[Patsy Stone]

1. Am I the first?

:loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

5. Hi Pats!

I *love* that pic! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Me too

It was my wallpapaer at work for a while. :loveya:

I'm soooo embarrassed he keeps having to say Florida and Miami, and I know where that hospice is.

[ClassWarrior]

61. Cheers Pats...

:toast:

NGU.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Hey, CW.

So lovely we could all be her together this evening...

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

2. Hi, Crispini!

Been tie shopping lately? :D

Keith: :loveya:

[crispini]

9. Hi Rev!

:hi: .... tie shopping.... :P tee hee.

[WhirlyGirl]

3. Whew! I was saying, "You got 30 seconds to wrap this up!"

My heart was beating really fast for a minute there!

Hi, everybody! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

20. Hi, whirly!

Doesn't your heart beat fast, anyways, where Keith is concerned? :loveya:

[WhirlyGirl]

80. SportsCenter palpitations . . .

. . . <thumpthumpthump-thumpthumpthump>

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

4. oh, thank you!!!

My favorite picture!!!! :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[ClassWarrior]

35. Hey Rev Darlin... I might be able...

...to contact madison2000. PM me.

:hi:

NGU.

[RevCheesehead]

38. you are a sight for sore eyes!

(and a sore heart).

I'll be in touch after the show. ;)

Right now, I'm taking in all the good vibes I can get.

NGU, doodle.

[WhirlyGirl]

6. My, Keith looks groovy tonight!

[Clark2008]

7. Hey all!

Just a wee bit late - my son wanted to show me something silly he was doing in the tub.

:)

[RevCheesehead]

16. "Rubber Duckie, you're the one...."

Kids. Aren't they great? :)

Hi, Clark!

[Clark2008]

30. Hi Rev!

:hi:

And it wasn't a Rubber Duckie. He had a lid that had $1.00 written on it stuck (with water suction) on his tummy claiming I could buy him for a dollar. LOL!

My son can be a bit, erm, imaginative at times. :D

[RevCheesehead]

36. Tell him I'd pay $20.

But he'd have to learn to love the Packers.

[Clark2008]

51. He said, "Noooo!!"

And then looked at me like I'd killed his best friend!

LOL!

[RevCheesehead]

56. LOL

Can't blame him - he has excellent taste in Moms. :thumbsup:

[WhirlyGirl]

104. LOL! Clark that's so cute!

... (The first time I met my future husband, he had a label stuck on his forehead that read "Slightly Imperfect." I hasten to add, it was Halloween. :-))

[crispini]

8. I missed it...

Is Dr. Gets THE hospice director of the hospice where she is or just A hospice director?

[RevCheesehead]

13. I thought he said he was the National Director of Hospice....

but I missed part of it, since "nature called." :P

[seito]

10. Greetings

I am not sure how much more of this story I can take.

[Clark2008]

12. And it won't end after she dies, rest her soul.

Then we have to endure the he said, she said of autopsies (of which there aren't any, but the fundies will make sure there are).
Autopsies are factual science.
Whoops. Forgot. Fundies don't believe in science. :eyes:

[crispini]

21. I hear ya, Clark2008.

:hi: and hi Seito too! :hi:

[seito]

34. Hi Clark and crispini

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

40. Hi, seito ...

Thanks again for the steak last night. :9

[seito]

44. Hi Cheese :)

Care for some desert

or some dessert

[RevCheesehead]

49. Is that CHEESEcake?

Yummy!

Is that smiley wearing a turbin, or a cowboy hat?

[seito]

66. That's blivet**

in his cowboy hat. I guess they decided that he can go fight his own war for oil

[RevCheesehead]

71. ahh, I see it now.

Maybe it's his campaign for the "New Army."

Complete with the latest technological advances...

[ClassWarrior]

58. Hey WP...

:hi:

This too will pass.

NGU.

[seito]

84. Hiya CW

I know. Until then I'll just have to keep the remote close and try not to break the mute button.

Nice to see you :pals:

[bleever]

11. Why, hello ladies, and how nice it is to see you here.

:loveya: for Keef for taking the opportunity to mention the stolen election again.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

17. Aargh! how be ye, bleev?

bleever --------> ;)

[bleever]

41. I be needing my grog right quick now.

Double ration.

And fer the lasses:

[RevCheesehead]

48. Bleev - did you hear about the meetup in Milwaukee?

Details still to follow. Maybe sometime this summer.

want a road trip? :)

[ClassWarrior]

54. Uh-oh... Look out breweries...

:toast: bleev!

