[Patsy Stone]

Fitzgerald back in front of the GJ
Big Brother is Watching YOU!

Which of these stories will you be talking about later at DU?



:loveya::loveya:


Oh, and, Shabbat Shalom, y'all! :hi:

[Berry Cool]

1. Drat, I posted one too! With the new Rolling Stone pic!

Which one you want to use?



Edited to bring my pic over here too just in case...

[Patsy Stone]

12. I'm glad you did.

Hiya! How's things? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

31. Things are good.

It's the end of another work week, it's only a week before Xmas (for me anyway) and I've got wrist hair and caterpillars. How about you? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

37. Still have to do my shopping (oops).

It's a good thing it's Friday, because this week at work was long enough, and I'm sitting in my house and chatting with all of you.

:toast:

LOL. These JibJab guys not only look exactly alike, but they have the same voice.

[RevCheesehead]

16. I'm seeing wrist-hair...

...and those cheekbones!! :9
... and those caterpillars!!! :9 :loveya::loveya:

[Botany]

2. Hi Patsy

[Berry Cool]

3. Hi Patsy and Bot.

We get the JibJab guys tonight. Should be fun!

[Berry Cool]

4. mmmmm...

...lasagna!!!!

[bleever]

39. Are there worms in that?

Looks good.

[Botany]

43. Yes

and it is kosher too.

:rofl:

[bleever]

70. Have one of these:

Don't miss the shamrock in the foam.

[Patsy Stone]

44. There'd better be

Or I'm not having any. :hi:

[SharonRB]

5. Hi, Pats

I just watched my tape of last night's show. Glad I taped it -- it was great. I loved when he called the four Vikings the foreplayers (at least that's how I figured he meant it, knowing him).

And Michigan's own John Dingell was great.

[RevCheesehead]

6. "There's a Penguin on the telly!"

Hello, everyone! :hi:

Keith, looking good as always: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Burma!

How are ya? :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Well rested, after my nap.

And you? Still grouchy? :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

17. Cranky.

Not grouchy. :)

No. I'm much, much better. It's amazing what going home can do for one's mood. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Okay, that look on Jim Lehrer's face

as he's listening to * in the very beginning of the interview. He rolled his eyes.

LOFL!

[RevCheesehead]

24. That was the better option.

They had to cut away when he began puking. :eyes:

[Botany]

32. How is my Fav EDV?

Please don't tell the others. Shh

BTW bush I didn't say what you have me on tape saying ..... it was about a presumption of
innocence ......

Gee, asshat why didn't you just say that in the first place?

[RevCheesehead]

45. He is one of the worst liars I have ever seen.

Honestly, Mama, I didn't take those cookies... it must have been Jeb. (said, of course, while wiping cookie crumbs off his face).

That air-dog must have jumped up and hit him on the jaw, too, cause that was twitching away through the whole thing.

[Botany]

50. did you catch the snort at the end?

I .... I .... I ..... well the story is Iraqi elections.


For you My Fav ..... please don't tell the others

[RevCheesehead]

53. yummy.

I've got some frozen pre-cooked brats in the freezer. What a great idea!

You're too kind, and oh, so cuddly. :hug:

[SharonRB]

7. Oh, and Shabbat Shalom to you, too.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Hey, you're here!

A mechaiah! :)

[SharonRB]

13. Thanks -- I got back from the fraudulent state of Ohio

at about 6:30.

[Berry Cool]

36. Sharon, *Ohio* is NOT fraudulent.

Its VOTING system is.

Please remember that. Thanks.

[Botany]

64. Cheers to Carr staying on @ U of M

and to bush going down fast.

BTW did i ever tell you that :rofl:

also when you get a chance please check out the link I posted about election fraud ....
bad machine in Florida = Ohio repugs trying to hide the machine from public.

[SharonRB]

69. I haven't seen a paper in two days

I wish he would leave. We need a new coach. I'm sure all OSU fans are thrilled if he has decided for sure to stay -- not that I thought there was any chance he'd leave.

I read the article on Rawstory before I got onto DU tonight, and I also saw your link.

[SharonRB]

11. WTF

Opposite Desperate Housewives? Who does he think he is -- President of the United States?

[Botany]

14. Jim L!

Man is bush a bad speaker ..... especially when he is lying.

