MrSG and I went to check out the new addition to one of the local malls last night, so I missed the Clubhouse meeting. He bought me a rose because "you're missing your time with the other Keith". :rofl:

:hi:

[Botany]

24. Drive by blog

I don't buy the Govt.'s story on the A-thrax.

Cheney and all his people got A-thrax antidote right after 9-11.
The Suicide cleans things up real neatly
How many people w/ info that would hurt the bush admin have
killed themselves or had "convient deaths"
The Govt knew through DNA that the A-Thrax came from Ft.
Dietrich ..... they knew this in 2001

This whole group from bush/Cheney/Blackwater/big oil/Defense/CIA
all seem like killing people is S.O.P.

And w/ Web's aid killing himself, the air force general who stopped the nukes
from going to the mid east killing himself, David Kelly in England killing himself
w/ a pen knife

and look @ this list:


#61: Dr. Larry Bustard, age 53. Died July 2, 2004 from unknown causes. He was a Sandia scientist in the Department of Energy who helped develop a foam spray to clean up congressional buildings and media sites during the anthrax scare in 2001. He worked at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque. As an expert in bioterrorism, his team came up with a new technology used against biological and chemical agents.

This one has several anthrax-related deaths:


March 2000: Larry C. Ford
--Expertise: Served as a consultant to both the CIA and the chemical and biological-weapons program of the South African Defense Forces, headed by Wouter Basson. His contributions to Basson's program included lectures on converting ordinary items into lethal biological weapons.
He provided samples of virulent, designer strains of cholera, anthrax, botulism, plague, and malaria, as well as a bacteria he claimed had been mutated to be "pigment specific" for the white minority government of South Africa.

--Circumstance of Death: Died of a shotgun blast at his home in Irvine, Orange County, California. His death was later ruled a suicide.


Nov. 21, 2001: Vladimir Pasechnik, 64
--Expertise: World-class microbiologist and high-profile Russian defector; defected to the United Kingdom in 1989, played a huge role in Russian biowarfare and helped to figure out how to modify cruise missiles to deliver the agents of mass biological destruction.
--Background: founded Regma Biotechnologies company in Britain, a laboratory at Porton Down, the country?s chem-bio warfare defense establishment. Regma currently has a contract with the U.S. Navy for "the diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of anthrax".
--Circumstance of Death: The pathologist who did the autopsy, and who also happened to be associated with Britain?s spy agency, concluded he died of a stroke. Details of the postmortem were not revealed at an inquest, in which the press was given no prior notice. Colleagues who had worked with Pasechnik said he was in good health.

July 18, 2003: Dr. David Kelly, 59
--Expertise: Biological warfare weapons specialist, senior post at the Ministry of Defense, an expert on DNA sequencing when he was head of microbiology at Porton Down and worked with two American scientists, Benito Que, 52, and Don Wiley, 57.
--Helped Vladimir Pasechnik found Regma Biotechnologies, which has a contract with the U.S. Navy for "the diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of anthrax"
--Circumstance of Death: He was found dead after seemingly slashing his wrist in a wooded area near his home at Southmoor, Oxfordshire.

July 2, 2004: Larry Bustard, 53
--Expertise: A Sandia scientist who helped develop a foam spray to clean up congressional buildings and media sites during the anthrax scare in 2001. Worked at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque. His team came up with a new technology used against biological and chemical agents.
--Circumstance of Death: unknown

[Berry Cool]

27. It's like Keith said...

...it stinks. :scared: I think the whole thing was used to terrify us into going to war.

[RevCheesehead]

31. It wouldn't surprise me.

But let me put on my hat first, in case Agent Mike is trying to read my thoughts. :tinfoilhat:

Cuddles! :hug:

[Botany]

37. Did I ever tell all of you that you are my Fav?

[bleever]

45. Watch that left hand, Buddy.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

Hi ya, bleev!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

4. Hi Berry!!! Hi Everyone!!!

:hi: Happy Friday!:bounce:

[Berry Cool]

7. Say, kids!!

Because it is Friday, life is better. Even if Keith looks like he's trying to use his outfit to send Morse code.

[GigiMommy]

9. ... - - - ...

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

30. "Eep Opp Ork" means "I Love Berry"

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Hi, Gigi and Cassie!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Hi Gigi!

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

[GigiMommy]

57. Hi SG!!!!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: (Love bounces from Cassie)

[RevCheesehead]

6. Let's hear it for Stately Women everywhere!!

:hi:

Hi, everyone!

