12-2-09 KOEB Party ...... My Statement to the EDVs

[Botany]

I have let the EDVs down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I am not without faults and I am far
short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings and those feelings should be shared by the KOEB
clubhouse alone.

It has come to my attention that for some time now I have called more than one EDV "my fave," and I have given this a lot of
reflection and thought and I promise never to it again. Honest, I really mean it this time.

I will strive to be a better person. BTW I forgive Bleever for selling my texts to the National Enquirer too.




BTW 24 hours later I still have a problem w/ Obama's build up the troops so we can take the troops out of Afghanistan plan ....
because it is all based on the idea of having a strong central government in Afghanistan .... something they have never had so ...
we can turn power over to "it" and some sort of nebulous idea of making Pakistan stable too.

[SharonRB]

1. And in other news, Tiger Woods still has trouble with his....uh...

putz or is it putts?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

7. LOL!

Hi Sharon! :hi:

[SharonRB]

12. Hi, Rev

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. That was hilarious.

:hi:, Shar!

[SharonRB]

14. Hi, Pats

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

2. well, I'm such a scrooge

and a rw tool because I'm okay with the Salvation Army making sure that the kids asking for presents actually live in their service area. :eyes:

:hi:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

10. ...

Wolvie! :hug:

[WolverineDG]

30. Yeah, it's Angel Food Ministries all over again

:eyes:

CHEESY!! :loveya: :hug:

Just another opportunity for anti-Christian bigots to whine about Christian organizations that at least try to do something about the poor. (much easier to whine than to DO SOMETHING, you know)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

33. That's not even the worst of it...

I hear they sometimes say "merry Christmas." :wow:

[WolverineDG]

40. OMG! RUN! HIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wow:

(I do admit to saying "Happy Holidays" in order to jerk chains, tho :evilgrin: )

dg

[RevCheesehead]

43. That's because you live in the Bible Belt.

Around here, nobody really gives a shit. :evilgrin:

[PSzymeczek]

127. I prefer to say

"Happy ChrismaHanukKwaanzYulStice"

[Berry Cool]

45. I hate that crap.

The anti-religionists at DU are really frosting my beer stein lately. And they're always worse this time of year.

Uh-oh, look out, folks, we're gettin' Musto tonight.

[WolverineDG]

Yeah, a bunch of holier-than-thous stating BS like

Santa Claus doesn't require green cards.

Well, it must be nice to live in an area where a foreign country doesn't rely on your community to bail it out of its obligations to take care of its poor.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

54. I doubt that the Salvation Army sees itself as Santa.

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

13. I've been staying away from most of DU

After Nance Greggs' thread was locked, I think it jumped the shark.

:hi:, Wolvie!

[SharonRB]

18. I missed that

Nance had a thread locked? What was the topic?

[Patsy Stone]

25. In a nutshell: "Why doesn't he govern exactly the way I want him to?"

It was a little provocative, but at least she didn't call anyone a warmonger. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

Holy crap. Nance Greggs??

One of the more normally levelheaded voices and gifted writers on DU????

[Patsy Stone]

51. Last night

was very, very bad. Depending on where you posted and what you had to say, you were either a warmonger, or a Kucinich-loving leftie -- or a troll. Not one of our best moments.

[Berry Cool]

68. Oh, I know.

I read on separate threads about how Keith was an idiot, and how Rachel was an idiot.

Keith, it was said, is an idiot because, after all, he's just a former sportscaster.

Rachel? She's an idiot too, but they had a harder time coming up with why. After all, she was never a sportscaster.

Ultimately, I think the reason for calling her an idiot was: "She disagrees with me."

I also saw at least one thread claiming that Keith has no expertise on military matters so he has no business telling the president what he thinks the president should do. This, of course, from someone on DU with no military expertise saying what THEY think the president should do.

I have a feeling the irony was lost.

[Patsy Stone]

74. The experts on all sides

were out in force last night. It's amazing that everyone knows exactly what everyone else should think.