"It is not a major story ... the Iraqi elections are the story."

Twitch stammer smirk and then a really strange nose snort.

[Patsy Stone]

42. He also gave him the out when he couldn't

formulate the phrase "presumed innocent". Jim, you should have just let that dribble out too. OMG.

Yum! Worms. :hi:

[Botany]

48. you caught that too

innocent until proved not innocent? how about?
A presumption of innocence until proved otherwise in a court of law.

shit wit!

p.s. when you get a chance look @ my post in the KOEB .... I put together a nice link from
Diebold in Florida to Ohio repugs trying to hide the bad machines.

[Patsy Stone]

51. Will do

This too will be exposed. You know, I always knew there'd be a second term scandal. But all of this is so much more than I'd ever dreamed possible. :)

[Botany]

55. Party

he is going down fast!

no torture .... no patriot act ..... and now repugs want to look @ his spying.

:rofl:

get you a drink .... my Fav EDV?

[Patsy Stone]

63. Absolutely, thanks!

That platter looks too good to waste. :)

[Botany]

71. Drink?

any other thing you want to nosh on?



crab cakes?

[Patsy Stone]

75. Allergic to shellfish and mollusks.

So, no. But, I'd love a martini and a filet mignon. :)

[Botany]

78. OK

[Patsy Stone]

83. Darling! Absolutely Fabulous!

And, Ian Fleming, too.

:yourock:

[ralps]

15. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone

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

[Patsy Stone]

33. Hi, ralps.

Happy Friday.

[RevCheesehead]

18. Novakula to FOX?

A match made in hell.
But I can't help but wonder what the neocons are going to think of him for stirring the shitpot in the first place. :puke:

[ralps]

20. Yep, Poor Georgie has to back track on his Delay comments

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

[Patsy Stone]

21. RIP John Spencer

A great actor.

[SharonRB]

25. He was so young -- I heard about it during Tweety's show

[Patsy Stone]

28. I heard it on the news on Ed Schultz.

So sad. He was wonderful. I loved LA Law. Such good cheese.

[bleever]

61. I liked him on L.A. Law too. He was great.

RIP, Mr. Spencer.

[SharonRB]

22. I heard this just a little while ago

I'm so sad. I wonder what they're going to do with the plot now. Santos won't have a running mate.

[ralps]

26. I'm sure they'll figure something out

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

[CBHagman]

23. Somebody get that THING out of my TV set!

That thing with Jim Lehrer.

Oh, dear God. Keith just moved to the John Spencer story. Oh, no. :cry:

[Berry Cool]

29. Yea!!!! We get extra Keith Sunday night!!!!

At least if we have to have * yet again trying to speechify us, we get to hear Keith MST3K it.

He's too stripey tonight, but he still looks great. :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

95. at least it wasn't

stripes-on-stripes-on-stripes. :crazy:

i just caught the tail-end of the show, so will have to catch the rest at the repeat.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

102. Aw... MST3K. *sniff* n/t

[RevCheesehead]

27. I'm a bit sad that Keith didn't mention the death of Bill Proxmire.

One of the best progressive dems to ever go to Washington.
To Bill: :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

30. I've heard very little about it in general

???

[RevCheesehead]

34. He died yesterday.

He's the one who started the Golden Fleece Awards.

He was sick for quite a while, and died of Alzheimer's. Really sad.

[Patsy Stone]

40. I knew he died

and I was agreeing with you that Keith didn't talk about it. I was also saying that I hadn't heard much about it anywhere else besides the CNN story I read.

[Berry Cool]

38. I was actually surprised he didn't last night.

You'd think Keith would mourn the passing of Mr. Golden Fleece.

And he's your Wisconsin guy. :-(

[RevCheesehead]

41. Not only that,

He's the one who took Joe McCarthy's seat.
We've had only Dem Senators ever since.

[Greylyn58]

35. Howdy Everyone

Wow...things are really cooking. I think it's time we pan-fry the Shrub!!

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Keith is really been on a roll of late. Go Keith Go!!! Gotta love him. :loveya: :loveya:

[CBHagman]

46. I'll join you in the kitchen.

I think I have some nice canola oil spray to use on Bush -- the better to prevent him from sticking. Anybody got a spatula? :evilgrin:

[Berry Cool]

80. Here.

It's time we gave this guy the "Aunt Jemima Treatment"!

