Get'cher Keith and Rachel pumpkin carving templates: http://www.pinkraygun.com/2009/10/07/free-pumpkin-carving-templates-msnbcs-rachel-maddow-and-keith-olbermann/

[bleever]

1. "Won't somebody think of the puppies?!?!"

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

2. Sick or otherwise!

:hi:

[bleever]

7. Have they no decency?

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hi bleev!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Patsy!

I'm still working, but thanks to the magic of the internet tubez, I can also watch Keith!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Technology:

Sometimes it doesn't suck.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Indeed it doesn't! (Sometimes)

I love being able to watch when I'm still at work. I went from 20 cases to 30 in the space of 2 weeks, so I'm really busy now (but not too busy for KO and the clubhouse kiddies!)

[Patsy Stone]

11. Aw...

:hug: Yay! Sorry you're so busy, though. That's a drag. But, if it helps, I feel your pain.

[SeattleGirl]

14. It's mostly just trying to wrap my head around the new cases.

Most of them live out of state; one of them lives in Germany! I don't so much mind being busy (though I'm pretty worn out by the time Friday night rolls around). The more I bill, the more I make, and with the holidays coming up, that's good! I want to take MrSG to see the Nutcracker this year as we have not been in about 5-6 years.

[Patsy Stone]

23. I haven't been since college.

I hear ya. On the upside, you don't have to meet all those people. :)

Unfortunately, the more I work the same I make. Christmas is almost finished though, so it will calm down soon.

[SeattleGirl]

24. I work on the billable hours, like attorney's do.

(Though I probably don't make anywhere near what they make!)

It's good, in that if I work a lot, I make a lot. But if I have a week where it's just not happenin', THAT shows in my paycheck too!

I actually wish I could meet the people who don't live around here. They're former Seahawks and Mariners players, and so far, with the exception of one person, they are all nice as can be.

[Berry Cool]

10. The template is great!!!

Goes perfectly with the Keith Halloween mask!!!!

:hi: Hi, my fellow sick puppies!!!! I'm still burning over the stupid article on Sunday that once again equated Keith with all the wingnut cable loudmouths...and Big Ed, too!! Saying they have no concern for fact checking!!!! :grr:

Why is Keith in DC? Something special going on with MSNBC? I mean, come on, baseball playoffs are going on here...

[SeattleGirl]

17. Hi Berry!

That crap pisses me off too. It's like they can't call Limpballs or O'Lielly or Crybaby Beck out unless they "legitimize" it by tossing KO and Ed (and sometimes Rachel) into the mix.

:grr:

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

19. Oh yeah!!! They mentioned Rachel too!!!!

It gets me soooooo furious!!!! It's such completely false equivalency--and you KNOW they only do it to "achieve balance"! :nuke:

[Patsy Stone]

31. Based on the shout from the other room

the Angels just won. :hi: They have to pretend it's everyone's fault: state and local... state and local... state and local...

[ralps]

5. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone! Thanks for the link!

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

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hi ralps! Is that a different collection of kitty pics, or the one you had

a couple of weeks ago. Seemed different to me; I was laughing my hind end off!

:hi:

[ralps]

15. Hi SeattleGirl!!! It's the same one I posted a week ago or so.

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

[SeattleGirl]

21. It must be especially funny to me today then, 'cause I was

laughing out loud!

[Patsy Stone]

16. Those are hilarious!

:rofl: Hi, ralps.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Is Lawrence going to depress me this evening?

I hope not.

[Berry Cool]

18. Here's my sick puppy:

[bleever]

13. Another good pumpkin:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Is that Christopher Walken?

:shrug:

[bleever]

25. Okay, try this one:

[SeattleGirl]

22. LOL, the righty mud fight between the two guys is funny!

:rofl:

[Botany]

26. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

Just turned it on ....

want to see how the repugs are killing themselves?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x490177

apologies to any EDV who has to throw up after reading this.

[SeattleGirl]

27. Hi Bot.

Jeez, people are just letting their stereotypes hang out for all to see now, aren't they?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

28. Oy.

This is better: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6812817

[bleever]

29. Did Steph see her page with Michael Steele on it?

I saw that she read your "hoax" post. That was pretty damn funny.

[Botany]

33. I sent it to her but she is so much of a "high maintenance Diva" she never .....

.... got back w/ me. If it wasn't for the white hot sex & that she reads my material on air and gives
me credit 1/4 of the time I would dump her.


:hi: Steph

[PSzymeczek]

72. Welcome to another episode

of "Republicans Eating Their Own".

