[Berry Cool]

1. Yea hurray!!!!!

Ted and Marie's baby boy is back!!!! :bounce: :loveya:

Didn't you love the title of today's newsletter? They know what side their bread is buttered on, don't they?

And :hi: Sharon!

[WolverineDG]

2. Hi Sharon!

The lunatics are running the show & God help the people in the Middle East because the wars there are going to continue. :cry:

So you get to be a "body person?" Sounds like fun!!

:hi:

David Van Os is coming to my hometown tomorrow. Kinda cool lining up the media to be there to cover it. :)

Keith--just the right amount of solids & stripes & a dark suit too! :loveya:

And let me go on record as saying: Mel Gibson? SO NOT ON MY HOTTIE LIST ANYMORE!!!!!!!! Anti-semitic & sexist pig! If he wasn't thinking those things, he would not have said them!


dg

[SharonRB]

5. Yup -- I get to be a body person

What's funny is that five minutes before Kevin called me to see if I could do this, I had been IM'ing with Nancy's Internet intern and she mentioned the term and I asked her what it meant because I had never heard it before. So, one minute I don't know what it is, and the next minute, I are one!

I just hope they have good security at the JCC.

[Olney Blue]

3. Hi Sharon- glad Keith is back too!

[Olney Blue]

4. Shrub- master diplomat and debater.

[WolverineDG]

6. He's a mass-de-something all right

not sure what it is, but it smells to high heaven.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

11. That would be:

a mass turd baiter. :freak:

:hide:

[WolverineDG]

14. And Karl Rove is

a mass turd blossom.

heh

dg

[ralps]

7. Hi SharonRB, Hi Everyone, I'm late because i am going to volunteer for

my local humane society & the orientation was this afternoon!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

15. Good for you, ralps!

The critters of Milwaukee thank you, too. :hug:

[Olney Blue]

8. Gregory saying that Sharon would not have gotten into this.

Do you all agree with this? :shrug:

[SharonRB]

10. I wouldn't have?

Oh, THAT Sharon! LOL

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

16. Sha-RON, not SHA-ron

:rofl:

dg

[Olney Blue]

21. LOL.

On a serious note, I wish the other Sharon was not in a coma- his insight would be valuable right now.

[RevCheesehead]

9. Hi, everyone

This crap is really depressing me.
The neocons can't be satisfied with one war, they have to get another one going? I am so sick of it all. :cry:

[WolverineDG]

12. Just to make you even more suicidal

I heard on Ed Schultz today that Syria is having its army stand at the ready. CRAP CRAP CRAP!

Can the Rapture come NOW & take all these lunatics so the rest of us can live in peace??????

dg

[RevCheesehead]

17. There's a link to GD that says pretty much the same thing....

or rather, that America is telling Israel to get ready for Syria.

[SharonRB]

18. I just read that on DU

Did you hear Nancy on Hartmann's show today?

[WolverineDG]

22. No, I missed it

:(

BUT Sirius does re-run Hartmann's show, so I'll catch it tonight. :)

dg

[SharonRB]

26. It's at the beginning of the second hour

She rocked!

Speaking of which, here's the linky to my photo album from the Joan Jett concert Sat. night. We were all on the stage for the whole thing.

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sharonrb2/album?.dir=/316cscd&.src=ph&.tok=phBNORFBIPppx6jM

[bleever]

38. Nice pics!

Looks like a whole lotta fun.

[SharonRB]

39. We had a great time.

[WolverineDG]

68. You're a star!

Can I have your autograph?

dg

[SharonRB]

96. Hardly, but next time I see you, I'll give you one

[WolverineDG]

100. One request

can you write it on the sig line of a blank check? :loveya:

;)

dg

[SharonRB]

101. LOL

:rofl:

[ralps]

24. Yes I did!! She was Great!!!

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

[SharonRB]

29. She sure was.

And thanks again for donating last month.

[Olney Blue]

13. This is what you get with a "war" president.

x(

[RevCheesehead]

20. He can't usurp that power for a DIFFERENT war.

And I'll be goddamned if we'll let him. x(

[Berry Cool]

28. LOL, Keith envies a guy trapped under a "Girls Gone Wild" bus.

Gives a whole new meaning to his favorite phrase "throwing someone under the bus." :evilgrin:

For the record: I have NEVER SEEN that weird animal, and I don't think it's a squirrel with mange.

[RevCheesehead]

30. It looks like a squirrel/rat hybrid.

Why does Ohio get all the weird stuff? Competing with Florida? :hi:

[CBHagman]

87. Since Steve Martin and Bill Murray aren't on hand...

...I'll echo Keith and do the honors: What the hell was that?!

Seriously, though, as a survivor of a squirrel home invasion (Yes, really), if the thing had looked like THAT, I would have skipped calling animal control, taken off running, and not stopped until I reached the border of Delaware.

[ralps]

19. Hi RevCheesehead, I'm going to be volunteering for the Elmbrook

Humane Society & here is their webpage- http://www.ebhs.org/ & their Kitty page- http://www.ebhs.org/cats.htm
:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

23. Oooh! Elmbrook!!

(Milwaukee wanna-bes? :rofl:)

[ralps]

34. LOL But they had some cute cats & kittens!!! Including Twinkee, who had

the run of the front room- http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5798263


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

[RevCheesehead]

36. Why am I thinking that Crook and Norman may be getting a sister?

:thumbsup:

[ralps]

43. Nope not yet, I'm sure Twinkee will be adopted long before I decide to

get another Kitty!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

44. I'm seriously thinking of applying for a new kitty...

It's a 9 month old orange tabby named CC.
How could anyone pass up a critter named CC?

[ralps]

47. Aww!! I'm sure Binky & Oreo would like another friend, although they

might not think so at first. LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

52. I've been talking to them about it.

Binky keeps meowing when I ask her if she's OK with getting a little brother. A good meow. The same meow she gives me when I ask her "do you love me, Binky?"

Meet C.C.



Domestic Short Hair,Tabby - Orange

Size: Medium
Age: Young
Sex: Male
ID: n/a

Notes: Hi! I'm C.C. I was found in a chicken coop looking for food (hence the name). Fortunately, the chickens ratted me out and I was rescued and placed in a foster home by Cats Anonymous volunteers. I'm a great little guy, a social butterfly who loves meeting and playing with new cats. I've got an unusual "paternal instinct" and almost act like a mom to the new fosters at my foster home. My foster brother 9 Lives and I are really close buddies and would love to go to a new home together. I have the cutest little green eyes--one look and you'll fall for me completely.

[ralps]

58. Awww Would you take "9 lives" too???

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

[RevCheesehead]

61. I just might.

He looks a little like Roo.



Domestic Medium Hair,Tiger

Size: Medium
Age: Baby
Sex: Male
ID: n/a

Notes: My name is 9 Lives...but I think have about 8 left. I got my head stuck in a hole once. Luckily, they greased me up with butter and I slid right out. I can be a bit stand-off-ish at first, but when you pet me you'll find out I'm just a big lover. I'm gonna be a big boy someday, you can tell when you pick me up. My best friend is my foster brother C.C. We'd love to go to a new home together.

[ralps]

63. Double Awww I hope you decide to take both of them

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

[RevCheesehead]

65. I'm just hoping Oreo and Binky aren't too old to adapt.

On the one hand, they like things just the way they are.
On the other hand, they miss Roo terribly.

I don't have much experience with kitties. No, check that, I have NO experience with kitties. Am I nuts?

[WolverineDG]

71. My 14 year old

is getting used to having A DOG in the house for short periods of time. She's gotten used to 3 kittens at various times (Hermione, then Draco, then Riki) & a full-grown cat belonging to my brother. :)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

74. I just get freaked out at the "how to" page on the website...

How to introduce a new pet to your family/other pets. It makes it sound like a big production. And there will be times when I will have to be away, and cannot supervise. Their "advice" is scaring me off.

[Berry Cool]

80. Don't get too freaked.

I had to introduce Bella into Harley's world many moons ago. Bella walked in like she just owned the place. Harley was not too happy. But eventually they got used to each other. Of course, Bella's the alpha cat so she'd just as soon have Harley gone, but Harley isn't completely passive and can give her a smack when required. She knows she was here first and likes to remind Bella of it sometimes.

[RevCheesehead]

82. Did you just leave them alone to work it out themselves?

This whole notion of "introducing your cat" seems weird to me. I say, let 'em loose and see what happens.

[Berry Cool]

102. I didn't introduce 'em.

I love to watch cats duke it out. I'd sell tickets.

[WolverineDG]

90. It's really not so bad

keeping the new ones isolated so they get adapted to their new environment & the older ones get used to their smell. Their noses are going to be out of joint no matter what you do. It's better for kittens (in my most recent experience) to get used to being in one room & having that be their "Safety spot", while getting used to you as the source of love & of course, food. :)

Enjoy your new babies!!!

dg

[RevCheesehead]

92. Do you really think I have one room that isn't already taken?

Oreo is convinced the guest room is hers; and Binky hangs out in the office closet. Perhaps the 2 little guys could have the run of the rest of the house?

I just filled out the adoption application. Crossing all my fingers and toes that this is meant to be. :)

(my dad just said to me "it sounds like it's going to happen. If that's what makes you happy, then go for it." I :loveya: my dad!)

[CC]

94. A long hot day of renovations

and now no insulation or inside walls, suppose to hit 100 plus tomorrow. We are doing insulation tomorrow. lol So popped on to say hi and with a name like CC (which covers Ferretessa but also Craig Crawford.:evilgrin:) that kitty is destined to be yours. You know if you take 9 Lives too you could call him KO and not be too overboard.
I have always just thrown in the newbies with the oldies and let them figure out the pecking order. Of course I have a male Siamese that would of been a great mother and loves baby anythings. Any problems and you have me, the EDV's, the pet group, the lounge and the rescue org. to offer help and advice. And :loveya: to Papa O.

Is great to see Keith back, though I must say had I gotten his bag accidently on purpose he would of had to do dinner to get it back. Least I could do with an apology is feed the man.:evilgrin: And yes at least one tie and white pants would of been missing.

Off to bed, long hot day tomorrow.:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

95. I didn't even think of Craig! What a great idea!

Because 9 Lives is a baby, he will probably be renamed.... and I really want a cool cat named Keith. It goes sooooo well with my last name!

So I can add Keith and Craig to my household! :woohoo:

[WolverineDG]

99. Just a note to add

it's really funny seeing the "Safety Spot" in action. Imagine cats in full pursuit of each other, one jumps into her safety spot (a window), the chaser immediately hits the brakes & walks off. :rofl:

Aw, 2 kittens + 2 cats = lots of fun times ahead! :)

dg

[WolverineDG]

98. If you were a real fan

you'd have nabbed those damn shoes as well!

dg

[Berry Cool]

79. No, you're not nuts. I'm drooling just looking at kitty pix.

I'm always threatening to trade in my two oldsters for new models.

Poor 9 Lives. Sounds like he could have been on Oddball.

[RevCheesehead]

81. I just might have to rename him "Keith."

Or, on a tackier note, "Countdown."

[WolverineDG]

70. Aw, how can you not?

Cuties, both of them! :loveya:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

76. The person who found CC is the vet assistant in the office!

He's been in for all his shots, etc... and they know him well. They say he is a real sweetheart. :loveya:

[WolverineDG]

69. Orange tabbies are fun!

I have 2. :)

dg

[RevCheesehead]

72. That's even more of an incentive.

But I'm keeping the name C.C. - because I don't think he'd answer to Ferrettessa. :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

31. Hi ralps. Just checked out the website- there is an ad for Friskies where

a cat is dreaming of a hybrid animal- a fish head walking around on chicken legs.
At first I thought it was Karl Rove....

:rofl:

[bleever]

25. Hey, Keith mentioned the giant Diebold security flaw

that's got about a 100 votes in four threads on the Greatest page!

:hi: all you Keef lovers.

[RevCheesehead]

33. I'm glad he mentioned it...

but would have preferred it was part of the top 5 stories, not just "top news headlines." Is he waiting for more evidence?

[Olney Blue]

37. hi bleever- hope you are well

:hi:

[Botany]

27. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Don't tell the others



I know you feel that everybody is hammering you & Israel but just know
that you have always been my Fav.

BTW God, do we need some real Grown Ups at work right now. I get more and more
pissed every time I see bush and company.

in 1978 Carter got Camp David
in 1982 Reagen called Israel and asked them to stop going into Lebanon and they did
in 1998 Clinton called Assad of Syria and asked them to stop Hezbellah's rockets and
the rockets were stopped.

[SharonRB]

32. I won't go near any of those threads

I heard you on Stephie's show this morning.

Thanks for the bagels and lox.

[Olney Blue]

41. Was botany on Stephanie Miller this morning?

Let me re-phrase: Was botany on Stephanie Miller's SHOW this morning?

[RevCheesehead]

42. roflol!

:rofl: Only in his dreams!

[SharonRB]

51. LOL

:rofl:

Yes, he was on air with her.

[Botany]

48. She wants me bad!

:rofl:

Funny thing .... her show is # 1 in D.C. from 9-12:00 AM think it pisses off
a few people?

[Olney Blue]

59. I listen to her every day on the drive into work- FINALLY a great

radio show. I'm a big fan.

[RevCheesehead]

35. AND (not to be sexist)....

in 2006, chimpy sends a woman. Yeah, like they'll listen to her. :eyes:

[Botany]

46. and then she lies.

Condi is told not to show up in Lebanon ..... then lies about it.
<Infuriated Lebanese officials said they had asked Rice to postpone the visit after Israel's
missile strike. But Rice said she called Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora to say she
would postpone the trip, and that she had work to do in Jerusalem to end the fighting.>

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060730/ap_on_re_mi_ea/leba... ;_ylt=AjV3ygfz5RaChI7vG.FiSEus0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--

Kinda like when you dump somebody and then they say, "No I dumped you."

Guess that cease fire that bush & Rice rejected 2 weeks ago looks good right now.

But she did the piano piece!


Mel Gibson Drunk Puppet theater ..... :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

49. she's an embarassment.

I will admit, I am sorta looking forward to some new Puppet Theater. :)

Maybe we should consider a Gull Bay production?

[Olney Blue]

50. I'm starting to get the idea that you don't like Condi, botany.

[Botany]

60. Let me see

9/11 on her watch as national security advisor
Iraq bad intel ( I say lies) on her watch
Israel, Lebanon, & Hezeballah mess as Sec of State ... "i don't want a bad cease fire,"
Goes to Russia last month with the story she can speak Russian ...
she can't .... opps

I want some grown ups in charge of things.

[Berry Cool]

83. Here's something funny: a woman who I used to work for

as in her being boss of my boss at a previous job, is supposedly working for Condi now, or intended to. If she can get her own language skills up. Word is she's having trouble. :rofl:

No wonder Condi can't speak Russian, her teacher's still trying to learn it.

[RevCheesehead]

40. "at least Mel can claim that he was drunk."

Oh, Mel. I just don't know what to say, except "shame."

Oh, and "What would Jesus say?"

[Olney Blue]

45. Anticipation.....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1782899

[Botany]

53. KO, "Mr. Rock."

Now that was said w/ extra snark sauce.

Way to go KO!

She wore WHITE.

a katie smack down & then KId & Pam snark!

[RevCheesehead]

56. And he took a swipe at

the sock puppet woman who stole his bag.

[ralps]

54. Today's Worst Person in The World- The Person that Took Keith's

Luggage at the Airport!!! LOL :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

57. Anyone wanna guess who THAT might have been?

:evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

73. CHECK YOUR BAG FOR MISSING TIES!!

We don't want them to show up on Ebay!