[Botany]

58. How is my Fav EDV?

[Greylyn58]

65. Ooooh Nooooo.....

It's Sheridan's favorite goodie!! He is a total Milk-Bone junkie!!! He loves those things and it's all my fault for giving the first one. :evilgrin:

We are doing fine. Sheridan gives everyone a big WOOF WOOF!! Actually I'm delivering the woof for him as he is spralled on the floor asleep. :)

[Berry Cool]

81. And a WOOF to Sheridan!

and hi Grey! All your pics are so good.

[ralps]

47. Yay, Animal oddball!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

49. OK Berry -

They cut away before the money shot.
Jeans? or Not?

[Patsy Stone]

52. I thought I saw a touch of blue.

I love that Howard gave himself a parade and a party. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

84. You can't tell, the camera angle was bad.

I think the Countdown staff is deliberately thwarting me now. Boo hoo!:cry:

[Patsy Stone]

54. Is this the same Katie interview?

Or a different one from today?

[RevCheesehead]

57. I think it's the same one.

Katie looks the same to me.

[bleever]

59. Rerun. Why? Not that I mind all that much.

Godspeed, Howard.

[Patsy Stone]

62. Phoning it in?

It's the holidays? It's in the can?

I really don't know if I need satellite radio yet. Maybe next year. Howard will still be there. :)

How's things?

[bleever]

66. Things is good. Wouldn't mind being someplace warmer right now.

And, hard to pay for radio when you're likely to listen to three or four out of the 150 channels.

[Patsy Stone]

72. Yep.

And then there are my CDs. When would I listen to them?

[Berry Cool]

93. It's not hard for me to pay for radio at all.

I got XM in part so I could listen to Keith on Dan's show (which isn't carried on radio anywhere around here). Great investment. Now that Keith's on five days a week I can listen to and record him every day. When he's not on, I enjoy the many other channels. I don't listen to just three or four--I'd say I listen pretty regularly to the decades channels (but mostly 60s, 70s and 80s) and the soul channel, and some of the holiday channels right now--but also alternative stuff and channels that mix up the music styles a bit, and occasionally the Broadway or classical channels. I listen to Dan and Keith on ESPN Radio and sometimes to Keith on the midnight rerun of Countdown (yes, they have an MSNBC channel, which Sirius doesn't). There's other good news (although a bit too much Fox for my liking), major league baseball (which is why you'd think Keith would get it), good comedy channels and all kinds of Canadian stuff since they expanded into Canada.

And I don't have to hear the same 20 songs beloved by teenagers over and over.

I never want to listen to terrestrial radio again! Clear Channel stinks!

[Patsy Stone]

100. Clear Channel stinks, is right.

I've listened to streaming ESPN radio. I listen to very little radio. Neil Rogers, a local talk show host here, in the morning if I'm late to work and during lunch. Maybe Ed or Randi on the way home until I just want to play a CD. I don't know. I have digital cable and a bazillion movie channels. I swear I spend more time flipping between the channels than I do actually watching anything. I can imagine I'd have the same problem and never be sure what I want to listen to. :)

[bleever]

109. Interesting. Maybe I should look again. I could flip back and forth

between a bunch of those.

Of course, sometimes there's nothing in the world like your favorite CDs.

[WolverineDG]

97. i love my sirius sat rad

even though aar left them in the dust (ptooey to them, especially after dumping marc maron :thumbsdown: ), i can get sirius left which has some good shows (but also some crappy ones--alex bennett, lynn samuels). if i'm in the car when one of those shows is on, i just flip it over to channel 2 & listen to holiday music, or find something else to listen to.

i doubt i'll listen to howard stern, but hey, you never know....

dg

[Gogi]

98. KO should chill on the free v. pay radio.

I just bought an xm radio set just to listen to Dan Patrick's show.:radio: KO is going to be a satellite radio star himself!


:hi:

[Berry Cool]

119. Exactimundo! Keith being on Dan's show was 80% of the reason I bought XM.

And now that I can hear MSNBC on XM, I get the fun of listening to Keith do ads for them that they run during their Countdown broadcast. "It's radio to the power of X!"

