6. Hi, Spark

I guess it's just you and me so far. How about a cosmo?

[sparky_in_ma]

16. It's not a "real" KO thread without the pic

and the floaties. GD isn't the "one"

A federal judge who was once the target of a failed murder plot by a white supremacist found two bodies in a pool of blood in her basement, and a source said the victims were her husband and her mother. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7048415/

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Constitution forbids the execution of killers who were under 18 when they committed their crimes, ending a practice used in 19 states. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7051296/

Airline passengers will no longer be allowed to bring cigarette lighters on board commercial airplanes beginning April 14, ending a security loophole that lawmakers said could be exploited by terrorists seeking to light explosives in the cabin. But the Transportation Security Administration acknowledged yesterday that another loophole remains: Passengers may currently bring up to four books of matches aboard an aircraft.

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

Finally, A man caught by police last summer on his 23rd birthday running naked and covered in nacho cheese pleaded guilty Monday to burglary and four other charges. Michael David Monn of Maryville appeared before Blount County Circuit Court Judge D. Kelly Thomas and pleaded guilty to burglary, theft, vandalism, indecent exposure and public intoxication. In a plea bargain with prosecutors, Monn was sentenced to three years in prison but was given supervised probation. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NUDE_NACHOS?SITE=NWCN&TEMPLATE=STRANGEHEADS.html&SECTION=HOME
He was also ordered to never -- NEVER -- wear cheese again.

They've got a thread going on over there:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3199240

Oh yeah... let's not forget the :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Edited to add: Hi Sparky, Patsy, Clark2008! :hi:

[SharonRB]

13. Hi, Green

:hi:

[SharonRB]

22. Doesn't look like an official thread.

[greenmutha]

35. Sure doesn't... I figgered they were missin' the KOEB over there

and were trying to lure innocents by pretending!

[sparky_in_ma]

36. Hi green

I'm still looking at the pic you shared the other nite. "sigh":evilgrin:

[greenmutha]

61. Hi sparky!

Was that the valentine kiss pic or the drunk chicks pic? (Only one of them is me... guess which one?) :silly:

[sparky_in_ma]

70. I loved the the valentine kiss

it was so perfect.:loveya:

[greenmutha]

78. :-)

<blushing> Thank you... :hug: :loveya: too!

[Patsy Stone]

39. Hey, green

I also noticed the "afternoon" newsletter thread today. :)

[greenmutha]

75. Yup... the KOEB is infecting everyone!

And that's what I call a good thing! (With apologies to Martha.)

SPREAD THE LOVE! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

86. I think we' d be open to welcoming Martha, too.

And she could probably use some TLC, too. :loveya:

How are ya, greenmutha?

[greenmutha]

100. She seems like she'd appreciate a good snark!

Evenin' Ms. Cheese... I'm doing okay. Had some bad news this week and just trying to take it day by day for now.

<insert sound of Joey here> How U doin'? :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

119. Is everything ok?

You know we love ya here, and will bathe you in snark and :loveya:

I'm still a little dizzy - and scrolling this list is making me woozy!

[greenmutha]

162. I'm okay... it's my SO's 20 year old son.

Diagnosed with cancer - leukemia (ALL). He's in the hospital and has just started chemo. We are on opposite ends of Utah (we're north, he's south). My SO is freaking out, trying to get out of work to go see him. I think we'll be leaving Friday morning for a few days. It's sad...

[sparky_in_ma]

167. .....

Prayers for him, greenmutha:hug:

[greenmutha]

175. Thank you, sparky.

:hug:

[seito]

169. Sorry to hear that, how awful

:hug:

[greenmutha]

177. Thanks, seito.

:hug: back!

[RevCheesehead]

174. and he's so young.

That's really sad.

Take one of these for you: :hug:
And know you're surrounded with love and prayers. :grouphug:

[greenmutha]

180. Yes... I feel the love here. Thank you all so much.

:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

[bleever]

193. Sending him some white light, greenie.

Visualizing health and well-being for him.

:pals:

[greenmutha]

213. Thanks, Bleev. I've been doing the same.

The docs say it didn't spread into his brain or spinal cord, so that is indeed a blessing.