:hide:

dg

[RevCheesehead]

77. Speak for yourself.

I already have a .02 cent bid on a lovely Bocara. :evilgrin:

[WolverineDG]

89. Aw, you're getting me a prezzie

for my birthday! :loveya:


dg

[RevCheesehead]

91. Anything for you, doll!

:loveya::hug:

[bleever]

55. Dang, it sure is nice to have KO back.

I love it when he shows up to do his own program.

:)

[Berry Cool]

64. Yeah, don't ya love it when he does that for a change??

:loveya: Keith.

Ooh, Mel mug shot!!

[RevCheesehead]

62. (filling in for Patsy here:)

Michael! What the hell are you wearing?

[RevCheesehead]

66. (Cheese, responding to Patsy:)

I know. He looks like a refugee from a gay soccer match.

[Berry Cool]

67. Here's Mindy Weiss, the bag-stealin' minx herself:

http://www.mindyweiss.com/

Just kidding, but there is a Mindy Weiss in LA who is a party planner.

Click on the page "about team" and take your pick as to who YOU think the guilty party was! (Warning, KO, they're all attractive women. Had you met her in person, you might have asked her out!)

Wow, Tucker is tan after all that time in the Middle East.

[WolverineDG]

75. There's an "Ask Mindy" section

Shall we ask her if she regularly steals people's luggage from airport carrousels?

:evilgrin:

dg

[Berry Cool]

84. Yeah, and then ask her if she steals the ties out.

And does she have any good friends in Florida?

(LOL, either that or it was a dedicated fan who decided the only way to make sure he didn't wear those white pants and shoes from the Craig Ferguson Show again was to steal and burn them.)

[WolverineDG]

85. Thanks for outing me

:hide:

dg

[WolverineDG]

78. I can't believe Katie Couric

demanded & got into the cockpit to ask the pilot to "wait" for her producer & the airline says it's a common occurance. YEAH RIGHT!! Tell that to my cousin who missed her connection in LAX because of the airline's own delay & was refused boarding on her connecting flight even though the flight was still boarding & there were open seats on the plane! all because they hadn't gotten to the gate 15 minutes prior because the first flight took off late! :grr:

I bet if it had been Miss Katie Nobody, she would have been shot by the airmarshalls.


dg

[Berry Cool]

86. Probably.

I once had to really raise a fuss about an airline not wanting me to board and telling me it was too late when they got me entirely mixed up at the airport with all that "gate sharing" crap they were doing with another airline. It was all I could do to figure out WHICH plane I should be getting on at WHICH gate based on my boarding pass--people at the one airline would send me to the other gate and vice versa--and then I finally get someone who tells me the right gate and they're not about to let me on because they're ready to leave! Hello!?! Maybe if you guys didn't keep sending me back and forth between gates trying to figure out where I was supposed to be, I could have boarded on time?!? Luckily they let me on. Sheesh.

And for the record, I never take other people's suitcases by accident. And if I did, I sure as heck would return it in person and apologize.

[WolverineDG]

88. I had my bag go walkabout in Edinburgh

at the same time, some other woman's bag also went missing. Fortunately, they tracked down who had it & got her on the phone. When she not so politely informed the attendant she was NOT going to return to the airport & switch the bags since "they could simply pick up the other person's bag when mine is dropped off," the attendant very politely informed her she'd better bring it back or he'd call the police. :)

My bag eventually got to me. This, after we were charged £25 for "excess weight." :grr:

dg

[bunny planet]

93. Hi Sha-sha, got your package today.

I've definitely got two of those galleries on my radar already and I'm checking out some of the others.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending the listing to me, it was most helpful.

On the other hand, I had to miss KO's return tonight. I'll read and catch up. Did he talk about Mel?
Randi was a scream talking about Mel the Drunken Skinhead today. 'he asks the officer if he's a Jew, did he ask his lawyer if he's Irish.'

[SharonRB]

97. Hi, Bunny

Sorry we missed you last night -- I won't be around tonight (gotta escort Nancy to a ZOA event at the JCC). Which two are on your radar already? I'm glad it's helpful. (Of course, I've got selfish motives -- I want you to come here for a visit!)

Randi was pretty funny yesterday, as usual.