NGU.

[bleever]

79. Could I ride the Ducks at the Dells?

And hey bro, nice to see ya.

I'd love a little time in the land of kettle moraines, and some of those small brats, slightly charred. What's the date?

:toast:

[ClassWarrior]

103. Nothing certain yet.

Some folks are talking Summerfest time (last week of June through first week of July), but I may be gone part of that time. :(

I love the Kettle Moraine, btw... Let's go campin!

NGU.

[bleever]

119. Had many good times camping in WI with the Boy Scouts...

and fortunately, the scouts and the leaders kept their various deviancies separate.

:)

[crispini]

22. hi Bleev!

he did, didn't he... that's funny, I didn't think about that until you mentioned it....

[bleever]

32. We're so steeped in it that we forget that the corporate media

isn't talking about it...for now.

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

25. Well, he should

It's nice to see someone keeping an eye on democracy. :hi:

[bleever]

27. As long as I've got one good one left.

:hi:

[seito]

47. Hi Bleev

How goes it?

[bleever]

87. Still not giving up, still believing.

How are you?

:hi:

[seito]

107. I am praising the inventor of the remote control

One touch of the button, and MSNBC is gone. ***poof***

I swear, KO is the ONLY thing redeeming this Corporate News Network (...well, maybe Ron Reagan...)

Oh and NNNNNNGU

I Believe

[bleever]

122. Good editing is indeed the key.

Abrams isn't so bad, but how come Keef is soooo much better than the rest of MSNBC?

Is it because they can't even tell?

And why does Scarborough smile like he's endorsing a hemmorhoid treatment? Is it because he's a giant a**hole?

We'll keep working on these deep questions.

:)

[seito]

125. ...and why does Tucker Carlson look like he is staring

in the hemorrhoid commercial?

[bleever]

128. Dear WP,

I think you meant to type "starring", and beyond that, I know your question to be a rhetorical one.

:)

[seito]

134. LOL

I did mean starring, but you know Bleev it could work either way. :hurts:

[Greylyn58]

14. Howdy Everyone!!!

Man this case just keeps going and going. I am just sick of the people who feel it is their right to insert themselves into this mess.
This is just unbelievable.!!!

PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!!!! :argh: :argh:

:hi: everyone!!!

Hope y'all had a good day!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :toast: :woohoo: :toast: :bounce: :bounce:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

31. Hi, Greylyn.

:hi: Did you enjoy the rest of your birthday last night? :)

[Greylyn58]

50. Yes I did....

thanks for asking. I didn't really do anything yesterday as I had dinner with my folks on Sunday instead.

:evilgrin: :popcorn:

[RevCheesehead]

65. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best thing you can do.

As long as Sheridan was with you, I'm sure you were very happy!

Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

Another day of prayers and protests are expected Tuesday outside the hospice where Terri Schiavo continues to hold on even after a week and a half without food and water. The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined the vigil outside the hospice Tuesday morning. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7326189/

The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/29/politics/29donate.html

Now both sides are in favor of an autopsy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7293186/

Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us.

Investigators on Tuesday were looking into whether more teens were involved in the Minnesota Indian reservation killings, following the
arrest of the son of the tribe's leader. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7318945/

Residents searched through smoldering rubble for survivors on Indonesia's Nias island Tuesday, and relatives wept over the bodies of the dead after an 8.7-magnitude earthquake hammered the region, triggering a tsunami scare. Death toll estimates ranged from 330 to 2,000. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7316846/

Getting a good night's sleep is hard for many adults and that often means poorer health, lower productivity on the job, more danger on the roads and a less vibrant sex life. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7322696/
McDonald's has offered to pay top hip hop artists to incorporate the 'Big Mac' into their song lyrics. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4389751.stm

That's what we're working on for tonight's show.

Finally,
A 7-year-old who apparently wanted to play with friends couldn't wait. He drove off in his father's truck, eventually running it into a ditch before police officers managed to coax him out of the vehicle. The boy was driving the big, dual-wheel truck erratically along Highway 27 in Alabama when other drivers called police Thursday morning, saying they couldn't see anyone behind the wheel. The boy rolled up the windows and locked the doors as police approached. He pressed the gas pedal and the truck sent mud and dirt flying but didn't move. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/T/TINY_DRIVER?SITE=NWCN&TEMPLATE=STRANGEHEADS.html&SECTION=HOME

[seito]

18. What is this???

A journalist that may have compromised his ethics and betrayed the public trust :wow:

[crispini]

23. LOL, Seito.

Yeah, THAT's a surprise. :eyes:

[seito]

28. "Stop hurting America"

Jon Stewart's words of wisdom to CNN

[Clark2008]

24. Never!

And you can tell that gets under Keith's skin - A LOT!