[SharonRB]

90. Glad I wasn't feeling well

I had one of my killer headaches and just didn't feel great in general. I watched the speech, but didn't post anywhere.

[Patsy Stone]

92. Such a good choice.

I poked around, smelled ass all over the place, and watched The People's Court instead. Are you feeling better?

[SharonRB]

106. Not perfect, but somewhat better

The headache is still there, but it's abating.

[Patsy Stone]

119. Glad to hear that.

Hopefully, it will be done and gone by the morning.

[WolverineDG]

24. Nance Greggs' had a locked thread?

:wow:

Yeah, the whole SA thread is beyond stupid. Posted by someone in the GLBT community who just wants to bash the SA because they're "anti-gay bigots." Got all huffy when I suggested that instead of whining about it, he could get off his ass & go DO SOMETHING. I'm SUCH a freeper. :eyes: And, no, I don't like that aspect of their organization, but if they get shut down, then who is going to do what they do?

dg

[Patsy Stone]

42. The 101st Chairborne

never does anything. It's so much easier to sit in your pajamas and bitch.

Yepper, she did. First time I've ever seen it. Here's a link to her journal: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/NanceGreggs It's the top entry.

[RevCheesehead]

46. Sarcasm is wasted on the stupid.

And we got a whole lotta stupid around here. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

53. Wow, that was strong medicine.

Well written and had many good points.

I have a feeling I know why it got locked, though. It used that extremely offensive phrase: "Where's my pony?"

[RevCheesehead]

58. either that, or

she's punished for not using the sarcasm smily.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

65. Yes, to all of it.

But a lot worse was left to stand -- on both sides of the fight.

[WolverineDG]

60. Yeah, the 101 loves to bash Texas too

they love to bitch, but ask them for help (or worse, money), they get all huffy. Thank God we can fight back with Prop 8 Kryptonite. :evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

75. I noticed.

They seem to hate Texas now more than they hated Ohio after 2004.

[SharonRB]

104. Well, her OP was wonderful

It was the comments that got it locked. I haven't read them all yet, but I can only imagine.

[RevCheesehead]

3. It's about time!!

Cuddles! :loveya:

[bleever]

4. Isn't it better to see a friend get all that Enquirer money instead of some stranger?

Thanks, Buddy!

Bought me a new truck:

[RevCheesehead]

11. Where's your beer?

:hi:

[bleever]

23. Some of it's in my belly, and some of it's

in the pool.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

26. Mine was mingling with the brats earlier.

Now it's just simmering with the leftover onions. :9

[bleever]

49. What kind of beer?

Is it krausened in God's country?

[RevCheesehead]

52. Miller Ice House.

When you cook brats, you use cheap beer. BTW, I DRANK an MGD 64. :toast:

[bleever]

66. Did it taste

like the water in my pool?

[RevCheesehead]

69. I don't know.

I've never tasted the water in your pool.

[Patsy Stone]

28. ool

There's no P in it. Keep it that way.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

29. Don't forget the occasional interloper:

[bleever]

34. LOL.

I know, I know: "We don't swim in your toilet, please don't yada yada..."

:hi:

[Botany]

55. Does it strike you odd @ all that Rummy even opens his mouth?

BTW nice pool!

[bleever]

72. He has no fear of prosecution.

Unfortunately. But it did seem like a strange time for him to pop out of his gopher hole.

[Botany]

76. Especially right after the senate committee said he let bin Laden walk @

...... Tora Bora.

[Patsy Stone]

78. I have an idea:

But I don't think we should limit it to just one of them. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

83. WHERE did you find that???

:rofl: I wanna play! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

89. Google

but, sadly, it doesn't come with the gigantic mallet I require for full enjoyment.

[bleever]

88. Actually, I'd reach for one of these:

[Patsy Stone]

91. What is that?

A nine-iron and a potato masher? :)

[bleever]

Two kinds

of weed or grass cutters, that you swing like a golf club.

Hmm, good thing Mrs. Woods didn't have one of those handy...

[Patsy Stone]

97. "We'll do it LIVE!"

Osama/Obama... What's the difference in Billo's pea brain anyhow?

[Patsy Stone]

5. Hi, Bot!

:hi:, all!

[RevCheesehead]

15. Is tonight apology night on TV?

First Tweety, then Tiger?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

19. What did Chris apologize for?

Existing? :hi:, Rev!

[SharonRB]

21. LOL

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

22. For calling West Point "enemy territory."

He went on for quite a while, too. :evilgrin:

[SharonRB]

31. I only saw part of the show tonight

Guess I missed that part.

[RevCheesehead]

35. That was at the very beginning.

He made quite the big deal about it, so I'm guessing he probably got lots of sheite for it. :evilgrin:

[PSzymeczek]

128. I simply can't watch Tweety.

He parks on my last nerve.

[Patsy Stone]

32. Yeah, that was pretty stupid.

Good on him. Now if he could just think before spewing his brilliant observations, that would be cool.

[RevCheesehead]

36. I'd be happy if he just quit spitting

every time he uses a word beginning with "p".

[Berry Cool]

57. I guess Tweety forgot last night why they call the President "Commander in Chief."

When you're Commander in Chief, a military academy is NOT by definition enemy territory. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

6. We forgive you, Bot.

:hi: I think.

I guess, like Tiger, you're still having problems with your putz...I mean, your putts.

And yeah, I share your concerns about the other stuff.

Keith looks great against the fake backdrop they put up to obscure the tree lighting.

Oh, and hi to the rest of the gang. :hi: I will be in and out from thee living room.

[Patsy Stone]

9. That's at the end of the show, isn't it?

I forgot it was tonight.

:hi:, Berry!

[RevCheesehead]

17. What do you mean, "we"?

Speak for yourself, Kimosabe.

:hi:

[Botany]

37. I thought you were in the forgive Botany he knows not what he does biz?

[RevCheesehead]

38. I'm on leave.

You can't buy my love that cheap. :P

[Botany]

44. Somebody as smart and special as you would never fall for something ...

... so cheap.



Dr. Smooth is in.

[RevCheesehead]

48. Now we're talking!!

Hi, Buddy! :bounce::bounce:

[Berry Cool]

59. Ah, the vengeful Rev.

She won't let her Cuddles off so easy.

[RevCheesehead]

63. Hey, I held out for a case of Leinie's!

Well worth it. Want one?

[Berry Cool]

77. Sure, thanks!

Maybe it'll pop my ears.

[RevCheesehead]

85. Here ya go!

Drink it slow.

[WolverineDG]

16. Is Mama chasing you with golf clubs again?

:shrug:

dg

[Botany]

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

I am so weak. :blush:

[bleever]

62. She wants to spoon with his niblick.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

64. you made that up!

Didn't you? :rofl:

[bleever]

67. My only regret

is not fitting "mashie" in there somehow. :)

[Botany]

20. Don Rummy also said:

on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

on bin Laden being @ Toro Bora

..... He (rummy) and some others said the evidence was not conclusive about bin Laden's location.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_amer...

on the length of the war in Iraq.

* Feb. 7, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to U.S. troops in Aviano, Italy: "It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

http://www.usatoday.com/educate/war28-article.htm

Why the fuck would anybody buy one word out of that proven liar's mouth? :grr:

[ralps]

39. Hi Botany, Hi Everyone!! I forgive you Botany & I'm pissed at Barack too!!

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

[RevCheesehead]

41. Hi ralps and Crook!

Did you get Russ' latest e-mail? You can sign his petition. If you don't get it, let me know and I can e-mail ya if you want.

:hi: :meow:

[ralps]

47. Hi RevCheesehead, Crook & I are doing good & Hi to Oreo, & lil' Keith! How are you all doing?

Yes I got it! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: <For Russ!!

[RevCheesehead]

50. I'm doing great!

I discovered that Goodman's has an on-line store, and I got parts for my Oster!!! :woohoo:
(it's the small things that bring joy!)

[Patsy Stone]

56. Is it just me, or does Ezra Klein

look like Markos' separated-at-birth twin?