I want to take him Louise Hays (Hayes?) book "You Can Heal Your Life" because I firmly believe in what she says, but this kid will probably think I'm just nuts.

[Clark2008]

225. Oh, Green

I hope you and yours stay healthy and safe!

:hug:

[Catchawave]

235. Sending positive thoughts and

{{{hugs}}} There's much being done for these youngsters stricken so early in life. Keep the faith that he's part of the miracles!

:pals:

[WhirlyGirl]

250. Sorry to hear about the young man's illness, greenie.

(Finally reading the whole thread at 3a.m. and saw this)

Your SO is so lucky to have someone like you to provide comfort and support at a time like this. I don't know what else to say except I will pray to God to strengthen you all, to get you through the difficult times ahead. You've got a warm circle here, greenie.

Love,
WhirlyG

[Patsy Stone]

102. Damn those activist judges!

Oh, that priceless KO. Bok Bok the goat?

Yes, spread the KO love... :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[livvy]

5. Hi SharonRB

Love it, Rummy getting sued!

:loveya: :loveya:

[SharonRB]

17. Hey, neighbor

Nice to see you here. :hi:

And :hi: to everyone else who just signed on - I'm losing track!

[seito]

7. Greetings and Salutations

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Isn't always the same profile?

It's just as if all neighbors of serial killers received the same speech to read: "He was such a quiet man."

:loveya: KO

[Shopaholic]

19. We had one in my home state--who used to drive a hearse around town

No one was surprised when he turned out to be a serial killer.

[SharonRB]

That's pretty scary.

[sparky_in_ma]

51. Hi shopaholic

Didn't see you come in, may I buy you one?:toast:

[Shopaholic]

55. Cranberry juice on the rocks please.

At the risk of sharing TMI,let's just say that I am popping antibiotics and drinking cranberry juice like crazy.

[sparky_in_ma]

67. : (

That was me last week. Hope you get better quick.:hug:

[Shopaholic]

85. Me too--

This just sucks.

[Patsy Stone]

56. How couldja be?

Did you have a chance to get over to that thread and see the proposal?

How are you? :hi:

You-know-who looks very handsome this evening. :loveya:

[sparky_in_ma]

23. I told my friends

if I should ever "slip", and they're interviewed, to say they always figured I was crazy. Just to be different.

[seito]

I never did trust that sparky character

He was much too interested in suspenders. :silly:

[sparky_in_ma]

42. That's what I'm talkin about

:thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

40. LOL

Whereas, if they were to ask US, we could assure them that you ARE crazy.

Hi, Doc, how are ya? :loveya: :hi:

[sparky_in_ma]

46. Hi Rev

The doctor is in.:smoke:

[RevCheesehead]

68. Evenin', Sparks.

Are ya offering liquid refreshment tonight? O8)

[sparky_in_ma]

76. : )

but of course.

[Patsy Stone]

81. LOL... Right?

ALWAYS! You can spot 'em a mile away. Hi, sparky. :)

[sparky_in_ma]

90. Hi Patsy

:toast:

[Clark2008]

25. He was just a "mainstream, local guy. A registered Republican..."

I guess we can stop calling Republicans mainstream, now. LOL!

Or, wait, Bush seems to be around a lot when lots of people are killed. :eyes:

Ewwww... that was evil of me! :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

33. Hiya Clark.

How's it goin' this evening? :hi:

:loveya: He's lookin' yummy. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi, Sharon!

Good Evening, everyone! :hi:

[seito]

21. Hiya Rev

I do like the orange tie :)

Weren't you pulling for orange, back in the day :)

[RevCheesehead]

29. ssshhhh...

we don't speak of those things anymore, since we are lovingly united in our blue-stripey wonderland which is Keith: :loveya::loveya::loveya:

How are ya, WP? :hi:

[seito]

44. Just stirrin the...

I am doing grrrreat. With any luck we won't have any flurries tomorrow. I have not been able to work since last Wednesday.

Oh no, it's .... SNOW.

[RevCheesehead]

79. Guess what?

I saw the SUN today!!! It's still there!

