6/30/10 KOEB ... they called it paradise

[Botany]

the eagles; they called it paradise

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi bot

God, this footage is just breaking my heart!

[Botany]

4. I almost can not watch

Whales and dolphins are as smart as us and can speak to each other

:cry:

Thank you U.S. Supreme Court Dec. 2000 you made all this possible

[SeattleGirl]

6. And the teabaggers and the Republicans want to keep drilling.

:grr:

[ralps]

2. Hi Botany, Hi Everyone!! Thanks for that poem Botany!

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

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi ralps

5. I'm thrilled that he's featuring independent footage--saw it on YouTube the other day.

I would, however, recommend that John Wathen stay out of small planes.

:headbang:

8. Hi rocktivity

I feel sick watching it.

[RevCheesehead]

9. And just like that first paradise,

it took humans to totally fuck it up. :(

:hi: Hi Cuddles. How ya doing? :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi Rev. You said it!

:-(

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

24. Hi SG!

I know, it's awful. :(

:hug::hi:

[Botany]

12. I just can't watch anymore

gonna go for a swim ...... the whales and dolphins know what is happening to them




BTW Thanx Sandy Day O'Connor for Bush v Gore

[RevCheesehead]

26. Let's destroy an ecosystem, just for "fun."

Money = fun, right? :banghead:

Happy swimming, my friend. I know your heart is with our "friends" in the Gulf. :hug:

[RavensChick]

16. Hi, Rev!

You got that right. In the first paradise it was the serpent, now it's the oil. Coincidence? I can't tell.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

28. I guess one could make the case that it's the Dinosaurs' fault...

for simply decaying for millenia, waiting to be harvested. Oy.

How are ya, RC? :hi:

[RavensChick]

30. I'm doing pretty good.

At least the weather's beautiful in DC so I won't complain too much.

:hi:

[RavensChick]

11. Sign of the times, I'm afraid.

Greedy repuke bastards!!!!

Hi, Bot! Hi, everyone!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

13. Hi RC

Unfortunately, it's true.

Think we could tie a bunch of Repukes together and use them as booms?

:hi:

[RavensChick]

14. Hi, SG!

It's not a bad idea. They can start with Boner, and Sessions, and all the other Hitler youth...

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

15. Their inflated egos alone could probably sop up a pretty fair

share of the oil.

[RavensChick]

17. True dat!!

Besides, seeing dolphins floating on the water like that saddens me all the more. It's been almost 3 months and they still haven't capped the leak?!?! That makes no sense whatsoever, and it's gonna take many years to clean up the mess. Sickening! :grr:

[WolverineDG]

18. I had to turn it off

Sorry Keith. :(

It's raining off & on right now, but we're expecting very heavy rain over night. :hi:

20. Hi Wolvie

I was in a fairly decent mood when I got home from the office, and now my heart is six feet under after watching that footage. :cry:

[RavensChick]

22. Hi, Wolvie!

Stay dry and stay safe!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

43. Wolfie!!! Hi there!

Hope you're OK. :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

19. Hello. I'm sick of these people (republicans).

I'm starting to see empty closed BP stations here. I heard though that BP could be a takeover target. Exxon Mobil or Shell might be interested. They're BOTH dirty in their own way.

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

[SeattleGirl]

21. Hi Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

27. Hi SG!!!

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

[RavensChick]

25. Hi, Gigi!

There's a BP station up the street from me and the only time I went there was to get lottery tickets. I stopped going there long before the oil spill 'cause they changed management and I don't like the workers too much. So I have a feeling that station will be gone before the year's out. Besides, there's a Shell station down the street and I've been going there so there's no difference 'cause they're all crooked!

Otherwise, I'm good. How are you and Cassie?

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

32. Hey Raven!!!

I'm grillin' (I know, I'm five days early) and Cassie's having a "Spa Day" at her best friend's house. We're surviving.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RavensChick]

38. Nothing wrong with starting the grilling early!

I wish I could get mine out but I'm in a condo so I'm not allowed, which sucks.

Spa day? That's great! I'm sure she's having a wonderful time!

[RevCheesehead]

23. Oh, Poop.

DU is embarassingly slow for me tonight! It takes several minutes to load a page! :grr:
I'll get to your responses when I can, m'kay? :banghead:

[Berry Cool]

31. I'm here after all. Connection seems OK.

:hi: Hi all. Yes, that Gulf footage was damn depressing. The worst part is feeling so helpless.

I am glad Keith is doing another Special Comment on the unemployment topic, though. He still cares about people like me. :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Lots of us care about people like you, Berry

:hug:

[Berry Cool]

36. Thanks, SG

And the feeling is mutual for you guys. :hug:

[RavensChick]

40. Hi, Berry!

I loved it when he said "screw you economics". True dat, Keith!!!!! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

There's nothing but love for you here! :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

41. Hi Berry!

Hope things went well for you today. :)
Did you get the phone call yet?

:hi: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

52. Hi Rev!

Yep, I got the call. Interview is tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck!

[RavensChick]

57. Oh, good!!!

I'll be in prayer for you on that, Berry! Please keep us posted!

[Berry Cool]

59. Thanks, RC!!!

[RavensChick]

61. You're welcome, hon!

:hug:

[GigiMommy]

48. Hey Berry!!!

:hi: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

55. Hey GGM!

:hi: :hug: And to Miss Cassie too!

[GigiMommy]

34. Hi Rev!!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

45. Hi Gigi!

Grilling, huh? Sounds yummy!
My "grilling" consists of whatever gets put under the broiler (no grills permitted here).

:hi: :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

29. Dr. King had a dream...

Mr.Beck has a scheme.:rofl:

[RavensChick]

35. What in the wide world of sports is wrong

with this dude????? Damn, every time I see his ugly pus I gotta wonder, what is rattling around in his empty space called a mind?

[SeattleGirl]

37. My guess is, a large steaming pile of dog doo.

[RavensChick]

46. Aha! That's what it is!

Thanks! I knew it was something like that.

[SeattleGirl]

39. "Screw you economics."

Ya got that right, Keith.

I HATE Republicans!

[Berry Cool]

42. He got it right in every way.

:applause: :yourock: :applause: :loveya:

Thank you, Keith. May I kiss your feet, Sir???

[RavensChick]

50. He is that good.

Damn, I love him! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[ralps]

44. Today's worst person in the world is Cheryl Cisome Of Faux for saying

we need to tax the poor!! WTF??? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wtf:

[SeattleGirl]

47. Most people aren't paying income tax????

Really????

Wow, I never realized I was one of the very few who DOES pay income tax! :wow:

[GigiMommy]

51. I betcha chocolate chip cookies that she barely pays her taxes.

[RavensChick]

60. If she does,

it's a lap dance and a stripper pole she uses as a business expense.

[RavensChick]

56. Unbelievable.

I've been paying taxes since high school and even when I was unemployed in the 90's I STILL filed my returns! Where did she get that shit from, a Cracker Jack box?? Geez!!!

[SeattleGirl]

49. Forgive me, Keith, but I'm going to miss your segment on the

flying car.

I have to fly to the grocery store.

Have a nice evening everyone. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

53. Have a good one SG!!!

:hi:

[RavensChick]

62. You too, SG!

Time for Top Chef DC on Bravo!! Have a good evening everyone and hasta luego!!!!!

:hi:

[Botany]

54. Been there .... done that

[Berry Cool]

58. Aww, too bad

Enjoy the lovely evening anyway, Bot.
