Hola
I let downstairs know, TRex.
That’s what I get for finishing my spider solitaire hand while comments refresh.
I left this downstairs (still feeling brave)
Ok, I’m nobody. Just an average citizen, and a municipal employee. But it sure felt great today to make some phone calls, spurred on by Christy and the rest of the firepups. And this evening I fielded some phone calls from some pollsters who were looking for support for a Repug candidate for the VA house of delegates, and I politely but firmly refuted all of their Repug talking points and reinforced my support for the Democratic candidate.
That is all…

2 questions:
1) how do you paint the cards on them?
2) how do you get them to sit still until you’re done?
TILLMAN.
Shadowstalker @ 5
I was catching “John in Cincinatti”, not sure if I like it, it’s still just a background show for me.
Lou Costello @ 8
Tillman.
althespook@7
1) verry carefully
2) I have seven cats. It’s amazing how still spiders will sit when surrounded by seven cats.
:-)
TexB, ya here? got EPU’d, see comment 264 downstairs and althespook at 265
Alaska’s entire congressional delegation can get caught in scandals this year.
Don Young is an Abramoff baby. Ted Stevens son is up to his nostrils in slime in a case in which three state representatives were indicted. The “internet is a series of tubes” Senator is also getting unwelcomed attention because the local oil field support company paid for his remodel on his home in Girdwood. And now, it is Lisa Murkowski, who was appointed by her father when he vacated the seat to become Governor. Seems she bought some land at way below market value from a well-known crook.
LoudounLib @ 10
Really!
newdealfarmgrrrlll @ 13
yes maam. was getting ready for bed. back now.
newdealfarmgrrrlll @ 12
Cool! TEXB, where are you, girlio?
Man, Toni Halliday is so hot. Not since Emma Peel has a black cat-suit been worn so well by a subject of the British Empire.
Crossing over from the last thread regarding NOLA.
1. We didn’t get the convention, but we are trying to get a televised Presidential debate. If anyone here can help in this cause, please do.
2. Yes, murder is a problem here but, we have no functioning criminal justice system. Without exception, almost all the murders are drug related retaliation. Not good for the people in the drug business, but other than that the city is as safe or safer than it has ever been. It strange, this whole place goes on day to day without the rule of law, but for the most part, people get along fine. I think it was the shared experience of the hurricane.
Applebee’s sent me a Case Number for my Bill Orally complaint! I love having a Case Number. It makes me feel important
You folks are amazing. Truly.
TRex @ 17
pretty good song - kind of Garbage-esque, no?
Shadowstalker @ 11
touche! I am bested! :)
speaking of cats, did you see this from CuteOverload? Scary!
Skronky, eh? Reflecting on your prior post, I noticed nobody defended the 4 Senators need to press the flesh so early, with the earth-shattering front-loading of all the major State Primaries!!! A viable retort!!!
TeddySanFran @ 19
Woohoo! It means your complaint was taken seriously.
TeddySanFran @ 19
TSF … I got a case number too, I can’t wait to get their response !
TRex @ 17
A fellow Emma Peel addict! (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was the best bond ever for me for that exact reason!) What does Ms. Halliday play in, been out of the loop entertainment wise for a while…?
TeddySanFran @ 19
What did you complain about?
Applebee - is he still in the race?
LoudounLib @ 6
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier, LL. Aint it a grand feeling! Like Teddy’s offical case number. Doing something feels great.
TexB @ 20
We mean it, TexB. Get some numbers. we want you to do this if you can. The Tyranny of Money Shall Not Prevail!
althespook @ 22
(((AK)))) I can’t compete, I only have one cat on my lap, occasionally, nipping me because I’m ignoring him while I type this comment out!!! *g*

Very cool LL !

