KOEB Meeting: 06/22/09 -- Maybe You Need a New Democratic Caucus? Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:, all!

[SharonRB]

1. Hi, Pats

:hi:

I'm multi-tasking and streaming the event in SF that Michelle is speaking at. Pelosi is speaking now and just thanked Neil Bush for his work and for continuing the Bush family tradition of public service. Yech! That kind of public service we can do without.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Oh, no...

Did she really? :puke:

:hi:

[SharonRB]

5. Yup!

I couldn't believe my ears. I wonder how hard it was for her to get the words out.

[Berry Cool]

17. I could NEVER get those words out.

[bleever]

81. Well, Neil Bush has serviced

the women who showed up mysteriously at his hotel rooms, so maybe that's what she meant.

[WolverineDG]

2. I'm over here watching "I'm a Celebrity"

definitely much more watchable now that the pratt-holes & janice are gone. I love how the Pratts (who?) thought they were bigger stars than Lou Diamond Phillips. :rofl:

btw, sanjaya is kicking ass & taking names. :wow:

[Patsy Stone]

8. I keep up with that on The Soup

especially since Frangela's gone. Speidi sucks. They've been on a (bad) PR tour, milking the whole thing for as much airtime as possible. Even Al Roker got stuck in the middle of it. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31384624/ns/today_people/

[WolverineDG]

12. Neither one of them has any redeeming value

Her sister otoh, was a real trooper on the show & I was sad to see her go.

[Patsy Stone]

3. Lindsey Graham

STFU. You're wrong, and you're loud.

[SharonRB]

6. And you're being kind

I can think of a lot worse things to call him.

[ralps]

7. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Here'sb my new Kitty gif

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

[Patsy Stone]

30. Groovy!

:hi:, ralps!

[Berry Cool]

43. OMG, ralps!

I may have seizures from that! :rofl:

[ralps]

69. Hi Berry Cool! It is sort of psychedelic, isn't it!

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

[SharonRB]

9. Ahnold just came out -- I assume he'll be introducing FLOTUS

[GigiMommy]

10. Hello Everybody!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Loved the "let the children starve" mentality of the Wingnuts.

[SharonRB]

13. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

14. Hi Sharon!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

29. They're just precious

aren't they? :hi:, GGM!

[Patsy Stone]

11. Peggy Noonan

"She's not only a writer, she's a thinker." Um, Richard? Not so much. I've seen Morning Joe. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[SharonRB]

15. Live stream of FLOTUS event in SF -- she should be on the stage soon

http://www.news10.net/news/liveonline/

[Berry Cool]

16. Ooh, cool Keith pic.

:hi: You can tell Keith can't believe this doofus who is against free lunches for school kids in the summer. Neither can I. :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Another lucky Google accident

And Michelle Obama just thanked Neil Bush, too. :puke:

[SharonRB]

33. Yup -- I don't know how she did it

Could there be a different Neil Bush?

[Patsy Stone]

40. Nope

"Thousand points of light" Well, maybe he's actually doing something good for a change.

[Patsy Stone]

18. How much product is in Ahhhnold's hair?

Not one hair on his head is moving.

[GigiMommy]

23. ...

:rofl: :hi:

[GigiMommy]

21. Thanks for the stream!!!

Watching too.

[SharonRB]

22. I guess Ahnold isn't introducing Michelle

He just introduced someone else, who must be introducing her.

[bleever]

19. So glad he showed the picture of Rummy and Saddam.

:hi: everybody!

[SharonRB]

20. Looked like old home week n/t

[Patsy Stone]

24. Hello, Dr.!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hi Patsy., and happy Monday, everyone!

Have all of you thrown Obama under the bus yet? (Yeah, I've been in GD and GD-Pee too much.)

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

27. I took the weekend off

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Me too. Went to see my in-laws, who live in a coastal town.

Weather was nice for once!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

31. Nope, not me

I stay away from there.

[SeattleGirl]

48. I should.

I find myself hiding more and more threads that throw Obama overboard (or under the bus).

"Whaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Obama's been in office 6 months, and I don't have my pony yet!"

Oy.

[GigiMommy]

38. Hi SG!!!

Naw, too busy running the world of Cassie and dealing with life (Hubby's car was broken into over the weekend). :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

51. Hi Gigi!

And hi to Miss Cassie! :hi:

[SharonRB]

26. Michelle looks great

I like this dress.

[Patsy Stone]

28. Indeed.

:loveya:, MO!

[GigiMommy]

34. Neil Bush!?!

[SharonRB]

35. Yeah, Pelosi thanked him, too

[GigiMommy]

39. Bleeck!

:puke:

[bleever]

36. Hey, I have the same Yamaha keyboard that otter is playing!

Small world.

[Patsy Stone]

44. Maybe it's yours.

Have you noticed an otter hangin' around recently?

[bleever]

75. You know, I've always wanted an otter.

But he'd probably eat my frogs.

:(

[Patsy Stone]

77. I know how you feel

My dream pairing is even more of a "Trials of Life" episode: I want an otter and an otterhound. No good.

[Patsy Stone]

37. "I can't believe Keith Richards outlived me!"

:rofl: Good for you, sir. RIP.

[Berry Cool]

41. I can't believe it either.

OMG, it's an Oddball shout-out contest as to who Keith loves most tonight...me or the Rev!!!!

