KOEB - 3/27 - Immigration edition

[SharonRB]

[SharonRB]

1. Hellooooooo? Where is everybody?

Am I all by myself tonight? Be careful or I'll start singing....

All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself...

[ralps]

3. I'm here Sharon

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

[SharonRB]

4. Hi, ralps

Where is everybody tonight?

[Berry Cool]

35. OK, I'm here, even if late, you can leave the singing to Eric Carmen

or Celine Dion, or Il Divo or whoever...

Anyway, I'm demanding my rightful recognition for having predicted Keith went back to Tampa again. But boy, am I glad to be wrong about thinking this time he might not make it a working vacation.

Keith, there just ain't enough love in the world for ya, honey. :loveya:

[ralps]

2. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone, Hi Mrs Greenspan, Blegh for Andrea

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

[bleever]

5. Keef's on the road?

:hi:

[SharonRB]

6. Sure looks that way

His color is weird again, too.

:hi:

[bleever]

7. Tampa, eh?

Man, I wish I was in Tampa. If they're gonna have trouble with his color, maybe they should borrow Rev's South Park KO instead.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

15. In English we say, "Spring Training"

Awww. He's doing a story on the Youth Fair and the chickens. I go every year just to utter the phrase, "Wow. That's a biiig chicken." Okay, I also go to eat.

:hi:


p.s. Lucky, KO. The weather in Tampa is just beautiful.

[Berry Cool]

36. I made a South Park Keith once myself

but the kit I used included gray hair. I guess not all of them offer that option!

[bleever]

41. Again, you leave the nerdiest of us envying your

ability to navigate the universe of resources.


P.S.: Thanks for avoiding Gitmo. :thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

40. Hmm... I'll have to do another one, huh?

Let me see what I can do. :hi:

[WolverineDG]

8. I'm here, Sharon

Thanks for the earworm. x(

It's Local News Edition Keith! :)

As for what happened in Judiciary today re: the exemption for humanitarian aid, thank the Sisters of Mercy who, among others, have been calling their senators & urging others to call on their behalf, to get the incredibly non-Christian portions of the House Bill taken out.

"Hello, Senator Box turtle's office. This is DG, calling on behalf of the Sisters of Mercy."

We were told that some senator's office called the Washington office of the Sisters & asked "Just how many of you ARE there?" because that office had received almost 6K calls. :evilgrin:

dg

[SharonRB]

9. Sorry about that, DG. I probably gave it to myself, too!

How did the bill wind up today when they were done with it?

[WolverineDG]

11. Not sure

I'm hoping Sen. Durbin's amendment stays in the bill. Otherwise, I think the Cesar Chavez march this Saturday is going to be a bit more, um, interesting than in years past.
dg

[SharonRB]

17. What was his amendment?

I can't believe they're seriously considering rounding up 11 million people and sending them back to where they came from.

I agree we need some controls, but my goodness, have a little empathy for the people who have been here and have been working and contributing to our society. They absolutely need some kind of amnesty program where these people can become legal. They need to crack down on the employers.

[Clark2008]

19. Hmmm.... that might include my ex husband

Interesting...

[SharonRB]

20. One of the 11 million illegals or an employer?

[WolverineDG]

32. My fave is when the pro folks start saying things like

"They take our jobs but don't pay taxes!"

(1) The jobs illegals take are, in fact, jobs Americans wouldn't want &
(2) They ARE paying taxes. If they own property here, they pay property taxes. If they rent, property tax is included in the rent. They pay the gas taxes when they fill up their cars. And if they buy stuff in the stores, they pay sales tax.

dg

[Berry Cool]

37. I am in no position to criticize illegal aliens myself

having an ancestor who was one.

[CC]

13. I hope she said... More than you

will ever know.

:hi: everyone.

Best line tonight on going to war...Brian Williams, War was a done deal long before diplomacy was attempted.