[Berry Cool]

11. GIRL!!!!

:hug: :loveya: "Stately"...is that the word???

Yeah, you could call me "stately"...in that I look like a state.

Just kidding.

(Mama's already had a glass of box wine...so she is truly "round at both ends and high in the middle.")

[RevCheesehead]

12. I thought it was politically appropriate.

This after a supper of soup, ribs, fries, and Culver's Custard in a Waffle Cone. They should call that the Brett Favre Special. :9

:hi: :hug: Happy Friday, and Congrats on surviving another week!

[Berry Cool]

17. Thanks. Right now, I feel like Brett Favre.

Only nobody so far has offered me a big heapin' helpin' of money to never work again.

That might be a deal I would take.

Oh, and that dinner sounds incredible. :9

[RevCheesehead]

22. It was.

I'm still picking it out of my teeth. :D

And - you'll always be a winner to me, girl. :hug:

[Berry Cool]

34. Same here, O Cheesy One.

:hug: You're a heart-saver.

I gotta catch you up on stuff.

[RevCheesehead]

41. I'll be home all night.

Perhaps ready for a nap, but still available to my friends. :D=

[Berry Cool]

46. Sadly, I will not be able to call you tonight.

Stupid me left my cell phone on the desk at work. Now I have to go downtown tomorrow just to get back in and pick it up.

I don't have long distance service on my land line. Then again, I do have a phone card...

[GigiMommy]

16. Hi Rev!!!

:hi: I owe you a recipe I hear. My Sweet Potato Gooey is history. They ate it up.

[Berry Cool]

19. It sounds dee-lish.

You must share, GGM.

[RevCheesehead]

25. Patsy was ready to come through the screen into your kitchen.

I woulda clogged up the tubes. (Get it? "tubes"? "taters"?)

[GigiMommy]

28. ....

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

29. You betcha!

It sounded way too good. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

40. REV!!!

Came in late, so trying to catch up with my hello's!

:hi: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

44. Oh yeah?

Well, I :hi:ed you first, and my cat just peed on me. Thanks a lot, CC. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

15. Hi, everyone

Shabbat Shalom y'all!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

18. And a happy Shazzam la'chiam to you!

Forgive my awful goyish spelling. :hi:

[GigiMommy]

20. Hi Sharon!!

:hi: Happy Friday to you!!!

[Berry Cool]

Hi Sha-Sha!!

:hi: Gerald Posner is out-conflicting-patterning Keith. All those stripes!!! My eyes!!!

[SharonRB]

52. And what was up with his hair color?

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

53. It was weird

and difficult to see during the husband dance. :eyes:

[SharonRB]

59. Is he still doing that?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

63. Ants in his pants.

Now he's cooking. For the moment, an unobstructed view -- and chopped steak to follow.

[SharonRB]

67. Funny that the ants only show up when you're trying to watch teevee, though n/t

[Patsy Stone]

68. Maybe it happens all the time

but I only care/notice now? :)

[SharonRB]

51. Hi, Gigi

Same to you!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

23. Howdy!

:toast: TGIF!

[SeattleGirl]

47. Hi Sharon!

Happy Friday to ya!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

49. Same to you, SG

Happy weekend!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

21. Wow! Between Keith and Gerald...

STRIPE OVERLOAD!!!

ed: because I thought that was Evan.

[Berry Cool]

43. Wow. The bug came back on screen after commercials before Keith did.

I was a little worried there for a sec.

Did you all know there's a farmers' market at Rockefeller Plaza every Friday in the summertime? That's what you see all the people outside Keith's window milling around at. That and just hanging around like people do in New York, anyway, I suppose.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Hi Berry! Howdy all!

I've been watching upstairs while I ate dinner, but I'm all done now!

I have been so freakin' pissed off today, between the anthrax story, and the fucking Reich Wing spin trying to make McSame look good, and Obama look bad!

Yes, I know they do that all the time, but it is really pissing me off today! Grr!

Oh, and :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

38. Ms Seattle!!!

I've been missing you lately! :hug:

We're here to make you feel a little bit better, a little more hopeful, and a whole lot hornier. :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

42. Hehehe!

Felling better and more hopeful is good!

I don't need to be any more of the other, though.

:loveya:

[bleever]

32. KO not shying away from the darkest implications

of the anthrax case. Good for him.