HA!
TexB @ 27
Applebees sponsors Bill O’Reilley who tonight called for a boycott of Jet Blue because the airline is a sponsor of Yearly Kos.
Big Mitch, glad you are keeping us abreast of what is happening in Alaska with regard to the republican corruption up there. ET has been doing that but he has been busy lately.
Oh btw, here in my district in VA, the Democratic candidate for House of Delegates is an incumbent. Nice, for traditionally red Loudoun County :-)
althespook @ 26
Since we’re … em … opening up … Dr. No gave me a …
*cough* … jumpstart to puberty … I saw it when I was 4 … Ursula Andress … zowie …
This song pre-dates Garbage by about five years.
Curve, but they’ve broken up now.
Sigh.
Man, is sam Brownback a douchebag or what? I am watching him on C-Span2.
One thing he said that I don’t understand is that he is “pro-life and whole life.” What is that code for?
BigMitch @ 41
It means he’s a conservative insurance salesman
Well, I think I will head off to bed. The heat here is draining all my energy. We just broke the record for consecutive days over 90, are on track to break the record for total days over 100 in a year, and will almost certainly go down as the hottest summer ever in Missoula. God am I spoiled. In Oklahoma, it was like this or worse all summer and humid to boot.
Relating to YearlyKos 07, what do we have to do to get some love on the west coast? I think YK08 in SF would be a hit :) We’re already way ahead in Cal on the Impeachment train, with the LA Impeachment Center which just opened recently…
boxer @ 42
LOL but I don’t think he deserves another term.
BigMitch @ 41
Barefoot & pregnant. Hi Big Mitch!
G’night DrD, keep cool
LL, since I am a lifelong registered Republican, I love forking with the rethugs when they call and try those forking talking points with me. Totally blows them away when I speak as a life long republican who is madder than hell and not gonna take it any more.
Only reason I haven’t switched is to screw with the demographics when polled.
Every once in a while, Richard Cohen gets it right:

tomorrow’s questions…today!
Pat Buchanan has some hard questions over at Antiwar.com:
http://www.antiwar.com/pat/?articleid=11301
you may not approve of the former Nixon speechwriter, but he sure can pare it down to cold essentials, and speak to corporate types in a way they understand…
3 carrier groups in the Gulf, the idiotic Leiberman amendment… the most chilling question:
maybe they are in on it?
kind of invalidates their rhetorical posturing vis-a-vis the failed Iraq war.
Maybe 4 years from now some be forced to kind of half apologize for having enabled the next war.
TRex @ 40
well I’ll be darned
Brownback is the Douchebag King. All the little Douchebags come to him for their marching orders. None can surpass his great and all-encompassing Douchebagginess.
Except Joe Lieberman, who is the hose on a Douchebag.
Good night all. The sedatives have fully worn off and my back is not happy in this position. Gonna sleep.
Wow. And I thought I was the only one who still remembered Curve — Toni Halladay and Dean Garcia. That first album was HOT; the rest not so much.
newtonusr @ 46
LOL !!!
Curve were way, way ahead of their time.
Anne Haygood @ 54
OMG, no! I looooooove “Come Clean” from 1998.

Actually, I thought he was the nozzle on an enema bag.
Night TB, get to feeling better soon.
lol Suzanne — and I had to correct the poor little pollster girl on her pronunciation of Abramoff, and how to say Loudoun (loud-on)

Wishing ya Pain-free thoughts and prayers, Ma’am!!! 8-(
Sweet dreams Betsy, and rest well
Joe Lieberman is the douchebag template from which all others are drawn.
-GSD
DrDick @ 60
I thought he was the result of the enema?
althespook @ 30
what spook said. Besides, i’m a Virgo. The money was budgeted for yearlyK, do you want me to be stressed?
Brownback now answering the question, Where was God on 9-11? Says liberals kicked God out of public square, kicked Him out of schools, kicked the symbols of religion out of the public places, what do you expect?
In other words, 9-11 is the fault of liberals.
Top that, Lieberman!!!
woohoo - louis pictures! My stars, he has grown into his paws.
Suzanne @ 37
I get all my Alaska corruption news right here at FDL.
Seriously, you Alaskans do know that we hear nothing about your fabulous scandals on TradMed, right?
Jeez, punaise, he’s so big and handsome, now!
Hub-BA!!
That’s it from here pups, good night and keep up the fight!
Nighters, LL!
Applebees?
Betsy, you have FB mail.
TeddySanFran @ 71
Fall Winter Spring and Summer,

An Alaskan does it dumber.

NDFG - Betsy and I have solved the plane ticket problem. what she needs desperately now is a good camera to use on the trip. if you have spare money that would be a good contribution (she’ll announce tomorrow once all details are in place. I want Jane to get her some sort of official credentials.) Do you have TexB’s email addy?
TRex @ 52
And Novakula, who Jon Stewart calls the Douchebag of Liberty
AK, Enchilada is spelled with one ‘L’!!! ;-)
Loo Hoo. @ 75
Applebees sponsors Bill O’Reilley who tonight called for a boycott of Jet Blue because the airline is a supporter of Yearly Kos.
Suzanne, TRex - Louis sends his best
CTuttle @ 79
picky picky picky! :)
Suzanne @ 48
Good for you, Suz. Can they still afford polling?
Speaking of Jon Stewart, doesn’t he return tonight? Should I be rubbing my hands together gleefully in anticipation of the show starting in 10 minutes here on the west coast?
TeddySanFran @ 78
BTW-Novakula was WPITW today on KO!!! ;-)
TeddySanFran @ 78
I know Novak just wrote a book and that;s why his ugly mug is all over the teevee but just from my “gut” (thanks Cherty) I think he’s trying to assuage his guilt. He can’t stop talking about Rove and his leaking. Very weird. But predictable. See his interview on CSPAN, strange.
Suzanne @ 84
Josh Rushing is the guest, tonight on his new show. Who is Josh Rushing?
althespook @ 82
Excellent Post, err… Point!!! :P
Josh Rushing was a United States Marine Captain who was a press officer for United States Central Command (CENTCOM) during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. He became famous for his appearance in the documentary Control Room, which documented his conversations with Al Jazeera correspondent Hassan Ibrahim. After the Pentagon ordered him not to comment on the movie,[1] he left the Marine Corps and is now working for Al Jazeera English.
BigMitch @ 87
I think he’s the former US military spokesman who now works for Al Jazeera
BigMitch @ 69
Filling those fat Falwell pumps mighty prettily, Brownback is.
Good night to all. Jon Stewart is beckoning me, and then to sleep. Perchance to dream …. of impeachment.
CTuttle @ 88
It gets better. I left something out. Guess where the largest proven reserves of untapped crude oil are in the world?
Guess who has been busily arranging for sweetheart deals on tapping it if the middle east should go south??
Can you say, Bush Crime Family? I thought you could.
These guys are actually raping the world as we watch! The Chutzpah is just incredible…but the downside is if they fail, western civilization may vanish, and even if it doesn’t, THEY will.
No risk, no reward. I just wish they wouldn’t risk US on their lunatic schemes of empire…
althespook @ 77
I have the camera.
Loo Hoo. @ 94
Kewl! Can you contact her on facebook or via email? cause that’s the last piece of the puzzle!
My comment on Applebees’ website:
I am saddened at the direction this great country of ours is headed, spurred on by the likes of Bill O’Reilly and the hate he spews. I have just learned that you are a sponsor of his show and because of this I can no longer patronize your restaurants.
Not that I would eat there anyway, I used to work for a foodservice distributor so I know better.
wangdangdoodle @ 96
WDD, are you suggesting an american food restaurant chain is practicing anything other than the STRICTEST hygenic standards? I’m shocked, I tell you, Shocked!
I TOLD those dayam rats to wear the slippers and hairnets, but NOOOOOOO….
althespook @ 93
This must be what Nancy means when she says we don’t know the half of it.
I want to reply to this by althespook from the previous thread.
What I remember from the coverage of Tiannamen Square at the time pretty much squares with what you said but differs in some possibly interesting ways.
As you noted the central government brought in troops from the provinces. In the coverage I saw, the government sent those troops jogging unarmed through some place where they were confronted and lectured by the rebeling students. From the videos I saw, I’d describe the students’ demeanor as “condescending” and not particularly appreciated by those troops.
Later, in the opening engagement on the night of the msasacre, the government sent a lone armored vehicle into the square. It was surrounded by rebels, the driver was pulled from the vehicle and apparently killed by the demonstrators. Then the provincial forces were sent in.
The sociological dynamic was classical and very similar to any number of student demonstrations I’ve witnessed and what I imagine to have been involved at Kent state. Guys from one social group often resent those from another. It seems to be primal. Guys from farms often resent big-city guys, and guys from big cities often feel some superior to guys from “the sticks.” Students are often seen as particularly privileged and often see themselves are worthy of that privilege. The Chinese military commanders deliberately played to and exploited that dynamic. Once these troops saw the rebel students kill their comrad in the armored vehicle, the rest was almost inevitable. (That’s what I think I saw.)
Regarding the here-and-now in the U.S., I agree that the coup has already occurred and simply has not yet been announced — see http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/28/54615/1194 . There is, however, some question as to whether it will hold once rank-and-file Americans understand what has happened.
althespook @ 95
No it’s not. She needs the Kos registration ticket which just went up Saturday. I paid $225. way back when, don’t know what the new price is.