[Botany]

30. Screw the veil

..... what about the tail?

:blush:

[Berry Cool]

32. Nice to see you have your priorities in order, Bot.

:rofl: I'm so glad Keith is defending himself against these false media equivalencies and against GHW Bush calling him names...as if Lee Atwater wasn't the king of the sick puppies. :puke:

[Berry Cool]

40. Keith's had a respiratory thing?

Didn't know that.

[SharonRB]

34. Hi, Puppies!

How is everyone tonight?

[SeattleGirl]

37. Hi Sharon!

Just as sick puppy-ish as KO and Rachel!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

45. Hi, SG

:hi:

My crazy season at work is over in two weeks and I should be around more then. I'm so stressed.

[SeattleGirl]

51. I'm still at work. My case load just exploded over the past 2 weeks.

I had 20 cases; I now have 30! But at leased I can watch KO on the computer.

Glad things are going to calm down a bit for you!

[SharonRB]

55. Me, too

I've been bringing work home a lot and worked all day Saturday, but at least I didn't have to go into the office physically.

[SeattleGirl]

57. I can work from home too (used to work from home 100% of the time)

but I decided to stay until 6:00 my time and just watch KO here. Otherwise, I'd have to leave before 4:30, or miss KO altogether until the reruns. And it's just not as much fun watching it by myself!

[Patsy Stone]

38. Muy bueno!

Nice to see ya! How was Nancy? :hi:

[SharonRB]

52. She did good.

Talking about Afghanistan. She doesn't think we should send all those troops in. We saw "Rethink Afghanistan" last night and I totally agree. We need to get out of there.

[Patsy Stone]

56. I agree.

I don't see the point of it.

[SharonRB]

58. I don't either

It makes us less safe, not more. The Taliban have no desire to attack anyone outside their country.

[Patsy Stone]

35. "the cables"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

41. They just can't get it right can tney? The cables. The internet tubez.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

47. The Google.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

54. Ah geez, I knew there was another one!

:rofl:

[Botany]

36. The cables?

:rofl: :spray:

[ralps]

42. I guess someone owes somebody else a Coke or Pepsi!

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

[Botany]

46. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

[ralps]

49. Hi Botany!!

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

[SeattleGirl]

48. Maybe just get a case and that will take care of it!

[bleever]

39. The cables?!?

:eyes:

[Botany]

43. This from a man who was surprised by a scanner @ the supermarket

H.W. is out to lunch.

[Berry Cool]

44. The cables in the series of tubes that forms the many Internets.

:hi: Hi, Sha-Sha!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

50. And just think

His horrible son made us almost feel nostalgic for his presidency. :crazy:

[CBHagman]

73. You got it, Pats.

"At least he wasn't as bad as his son" is not the way anyone wants to be remembered.

[Patsy Stone]

74. Hi, CB!

Sorry I miised you. :hi:

[CBHagman]

75. Hello back.

Since I don't get cable anymore, I watch Keith at the gym and usually don't post until after I've gotten off the treadmill.

There's a metaphor in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it...

[Berry Cool]

53. Oh goody! I LIKE that promo!! I wish they'd really use it!!

[ralps]

59. Today's worst person in the world is Tom J Donehue of the Chamber of Commerce

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

[SeattleGirl]

60. I used to think the CofC was a good organization. Boy, have I had

my eyes opened over the past few years!

[Botany]

62. F. U. chamber of commerce

fighting against "global warming" ideas

From the radical Ohio State university.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byrd_Polar_Research_Center

Conclusion
There is general consensus from the scientific community that global warming is real and is currently occurring, except for a small but vocal minority.
The Conference Board, a corporate think tank, recently made the following observations:
The greenhouse effect is “real and intensifying”,
human activity is contributing to this, and
corporate boards should be evaluating the risks of continuing business as usual.

[SeattleGirl]

61. "The Fabulous Flying Heene's"

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

63. Anyone going to watch "Shmatta" on HBO after KO?

Sounds like it should be pretty good. I'm going to skip Rachel and watch it.

[SeattleGirl]

65. I haven't heard of that.

What's it about?

[SharonRB]

68. It's a documentary about the garment industry

from it's beginnings.

[Patsy Stone]

66. What is it?

Do tell? Is it about the rag trade?

[SharonRB]

69. You got it.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Just turned it on.

Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup: Have a great night!

[SharonRB]

71. You, too!

[Patsy Stone]

64. "It's a family act..."

"What's the act?"

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Uggh! KO, did you REALLY need to show that kid puking?

Blech!