Damn these criminals.

[SharonRB]

36. I really don't like Obama's new message about off shore drilling

I think it's too nuanced for most people to understand and it will be totally misinterpreted as him being completely for it.

[RevCheesehead]

48. BULL -SHIT.

Exxon-Mobil doesn't need it. :grr:

[Berry Cool]

50. What exactly is the nuance?

I need to pay more attention.

And adding: Great, you know what will happen now. New McSame ad: "Obama Flip-Flops on Offshore Drilling."

(And yes, I typed this right as Keith was asking Richard Wolffe about it.)

[Berry Cool]

54. OK, I got it figured out.

It doesn't matter how badly things suck with your job situation--you can always find a job at Homeland Security.

[RevCheesehead]

55. I think I'm gonna have to post later tonight.

CC us unbelievable wound up,sasa (see?), knocking things off the desk, laying all over the keyboard, and demanding my full attention.

I'll tr y to check in later. :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

64. Ah, yes...

Cats. :hi:

[Berry Cool]

69. Poor Rev.

The children are acting up.

[Patsy Stone]

74. Jake insists on waking us up

by standing on the dresser and tinkling the crystals on this vintage chandelier thing on the wall. He used to methodically knock every last thing off the top of the dresser and then move to the second tinkling stage, but I put everything in a drawer to clear his path so he can proceed directly to step two.

Molly, on the other hand, prefers walking on the top of the bookcase among the porcelain boxes and animal figurines, then hanging down and knocking things, one by one, off the bookshelves. Also, as a side job, she eats orchids.

:eyes:

[SharonRB]

82. Another reason I don't have cats

In addition to being allergic to them.

[Patsy Stone]

98. I've never had cats like these.

They are on the kitchen counter, in the shower, on the vanity, running into the hallway. Neither Boo, nor Mouse, ever hopped up higher than the couch.

[Berry Cool]

87. Bella's technique is to find something plastic that will make a loud crackling noise

and crackle it like crazy.

She will send me around the bend, if I'm not already there. Which I may well be.

[Patsy Stone]

56. There's always work at the Post Office.

Where will our dear little Monica Goodling end up? Dean of Women at Regent?

[Berry Cool]

58. Hmm. Tim Walberg seems to think there is a real problem with witches in Ann Arbor.

Bot probably agrees, but I doubt Sha-Sha does. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

61. Walberg is out of his mind

But there may be a few witches in Ann Arbor.

[Patsy Stone]

65. One, definitely

:)

[CC]

71. Don't know about witches but they are finding

fairy doors all over the place.:rofl: http://www.urban-fairies.com/




:hi:

[Berry Cool]

66. Hurray, give us this day our daily KOOS!

:loveya: Is Wal-Mart evil??? Need you ask???

[GigiMommy]

60. CASSIE SINGZ..."My birthday's in four daaays!! My birthday's in four daaays!!"

:party: (She'll be 9) Wha' happin' to my Baby!?!

[SharonRB]

62. Happy birthday, Cassie!

:party:

Is her birthday on the 5th? That's a day after Barack's.

[Berry Cool]

Hope Cassie has a great birthday!!

And if Obama's too skinny to be president, let's take him out to eat!

[GigiMommy]

86. Cassie sez..."Very funny Berry!"

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

70. Don't know why that posted twice

but whatever???

[Berry Cool]

75. Keith calls Billo the Clown "Goober."

:rofl: And says Rachel kicked the ass of all his subs!!!

[RevCheesehead]

119. But Billow won the "65 to Dead" group.

I was on the phone, but had to LOL at that! :)

[GigiMommy]

78. CASSIE SEZ..."THAT IS SO COOL!! AWESOME!!!"

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

(Cassie: The "awesome" reminds me of...)

[CC]

72. Happy Birthday early Cassie!!!!

Since I will be in Maui on your birthday.

[SharonRB]

76. Have a great trip, CC

[CC]

81. Thanks! I need the vacation after getting everything ready for

vacation. Found a housesitter or well, really zoo keeper. The bioggest worry taken care of at least.

[Patsy Stone]

77. Mahalo!

:hi:

[CC]

83. Only thing is I am going to miss Keith!!!

Though wondering, if MSNBC is going to show the Olympics are they going to forgo regular programming?

[Patsy Stone]

91. I think the 8 p.m. show airs in the early afternoon there.

So, You may be able to catch it.