[ralps]

10. Why in the heck is Lisa talking to Norm Coleman????

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :puke:

[Wetzelbill]

30. Norm Coleman can talk?

WTF? :)

[Patsy Stone]

12. Hey, Sharon!

I'm having virus issues (computer viruses :)) and posting this evening is a pain in the ass. Too many pop ups!

Still don't like "Local News Keith", but big floaties for showing up, KO: :loveya:

Hopefully, this will all be better tomorrow. I'll miss you all.

[SharonRB]

16. I hope your viruses get better soon

I had some trouble a few minutes ago, too. DU was really, really slow.

Miss you, too!

[Clark2008]

14. My God! Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn looks like

a mini-Grand Canyon!

:hi: all!!

[SharonRB]

18. Hi, Clark

How many days 'til the honeymoon?

[bunny planet]

21. Hi Sharon

I was trying to watch tonight but I have that horrible, inexplicable, interruption of service only on my MSNBC channel again. I couldn't tweak it like I did last time and so I have the cable person scheduled for Wednesday morning. Problem is, Chris Matthews and Rita Cosby come in clear with no problem before and after KO and no other channel has this problem. It is beginning to look like Fox news /O'Reilly sabotage (said in my best Bugs Bunny voice). I'll bet I will get the midnight rerun with no problem. Is this too paranoid, I feel like calling someone else in town with my cable provider and seeing if they are having trouble with their reception on Channel 37. Anyway, I am having a new cable box brought over on the off chance that a new box will fix the reception on one channel.

I am sooooooooo frustrated, I hadn't realized how much I depend on Keith to be the only one on television to give me the news truthfully. I guess I'll just read the thread to find out what he talked about. In the midst of the interruptions I could see he had Howard Fineman on to talk about the immigration story, and Mrs. Greenspan (still can't believe the conflict of interest there) reporting on the Downing Street memo that has finally made it to the MSM. At least they didn't have Dana Milbank, who was so dismissive of Conyers first attempts to reveal the memo last year on to report about it.

Sorry for the rant, Hi everyone.

[SharonRB]

23. Hi, bunny

That is still just so weird. I hope the Cable Guy has an explanation.

This is a new Downing Street Memo.

[bunny planet]

34. Thanks Sharon.

I want my Keef back, no more Countdownus Interruptus.
Please.

I know its a new Downing Street Memo, but it is one of several that have been uncovered or leaked and only the first one the MSM has been willing to report.

Did KO cover the story about KKKarl 'co-operating' with Fitz and helping 'find' all those missing WH emails? Now that's a story with POtential. Larissa called Stephanie this morning with that juicy tidbit. Did you hear it?

[SharonRB]

89. I heard Larissa when she called in, too

I don't think KO talked about it - YET. I'm sure he will eventually.

How 'bout Andy Card resigning this morning?

[bunny planet]

92. veeeeery interesting about Card, especially since the rumor is on again

that Fitz will indict either the Pillsbury Roveboy or Hadley soon, or both, could Card's resignation at this time have anything to do with that? What's the next big holiday we can rename, 'Fitz of July', except I don't think I can stand to wait that long.

I'm feeling so jumpy lately, whenever it seems like these crooks are going to be held to account I can't help worrying about what they would be willing to do to prevent that from happening.

How's by you doll. I sure hope my KO reception problem gets fixed tomorrow morning.

xoxoxo

[SharonRB]

94. Well, we could call it Fitzover, Fitzach, Fitzster or Eastgerald

Lots of possibilities -- it would be so sweet if it would come that soon!

[bunny planet]

96. I love Eastgerald. LOL

[SharonRB]

22. I had CSPAN on today and heard that Robert Byrd's wife passed away

Saturday night. Senators were saying lots of nice things about her during their morning free-for-all speeches.

[ralps]

24. I'm trying to back up some of my computer stuff on to a DVD so I'm

listening ti Keith but not posting a whol lot tonight. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Clark2008]

25. I know why she shot her husband...

well, I know what her friends are saying.

Mary's from Knoxville, you know.

