[bleever]

1. Hi Sharon.

I wrote Keef telling him that he was the one guy who could do justice to Don Knotts and Darren McGavin.

RIP, gentlemen, and Dennis Weaver too.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

5. So we begin again

waiting for the next three. :hi:

[SharonRB]

9. Yup -- this was a quick three

Anyone for Bush, Cheney and Rove being the next?

[Patsy Stone]

16. Aren't you giving celebrities a bad name

with that comparison?

[SharonRB]

18. I suppose

but I thought the only criteria is that they be famous, not beloved celebrities.

[SharonRB]

8. Hi, Bleev

:hi:

I didn't even hear about Dennis Weaver until late in the day today.

[WolverineDG]

113. That was sad

My dad had a "McCloud" coat. :cry: Even wore it with a hat he bought in Mexico. I wish I could remember the name of it. It was similar to what we call a cowboy hat but not shaped that much, and had a small tassle on the back. It was a style of hat worn in the part of Mexico we used to travel to.

[Olney Blue]

2. Good evening, Sharon!

Second-term setbacks- oh yes.

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

[Olney Blue]

23. Did you have a nice weekend, ralps?

[ralps]

35. It was pretty good, how was yours?

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

[Olney Blue]

39. I had to buy a new washing machine- mine broke.

Other than that, very good weekend- thanks!

[SharonRB]

15. Hi, ralps

:hi:

[seito]

4. Hi Sharon

How's it going? :hi:

[SharonRB]

11. Hey, Seito

I'm okay. How about you?

[seito]

26. I have the warm fuzzies

No idea why...:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

38. I have a good idea why

and I'm feeling it too. :bounce:

[Olney Blue]

6. WTF? Governors nail the Chimp for cutting NG funding-

and he thanks them for their support?!

:wtf:

[SharonRB]

17. He's such a fucktard

[Patsy Stone]

27. He always supports things

before he cuts the funding. It's a fact, and a bad habit.

Hi, Olney! :hi:

[Olney Blue]

34. Could it be a

[Patsy Stone]

115. Sweetie, darling!

It so could be!

[WolverineDG]

32. He's either drunk or on drugs

possibly both. As well as delusional. Hey, that whole "Ignore the problem & thank folks for their support" worked before. It's got to work again, right? Right? Bueller? Bueller??

:hi: olney!

[Patsy Stone]

7. Hi, Sharon.

I ran to look closely at the tie, but it seems to actually be stripes. :hi:

[seito]

21. Perhaps

we need a lobbying campaign to bring out the new tie(s).

On edit: Hi Pats :hi:

[WolverineDG]

36. Hi Seito

He's already worn the Boccarra (my story, stickin' to it).

:hi:

[seito]

12. Midterm meltdown

Ahhh, doesn't the heat feel nice.

[Olney Blue]

20. They have not yet begun to feel the heat!

[Patsy Stone]

22. Supernova

Bask in it! :hi:

[ralps]

14. Republicans helping B*sh's numbers go up??? & John Harwood calling

B*sh Barney Fife???? I think that's what he said. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[bleever]

24. Barney Fife was a far better man.

[Olney Blue]

82. I loved Barney.

[Botany]

25. Guard Troops?

:hi: All

One of my best friend is in the Ohio National Guard ..... my house mate in college was
a National Guardsman ...... I have spent @ least 500 hours around these servicemen and
women* and never did i hear ...... Guard Troops.

Somedays I think my head is going to explode ...... where the hell did we get this idiot from.



* When they were doing their weekend warrior thing ..... Guard Troops = fuckstick talking

[Patsy Stone]

28. The SCOTUS

and the NYSE. :puke:

:hi:

[SharonRB]

31. You forgot Diebold

[Patsy Stone]

33. I did.

You're right. :puke:

[Botany]

37. but he called them ....

Guard Troops ...... Why don't you call the students @ the U of M.

Study Students who go to the College/University?

[Olney Blue]

29. The War President needed War Troops.

[SharonRB]

30. I think it was just time...a friend sent me this quote today

It's perfect:


"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L. Mencken, circa 1920

[WolverineDG]

I liked how he said "Our Guard"

instead of "Your Guard" since the Guard belongs to the states. :grr:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

54. ALL YOUR GUARD ARE BELONG TO US!

:)

[WolverineDG]

81. THIS IS SERIES!!!!!!!!!1111111

Why do you hate America? :cry:

:evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

83. For it's Freedom...

Didn't you get the memo, Moran?
:)

[WolverineDG]

89. THIS IS HUGH!!!!!!!!1111111

Im not kidding.

;)

[WolverineDG]

40. Hola Sharon!

:hi:

Wow, what a list of setbacks for the admin!

And good for NOLA to hold Mardi Gras anyway! Give the folks there something else to think about for a while.

dg

[SharonRB]

46. Hey, DG

Como esta usted?

[WolverineDG]

50. Muy bien, gracias

Y usted?