For the Rev...a headline about "cutting the cheese" in Wisconsin that renders him speechless.

For me...an OTTER that plays synth, AND a miracle shot from a kid at Brecksville-Broadview Heights!!!!

:loveya: I got two, she got one, so I declare myself the winner. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

49. Hey, I can play keyboards, too.

So the otter is a double shout-out to you and me. :P

[RevCheesehead]

42. An otter AND a cheese story??

Keith loves me! :loveya:

:hi: Hi everyone!

[Berry Cool]

46. Hi Rev!

:hi: Yeah, but he loves me at least as much!!

[RevCheesehead]

52. Well, of course.

But you and I both know that his heart belongs to Velma. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

50. REV!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

54. Hi Gigi!

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

53. Rev!!

Hi, gf! How are you? :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

60. Pretty damned good, thank you!

On Saturday, I drove down to look at apartments, and today I sent in an application for a 2 bedroom LOFT!!! :bounce::bounce:
I just have to pass a background check, etc ... So y'all say nice things about me, m'kay?

[SeattleGirl]

64. Wow, that sounds wonderful!

I would love to live in something like that!

And I promise, I will sing your praises to the skies!

[RevCheesehead]

78. The kitchen is huge, too.

It's really starting to grow on me. The only drawback is all the stairs. My main floor is the second floor, and the loft is more stairs. It should help me lose weight. I feel for the movers who have to move my piano up there!

[bleever]

85. You could get one of those Yamaha keyboards like the otter was playing.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

89. Or I could just get Keith to come over!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

94. I wouldn't expect much moving help from Keith.

I expect he'd take one look at all your boxes and beg off with a bad back. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

93. A huge kitchen sounds great!

I have only one flight of stairs now, which can be a pain but the exercise does me good. Sure beats waiting for an elevator.

As for moving a piano... :scared:

[Berry Cool]

68. Yea!!!!!

Hope you get it!! :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

92. Thanks, Berry.

You'll have to help me do a house-warming/KOEB party!

[Berry Cool]

95. I would LOVE to be able to do that!

Are we thinkin' August? Could happen, eh??

The Megabus awaits!

[SharonRB]

80. That sounds great, Rev

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

96. Thanks, Sharon!

As soon as I'm set up, you al are invited!!

[Patsy Stone]

56. Hello, dahling!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

62. Patsy!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Just saw the excellent news

about the apartment! :bounce: I have a good feeling about this. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

71. It really is quite nice.

Lots of storage space, 2 underground parking stalls, and I'm renting a garage to store my stuff in. The cats will adore the loft, as it has a nice catwalk on it, and has two skylights in it. Also, the windows are cat-friendly: deep enough to sit in, and facing South for maximum sun exposure. The loft will double as my office/guest room... it's that big! :)

[Berry Cool]

73. That sounds wonderful.

A catwalk should have cats walking on it.

[RevCheesehead]

87. CC wil love it.

He's been practicing in the garage. :eyes:
It will scare the crap out of me to see them up there.... so I won't look.

[Patsy Stone]

76. It sounds perfect!

[GigiMommy]

79. Crossing fingers, toes and heart for you.

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

98. Thanks, Gigi!

:loveya:

[SharonRB]

47. Howard!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

55. I think Gov. Sanford is in rehab.

:thumbsup:

[Berry Cool]

57. I also claim the reference to LeBron in my name.

:loveya: Man, does Keith love me!

[Berry Cool]

61. Man, I hate these Sea World ads.

They're so obviously a case of "Script written by adult, read by children--and we're supposed to believe the children came up with these thoughts. Yeah, right."

Besides, they closed our Ohio Sea World. Never forgive 'em for that. :grr:

[GigiMommy]

72. It's GONE!?!

We went there when we were kids!!!:( :cry:

[Berry Cool]

97. Yeah, been gone for a few years now.

Even worse, Geauga Lake is gone too. Cedar Fair (the Cedar Point company) bought it and closed it down. :cry:

Now there's nothing there but a big water park.

[SeattleGirl]

58. What would he be rehabbing from? Booze? Drugs? Sex? All of

the above?

[Patsy Stone]

65. Not a clue

But why else do you "disappear"? Mistress, rehab, writing the Great American Novel?

[SeattleGirl]

67. Or......miurder!

Okay, I'll leave that one be.......

[SharonRB]

59. Wherever he is, there's definitely more to this than meets the eye

I thought maybe he was off looking for the stim money he turned down.

[Patsy Stone]

66. LOL!

It's verrry weird.

[Berry Cool]

70. "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"

...Seriously, this woman is, as Bot would say, nuttier than a squirrel turd. :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

74. I'm surprised she also didn't suggest that kids younger than

16 could work for their meals too. :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

82. Ah, if only Dickens were here...

:crazy:

[SharonRB]

83. LOL

Dickens was the first thing that popped into my head, too.

[Patsy Stone]

88. Yep

Lots of kids in rags with dirty faces.

She's a looney.

[GigiMommy]

86. May I have MORE sir?

[Patsy Stone]

84. Teddy Roosevelt was a self-hating nerd.

LOL! You know, John, you're right! That puts a lot into perspective.

:loveya:, John Hodgman. That speech of yours was a riot.

[Berry Cool]

90. Keith is a nerd, a geek AND a dork

and that, in a nutshell, is why we love him. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

91. He had me and MrSG absolutely cracking up.