[Patsy Stone]

29. Who'd have thunk it, huh?

And Johnnie Cochran... Wow.

Hi there, seito. :hi:

[seito]

33. Hi Patsy

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

46. How's it going?

I've really been avoiding the "news" recently. :puke:

[seito]

60. Yea, I know

At least Keef tries to keep it to a minimum. I had to turn it off last Friday. :puke:

[bleever]

64. I'm shocked, shocked (yawn). Maybe the National Press Club

can put him on a panel too.

:(

[crispini]

26. Cochran was 67?

I always thought he was younger than that. He always looked so young.

[Clark2008]

37. Awww.... I always got a kick out of Hal Heflin

He was an absolute HOOT in the Anita Hill hearings (as much as one could HAVE a "hoot" in those hearings - but, at 19, that issue began my interest in politics).

I guess Terri will die soon - that would complete the (forgive the reference) trinity.

[crispini]

39. Three at a time

strange but true....

[Clark2008]

59. Hi, Crispini!

:hi:

Nice to have you here in real time!

[crispini]

78. Hi Clark2008!

Yes, it is indeed a treat to be here in real time. Ah. Me, the couch, the cats, the computer, and Keith... MMmmmmmmm!

[crispini]

42. OMG. I want to go be in the trailer race.

This Lithuanian guy is a hoot.

[RevCheesehead]

43. yeah, but weird as he is,

I'd take him over Delay any day.

[crispini]

52. A-MEN, Rev!

ick, a Scarborough Country ad. he is SO not in the middle of anything. what a RW punk. :puke:

[Clark2008]

55. Amen, Rev! nt

[Clark2008]

45. Oui Revolutionne!

Maintenant, quelqu'un me dira-t-il ou la barricade est ?

[RevCheesehead]

53. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the nice tie.

Keith looks so good tonight!

[Clark2008]

62. Because I'm too busy drooling over his outfit to make a comment

:loveya:

I love that orange!

[crispini]

63. Ah, but he most always looks nummy.

But that is indeed a particularly fine tie. (We haven't seen the gray suit recently, have we?)

[RevCheesehead]

69. DON'T CURSE IT!!!!!

Honestly, the way you tempt the fates.

He's gonna be wearing that thing tomorrow.

[crispini]

97. Hee! you know it! nt

[seito]

68. For Keef and what he is wearing

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

"and for Keef and what he doesn't wear at night...."

:loveya::loveya::loveya::woohoo::loveya::loveya::loveya:

[crispini]

81. Bueno, Rev!

:toast: :loveya: :toast: :loveya: :toast: :loveya: :toast: :loveya:

[bleever]

72. If we're talking fashion, Cheese, how about this look?

http://images.nonexiste.net.nyud.net:8090/pirate%20nun.jpg

[RevCheesehead]

75. Mother Angelica!!!

Bleev - she isn't your "mom," is she??? :wow:

[bleever]

100. Not my mother, but clearly superior

to a sinner like me.

And my sins aren't even that original.

:shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

105. I dunno - isn't "Duck-riding" rather risque?

:evilgrin:

[bleever]

116. Better than what was happening to innocent kitties yesterday.

At least she was drunk when it happened.

[Clark2008]

118. Duck riding, anyone?

[seito]

76. LOL

It is definitely you. Go for it :P

[crispini]

85. Bwahahahahahaha!

:toast:

[crispini]

57. This whole Red Lake story... so sad. nt

[crispini]

67. The porn-Boyscout guy is NOT from Dallas.

He's a suburbanite. He lives in red, red, red Colleyville.

I'm really getting tired of these crappy suburbanites giving my nice, almost-Democratic, funky urban city a bad name.

[Clark2008]

70. OK - I'm going straight to hell, but, I'm sorry, I laughed my ass off

at this:
http://durrrrr.blogspot.com/

Terri Schiavo's blog.

:evilgrin:

I guess we have to laugh to keep from going completely bonkers over this issue.