(actually, we're friends, so you can say Como estas?)

dg

[SharonRB]

55. Certainly

I haven't used my Spanish in years -- I don't remember much of it, and certainly not the rules.

Soy muy bueno.

[ralps]

41. NeoConservatism was Misused?????

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

[Patsy Stone]

43. Just like Communism

and National Socialism. It all seemed like such a good idea on paper.

Hi, ralps!

[Wetzelbill]

75. exactly

academic ideas by think-tank warriors. In the end they just don't work in the real world. For many many many reasons. Not the least of which in this case, is that the President is a freakin' idiot.

[Patsy Stone]

78. Start with

the Seven Deadly Sins. They're always a good lead-in to a downfall. :hi:

[Wetzelbill]

92. great point

that fits like a glove in this instance. Greed stands out. :)

[Wetzelbill]

65. yeah it was

but it's warped in the first place. Neo-Cons seek to promote certain ideals. Some of them are just overt warmongers who advocate economic imperialism and seek to enforce an armed peace on the world by sheer strength. The promotion of Democracy and free markets are good ideas. Doing it by a gun and for selfish reasons is just pure folly, if not downright evil. Bush and Cheney aren't real Neo-Cons. Bush is more of a tool and Cheney is a greedy lout.

[Botany]

42. F.U. Fukuyama

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

Your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Send his ass to Iraq ..... he and Wolfie, Pearle, Faithe, and so on wanted this war from 1995.

I could kick his ass myself. Punk

[Patsy Stone]

47. Along with my other two favorite

usual suspects: Viet Dinh and John Yoo -- the worst! (Or you can call them Torture Man and Mr. Unitary Executive.)

[Wetzelbill]

69. yup

he got himself in a mess associating himself with these clowns. History will not be too kind do the architects of this policy. Even one who does have valid credentials like Fukuyama. You can't back away from what this ideology has caused. It's a testamant to KO that he covered this story. :)

[Olney Blue]

44. In case you missed it- the Rev has shingles.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4804419


:(

[SharonRB]

48. I haven't been on line much

Sorry to hear she's not feeling well. Shingles are a real bummer, but with medication she should be her snarky self soon.

[ralps]

51. Thanks for letting me know Olney

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

[Patsy Stone]

52. The General Lee?

Thanks, Olney. I didn't know.

[seito]

53. Oh no

If you are reading this Rev, here's a gentle :hug:

Hope you feel better soon

[Clark2008]

45. Well, I wish it had died before it killed so many others.

Can agendas get the death penalty?

:hi: all!!

[Patsy Stone]

49. If only!

And, would that lead to the agenda-setters as well?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

56. Check this out -- Conyers got a humanitarian award today

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2136023

[Patsy Stone]

57. Did I miss Farfrompoopen Road?

I heard him say Divorce Court. I wasn't in earshot for the whole story. I hope he said it. :)

[Greylyn58]

58. Evening All

Should be another great show from Keith. :loveya: KO :yourock:

:hi: SharonRB and my fellow KOEBers! :grouphug:

Wow..can't believe how we've lost 3 wonderful actors this week. Don Knotts, Darren McGavin and now Dennis Weaver.

All shall be sorely missed!! :cry:

[Patsy Stone]

59. A bad week for TV indeed.

Hey, Grey and Sheridan! Keith has indeed been on fire tonight. With such rich material, how could he not be?

[SharonRB]

60. Hi, Grey

and Sheridan.

:hi: and Woof.

[Olney Blue]

62. Evenin' Greylyn!

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

61. Fukuyama is an interesting character in this mix

He's a definite academic, who believes in certain tenets. Wilsonian and idealistic in many ways. He doesn't totally fit in with the blood and guts Neo-con types. Nor does he fit in with the Unbelievers like Cheney who is mainly a Neo-Con for neo-liberal reasons. Fukuyama is someone who is a true believer in the promotion of democracy and free markets in the world. Not free markets in the sense that corporate multinationals should be allowed to run wild on the world. What he believes is what is called "the end of history." In winning the Cold War, the U.S. has won the debate that Democracy and Capitalism are indisputably the best ideologies. That the world will eventually convert to them. So he seeks to promote freedom and liberty etc. He's not necessarily a war monger, not the way Cheney, Rumsfeld or Bush, who isn't really a Neo-Con but mainly an empty suit who follows the vision of the Unbelievers. Fukuyama is not innocent in this by any means. He's just not the same type of rat that say Dick Cheney is. I should mention I have been published on the Project For The New American Century and have studied Neo-Cons pretty in depth for several years now.

[Clark2008]

63. Down with Republican adoption!!!

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

That's fucking hilarious!!! :7

[Patsy Stone]

66. Big, big smile!

"Hagan said that "credible research" shows that adopted children raised in Republican households are more at risk for developing "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities."

LOL!

