I was on a Jews for Obama call again, but I'm here now.

[SeattleGirl]

52. Hey Sha-Sha!

Thanks!

I think it's a good fit, and there is a nice variety of cases to work on, so it will be a challenge, but a good one.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

58. I'm so happy for you

and since it's for your old boss, things should work out okay.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Actually,

it was my old boss who gave me the heads up on the opening, but not who I'll be working for.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

63. Oh, I thought you were actually going to be working for him/her

My bad.

[SeattleGirl]

64. Sawright.

[ralps]

[Berry Cool]

69. CONGRATULATIONS SG!!!!

and :hi: hi everyone! Happy Merkle Day!!

I had some shopping to do, so knowing Keith wouldn't be around, planned it for tonight. I suspected Shuster would fill in. Good choice.

[SeattleGirl]

70. Thanks Berry!!

[ralps]

41. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, CC & lil' Keith! LOL

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

[bleever]

4. Shuster seems to be sitting a little too close to the screen.

Or is it me?

[RevCheesehead]

13. And - -

do I detect a bald spot?
(on Shuster, that is!)

[Patsy Stone]

18. Yes ma'am.

Sometimes I think the camera people and director on Morning Joe show him from these weird angles above and behind him just to showcase it, too.

[RevCheesehead]

23. That's called "passive-aggressive," right?

:hi: Hi, sweetie! How are ya? :hug:

[Patsy Stone]

14. He's also a little hot

and I mean that in a lighting way.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Damn! What's with this new "rating" thing on the thread?

It makes me have to scroll to post. :grr:

Aside from that, :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Rev!!!!

How are ya? :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Hi, SG!

I had a rough morning. It got infinitely better once I took a nap. :)

:hi: :hug::loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Naps can be great things!

Glad you're doing better.

[RevCheesehead]

24. Thanks, hon.

How are YOU doing? Congrats on the job!!!! :toast::toast:

[SeattleGirl]

26. Thanks, Rev!

Breathing much easier, I'll tell you!

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

28. How's your elbow?

And, have you gone skating since then? :hide:

[SeattleGirl]

LOL!

My elbow is healing, but I haven't been on the skates again. I think I'll buy some bubble wrap with my first check, just in preparation. :rofl:

[bleever]

12. It confuses and frightens me.

But maybe we can squeak this onto the Greatest Page.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

20. OK, that's a good enough reason.

But I'm a little confused and frightened myself. :scared:

[Patsy Stone]

22. Already

I have feelings of inadequacy.

[Patsy Stone]

11. DU is wiggy

The modifications are doing some strange things to the pages -- at least for me.

[RevCheesehead]

27. Oh, good.

I thought it was just me and my li'l inadequate computer. :)

[RepublicanElephant]

25. shuster seems harder on dems than keith.

i miss keith.

[RevCheesehead]

32. Believe me, it could be worse.

Like Alex Witt or Norah O'Donnell. :puke:

:hi: Hi, dubby!

[SeattleGirl]

34. Or David Gregory!

:puke:

[Patsy Stone]

40. Zee pits.

Bleccch.

[SeattleGirl]

43. He makes no effort to hide what a tool he is for the right.

[RevCheesehead]

42. He used to be OK....

but then he did that disastrous dance from hell.... :banghead:
I've never been able to forgive him for that.

[Berry Cool]

73. Yeah, sadly Stretch went over to the Dark Side.

He's never been the same since his dance with the Devil, i.e. MC Rove.

[Patsy Stone]

38. No!!

Don't say Alex's name another two times -- or she'll appear!

[RevCheesehead]

45. Betelgeuse?

:evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

31. Where's Keith? Boostin' seats from Yankee Stadium?

If so, I hope he doesn't get caught!

:hi:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

35. Mets/Cubs

Merkle game at Shea.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

37. I think he's at the Mets/Cubs game.

Hi Wolvie!

[WolverineDG]

39. I selected "Must Read"

because I can. hee hee

dg

[SeattleGirl]

44. Jeebus! Does Palin even KNOW how to properly hold a baby?

She totes little Trig around like he's a sack of flour! :grr:

[Botany]

46. So I have shaken hands w/

a President .... Clinton & Carter

a pro football player

and a brain surgeon

So by the Palin m.o. I now can be a Brain Surgeon who plays in the NFl and President.

[Patsy Stone]

50. If those don't work out,

at least you're prepared to be Mr. Stephanie Miller.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

54. Please don't feed the Bay Airs.

I'm still :rofl: over the brain surgeon thing!