[crispini]

73. Ah, the Iraquis can't decide on a speaker.

Yep, sounds like democracy to me. Actually it sounds like local party politics to me! :7

And "Shocked, shocked!" -- LOL

[bleever]

74. How long until the "no WMD" blame reaches the real culprits,

Cheney and his sock puppet?

:grr:

[crispini]

99. Never. They are teflon.

The teflon sockpuppet.

[bleever]

127. Now, ms. crispi, I know you've owned Teflon pans. Eventually,

the Teflon loses its non-stick properties.

The bastards are so intent on going for as much as possible that they are going to cook way too many eggs at way too high a heat, and bam! people are angry that their eggs are sticking and that pan is yesterday.

Shrubco: eventually, not even Goodwill will take them.

[crispini]

129. Oh, I hope so.

But I have a teflon pan which has lasted me for years and years and years. of course, maybe that shows you how much I cook. :7

[bleever]

131. AND...you're treating that pan WAY better than they've treated

the miracle of American democracy.

Crispini for president!

:7

[crispini]

133. Democracy:

use medium heat, no metal utensils, wash regularly.

I can handle that! :thumbsup:

[bleever]

140. LOL. That's a whole campaign platform, right there.

In fact, it's the philosophy of a genuine statesman.

Or should we say "statesperson"?

How about just "patriot"?

[crispini]

77. Flynt on Falwell -- PRICELESS!

:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

86. That's one of my favorite all time movies: The People vs. Larry Flynt

I can't stand pornography (well, at least Larry Flynt's type of hurtful pornography), but, as a student of the First Amendment, I will fight for his right to produce it.
It's my job to keep my kids away from it, not the government's.
Boycott, stop purchasing the product, but never, never ban.

[crispini]

91. I'll drink to that

:toast:

[WhirlyGirl]

112. Due primarily to the fine work by the two leads, yes?

Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love are game for just about ANYTHING and they could have messed it up by overplaying it, but they were both very good, I thought.

[Clark2008]

120. Well, yes - the did a particularly good job and the subject matter

was interesting, as well.

I remember, at the time, how funny it was to see "Woody" from "Cheers" as a pornographer, though. :)

:hi: WG.

[WhirlyGirl]

123. HI, Clark! . . . Well, not so funny as it would have seemed . . .

. . . had it not come out BEFORE that, that his dad was a gangster. :scared:

Imagine what it must have been like to grow up with THAT!

[crispini]

83. Those Big Macs

look SO unappealing... :puke:

[crispini]

88. Drive by on Ronald McDonald! Bwah! nt

[WhirlyGirl]

89. ka-CHING!

Funny!... no one else would/could cover the story this way!
:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

90. This "Big Mac" countdown is too funny!

Is Keith trying to replenish the war-chest for "What Have We Learned?"

[seito]

93. LOL, I was thinking the same thing

Pay up Ronald :)

[crispini]

94. "You're a smart white man."

:rofl:

[WhirlyGirl]

92. Am I the only one who liked Vanilla Ice?

[bleever]

102. (sound of crickets)

Hi, WG!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

108. LOL n/t

[WhirlyGirl]

109. Hi, bleev! I thought "Ice Ice Baby" was elegant . . . and so did...

... a lot of other people because the video jukebox (they don't have it here any more, but it was a cable station that played anything on their list for 99-cents a song billed to your phone bill) -- anyway, the video jukebox kept playing "Ice, Ice..." and "Juicy Got 'em Crazy" and "Baby Got Back" over and over.

Democracy in action! :-)

[bleever]

130. LOL. Democracy rocks.

And I would only make fun of people's taste in music if I knew they'd know I was joking.

And don't make me sing the lyrics to "Kung Fu Fighting" to prove it.

:)

[WhirlyGirl]

136. It's okay . . .

. . . I like to buck the conventional wisdom, anyway. If it weren't for
underdogs I wouldn't have anyone to root for. (Howard Dean in 2008!:loveya::bounce::loveya:)

[Clark2008]

113. I liked his hit better when it was "Under Pressure" by Queen.

:evilgrin:

[WhirlyGirl]

115. They play "Under Pressure" here, on the retro station -- and I always . .

. . . think it's going to be "Ice, Ice, Baby" but it never is. :cry:

[RevCheesehead]

95. "Hey, Keith, you're a smart white man!"

