[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, kids.



Al Franken is ahead in the recount by 570 votes: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7897897

And too many people think Bev Harris would make a great "Secretary of Democracy & Election Integrity". http://backbonecampaign.com/cabinet/

They would also like to see Will Pitt as Chairman of the FCC. :)

[bleever]

1. Get OUT!

I'm coming to Florida!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Come on down

The weather is perfect!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

14. Wish I could be there

It got really cold really fast this year. And to think it was 70 degrees on election day and the day after!

[Berry Cool]

43. If you really want great gas prices, come to Ohio.

You can get it for $1.75. Of course, it's a little colder here. But really, not all that much.

[rusty charly]

3. I paid $1.95 last week

Catch up to NJ!

[WolverineDG]

4. Congrats!!

I paid $1.86 two weeks ago & when I fill up this weekend, it will be about $1.75. :evilgrin:

BTW, Coleman is ahead now by 196 votes, but less than 10% of the votes have been counted.

GO AL!!

[Patsy Stone]

The weather could not be better, and work this week has, so far, been calm.

[ralps]

6. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

[Patsy Stone]

8. Hi, ralps!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

10. Jonathan Alter

is wearing Keith's upholstery jacket this evening.

[bleever]

13. That explains

why he was couching his analysis like he was.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Very punny.

:)

[bleever]

17. I thought it was

simply divan.

[Patsy Stone]

23. I love Google.

The Davis Divan: http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/8432,2583,,0/Davis-Divan.aspx

[bleever]

29. Awesome!

I want me one of them!

[Berry Cool]

44. Somehow it looks like a toy car!

Like a bumper car!

[SharonRB]

12. Hi, everyone!

It's going to take a while before I pay less than $2.00, since my car takes premium. But I paid $2.25 on Saturday, which is $.40 less than I paid two weeks ago.

[Patsy Stone]

18. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

It's been around $2.19 for a long time and then Boom!

I wish you could be here too. :(

[bleever]

16. If Al Qaeda wants to be more popular, they should make a mix tape.

People love those.

[WolverineDG]

19. Would I turn to Gene Simmons for money tips?

Um, yeah, since he's a marketing genius.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

20. Yep

and his son is adorable. :blush:

[WolverineDG]

21. Yo David Gene didn't lose!

He quit! (very stupid move, imho, & he was the only reason I watched Celebrity Apprentice)

Personally, I think Gene's an asshole, but the guy does know how to make money.

dg

[Berry Cool]

45. Worst Countdown caption pun ever for Gene Simmons:

"ADVICE FREELY." :rofl:

Bit of a stretch, guys.

[Patsy Stone]

22. I KNEW that write-in story would make it into Countdown tonight.

Thanks again, Florida.

http://www.news4jax.com/politics/18006929/detail.html

Even Stephen Colbert got a vote. :)

[bleever]

24. Randi was saying that someone wrote in

"Obama".

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

26. Two people!

:rofl:

"His name is already on the ballot!"

[Patsy Stone]

27. Yes. We are a special kind of stupid down here.

My breast swells with pride.

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

34. Kudos for the Alfred E. Newman vote

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

47. What does it tell us about Florida

that more people in Duval County wanted Donald Duck for president than wanted Billo the Clown?

Maybe they're not so dumb.

[Berry Cool]

46. She said Hillary was on the ballot too!

yet people wrote her in!

[Patsy Stone]

30. Tommy Chong

LOL!

[bleever]

31. "Change isn't here, man."

"No, man: you're the change!"

"Change isn't here."

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

32. :)

I need to know who would bother to write in Tommy Chong, but not want to vote for Obama.

Damn that secret ballot thing. :(

[Berry Cool]

49. How come the name "Chad Toy" sounds so dirty?

It just does.

[SharonRB]

25. Randi was talking about it today

Now she'll call Shuster out for stealing it from her.

[rusty charly]

28. On WWRL in NY

in that 3pm slot, I'm liking Ron Kuby (yes, that one) oddly enough. Most of the NY AAR- or actually WWRL since it's sort of a mishmosh- is weird now but I like Ed Schultz and Ron Kuby.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glNjsOHiBYs

[SharonRB]

37. Never heard of Ron Kuby

We get Ed at 3:00, but I stream Randi. Ed gets on my nerves a lot and I'd rather hear something in real time than delayed by three hours.

[rusty charly]

41. Mr. Kuby:

"While in college, Kuby interned with William Kunstler, a lawyer known for his defense of the Chicago Seven. Kuby earned his Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School in 1983.

From 1983 until Kunstler's death in 1995, the two worked together on civil rights and criminal cases. They represented Gregory Lee Johnson, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (head of the Egyptian-based militant group Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya); Colin Ferguson (the man responsible for the LIRR shootings, who would later choose to represent himself at trial); Qubilah Shabazz (daughter of Malcolm X, accused of plotting to murder Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam); Glenn Harris (a New York public school teacher who absconded with a fifteen year-old girl for two months), Darrell Cabey (one of the persons who assaulted Bernard Goetz ); Yu Kikumura, and associates of the Gambino Crime Family. During the Gulf War, they represented American soldiers claiming "conscientious objector" status. They also represented El Sayyid Nosair, assassin of the late extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, whom Kuby's father had admired."

[Patsy Stone]

39. The Beatles

Aw...

Ed was replaced by Thom Hartmann, Randi's live here at 3 p.m., and then the hideous Lionel comes on, nine hours delayed, irrelevant before he begins. I've written to ask for Rachel, but no dice.

I've never heard of Ron Kuby. I'll go Google.

[Berry Cool]

48. Good one!

:rofl: God bless Randi, but she thinks she's way more original than she really is. She's like the Soviets during the Cold War: always saying she came up with everything first.

[Patsy Stone]

33. I want Harry Reid to go away.

I feel no confidence whatsoever when I look at him.

[WolverineDG]

35. Cheney & Gonzalez indicted in Texas?

Who knew?? There have only been about five billion posts on it on DU today.

So, to all those who bitch about Texas, SUCK IT---WE INDICTED THEM FIRST!!

:rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

36. I hope The Hague

is soon to follow.

[SharonRB]

38. I'll second that one

[WolverineDG]

40. FYI--Law & Order Polygamy Edition tonight at 9

"ripped from the headlines" except they forgot the part that the "16 year old married to a 50 year old" is also fiction. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

42. Hi, Berry After the Show (and Shopping) drops by again.

:hi: Harris? Please. Try Jennifer Brunner!

Isn't David Shuster wearing a Keith tie in that photo?

[Berry Cool]

50. Attention all personnel: it's little wonder Joe the Plumber admires Sarah Palin so

because he mangles the language just as badly as she does.

McCain was "trying to allude to the fact" that Sarah sank him? Um, no, Joe, you don't believe it's a fact, so you don't CALL it a fact. (Of course, it IS a fact, so why shouldn't Grampy allude to it?)

Then you have Michelle Bachmann, who can't tell the difference between a documented FACT that is on videotape and an "urban legend." Ah, if only Michelle herself were an "urban legend."