I guess it depends on what MSNBC is scheduled to show. With the time difference, I'm wondering when anything is going to air in real time. I think they usually use the cable outlets for the full volleyball games and water polo matches and things like that, so maybe because of the time thing they can play whatever they want when they want to?

Have a great time. Good to hear you got the sitter thing sewn up. That had to be really stressful.

[CC]

107. Like people are going to let me

watch TV in the afternoon. :rofl: I think the marriage would be better if I plan on missing the Keith. He understands but he wouldn't get it if I took it that far. I think Ter is hoping to keep me away from all news. Might as well, all the idiot in charge can do is destroy the world.


Thanks. I am lugging all the camera equipment I can fit in a carry on. Will be back with lots of pics to share.

[GigiMommy]

89. Thank you and have a safe trip!!!

:hi:

[CC]

109. Thanks! And now that Sharon caused me to find the

Fairies of Ann Arbor, you need to show it to Cassie. www.urban-fairies.com

[SeattleGirl]

88. Happy early birthday, Cassie!

106. Happy almost birthday, Cassie!

[GigiMommy]

113. YAY YAY YAY!!! THANK YOU!!!

:applause: (but now sleepy girl needs to go to bed).

[Patsy Stone]

116. And we get to do in all again in four days!

Sweet dreams, young lady. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

73. Rachel kicked ass while KO was on vacay!

Way to go, Rachel.

[SharonRB]

84. "And you need a shrink, lady!"

:rofl:

[Berry Cool]

92. Have fun, CC!

:hi: Aloha...and be there!

LOL, Keith said Grampy would have to be president from bed! Kind of like Perry Como doing his concert from bed on that SCTV sketch!!! :rofl:

Oh, Keith just said he's never been accused of being too skinny. :rofl: You could see him through the window after the show ended, still waving his arm trying to pitch more paper wads. (Remember the nights he used to pitch two or three of them?)

[CC]

111. Thanks Berry.

Have a great weekend and see everyone in a couple weeks. If you do talk to the Rev. send her my love and tell her I said see ya in a couple weeks.

[RevCheesehead]

120. Bye, CC!!!

Try to forget all about everything else but Ter... he'll thank you later. :loveya::hug:

[SharonRB]

90. Is that KO's voiceover on this FLDS program?

On edit:

On second thought, maybe it's Lester Holt. Sometimes he sounds like Keith.

[SeattleGirl]

93. Nope.

Sounds a bit like him, but I don't think it's him.

[SharonRB]

96. Yeah, I edited my post

It might be Lester Holt. Sometimes when I just hear his voice he sounds a lot like Keith.

[SeattleGirl]

100. I think it probably is Lester.

I was thinking John Seigenthaler, but the more I listen, the more I think it's Holt.

[SharonRB]

102. Me, too

I wonder if Wolvie will show up anywhere in this.

[SeattleGirl]

104. I was wondering the same thing.

[Berry Cool]

97. Nah, I believe that is Lester Holt.

Sometimes he sounds frighteningly like Keith. His voice is in that same baritone register.

[SharonRB]

99. Yeah, I already edited my post and said the same thing

That's who it probably is.

[Patsy Stone]

101. For a second, in the beginning, I thought so myself.

Thanks for clarifying.

[SharonRB]

105. They do sound very much the same

Very often if I'm not looking at the teevee and Lester is on, I think it's Keith at first.

[Berry Cool]

122. Same here.

I can't tell you how many times I have pricked up my ears at something happening on MSNBC, thinking I heard Keith's voice, when it was really Lester.

[bleever]

94. Have a great weekend, everyone, and Happy Birthday Cassie!

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

103. Hi

and bye.

:hi: :toast:

[bleever]

112. Shoot,

I thought that was the beginning to a song.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

115. It is, or was...

but then she left. Goodbye...

[GigiMommy]

114. Thanks Bleever!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

108. Well, I'm going to go watch this and see if Wolvie shows up

Have a great weekend, everyone!

[Patsy Stone]

110. You, too!

I haven't been watching it because I just made my way all the way through the thread for the first time. Now, I need to go back and say hi to Seattle Girl and ralps. :)

[rocktivity]

121. Once again Keith, thanks so much for pointing out the obvious

I'm supposed to believe that one guy acting alone just happened to target the left leading media and political figures right after 9/11 with anthrax traced back to Iraq was just one big coincidence?

:headbang:
