11. Word, Miami Liberal.
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 08:27 PM by crispini
There are far too many people who are all tinfoil-to-the-max. KO's giving us a bit of RATIONAL REPORTING and they don't like it. Phooo.

Admittedly, I *do* agree with some of the RATIONAL criticisms I have read on here of his most recent blog, but there's just waaaaay too much leaping to conclusions.

Edited: What, three posts from me on this thread already and no :loveya: ?? Can't have that! :evilgrin:

4. Did you read his blog? He'll be back Friday night with a "year in review"
kind of thing. (Yay!)

And I'll get to watch him for the first time! :loveya:

My hubby ordered satellite for a "Holiday" present for me.

(We've had nothing but rabbit ears for the last 8 years.)

9. Loved the gratuitous Coulter zinger in the blog.
Other than that:

Again, I find it odd that, as Chris reported, *'s approval ratings continue to blow yet so many people showed up to re-elect and vote in favor of the occupation.

And, even in absentia, I give KO a :loveya: Have a great vaco!

Yes, Miami Liberal, much rumbling going on around DU tonight...
Me no likey either. We eat our own waaaaay too quickly around here.

12. That's a big 10-4
It was way too short, though. There was family involved, and a trip to Jersey, so it could have been better. Now, sadly, back to reality.

Thanks for asking.

18. Jersey.
Mostly, the nightmare that is Newark airport (we only flew out of there, thankfully). The family was great. The city was great. But it could have been longer, and if I had my way I'd move there in a heartbeat. :)

30. My condolences.
ALL of the NYC area airports suck bigtime. I wind up going there on bidness about once a year. Flying is horrible these days, I can't fly unless I am crocked out of my mind, and then you wound up hungover in the baggage claim, which REALLY sucks. :D

46. LOL!
That was THE WORST part. The bags took soooo long to come out, I was sure they were lost, stolen, or on their way to Guam. After that story on Countdown (TSA = They Steal Alot), I remembered the sticky fingers and filled the whole thing up with the dirty laundry on top.

LaGuardia was a breeze; Newark, a nightmare. :)

14. I found the interview with the FDA whistleblower REALLY disheartening.
They told him not to publish the Naproxen study or they'd fire him?!!! How horrible.

Our government is truly in the hands of Big Pharma.

it's not original.... I think just about every other fangirly club out there calls themselves "estrogen brigade."

It's fun though! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I've lived in a backasswards one-horse town for the last 10 years.) ;-)

32. I've commented there
but I haven't been back to see if it cleared the censors.

I did notice that most of the few (very few) comments that are posted are from fans and not from people who allegedly hate Olbermann.

:headbang:

That's hilarious!

Oh - and look upthread... Keith pics... Keith pics.

33. Do I get any credit for whacking Joe Scarborough ?
Dear Joe,

Reading your blog today, I noted the tired canard presented as your thesis statement: “… most Americans understand we have no other choice but to defeat these terrorists in Iraq unless we want to face them on the streets of America.”

Two years ago, when I was trying to determine my position on the war in Iraq, my highly-regarded Congressman, Sherrod Brown of Lorain, Ohio stated that an attack on Iraq would be “the biggest Al Qaida recruiting drive, ever”. He was remarkable prescient. While only a single digit percentage of the enemy in Iraq was recruited from other countries, we are hardly on the path to establishing any sort of democracy there or starting a groundswell for democracy anywhere in the Middle East. Your commander-in-chief’s comments today confirmed that we are proceeding retrograde.

51. Oh... you should see some of my musings to the master
Seriously - I'm fairly contained on this blog... when I go to writing Keith, my real personality comes out and it's sarcasm central.

Of course, that's why I find Keith so amusingly funny: it's his subtle jabs at those who were back at the trough whilst the common sense was being passed out or his slipping in something dastardly dirty with such wit that it passes by without FCC reproach that really gets me in the floor rolling around.