[SharonRB]

26. So, tell us why.

No one else is talking.

[SharonRB]

27. Demi and Ashton are breeding?

Yech!

[ralps]

28. Today's worst person in the world is.... Jerome Corsi for plagerism LOL

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

[Wetzelbill]

29. it's nice that my future wife Scarlett Johannson is getting her props

:)

[Greylyn58]

47. So tell Wetzelbill........

Does Scarlett Johannson know about your future plans? :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

57. her security detail might

:)

[SharonRB]

31. I'll see you guys Wednesday.

We have free passes to see "Thank You for Smoking" tomorrow night.

[Wetzelbill]

33. Blasphemy!

Much like Mass, if you miss one day of KO then you are committing a mortal sin!

Oh this isn't the Keith Olbermann Christian Fundamentalist Brigade? My bad!

See you wednesday and have fun! :)

[Berry Cool]

38. I want to see that movie too. I loved the book back when it came out.

But I'll have to try to see it when there's no work and no Keith on...

Oh, I just realized something I had forgotten about for a week.

Uh, Keith wore a new tie last Monday.

It wasn't one of ours. :cry:

Or was it really new?

And of course, we know that he takes only two suits, two shirts and one tie to Tampa with him. LOL. So don't expect to see 'em this week! :rofl:

on edit: Bill, you seem to be somewhat confused. While missing Keith is a shame, it is not a mortal sin. However, the thoughts some of us have when watching Keith probably are.

on double edit: Did anyone see TUCKER CARLSON is at the unclaimed baggage store tonight? What IS it with this story that everyone has to cover it all of a sudden?

[Wetzelbill]

43. hahaha

I can only imagine what those thoughts are. :)

What is with that story anyway? Tucker must just feel the need to copycat KO. :)


Keith has some of the most badass ties. I like how he dresses. If I wasn't too lazy (or a financially strapped student) that's how I would dress. Now I toss on shorts and t-shirts. :)

[SharonRB]

90. LOL -- Thanks, Bill

And, just to give you a special heads up -- I may not be here Thursday either. OMG!

[Wetzelbill]

93. ......

Wetzelbill just fainted. He will be back shortly. :)

[RevCheesehead]

39. Hmm..Broadcasting from Tampa, and wearing the Bocara lookalike...

At least there's a nice, big close-up of this tie. But that make-up job is a bit much, eh?

I had a meeting tonight, it went fabulously, and I'm here to watch the Re-Countdown! :bounce:

Keith: :loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Greylyn58]

42. Howdy Rev!!

I had to work until 11pm so this is my 1st view of Keith. So far it's been great.

Hope you are doing well? Sheridan says woof woof too!! :)

[Berry Cool]

44. I'm here too! Hi Rev and Grey! And Sheridan, too!

:hi: Keith's favorite phrase lately seems to be "Uhhhh, here we go..." in that accent! :rofl:

A chicken beauty contest!

on edit: for Bill: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: for what he is thinking the Rev and I think of when we watch Keith.

Of course he's right, but...

Oh man, Keith. You watch too much sci-fi. :-)

[Greylyn58]

45. Howdy Berry

Hope everything is well with you also.

Yeah...I think Keith has reached his stupidity saturation point and that's why he keeps saying that phrase.

I love Keith...he knows and watches the same movies I do!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

46. Just reminded of the one thing I don't like about Local News Keith.

No paper toss...I wonder why that is. He actually did it his first two nights there the last time. Then he stopped. Didn't do it at 30 Rock either.

I wonder why.

Oh well. Keith without a script toss is better than no Keith at all.

Enjoy the baseball, Keith!

on edit: Where do you and Keith FIND these movies, Grey? :rofl:

[Greylyn58]

48. I agree

Any Keith is better than no Keith at all.

Personally...I'll take him any way I can get him! :evilgrin: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

50. I'll take him. Period.

:evilgrin:

But seriously, this is not the imitation Bocara, Rev. That one is red. This one is purple.

Do some people need to adjust their sets? Tee hee.

[RevCheesehead]

52. I guess I could get up and go to the other TV...

except I'm too damned lazy to do that.

Hi, Berry! Nice to see you tonight! :hi:

[CC]

53. Hi late nighters I am barely here

Someone needs to write an email to Keith saying there are 87,140 people on DU and the KOEB is beginning to think they should have all of them email a "Where the Garcia tie already." to him. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

54. Next year, we give him a KOEB mug.

At least he can use it as a planter, or a pencil holder. But even better, when Monica comes on to report, she can have the mug with her. I'm sure she'd be glad to promote the brigade!

Hiya, Ferrettessa! :hi:

[Greylyn58]

56. I like that idea!!!!

Keith should have a mug.

[CC]

58. How are you doing?

Something just for you...and everyone here. Ferret torture.









also known as bath time. :rofl:

[Greylyn58]

61. OMG....you evil person!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You meanie!!! Torturing that poor little critter!!!

[CC]

63. And that was their SECOND bath

since they escaped and found kitty litter to snorkel in...clean thankfully. :rofl::rofl:

The dogs aren't much happier with their baths but not as containable for pics. The cats avoid the torture completely and the birds love a shower.

[RevCheesehead]

65. Yet another reason to adore cats:

They do their own baths. It makes the litterbox worth it. :)

[CC]

68. I can't make up my mind what I

like, so a zoo crew here. Each has it good qualities and each has its downside. Though for entertainment the ferrets and birds win out, for love and snuggle the cats and dogs win out.

[RevCheesehead]

62. LOL!

Is that Jazzy? It's hard to tell colorings on a wet ferret!! :rofl:

[CC]

64. That would be Pixel in

the first two and Peach in the second two. I only know because I didn't take pics until their second baths. They deserved to wait longer.

[RevCheesehead]

67. Naughty ferrets!

Just for their bad behavior, they deserve to have their dignity taken away from them by having a pic snapped! :rofl:

Pixel musta been cold... I was going by noses first, then coloring.

So tell me, how many of the critters currently live with you?

[CC]

70. We are down to the 8 ferrets, 5 cats,

4 dogs and 2 birds. I wanted to not bring down the thread but lost Jazzy Dec. 22 to unknown causes. Vet couldn't figure it out so figure she went to keep Gizmo company. Stormy has been gone for 2.5 years and of course lost Gizmo last summer. Downside to ferrets, short life span. Course I have Harley that has another 60 years left to his life span and needs to be left to someone in our will. The again they all are just in case.

[RevCheesehead]

72. I'm so sorry to hear about Jazzy!

But I love the idea of going to keep Gizmo company. Poor Roo - now he has two ferrets to contend with, and my mom has lots and lots of questions about their unique friendship! :)

[CC]

73. And we can't forget

Blue that got everything ready for them. I almost said your mom would have some questions for you one day but I sincerely believe that they know all the answers now and are just watching over those they love, wishing them happy.

[RevCheesehead]

74. I think so, too.

Of course, Blue Doggie was the one who prepared the way... and despite all the sadness, just look at all the blessings that came Lara's way since then!

[CC]

77. I know and it has been so

heartwarming to watch them turn around and how happy she is now. It should give (does me) everyone hope for the future and the knowledge that no matter how bad things get it can turn around.

heartwarming...went through a few words but that one fit best.

[CC]

80. It is time for me to say

good night as the siding guys will be hammering on my bedroom walls at 7 am, like this morning. Least they start on this side so they will be finished this side first.

[RevCheesehead]

81. It's a shame they don't make critter earplugs,

for just such an occasion as this one. If that happened here, Binky would be under the bed, and wouldn't come out except to pee.

G'nite, Ferrettessa! :hug::loveya:

[CC]

83. My cats slept through it

and gave me the evil eye when I gave up. They are not normal cats. lol Get some sleep your self Pope Cheesy. Night.