[RevCheesehead]

61. Sounds a bit like him, too.

Purple shirt and blue tie? eeeew.

[Patsy Stone]

70. Not good.

What color do you think the socks are?

[RevCheesehead]

71. pink

argyle.

[RevCheesehead]

82. Don't look now, but the twin just showed up.

Sans tie.

[Patsy Stone]

84. He changed that shirt pretty quickly!

:thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

73. When do/did they light the tree?

[Patsy Stone]

80. Just before 9 o'clock

if I heard right.

[RevCheesehead]

87. Do you think Keith will light it again?

Unless Musto uses up all the time.

[Botany]

79. Shut up Rush and marry wife #4 (err Beard)

Please give me 5 minutes w/ Rove.

The man needs a beat down.

Obama solves cancer ..... Rove, "Why does Obama hate Doctors?"

[Patsy Stone]

Loved Keith calling him Porky Pig earlier.

Remind me again: why isn't he in jail?

[Botany]

86. Remind me again: why isn't he in jail?

Because outing a CIA agent, spying, rigging elections, and sending a Gov. of Alabama to
jail on b.s. charges aren't worth prosecuting.

[bleever]

81. Looks like Markos is appearing live from his house

in the Berkeley hills.

[Berry Cool]

93. YEEEEAAAAAA! Keith's gonna light the Rockefeller Center tree again!!

:bounce: It's not Christmas without Keith lighting the tree!!! :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

95. He's reading me again!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=315&topic_id=155503&mesg_id=155593

[Botany]

94. Tiger likes his ladies a little on the "tart side"

[RevCheesehead]

96. The second one looks like Keith's girlfriend.

Adopted daughter.
Whatever.

[Botany]

101. Bitter table for one please

[Berry Cool]

102. Oh, that one on the Weather Channel?

She's a drag--a well-known drag. We turn down the sound on her and say rude things.

[Patsy Stone]

103. Please, Rev.

I believe the accepted term is "niece". :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

100. Are you sure that first picture isn't Steph?

Also, it seems to help if they have big, fake, off-kilter boobs.

[Botany]

105. No Steph has little "fun bumps"

:hi: Steph

You & me in NYC?

[RevCheesehead]

109. Dream on, Buddy.

She'll be stalking Keith from now on.

[RevCheesehead]

107. Steph, Katy, and Kelly Ripa

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

110. Wow. Musto dressed in the dark, too.

Bright purple and olive drab? Blecccch.

[RevCheesehead]

112. It looks blue to me.

Maybe he's dressing like a christmas tree.

[Patsy Stone]

116. It's Grimace purple on my TV.

"I detest cheap sentiment. Now, back to Carrie Prejean..."

:rofl:

[bleever]

115. Hostess cupcakes?

:shrug:

[Botany]

120. God Good

Tiger can have his gentleman's gentleman (butler) talk to his lawyer and everything could
have been lined up all nice and quite but no he hits it w/ those and no middle man?

[bleever]

124. Should have rolled with his caddy as his wingman.

"Hey Steve, how do you think I should play this hole?"

[Botany]

126. Penalty Strokes for moving your ball from the ruff?

n/t

[ralps]

98. Today's worst person in the world is BillO!! He called Obama Osama- Live not taped!!

[Berry Cool]

99. Billo can't remember when he's doing it live

and when he's not! :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

108. Hi, ralps!

How's your eye doing this evening? Meow, Crook!

[RevCheesehead]

111. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Passion"

Oy! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

113. Hi! Just in time for more Tiger.

:eyes: :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

117. Hi, SG!

And a little Musto, too. :)

[WolverineDG]

114. Good job lighting the tree, Keith!

It's pretty! :)

dg

[Patsy Stone]

118. It is!

His timing was much better this year.

[Berry Cool]

121. I think he did an excellent job stringing all those lights, too.

:applause: Really, he deserves a raise. Someone should talk to his new Comcast overlords.

[Patsy Stone]

122. Have a lovely evening, y'all!

See youse on the morrow. I'm off to watch Glee. :hi:

[RevCheesehead]