I love my CDs, and I loved putting my favorite songs on my iPod, but you know what? I don't own all my favorite songs or all the songs I might just like to hear once in a while without having to purchase every one. XM lets me listen to them without having to own them all. Even better, it introduces me to stuff I've never heard before, which is something your CD collection will never do. It will never show you what you MIGHT like if only you had a chance to hear it. Oh, and XM gets Air America too.

I can see where people might figure they have a million TV channels so do they want a radio with hundreds? As for me, I keep my TV viewing down (I pay only for cable at a tier high enough to get me stuff like MSNBC--no pay movie channels) and listen a lot to my XM radio. And before that, I had stopped listening to terrestrial radio at all, because it bored me to tears.

[Gogi]

124. Hey, Berrybush!

Thanks for the hotwire posting, I will look at it. Most modern hotels have handicapped rooms and I'm not THAT far gone, my main concern is the bathroom.

When I get my XM up and running I'll have the best of both worlds. I get the Sirius radio music channels on Dish and, you're right, I've heard many new songs that have become favorites. I especially like Jaggar's "My Sweet Neocon" and "Through These Cold Fingers" by an artist I can't remember now.

[Berry Cool]

85. It's the exact same interview. Talk about a waste of good time.

Keith. You should NOT be rerunning old interviews on your show, even if forced to pimp Katie. For shame.

[Patsy Stone]

86. Right?

Also, The Aunt Jemima Treatment... :rofl:

[ralps]

56. Well I guess we just have to see the Katie Coric interview one more

time. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Botany]

60. and to think they could have given the time to Perky Girl

[ralps]

67. Today's worst person in the World is-- Bill O'Reilly!!!!!

The war on Christmas is the fault of The Catholic Church!!!!!!!!!!! according to Bill :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :yoiks:

[Botany]

76. You think bill would learn to shut up after he got smacked by

Dingell?

[Gogi]

106. Bot, this picture reminds me of the original Star Trek episode...

"The Doomsday Machine", that episode could be an allegory for the Bush Administration, our constitutional rights went in and never came out.:scared: Starring Bill O'Really, Rush Limbaugh and Bush the Wonder Monkey. Special Guest Star Alberto Gonsalez as the Doomsday Machine. Cameo by Dick Cheney.:popcorn:


On edit: It's sad but I could'nt think of anyone to play the hero.

[Patsy Stone]

107. Why, Patrick J. Fitzgerald,

of course. :hi:

[Gogi]

113. Now, why did'nt I think of him!

Probably did'nt because I fell asleep in my chair earlier. By the way, my parents are giving me one of those super-duper electric powered lounge chairs for X-mas (take that O'really!). Now I can lay back and fall asleep in the living room with the cat on my stomach.:rofl: I can see it now: T-Rex jumps on the arm of the chair and licks my nose because he wants cat treats.

[RevCheesehead]

110. If Scooter squeals like a pig,

he could play Captain Matt Decker.


Ultimately, he was so wracked with guilt that he sacrificed his own life to try to destroy that overgrown cornucopia.

[Patsy Stone]

112. I beg you

with all that I am...

Pleeeeeze see Trekkies. Please.



You will love every single moment of it. This I promise.

[RevCheesehead]

116. For you, Pats, anything.

I'll probably need to order it, though. Video stores here are sadly lacking.

[Patsy Stone]

117. $8.80

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/0792158776/ref=dp_olp_2//103-7407572-4391804?condition=all

Please. For the SpinerFem ALONE! If not the rest of it. The interview between Denise Crosby and Brent Spiner is so funny. Just a perfect little documentary on the "Cult of Trek". Even an argument about differences between "Trekkies" and "Trekkers". All so so good.

[RevCheesehead]

118. Kewl!

Added it to my wish list. With any luck, I'll get an Amazon giftcard for Christmas, or my birthday.

(I told my brother "Think Amazon." Hope he remembers.)

[WolverineDG]

99. I thought he was Catholic!!!!

:wtf:

don't tell me he's one of those latin rite wack-jobs like my cousin!!!!!!!! those guys are :scared:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

68. O'Lielly AGAIN!?!

Who was it that suggested they rename the award the Bill O'Rielly Worst Person in the World Award and get it over with?