[Clark2008]

43. I was the orange tie proponent. I'm sure I had some supporters, but

I really liked the orange. :)

[WhirlyGirl]

133. This is my favorite tie, too, seito!

[WhirlyGirl]

11. Hi, Sharon, Sparky, Patsy and others currently arriving!!!

This is a drive-by hi. :hi:

We just got a PIZZA!

Be back soon.

[Shopaholic]

15. Two thoughts--

1-why is he in NYC tonight

and

2-does he looked damn fine tonight or what????

[RevCheesehead]

20. We've been dissed by pizza??

what's that all about?!?

[WhirlyGirl]

123. Rev, as my Spiritual Advisor...

... you should be aware of pizza's importance to inner peace. O8)

Mmmmmmmmmm... mozzerella!

-----------
<< We've been dissed by pizza??
what's that all about?!? >> RevChe

[sparky_in_ma]

126. But a drive-by?

:-( (love ya anyway):hug:

[WhirlyGirl]

151. Can't figure out...

... what I did. Perhaps the word offended. :shrug:
It was a reference to something somebody said the other night when I hadda get off so my husband could work. They called it a drive-by.

Just wanted to let you know the broadband was back working, but supper was waiting. I apologize if it went down the wrong way.

---------
<< But a drive-by? (love ya anyway):hug: >> Sparky

[sparky_in_ma]

157. LOL

Just kidding. (what type of pizza?)

[WhirlyGirl]

251. Pep, Mush, Blk Olv, Onion, Xtra sauce....

... & Riunite Bianco.

[RevCheesehead]

138. yes, like manna from heaven.

But unlike manna, you do not have to eat it all at one sitting. There is nothing finer than cold pizza the next day.

[WhirlyGirl]

170. I'm trying to calculate how long it would take my husband to call...

... the men with the butterfly nets, if I sat up here and blogged Countdown while the pizza slowly congealed downstairs!

---------
<< But unlike manna, you do not have to eat it all at one sitting. There is nothing finer than cold pizza the next day. >> RevChe

[livvy]

18. KO is looking pretty dapper tonight.

Nice color contrasts!
:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[seito]

24. Yes, quite dapper

:loveya:

Hi livvy :hi:

[SharonRB]

26. Yes, I always like the black suit and I especially

like the orange tie!

[Clark2008]

30. He looks wondermous!

That dark suit makes his eyes stand out!

[Catchawave]

239. Wondermous.....kewl....

I love it, we must add it to the FAQ's under "Appropriate Adjectives Describing Boy Wonder".....LOL.

I'm a dark suit fan too, but I call it Superlicious-delecti
:silly:

[Clark2008]

246. We Southerners are very descriptive

I once said that Wes Clark was "Yum on a Stick." That got some "OMGs" from the Northern women in the group. :)

LOL!

[Patsy Stone]

27. BTK Strangler

Robert Beattie: writing a book on the BTK strangler, "Nightmare in Witchita"

KO: Did the investigators mess this up?
RB: No colossal errors. But they didn't put it together until the killer himself sent a letter that pieced it all together?

Why do people have such a difficult time putting the pieces together?
"And, Dr. Rice, do you recall the name of that August 6th PDB?"


Ah, registered Repug, Dog Catcher and former security guard. This guy has some sort of looney target on his head, how could anyone miss this guy? :)

[bleever]

31. Hi there! What's all this I hear about a cereal killer?

Oh...never mind.

:)

And please, make Michael Jackson go away.

[greenmutha]

47. Oh No! Not Snap, Crackle & Pop...

Damn that Count Chocula!

[Clark2008]

57. Well, if it tuns out it was Snap, Crackle & Pop, they are juveniles

and won't face the death penalty.

:)

[Clark2008]

49. They arrested Captian Crunch today ... the trace pointed to that sugary

crunch.
Now, the citizen of Kelloggs owe Count Chocula an apology: everyone was SURE it was him!

[bleever]

60. I'm a little leery of the scarf-wearing tiger that hangs around kids.

You can't be too careful these days.

:scared:

[RevCheesehead]

54. I think it was Mikey.

He does everything. :hi:

[greenmutha]

118. ROFLOL! Oh. My. Gawd. You have no idea what you just did to me.

Now I have to clean off my keyboard. :spank:

It's a long story I'll hafta tell ya some other time. Suffice it to say: It was an inside joke. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it! :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

129. (huh? me, again?)

O8)

[seito]

64. Hey Bleev

Did you see our ole friend Kathy B is up to new tricks?

[bleever]

103. I just got, and saw the headline, but haven't read about it yet.

I hope it's gooooood. The more he does, the bigger the trouble he gets in.

:hi:

[yvr girl]

32. Hi all!

How is everyone tonight?

[sparky_in_ma]

59. Hi yvr girl

:toast:

[yvr girl]

65. I don't know if I'm speaking to you

Kick my tires, indeed.

[sparky_in_ma]

87. LMAO

But dear, I was only trying to keep from saying things that would get the thread locked.O8) You know I'll respect you in the morning.

[yvr girl]

105. But how can I be sure that you'll propose

I'm a nice girl, afterall.

[sparky_in_ma]

115. Of course you are

I wouldn't talk to just anyone. Hmmmm....I'm trying to think of a way I could prove my sincerity. Would you belive me if I said the check was in the mail?

[yvr girl]

121. So now you're offering me money

The nerve...hrmph

[sparky_in_ma]

132. But it was offered

tastefully. As a token payment for the joy you bring to me. I could never afford to purchase your charms. Bill Gates himself doesn't have enough money.:*

[yvr girl]

143. But cash is so crass

ladies are persuaded by jewelry!

[sparky_in_ma]

149. True

I was only sending the check so you could buy some jewelry, I didn't want the jewelry to get lost or damaged in transit.O8)

[yvr girl]

154. It means more if you pick it out for me.

[sparky_in_ma]

173. My mistake

it was thoughtless of me.:-( (can't you tell I was married once.);-)

[yvr girl]

196. Shouldn't you be trained then?

[sparky_in_ma]

201. Pretty much

but it has been a long time since the divorce, so I'm a little rusty.

[yvr girl]

209. I'm sure it's like riding a bike

[SharonRB]

155. Maybe you two should get a room. LOL

[sparky_in_ma]

163. Busted! : )

:D

[WhirlyGirl]

252. (cackle!) It's 3:30 am and I'm really enjoying this...

[SharonRB]

41. LOL -- CSI: Neverland n/t

[Shopaholic]

50. In your spare time--how about go to TV Newser.com

and give that little twerp some shit about allowing an unnamed "TV Insider (read someone from Faux) to snark on KO yet again? tvnewser.com. I've already fired off my snarky comment to him. Funny he never seems to allow anyone to make snarky remarks about his beloved Faux.

[Clark2008]

91. Who is this little shit, anyway?

I think I'll tell him my cousin is a TV insider (well, he gets in 'em when he repairs 'em) and he said KO would beat the pants of O'Reilly is more people knew about him - and had access to MSNBC.

[livvy]

52. That poor woman.

Can you imagine finding that scene? You'd never get over it.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[bleever]

53. Again with the Illinois Nazis.

Where are the Blues Brothers when you need them?

[Patsy Stone]

66. Man,

I hate f'n Illinois Nazis. :hi:

[Shopaholic]

72. And the KO Hate Site--

olbermannwatch.com has links up to our tie thread discussion (when we were picking out the tie) and he calls us twisted and warped loons.

He also has links up the TV Without Pity Countdown discussion thread and the two QuickTopic discussion threads devoted to KO. I just hope this little twerp was reading over the weekend on QT when we were discussing KO's BOHD--and were posting links to the proof. :evilgrin:

[seito]

83. Twisted and warped loons

Was there an insult in there somewhere? :silly:

[bleever]

112. LOL. Can't even insult us properly!

I think you've got a smilie for these guys...

;)

[Patsy Stone]

117. Pretty much

for every occasion. That's only one reason she's so cool.

