed ralps. Feel better, Cheeser.

I think Keith is right--we're playing "rope-a-dope" here. What a sorry situation.

* does indeed need to read "My Pet Zygote." He's unbelievable.

[RevCheesehead]

42. A TOON - From a post in GD (enjoy!)

[SharonRB]

47. And check out this little girl

A link to a thread with her photo giving * the finger:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=1677804

And this one was posted on Nancy Skinner's blog:

[RevCheesehead]

50. Bwahahaha!

Clearly, the child is gifted. :thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

55. She was raised right!

[bleever]

54. That is too damn funny...and they just showed it!

:rofl:

OMG.

[RevCheesehead]

56. She was also making a gagging motion....

Much like I do whenever chimpy speaks. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

58. Did you see a video?

I just saw the two photos.

[RevCheesehead]

60. They just showed it...

The Blivet's comments, surrounded by a group of children, who were born from donated embryos. :puke:

[SharonRB]

63. On KO?

I'm sitting right here. How did I miss it?

[Patsy Stone]

66. Subtlety

As Keith called it. :puke:

[bleever]

62. She was in the clip KO just showed, complete with

the adorably tiny flipping of the bird.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

59. Not unlike Andrea Merkel.

Make it stop!!! Make it STOP!!!

[bleever]

67. We're trying, we're trying!

:rofl:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

70. Please, I beg you...

Do it soon.

The noises at night are deafening.

[Berry Cool]

64. She's a smart girl who knows when she's being used as a prop.

This is so disgusting. Did you see that wink and smirk on his face? Disgusting.

Well, this idiot is so busy playing to his "base" (and "base" is a good term for them, given how base they are) that he stands to have his party lose the elections in the process...and if he is, and does, then GOOD! Keep it up, jerk!

[Patsy Stone]

68. I was wondering if he cemented or repelled more votes today.

I'm going with the latter.

[Berry Cool]

53. I love the cartoon.

Of course, the real issue is * can't tell the difference between a bowl of tapioca and his own brain.

And seriously, about Keith's outfit...someone needs to tell him that the key rule of wearing stripes is that if you wear one striped or checked thing, everything else you wear should be SOLID. I don't care what kind of crap advice he gets from his tailors who tell him mixing his stripes is "daring." Feh.

[Clark2008]

49. Sorry I'm late.

We got a house - will be a month or maybe two before we can move in, but we got a house. :hi:

And, I'm just sick over this "war," I'm tired of it, already. Can't we all just get along? :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

51. Hooray for you!!

Post a pic when you can! :hug:

[SharonRB]

75. Ooh, looks like you'll have to fumigate

Current owner is an Ohio State fan (sorry, Bot).

Very cute house, Clark.

[Patsy Stone]

79. I was waiting for that

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

85. I'm so predictable!

I knew someone would have expected me to say somethng. I just couldn't let it go.

[Clark2008]

82. Well, I'm a Tennessee fan, so yes.. the Ohio State crap

is going to have to go.

[Botany]

83. She can get this guy to clean the gutters.

[Clark2008]

84. Well, no... he may not take me as a client since my dog

can't see.

:P

[SharonRB]

87. Good one, Clark

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

86. I think he's kind of busy right now

Trying to figure out how to not lose 4 games this season.

[Botany]

90. Really cute - and a nice yard, too!

My very first parsonage was similar to that, but smaller. But it did have a kick-ass solarium on the back of the house. :)

Congrats, and let us know when we can have the housewarming party.
I'll try to bring the bartender. :loveya:

[gkhouston]

95. oh, this is great, Clark.

:thumbsup: Congratulations!!

[SharonRB]

52. Hi, Clark

Congrats on the house!
Have you seen the thread about the new MyDD poll? Clark is on top.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2731274

[bleever]

57. Congratulations!

:party:

Very happy for the three of youse.

[Patsy Stone]

61. WOOHOO!!!

:bounce:

Congrats! Mazel Tov!

Does it have stairs? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

69. Mazel Tov on the house.

See, it all worked out!

after pics posted: Yes indeed, very nice house!

[Clark2008]

77. Three stories

Ramz is happy. :7

:hi: Pats

Don't you like these houses I pick - just like shoes - they look small on the outside, but are warm, roomy and comfy on the inside. :rofl:

[gkhouston]

94. you got a house? Happy Dance!!!!

:bounce: Can you post pics???

[RevCheesehead]

65. *snark*

not to mention the "Pro Sunshine Bill" to be voted on later this week. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

71. That was the BEST part of the show...Keith on the hockey player

promoted directly to management.

I had a feeling he was going to make some kind of connection there to Dan Abrams...and he did...going off on a rant, how could they just take him and promote him like that...what would people think...and slowly the image of Dan fades in on the screen...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

76. Well, Keith managed to make the Brad Pitt segment easier to stomach.

It is much easier to listen to him talk about something that matters than about celebrity crap...especially when Keith gives him a wee little bit of respect for it. Mixed in with snark, of course. "That was Part II. There is no Part III, so you're safe now."

:loveya: Keith.

[gkhouston]

96. you laugh now... I wouldn't be surprised if they have one!!! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

74. 23 Tons?

Gee whiz.

[Berry Cool]

78. Yeah, you'd think one ton would be just fine.

I think this is what's called literal overkill. :shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

81. How much is too much?

Like Keith's outfit tonight. :)

[gkhouston]

97. well it depends on what you're trying to kill, I suppose.

Did you see The Daily Show last night, where it compared Israel's current "response" to the raid at Entebbe? Devastatingly true and funny at the same time.

[Gogi]

91. Thunderstorms came over...

power goes out for 5 hours, just another day in AmerenUE land! Congrats on the new house Clark!:toast: Lighten up people, KO dresses like the bachelor he is, I think it's cute!:loveya: I wonder if KO saw the nice little tribute to Buck O'Neil at the end of tonight's Colbert Repor'? Maybe it will be a top three soundbite.


:hi: KO (At least I missed tonight's Cards/Braves game. Why did the Yankees sign Ponson? Why did the Cards sign Weaver? Why is there a black hole at the center of the galaxy? Blank mysteries all!)