[Botany]

57. No

She just wants me as a "love toy." To be used as again and again
to help her achieve her bliss .... oh the pain of it all.

BTW :hi: Steph

[RevCheesehead]

59. And you object to this....

why, exactly?

[Botany]

72. It makes me feel cheap

I am sick and tired of being looked @ as some piece of meat .....
I have feelings too. :cry:

No talking and cuddling afterwords!

[RevCheesehead]

79. Now hold on a minute, buddy...

Mama said, "He is the very definition of cuddly."
Don't make me look it up.

[SharonRB]

53. Only 6 votes for this thread?

What's the matter with all of you? If we don't vote for ourselves, who will?

[SharonRB]

60. It's Barack!

[Patsy Stone]

65. That's President Barack

to you. :)

[SharonRB]

67. I sure hope so -- check out the link

I'm terrified of all these people getting purged from the rolls because of the new database they're using for voter registrations.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4071366&mesg_id=4071366

[Patsy Stone]

68. Agreed.

:scared:

So, what do you do as a Jew for Obama?

[SharonRB]

71. I haven't done much but put my name on a list of supporters

in the Jewish News and get on these phone calls. The group is trying to convince those on the fence to vote for Obama -- there are some Jews (as I'm sure you know down in Flala) that are having trouble getting on board the train.

[Patsy Stone]

75. So I hear

but the polls are looking better. My friend Eric's mother, who wasn't voting for Obama, now will be since he told her Michelle's cousin is a rabbi.

[SharonRB]

81. I don't think even that will help with my father

I did find out about a new web site tonight, though. www.rabbisforobama.com.

[RevCheesehead]

62. That interview w/Barack is done in Green Bay!

If I knew Matt Lauer was there, I'd a gone and kicked him or somethin.

[SeattleGirl]

66. So Matt is trying to push the Hillary VP thing now?

Stop it, Matt. Just stop it! :grr:

[Berry Cool]

77. George Will isn't supporting Gramps.

And when you've lost George Will, you've lost conservative America.

Otherwise, I have no use for George Will, although I'm sure he and Keith could have a great time talking baseball together.

Rachel shows up early! :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

80. George Will

makes me nostalgic for the good old days. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

84. I miss Sam Donaldson.

"Now hold on, Mr. President..."
Sadly, a phrase we don't hear anymore.

[Patsy Stone]

85. Saw them both on This Week

and I did get a little misty. Cokie? Not so much.

[SeattleGirl]

86. I saw them too.

And I also miss Sam.

[WolverineDG]

87. Proof that Matt was dropped too many times on his head

Um, Matt, that ship sailed weeks ago..... :eyes:

dg

[SharonRB]

74. Does this mean even George Will is voting for Obama?

:rofl:

There can't be anyone left who isn't then.

[SharonRB]

76. Someone new must have done Rachel's makeup tonight

It looks different.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Bad hair

She has a lump on the top of her head.

[Botany]

78. Matt Laurer .... he didn't even finish O.U.

got an honory degree

Laurer v Obama battle of wits :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

93. Actually, I thought he DID go back and wrap up all his missing credits.

But it took him until 1994!

See, Keith, it coulda been worse!

[Botany]

96. No O.U. gave him credit for "his on air work"

:grr:

[Botany]

83. George Will is dung

I know a women who drove hin to a "paid speech" he treated people
who liked him like shit .....

Although if he wants to pile on McCain .... :bounce:

[SharonRB]

88. Check this out

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7159173

I don't think the bailout is going anywhere. The Dems won't vote for it if McCain won't and I don't see how he possibly can.

[Patsy Stone]

90. That will be great to watch.

:popcorn:

Gonna have some 'sghetti now.

[Patsy Stone]

89. The people demand answers!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7158581&mesg_id=7158581

[RevCheesehead]

94. LOL!

I swear, he only owns stripey suits.

[SharonRB]

91. Barack takes the lead in Flala!

:woohoo:

[bleever]

97. Get. Out.

:woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

99. I toldja the polls were good!

We will be blue again. Oh, yes, we will.

:bounce:

[GigiMommy]

92. Hi All!! Sorry I'm late...

:hi: Cassie was using the computer for homework. Watching Rachel right now.

[RepublicanElephant]

95. keith to do follow-show after the debate!!!!

i think chris matthews had it first, but now keith will.

[Patsy Stone]

98. Wheeeeee!

Great news! Thanks!