Ain't it the truth? Ain't it the truth??? :bounce:

[Greylyn58]

96. This is just too funny!!!

Mickey Dee's has lost their minds!!!! OMG...this just too too funny!!!

:woohoo:

Tell it Paul...you're right...KO is smart!!! :woohoo:

[WhirlyGirl]

121. Greylyn -- Hi, birthday girl! Look at your post count!

You'll make the 4-figure bracket this week for sure...
Maybe during Countdown's anniversary show on Thursday if you're prolific enuff! :bounce:

[crispini]

98. And Dan Abrams is wearing yet another eyebleeding tie.

God love'em, do we have to tie shop for ALL of MSNBC?

I'm not buying NOTHING for Tweety or Scaryborough.

[RevCheesehead]

101. ROFL

I agree. We shop for Keith. And John. Only those who are willing to give us "real news."

Although, I wouldn't mind giving Tucker a REAL tie - and, no, it shouldn't even be a clip-on. :evilgrin:

[bleever]

106. LOFL, crispi.

I think "eyebleeding" is my word of the week.

Maybe his "fans" are really yanking his chain.

[seito]

110. LOL

I had to switch back to MSNBC to check out that tie. Even with the TV muted, I can't escape Schiavo "Is starving a person immoral" exposure.

ARGHHHHHGHHHHH

BTW the tie

[crispini]

117. Dan's ties have been consistently horrible

every time he has been on after Keith. They're totally pimpadelic. Wardrobe *definitely* needs to give him a sharp slap upside the head. :P

[gkhouston]

144. nah, give it a couple of years, and Keef can give 'em

the ties he's not that fond of and wear nothing but ours. :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

111. oh, that picture made me pee. he's snapping his fingers.

i wish i hadn't given away my copy of Howl.

[RevCheesehead]

114. Hi there, Kleeb-lover!

What you did for the Kleeb - very classy, very nice. :thumbsup:

[Clark2008]

124. Who is Kleeb and what did she do?

I need to get my ass over to the lounge more often, apparently.
;)

[seito]

135. She's a "He"

Nice kid. He hangs out in the lounge and the John Kerry group.

[bettyellen]

137. he's the next KO, i can sense it.......

[WhirlyGirl]

126. bettyellen, did you see the vid that produced the photo? (link inside)

http://olbermann.org/ko/video_detail.cfm?id=14

:loveya: for the heart-touching melodies of Keith!

[bettyellen]

132. Omigod i peed some more!!

[WhirlyGirl]

138. 2 *new* SCREEN-CAPS of tonight's show . . .

[Nothing Without Hope]

139. Hi guys, a drive-by posting of a nature photo

I got acupunctured this AM and I'm here to tell you that in combination with my wonderful Indian cooking class this evening, it produced what feels like terminal bliss-out. Just got home from the class and I am so mellow and sleepy I can't stay awake. So I'll just say hello to you wonderful people and post a nature photo for your refreshment. It's not mine, but it is from one of my favorite places - the Texas Hill Country around Austin. It's from this page: http://www.notesfromtheroad.com/greatplains/greatplainstexashillcountry.htm If you use your imagination, you can hear the sound of the birdsong and the clear, cold spring water-fed stream rushing over the limestone slabs.



Nice to see the famous Beatnik Keef photo make a reappearance!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

My plan is to sleep myself into oblivion tonight and then be all peppy tomorrow. So I hope to join you guys on tomorrow night's thread.

Reading yesterday's thread, I couldn't BELIEVE Jon Stewart's comment about ladies liking stripes - a callout to KO and the KOEB if there ever was one! Seito's smilie-on-demand prowess remains intimindatingly awesome - that steak one was off the charts and produced instantly!

And what's this about a DU Meetup in April?

[WhirlyGirl]

141. Hi, Hope! . . . wow, lichen is pretty!

Get lots of sleep, and we'll see you here tomorrow! :boring:

[CC]

142. A fast drive by

or more like a hit and run. Got to watch the show kinda( or at least see Keith if not hear him) while someone was having a breakdown on my phone to me. Set the VCR to record the late show since I have to go to bed now. I'll try to catch everyone tomorrow night
(hoping no more breakdowns that need an ear) I see Hope left a great picture so I'm going to have to owe one.


:loveya::loveya:KO :loveya::loveya:


KEEF

[WhirlyGirl]

143. See you tomorrow, Ferretessa!

[bleever]

145. Hey WG: just noticed your sig line.

I forgot I'd even said that.

:7