[SharonRB]

67. Where can I register my vote for the bill?

[seito]

68. ROFL

Too cool :rofl:

[ralps]

64. LOL The Say no to letting Republicans adopt bill!!!

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

[seito]

70. O'liely Fatwa

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

90. Another great BGH segment

Keep 'em coming, Keith!

[ralps]

71. CNN Covering Keith Covering Bill!!!!

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

[WolverineDG]

85. Yay!

More free publicity for the show! Thanks Bill!

dg

[Patsy Stone]

94. WPITW!!! AGAIN!! The BIG GIANT HEAD!!!

:loveya: Joy.

[SharonRB]

95. Woo hoo hoo

:woohoo:

[Wetzelbill]

72. Ok, I wasn't the one from MT who signed that petition

hahahaha

I wish I was though!

[Patsy Stone]

73. Shepherd Smith!!!

Who knew? :rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

84. that was great!

:)

[Clark2008]

86. I think Katrina turned him away from the neocon agenda.

I'm surprised he still has a job at No Facts.

[Clark2008]

74. Remember the slogan: Fox not facts!!

:rofl:

[Olney Blue]

77. THAT was fantastic!

[WolverineDG]

79. THAT was a good one.

:rofl:

Anyone got any clues as to what "PW" stands for? :think:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

102. I think

it's dirty, somehow. :)

[WolverineDG]

111. ya think?

:evilgrin:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

91. Snark-fection!

:loveya: :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

76. Keep the heat on O'Lielly!!!!!!!

[Greylyn58]

80. This stupid bill pisses me off

My sister-n-law is gay and she and her partner raised her partner's daughter into a wonderful young woman who married and now has a child of her own.

Sunni is a well-rounded, sweet person who was raised by 2 good, decent women. This bill needs to be struck down. Damn these whack-job repugs need to go away!!!

[Patsy Stone]

87. Control freaks

That's all they are. :mad:

[Olney Blue]

93. I agree. Damn them.

[Wetzelbill]

88. Keith is a viable authority on baseball

he's done some of his best work in baseball. I would have to agree with him on this.

[Olney Blue]

98. Are you a baseball fan, Wetzelbill?

[Wetzelbill]

100. yeah I'm a fan of all sports

competing in a great many too. That's how I know who Keith is, I used to be a Sportscenter devotee. I actually went to college in Seattle mainly because I'm a huge fan of the Mariners and Sonics. :)

[Greylyn58]

114. That's where I first met Keith and Dan Patrick

on Sportscenter. I loved watching the two of them, especially during baseball season. I've been a HUGE baseball fan since I was little...thanks to my dad who was and still is a Cincinnati Reds fan. I was too during the 70's --the years of the "Big Red Machine".

He and Dan were and still are "En Fuego!"

[Gogi]

117. When MacGwire and Sosa where duking it out...

this late-blooming baseball fan discovered that Roger Maris had never been elected to the HOF. Even knowing this I thought that Minnie Minoso could not possibly be passed over. Shows what I know!:crazy: And then they go one further and admit a career criminal! Now there is no logical reason to exclude Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose!

[seito]

96. I have been reticent

Keef, you most certainly earned a few of these :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

99. Snark-tastic! Snark-riffic!

Snark-o-meter on "SNARK OVERLOAD". :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[ralps]

97. Today's worst person in the world is.... LOL Bill O'Reilly!!!!

"I don't do personal attacks here" Yes Bill Get some Credibility!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Wetzelbill]

101. Bill is the gift that keeps on giving

:)

[Patsy Stone]

103. It's almost toooo easy.

Like he doesn't even have to try. I'd like to see KO stretch a little sometimes and go for the three-point shot. :)

[Wetzelbill]

105. it be so easy for Bill if

he would just shut up for once. Instead he messes with guys like KO and Al Franken. Yeah, that's smart, mess with the guys who make fun of people and crack jokes for a living. :) Those boys are quick, it's best to not get in a war of words with people like that.

[WolverineDG]

112. He's such a coward

but then most bullies usually are deep down. He won't even say Keith's name or the name of the show. :crazy:

dg

[seito]

106. My suggestion to Bill

Launch a new petition against Comedy Central. I think there might be a few folks over there worthy of his efforts.

Go get em Billy

[Patsy Stone]

104. I enjoyed Keith's remarks on that

the other night, "Without personal attacks, you'd be a mime." :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

107. Aw, Keith...

I loved her too. :loveya:

[seito]

108. In case you are interested

Jon Stewart is on CNN with Larry King now.

[ralps]

109. Thanks for letting me know seito

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

[Wetzelbill]

110. hey thanks

I'm checking it out.

[Berry Cool]

116. Great show tonight

That's all I have to say, I got laundry to do tonight...

[Janice325]

118. I taped the 8pm EST show.

I just finished watching it.
Another great show, I must say! :) Unfortunately, When KO was over, I didn't hit the "stop" button before I saw Rita for about 2 seconds.:puke:
I guess she's still employed.
Blechhhh.