[Gogi]

76. You can never watch 'Five Million Years to Earth' too many times!

I watch it every time it comes on, which is'nt very often. My favorite part is when people are pursued by visions of ants and a demon wind that kills them.

[CC]

78. Some how I missed that one

and will have to see if Netflix has it.

[Gogi]

84. The alternative title is "Quatermass and the Pit".

eom

[Greylyn58]

86. I'm the same way

there are certain movies I can't pass up watching if I see that they are on. I happened to love alot of '50's and 60's SciFi movies.

This happens to be one of them.

[Gogi]

87. Woof, Sheridan!

Anderson Cooper 360 has a piece on this guy who performs exorcisms. This woman claims she's been possessed 4 times! How'd you like to have her for a neighbor.

[RevCheesehead]

88. Hell, how'd you like to have her in your CHURCH??

Sounds more like someone who avoids taking personal responsibility to me. Wasn't it Geraldine Jones (Flip Wilson) who used to say "The devil made me do it!"? Bah!

[RevCheesehead]

51. Hi, Grey!

I was listening, and working on a new Casual Keith SouthPark. I had no idea anyone was around tonight!

Woof!

[Greylyn58]

55. That's Cool

Be sure to show off your masterpiece when you are finished!!!

:)

[Greylyn58]

49. OMG that is sooo cool

Keith is gonna have my fave guys from the Ghost Hunters show on!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!! I love that show!!!!

[Greylyn58]

59. I hope Michael Schiavo

kicks these goobers asses and takes Frist, DeLay and all the others apart.

[Berry Cool]

60. No paper wad toss tonight

Bless Keith, he always knows when it would be inappropriate.

Anyway, nice to see you Ferrettessa, and all the ferret torture! I conduct cat torture myself...it's called "brushing out the mats"!

[CC]

66. Hi Berry

I am lucky on the cats, they love to be brushed with the shedding blade. But then I am beginning to think I have strange cats, they like being brushed, sleep with me until I wake up and just all around behave.

[Gogi]

82. Pulled a mean trick on my furball tonight.

I waited until his backside was about to sneak out his catdoor and then threw two magazines on this pile of recycling which was on the floor near the door. That's the fastest his rear end ever went through his catdoor!

[CC]

85. Just saw that and

bad cat mommy but :rofl::rofl: because I can see it and that is the one thing my cats are normal about. Now really shutting down and going to bed. Night

[RevCheesehead]

69. I saw parts of Matt Lauer's interview with Michael Schiavo.

And I must say, his questions were simplistic and bland, compared to Keith's. Floaty hearts aside, Keith is clearly the superior interviewer.

[CC]

71. Keith ask good questions and

gives a person all the time they need to think and answer. Should he ever decide to teach we will know who had him student wise and listened.

[Greylyn58]

75. I agree

that has always been one of my favorite things about KO's interviews. He is excellent.

[CC]

79. I would even settle for sports if

they let him do a weekend interview every week. It could be prerecorded.

Way past my bedtime, will have hammering on the walls at 7. (New siding)


Have a good night and good sleep all you night owls.

[WolverineDG]

91. I feel for ya, CC

I've had workmen in my house this past weekend. Got everything done but the cleanup last night. Now I have the fun job of deciding what colors I want to paint my bedroom. And then, oy, the floor! :crazy:

dg

[CC]

95. I'm actually happy to have them

starting, but would really rather the windows were here so they could work on through. Spent all day yesterday fighting about when the would get here after paying extra to have them here last Friday. Not going to get them sooner so now the fight is over getting reimbursed for the extra, since they are coming at the regular time. I will not accept it is the makers fault. It has gotten to where I called corporate and so far have 1 gift certificate for being on hold too long. The work around is they are doing the rough opening and leaving the plywood and tyvek over them until the windows come. So far time wise I will still be able to insulate and drywall before the heat of summer. At least the siding guys that were going to pop in the windows for free aren't too upset, even if it throws them off.
