Keith at dKos: Ventura Low Way

[Patsy Stone]

Hi! I just saw this over there. He posted last night, from his dad's room, and was still up and posting and chatting after midnight. Lots of Ashleigh Banfield talk, and even Cenk showed up in the thread to talk to him.

Ventura Low Way

With apologies to Cenk Uyger and Jesse Ventura (and to the band "America"), all of whom I like and respect, but lemme see if I've got this straight:

When I returned to MSNBC in 2003 I was a "conservative," and Jesse was taken off the air because - after handing him a lot of guaranteed money - they suddenly dropped him because they suddenly discovered he didn't support the Iraq war, even though the Governor contends Phil Donahue had just been fired by MSNBC for not supporting the Iraq War.

I'm writing from my father's bedside so this diary will be a little choppy and have a few typos - but, in brief - what a crock!

First and foremost, Dad keeps fighting bravely onwards. It is startling to contemplate that the same man can be the same kind of hero to his 51-year old son as he was to the same son at age 5. Thank you all for your wonderful and sustaining good wishes.

1. He wrote that all on his iPhone?

That would take me at least a day to do. It's just not that easy.

2. Unbelievable.

And he responded a bunch of times in looooooong paragraphs. Also, did you see the line about the ties? I did the math, and it wouldn't have been ours, but I'm counting it as a shout out. :)

I have two things recording at once, and I don't feel like shlepping into the bedroom to watch Lawrence.
