Jane: You were beautiful, poised, and intelligent — awesome!

I have to disagree about the hair. I think you should keep it back out of your face for on-air appearances. It would make you look a bit more professional and less SF Lefty. This isn’t sexist, it’s strategic. I happen to love SF Lefties, but then again you don’t need to preach to the converted…

Jane and Keith
Sittin’ in a tree….

Only kidding – you were great, Jane! And you guys were great together! What a team!

pssssst…did you take Keith aside after the segment and tell him to DUMP DANA MILLBANK?

Talk about your beltway WHORES – that guy is it! He says talking about the morality of torture can’t get any traction and is LESS IMPORTANT than the fact that the republicans are TALKING ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY and getting the megaphone. Gawd, I hate that guy! How jaded can you get?

That’s the first question I’m gonna ask KO when he’s here at FDL – why why why Dana Millbank? Gack!

There are several in addition to Millbank that have to go. It would be great to let KO know that we are thrilled with his growing success and think it would be even better if he could get a whole possee of truth tellers rather than stenographers on his show.

I’d be happy to never see the “Noron” sub for him again!!

Doh!

You could link to actually progressive companies like Powell’s Books and be supporting a union shop and a Democratic Party supporter at the same time.

Thanks.

Mack – EPU’d but if you see this, Christian Scientist Monitor piece from last week exploring a lot of foreign sources and how we probably do have people still under wraps.

There is a new thread, but I don’t know how to link it…

I’m all vechelemt (sp?) xo :)

That’s so cute, thanks for the spelling laugh.

My grandmother would roll in her grave to know that I didn’t know how to properly speak/spell in yiddish….unfortunately she wasn’t around to school me, so I have Linda Richmond and kauffee tawk… :)

verklempt…meaning totally messed up…and I’m not even Jewish.

There is no language called ‘jewish” there is yiddish and there is also hebrew…., but no jewish.

Thank’s for editing and clarifying.

orangejumpsuit –

When I googled a bit to see how the Yiddish version varied from the German, I found a number of websites with all sorts of variations, including what looks like a listserve debating standardization of Yiddish spellings.

Versions I came across –

verklempt
verklemt
verklemmt

I went with the latter one, since I know its use not only from Yiddish, but from use by German young people, who use it just like the Yiddish meaning — “all up-tight emotionally.” [”Klemmen” means to squeeze together, and “verklemmen” means to make too tight, to restrain or inhibit.]

It’s a cool word, and much like many, many words in Yiddish, it almost needs a complete sentence to translate into English. Yiddish is very economical with highly nuanced descriptions of attitudes. I miss the time when I lived in Philly and could listen to the weekly Yiddish radio program locally broadcast.

Thank you Mrs.K8