[seito]

141. And all this time I thought it was my charm and personality

:D

[Patsy Stone]

153. And your sharp wit

and thoughtful insights and your faith. :)

[seito]

212. Did I just go fishin for compliments?

Thanks :)

Right back atcha Patsy. You all kept me sane after this election. I mean it. :grouphug:

[Patsy Stone]

218. Awww...

:grouphug:

[seito]

134. Let me check my files

[bleever]

142. ROFLMAO. WP, you've outdone yourself once again.

:7

[bunny planet]

You are awesome Seito!

Just checking in , and as usual you are spot on with your smilies.

Isn't it unbelievable to be called 'warped and twisted' for picking out ties! I think these smilies need the theme from 'Deliverance' playing in the background and they will be perfect.

[Clark2008]

101. Posting links to what?

I don't remember what BOHD stands for. I've slept since then.

[Shopaholic]

124. I don't think I can say what BOHD stand for

and not get slapped by Skinner for saying it--but it was a discussion topic this weekend on the QuickTopics KO boards. Photographic evidence here:

http://olbermann.org/ko/photo_detail.cfm?photos_id=57

And let's just say that there was a reason why the webmistress entitled that photo "Living LARGE".

[bettyellen]

211. BOHD??? WTF? i feel so stupid!

[Shopaholic]

217. Check out the photo link--you'll figure it out--

also--note the title of the photo at that link. Here-I'll give you the first couple of words to help you figure it out (and to save Skinner from skinning my hide): Big Ole' Horse D. . .

And God forbid my poor mother see this and have any idea what her daughter just posted in a public forum. :evilgrin:

Or for having impure thoughts about KO for that matter :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

224. I believe those kind of thoughts

are a requirement for the KOEB.

Tell her The Rev. said so. O8)

[bettyellen]

226. omigod, yet another way he is like my........

dad. i know people are gonna think it's weird, but when seven people share a one bedroom apt, you see things. a lot of things. and it all seems normal and uhm, average till ya grow up and find out, no it's a lot more than average. lol. :shrug:

[Shopaholic]

231. I like a

BOHD myself. Did I just say that????? I'll be over here in a corner blushing. And lusting--so much lusting. . . :evilgrin:

[flyarm]

223. hi shopaholic....

they are just jealous !! they have no one so cute to look at that has brains and not afraid to use them..think about it..they have o'liellee

and his hairy butt stories...ok lurkers..tell us all aobut o'kinky??

71. hi all! nice to see you again sharon sparky seito, shopaholic.......

i'm just doing the s's this post!
yall know i love you! patsy crispi rev and gk, and amy and yver.. i'll stop now.
srem cells rock- i would love the minute it finds a big cure like diabetes, all these moralising idiots will get selfish enough to back down and let their relatives be cured.
they should just refuse the meds that come down the pike, but they won't! ha!

[Shopaholic]

77. My cousin died two years ago from diabetes complications.

I'd give anything to have her back. She was 49 when she died. And these asshats don't believe in doing something that would save so many and improve the lives of countless people in this country and all over the world? Compassionate conservatives my ass.

[sparky_in_ma]

144. I'm sorry to hear that.

My uncle and cousin died of it. He never had that much time. If there's a chance at a cure, and it doesn't hurt a thing, why not give it a try.:mad:

[SharonRB]

84. This would be so wonderful

If they can actually cure diabetes. I wonder how long it will take them to get anything on the market -- probably years, the way the FDA moves.

[Patsy Stone]

92. Hi, bettyellen

[Patsy Stone]

96. Does he keep telling us he's in New York

because it snowed too much for him to get to New Jersey? Even so, why does he have to keep saying it?

[Clark2008]

116. The set's different. I think he's at 30 Rock and not Secacus.

Must be the snow.

[Patsy Stone]

108. There's a really annoying car alarm going off outside. n/t

[Clark2008]

109. No, Keith, dear, the "Bush Doctrine" is not working

My Lebanese friends tell me the riots are as a result of the assassination of their former prime minister and they are BLAMING BUSH and Israel. They are NOT happy and are NOT trying for any sort of "democracy," they are pissed. Period.

How can the media be spinning this any other way? I just don't understand. I'm sure Keith will ask the pertinent questions, but I'm talking about the rest of the whores out there in MSM land.

[Clark2008]

128. Oh, here we go with Part III of PNAC

I don't believe anything Condi Rice says.

I'm sorry - this segment is bullshit. How come I know this - and I'm just a little peon in Knoxville (I have also been right, all along, about Iraq) and these idiots who think they know something more don't?

Again, I point out - the Lebanese are PISSED at BUSH and ISRAEL because they think they took down their leader. It has less to do with Bush Doctrine. Keith got it right in his intro before this so-called media expert came on.

Not three, three is too few. Not five, for five is one too many. Six is right out... With apologies to Monty Python. :)

178. Four is the PERFECT number

when it comes to matches. One for each pocket, provided you wear clothing with four pockets.

This Group is to help to promote the formation of an activist community around the support of the last consistently truthful TV journalist. Basically the Group will be intended to complement and extend the nightly KOEB liveblog thread. It's not JUST about Keith Olbermann, as we also cover territory he doesn't. He's the core theme, but a fully-formed community may be able to address some progressive issues even beyond what Keith says and does.

More specifically, the mission of the Countdown/Keith Olbermann Group is to:

1) Discuss the newsletter, upcoming topics and guests.
2) Promote stories in DU Forums where applicable.
3) Link to, and discussion of, KO's latest blog.
4) Discuss and plan action strategies on Countdown/blog topics where appropriate.
5) Discuss plan of countering false impressions and anti-Olbermann web sites.
6) Discuss and promote appearances by Keith Olbermann.
7) Discuss Countdown ratings and show ideas.
8) Work on NewsQuiz questions.
9) Raise awareness of Countdown among those outside of DU.
10) Gently encourage the correct spelling of Olbermann.

On the lighter side, this Group will also serve as the best basement Rec Room ever, where these activities are smiled upon:

1) Create a KOEB FAQ
2) Post pictures of KO.
3) Show appreciation with floaty hearts for the best Corporate Media news guy out there whenever.
4) Buy him nice ties and gifts for all important occasions.
5) Discuss our big ol' crush on his snarkiness.
6) Hang out after business hours.
7) Music, poetry, artwork and games -- and NO Fan Fiction EVER!
8) Archives of the poetry, artwork and other aesthetic endeavors.
9) Post Yiddish slang whenever possible.

243. Anyone of you keefers have the transcript of the email that

Gannon sent Keef last week? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Catchawave]

244. Whoosh....what?

You may want to contact the Keefer staff at:

[e-mail]

[Clark2008]

247. It wasn't an e-mail. It was a message, but here:

“I left you a message while Monday‘s show aired,” he e-mailed one of our staffers. “I don‘t know how Keith would think that I would ever come on his show considering how he has dealt with this story thus far. I did appreciate the replay of some of my questions, however. If there were any conservatives watching I‘m sure they were cheered that someone would ask those kind of questions. Take a look at the red/blue county map from the 2004 election for a clue. Best to you, Jeff.”

245. Keefie getting some "props" again on Gannon coverage!

And they list him as acerbic - so he's sharp and bitter tasting? LOL! (I know, I know, it has two meanings. I'm just liking how the word can be also used to describe "taste." ;) )

Anywho!

http://www.decaturdailydemocrat.com/articles/2005/03/01/news/opinion/editorial02.txt

Citizens, it's finally happened. An alleged former male prostitute has been unmasked among the White House press corps.

If this comes as a surprise, don't blame liberal media bias. For once, there's a Washington sex scandal our fastidious "mainstream" press mostly wishes to avoid.

Why? Good question. By day, "Jeff Gannon" posed as White House correspondent for a fictitious news organization called Talon News, an Internet site that is a subsidiary of GOPUSA.com. That's a Texas-based Web site bankrolled by one Bobby Eberle, an activist now depicted as virtually unknown in Texas GOP circles, even though he was a Bush delegate to the 2000 Republican National Convention.

"Gannon" was granted day passes to White House press briefings and news conferences, where he routinely lobbed softball questions to press secretary Scott McClellan.

MSNBC's acerbic news anchor, Keith Olbermann, almost alone among TV journalists in giving the story the coverage it deserves, has aired hilarious pastiches of "Gannon's" servile questioning of McClellan on his "Countdown" program.

[WhirlyGirl]