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

87. That was me, Patsela.

Just call it "The Bill O'Reilly Worst Person in the World Award" and be done with it!

But of course, if Keith did that, I'd SO miss the roaring laugh I get every night that I see Bill's grumpy mug appear under that Santa hat.

[Patsy Stone]

90. I thought it was you

but I wasn't sure. And you'll miss it because you'll have passed out from the rapture. :)

[Berry Cool]

94. Rapture? Bill O'Reilly doesn't give me rapture.

What do I look like, a girl who gets off on loofahs and falafels?

Now, as for Keith...ahh...

[Patsy Stone]

96. Of course, Keith

When you realize he's renamed it because of you!

[WolverineDG]

105. oh lord, not again

(a) we need to get a padded floor. i'm worried that berry will get a concussion from hitting the hard wood so much.

(b) berry, you need to practice your swooning so that when it actually occurs, you land in a more, um, ladylike position.

;)

dg

[Berry Cool]

120. Maybe what I really need is a padded ROOM.

That way, I'm not a danger to myself and others.

As for landing in a ladylike position...well, wasn't that a ladylike position? I mean, with a landing like that, how can anyone NOT tell that I'm a lady, as opposed to a gentleman? :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

121. no danger to us

we just step around you & keep partyin' on. :evilgrin: (in case you didn't notice) sometimes, someone will even yell 'TIMMMMMMBERRRRRRRRRRRRR' when you fall, too, so anyone in the area can step out of your way. the only concern left is making sure you don't bang your head too hard on the floor....too many of those & you'll go :crazy:

;)

dg

[Berry Cool]

122. Ah, but you don't realize one thing...

I'm already :crazy:

[RevCheesehead]

123. You realize, don't you, that the solution is simple?

We pack the clubhouse with Bay Air rugs. LIVING Bay Air rugs... we just let them in to frolick, or just hibernate in the room in front of the fireplace. When Berry goes "swoon", we push a sleeping Bay Aire beneath her, and she cushions her fall.




It's a practical idea. The Bay Airs can blog the show when we're busy:



They can fetch ice for the bar:


They can tuck us in when we fall asleep:


They'll eat up the leftover holiday candy:


They can help with the cooking, and do the dishes:



And, of course, they can frolick on the clubhouse trampoline:

and make sure we get our exercise, too:

[ralps]

73. Furry Oddballs!!

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

[Patsy Stone]

74. Wipe Out!

Oh, that poor little mouse.

Two Bay Air stories!

[ralps]

77. Good Night Everyone, Have a great weekend!

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

[RevCheesehead]

79. Bye, ralps!

:hi: Have a great one!

[Botany]

82. night Rev

by the way did i ever tell you that you are my Fav EDV?

p.s. Bay Air shout out?

:hi: KO

[Berry Cool]

89. Good night all, and those Bay Airs were definitely for us.

Boy, he was really moved by Spencer, wasn't he? Had to be, to dedicate the show to him and cut the paper-wad toss.

:loveya: for feeling Keith.

See ya Sunday, sweetie!

[RevCheesehead]

91. Mmmmm..... Cheesecake!

What a perfect ending to a delicious meal!

Cuddles, just how is it that Miss Stephanie hasn't snatched you up yet?
:hug:

[Patsy Stone]

88. Lawrence O'Donnell and Pat Buchanan are gettin' into a smackdown

on McLaughlin. About Vietnam and Nixon's lies -- and how it relates to Iraq. Wow.

[bleever]

92. What network is that on?

[Patsy Stone]

103. My PBS station

Check the listings in your local area for airtimes. :)

Sorta DU link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5616962&mesg_id=5616962

[bleever]

108. Glad I watched Carol Burnett instead.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

111. Much better than watching my Congresscritter

no doubt. :) She was on earlier today too, Ileana. It was her "Victory in Iraq Resolution" they voted on today. Bleeech.

[bleever]

114. Because I like you and respect you as much as I do,

it's really funny to me that you have Ileana as your rep, and I have Barbara Lee as mine.

But, maybe I shouldn't say anything.

[Patsy Stone]

115. Sure, sure... Go ahead...

[WolverineDG]

101. hi pats!!

:hi: missed the show tonight, but will catch it on the repeat. happy weekend!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

104. To you, too.

:hi:
