KOEB 2/6/08 Wednesday Hangover Edition

[SeattleGirl]

Anyone else feeling hung over from Super Duper Tsunami Tuesday?

[Berry Cool]

1. Hi SG!

:hi: I can't believe it. I was going to post almost the same title!

Definitely would've been a Coke moment!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Ha!

That's how I'm feeling, I tell ya!

:hi:

[ralps]

2. Hi SeattleGirl, Hi Everyone! Yes!

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

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi ralps!

Love the rockin' kitteh!

[WolverineDG]

3. Batten down the hatches, SG!

They're coming your way next week & already bugging us in Texas. We're getting to know what it's like to be an Iowan, but without all the snow! :P

:hi:

dg

[Berry Cool]

6. Barack and Hillary:

"I won!"

"No, I WON!"

[SeattleGirl]

9. LOL!

:spray:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Yep. I'm aucusing on Saturday!!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

10. Same here.

Imagine, people caring about how Ohio votes. :-)

[WolverineDG]

12. I love how the usual Texas bashers on DU

are having to suck up to us now. heh heh heh

:evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

15. I am strong. I am invincible. I am Buckeye.

And none of their stupid petty arguments will influence my vote one jot. :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

17. What? You mean you're not succumbing to their emotional blackmail?

Good. Me either. Let the lil DUDQs turn blue in the face & stomp their little feel all they want.

:rofl:

dg

[Berry Cool]

37. They are that, aren't they?

Sorry, but I refuse to believe that the world will end if either Hillary or Barack gets the nomination. I may prefer one, but whichever one gets the nom is getting my vote and I'm still going to be happier about it than I would be about voting for ANY of the Republicans.

Too bad, children.

[SeattleGirl]

39. I wish more people had that attidute, Berry.

I mean, good grief! What are the supporters of one candidate going to do if the other gets the nom? Stamp their feet and stay home on election day?

[SharonRB]

40. Same here, Berry.

[Patsy Stone]

95. You

will be pelted with rocks and garbage in GDP with that attitude, missy. Just watch yourself.

[Greylyn58]

8. Howdy All

Hope everyone is well.

:hi: SG and :hi: to my fellow KOEBers!!! :grouphug:

[SeattleGirl]

11. Howdy Grey! Woofie Sheridan!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

13. Hi and woofs to ralps, Wolfie, Grey and Sher.

Welcome to our refuge against the Keith-haters in GD-P.

I gotta start methodically putting people on ignore. I don't like to do it because I like to think I'm a bigger person than having to avert my eyes from things I don't like to see, but enough is enough.

[Greylyn58]

24. I was going to mention that

What was that all about? All the crazy Keith bashing that was going on last night. I couldn't get over all the freakin nastiness.

[SeattleGirl]

29. I had to add more people to my ignore list.

The fanatics for Obama and Clinton (and not ALL their supporters are fanatics) are totally blind to anything that might show that their candidate is not perfect. :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

45. They also interpret everything through their hating-the-opposition lens.

So when Keith called Alaska for Obama late last night and mistakenly said it had more delegates than it actually does, probably because he was TIRED AS HELL, some of them interpreted it as Keith's desperate attempt to claim a "big win" for his favorite. "Oh yeah, Alaska, Keith! THAT's a big state to win! Barack sure got that all-important Eskimo vote! Could Keith possibly be more pathetic?"

[SeattleGirl]

49. Most of the time, crap like that doesn't even deserve a response.

However, there are times when I get absolutely fed up with it, gob smack the person, and then add them to my ignore list.

[Berry Cool]

66. Keith is their hero, until...

he says something sounding positive about the candidate they hate, or negative about the one they support.

Then he's just another untrustable media shill whore whose biases are all too obvious.

Oh, and they don't think it's possible for him to ever play devil's advocate and ask questions just because he's trying to draw out some information or enlighten his audience. They think every question he asks is a reflection of his personal opinion. So when he asks a question and they don't like the tenor, they turn off the TV and swear never to watch his show again.

Petty asswipes.

[Greylyn58]

96. Totally agree Berry

That entire area is so toxic right now that since Edwards suspended his campaign, I've been staying out GD-P.

I've never heard Keith raked over the coals like he was last night. The way they were talking about him you would have thought he had killed someone.

[Patsy Stone]

[Patsy Stone]

72. Yep

I ban extremists of all kinds. That's why it was so much fun to sort by author; like shooting fish in a barrel.

[ralps]

65. Hi BerryBush! I usually just post here, in the pets group & in the nightly Malloy

thread! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[bleever]

14. And, Joe Lieberman no longer a superdelegate.

That's what happens when you endorse a Republican.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4445131

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

16. Hard to believe he ever ran with Gore, isn't it?

Oh boy, Jonathan Alter's giving us KOOS. Thanks, Jon! :loveya:

He says "There won't be an Obama-Clinton ticket...Hillary has already been vice president!" :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

20. Bad ratings news for Billo?

Pity.

Bwahahahahahahaha.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hi bleev!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

19. Hooray!

As Winston Churchill said upon learning Italy joined the Axis: Well, we had to have them on OUR side in WWI. Now it's Germany's turn....

:hi:

dg

[bleever]

56. LOL.

:hi:

[Botany]

27. and Obama had the Grateful Dead play for him

4 hours :bounce:

Last Song U.S. Blues!

BTW nice ballots in California .... did Ken Blackwell come out and help you guys?

[bleever]

54. Wasn't that awesome?

I'm guessing they're going to do that again, seeing how much fun they had and how great the music was.

Mark Karan, post-cancer treatment, roaring back into form.


I saw the story about those ballots. Idiotic. Fortunately not the kind I used.

[Berry Cool]

58. Hey bleev!

:hi: Glad to see ya.

[bleever]

61. Did your find out what

your building's new "amenity" is yet?

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

89. Nope.

Wonder if I ever will.

[Botany]

71. I doubt they will do it again too often

Bob Weir looked really old .... "What a long strange trip it has been."





The ballots struck me as accidentally on purpose .... nice way to "filter out"
the rift raft.

[bleever]

79. Who is the Civil War general

in the picture under Bobby's?

:rofl:

Bob's actually pretty healthy and having good tours with RatDog. But how much of Phil can he take?


Ballots: make sure the independents who go Dem don't count. Look for more in November.

[Botany]

94. Oh well it was Phil that put together the concert for Obama

And yes "Ballots: make sure the independents who go Dem don't count."

So if somebody doesn't do something they don't know to do the vote will
not count ..... no plan there.


Everybodys dancin down the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery.
The temperature keeps risin, everybody gittin high;
Come the rockin stroke of midnite, the whole place gonna fly.

Uhuh, hey! saturday night!
Yeh, uhuh one more saturday night,
Hey saturday night!

Turn on channel six, the president comes on the news,
Says, I get no satisfaction, thats why I sing the blues.
His wife say dont get crazy, lord, you know just what to do,
Crank up that old victrola, put on them rockin shoes.

Uhuh, hey! saturday night!
Yeh, uhuh one more saturday night,
Hey saturday night!

[SeattleGirl]

21. Arrrgh!!!! First time I EVER start a KOEB thread, and I get kicked off

the internets!!!

[SharonRB]

26. We had trouble with the Toobz at work today

What a pain!

[SeattleGirl]

31. This happens to me every couple of days.

So frustrating!

[Botany]

22. Well it looks real bad for Hillary

Obama is gonna win the next 6 states (Louisiana, Washington, & Nebraska ... Caucuses)
and MD, VA, and D.C..

He is pulling in big cash

Hillary had to loan her campaign her money $5 million

Obama pulled 40% of the delegates from N.Y. too.


Barack -O- mentum.

[SharonRB]

23. Hi, everyone

I've been here, but I've been multi-tasking.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

28. Hi, SG

:hi:

[Botany]

32. How is your mom?

Are you taking care of yourself too?



I know you like cosmos .... :rofl:

[SharonRB]

36. LOL

I'm trying, but I've got a bad cough. Mom's still the same. We're just watching and waiting.

[Botany]

41. Owww!

Well I hope you get some time for yourself and things work out as they
will in the long run.



This will help your cough.

[SharonRB]

43. Thanks!

I'm sure that will help.

[Berry Cool]

70. *cough* *cough*

I think I feel a cough coming on...

[RavensChick]

30. And now we can breathe easy until next week!

Hi, SG! Hi, everyone!!

[SeattleGirl]

33. I can only breathe easy until Saturday, when I go to my caucus.

I'm pretty excited about it, though.

[SharonRB]

34. Less than four hours to go in the DFA contest

Last chance to vote!

I'm going nuts here -- they haven't been showing the standings and we're totally in the dark on how Nancy is doing. I think we've touched all of our bases, but this is torture.

[SeattleGirl]

35. That sucks!

They should be showing it!

[SharonRB]

38. I know

I'm just praying those two guys from NC didn't pull any rabbits out of their hats. We're counting on them to split the vote and for the fact that Nancy is the only woman to help her.

[Patsy Stone]

64. Randi mentioned the DFA voting yesterday.

She said she wanted everyone to cast two votes that day, one in the primary and one for Nancy Skinner on DFA.

:thumbsup:

[SharonRB]

67. I know -- SG sent me a PM to let me know

and I listened to it from iTunes. I didn't hear the show live after the first hour -- I was at the hospital.

[RavensChick]

73. They will.

Just keep cross the fingers.

[Berry Cool]

50. Welcome to RavensChick, Sha-Sha, Bot and anyone else I forget.

:hi: "Tie Your Mother Down"...that's a good one. :rofl:

Here's hoping Nancy wins.

[SharonRB]

57. Thanks, Berry

[RavensChick]

81. Hi, Berry!

Sorry my responses have been slow but my computer's running a virus check. I hate it when that happens!

[WolverineDG]

42. Speaking of last night

after my computer froze on me :grr:, I distinctly heard a Tweety-like voice saying "Oh shit." :rofl:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

46. HA!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

44. Hey, SG!

I'm not hungover, because I knew it would be a tie, and I went to be early. :)

[SeattleGirl]

47. Hi Patsy!

I should have done the same thing! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

52. I needed the rest.

I'm cleaning my house this evening due cousin's impending visit. Just did the bathtub. Wheeeee! :eyes:

[SharonRB]

48. I took some Nyquil and got into bed to wait for the CA results

I dozed on and off until I knew HRC had won there. I was disappointed about that, but overall I was pretty happy with how well Barack did.

[SeattleGirl]

51. Yeah, he did well overall, that's for sure.

[Patsy Stone]

55. Me too

and the statistics are amazing overall. The turnout, the close popular vote, everything.

It's great to be a Dem this week. :)

[SeattleGirl]

59. I'm wondering how big my caucus is going to be this Saturday.

They've already changed the location, so I'm wondering if they thought they needed more room.

[Patsy Stone]

68. I'll bet they do

This is going to be fun. Have a blast! And remember, be a good girl and try not to fight with the Hillary kids, 'k? :)

[SeattleGirl]

75. Okay, I promise!

:evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

86. Read up on your caucus rules

I heard some guy on the radio yesterday telling Ed Schultz (I think) about the troubles the Clinton folks gave him (basically that the only signs he could put up were Clinton signs, that he had to close the doors at 11:30, & bull shit like that--all he did was wave the rule book at them & say "no, this is the DEMOCRATIC caucus & the rules say X--like the doors were supposed to be closed at noon). Word to the wise.

dg

[Patsy Stone]

90. I heard that guy

:hi:

That was bad. Good advice here, SG!

[SharonRB]

60. I heard Sebelius on Ed's show today

and she said they had 1700 people turn out for their last caucuses and 37,000 this time. (Could she have said 17,000, not 1700?)

[SeattleGirl]

62. I heard that too, Sharon

I wouldn't be surprised if it was 1700 last time; I've been hearing about enormous jumps in numbers from '04 to this year.

[SharonRB]

69. I swear that's what she said

but when I thought about it later, I thought maybe I was wrong. That's a HUGH!!!!!! jump.

[Botany]

53. Handcuffs????????????????

Is a certain EDV in England?

:rofl:

Has anybody seen Crispin ..... does she have family in the U.K.?

[Berry Cool]

63. But they weren't fuzzy and pink.

Do you think Keith is among the folks who loves watching the Repugs set each other on fire and is bringing marshmallows?



Naah. :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

82. Keith did a great WPITW tonight!

I was wondering if he'd ever get done raking "Sparky" over the coals, but he finally did.

What do you want to bet the Olbermann Watch and News Busters asses come up with a new headline re Mary Matalin: "KEITH OLBERMANN SHOWS HIS TRUE BIGOTRY AS HE DERIDES MITT ROMNEY FOR BEING 'DESCENDED FROM POLYGAMOUS MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS'"? Missing the whole point once again...

And his point about torture? It's a wonder more people don't make it, and get it...

[Patsy Stone]

87. "Let's say you're living '24'..."

:rofl:

[GigiMommy]

74. Wow, just in time for WPITW! Hi All!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

76. Hi, Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

83. Hi Sharon!!

Were you out in this messy weather today? How's your Mom doing?

[SharonRB]

88. I left work early to go to the hospital

It was freezing rain then, but by the time I got into the hospital it had started to snow. It was coming down pretty hard when I came home around 5, but I didn't have too far to drive from Providence to home, so it wasn't too bad. She's doing about the same.

[GigiMommy]

93. I wish you, your Mom and your family

peace. I know it's hard.:hug:

[SharonRB]

98. Thanks, Gigi

Hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life.

[SeattleGirl]

77. Hi Gigi!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

84. Hi SG!!!

How are you!

[Berry Cool]

92. Hi, GiGiM.

:hi: You just caught the tail-end of Keith...so to speak. :evilgrin:

[GigiMommy]

97. Hi Berry!

Heard the weather was YUCKY in Ohio today (flooding and such). Stay dry!!! :hi:

[ralps]

78. Today's worst person in the world is WH Spokesperson Tony Frato(sp?)

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

[SeattleGirl]

80. Okay kiddo's. I have to take off now.

Carry on, and be nice. :7

[Patsy Stone]

85. See ya!

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

91. Bye SG!! Bye!!!

Take care.:hi:
