TSF!

Teddy!

Hola, teddy!

Glad to see there are no bloody noses or broken beer steins on the floor from the SB.

Snoopy dance!

i haven’t been keeping track of the the endorsements

Good on Maria for this endorsement.

According to dday at Dkos, who attended this event, Michelle Obama’s speech was quite progressive. That makes me feel a bit better.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....321/449187

So as I mentioned on last thread, lunch tomorrow with Charlie Rangel. Jane sez I should ask him about dinner conversations with Alma, as he’s supporting H & she’s endorsing O.

Teddyguy!

Ahnold gets behind McCain, and Mrs Ahnold backs Obama. Life in the governor’s mansion is probably pretty interesting these days.

Teddy, I can’t remember Maria making any endorsements while she’s been CA First Lady. My sense is that she’s tried to be the non-confrontational spouse, and let Ahnold do the endorsing and the politicking. Have I missed something, or is she starting to enjoy a bit of lame-duck freedom and telling the governator’s GOP handlers to stuff it?

*waving weakly from her chair*

I’m still sick, got some cough suppressant from the Doc, and at the moment only staying upright seems to make it go away entirely. Still weak as a kitten though. No work for me tommorrow whether i like it or not.

Good to see the endorsements still coming. We do need hope, right now. Hope and the promise that we can do something better.

At least htey’re on the same team. Unlike Carville & Matalin.

Teddy has asked that the Moderators pull any and all sports chatter on this thread due to the bruhaha downstairs during Siun’s thread.

We will be doing so.

Or Ahnold & Mrs. Ahnold.

i haven’t been keeping track of the the endorsements

And I’ve lost track of the polls. How’s it looking in CA? (saw one earlier today, but I couldn’t make out which which was popular vote, and which was expected delegates)..

Anyone? trends?

My mom sent me 4 different emails today to make sure I saw this … as she said, that’s a mighty good group of women on that stage!

Did it get dicey down there?

The Kennedy family endorsements are thought to be push back against Hillary’s comment about LBJ and civil rights. JFK’s record on civil rights is a problem for the Camelot mythology. Joejr and Bobby were the stars of that family.

So sorry alias. If it’s what I had, and it sounds like it from last night’s description, you’ll be down for a week. Sleep is the best thing. And mustard plaster to the chest.

*waves back* Hope you feel better soon.

I bet it pissed her off when Ahnold endorsed Crazy Man McCain. Remember when McCain went on off Maria when she tried to interview him in 2000. I think it was right after Super Tuesday, when he was vanquished by a Chimpanzee! I think she asked him “How does it feel…..”? She is getting even. The way certain media outlets fawn all over Obama lure celebrities to the foot lights like moths to a flame. too bad endorsements do not an election make.

Hello, everyone. I found this speech quite inspiring. It reminded me of some of Christy’s really great writing about how we can find our voice and be the folks we’ve been waiting for. Although I am undecided about the remaining Democrats (and have already voted for JRE) I sure would like to know how Arnold and Maria’s phone conversations are going today.

Do you suppose Dick Cheney is listening in?

I see you’re wearing your discipline outfit tonight.

**removes fingers from both ears** Hey teddy, How about Mrs. Rangel? Let’s hope she wrangles Charlie into her court. *g*

Unlike Carville & Matalin.

That’s kind of an unfair comparison. AFAIK, there is nothing, or no one, couples or otherwise, that can be compared to Carville and Matalin.

Or I at least hope to gawd that’s the case…

Separate bedrooms, I would wager.

I had completely forgotten about McCain’s rudeness to Maria in 2000, brian99c! (searching YouTube….)

Polls are all over the place. We’re going to have to wait for the actual votes to come in. :)

It should be very exciting and probably a long night.

I’d like to see Michelle Obama and the Big Dog in a debate.

I think it was Craig Crawford who suggested that Alma Rangel would not have made her endorsement without her husband’s blessing, in a very chauvinistic way. Perhaps CAHN could ask Charlie if he approved her endorsement and is hedging his bets?

Hi Suzanne -

I doubt you’ll have any problems. It’s all over and done with.

Craig Crawford has been weirder than usual recently …

but I do like Maria Shriver’s voice … good stuff!

McCain is sounding more and more arrogant as the days go on. I am going to be sick and tired of his ‘mu friends’ schtick too.

It’ll be fun to see the GOPers forced to get behind him and then corkscrew out of their chairs when he starts dodging back to the center.

I just don’t get it. I could even date someone I wasn’t compatible with on politics, let alone marry them.

I’m already on day two. Without work i’ll likely have two more days to get over this, since i think i’d been scheduled with tuesaday off this work week. Time enough to recover, and then treat myself very gingerly while i recover the rest of the way and work. Mostly i’m concentrating on trying to break this gorram fever and not cough up a lung.

waving back, thanks.

I think he’s got a broken foot and is drinking alot in recovery or soemthing. He looks flushed and ruddy and definately doesn’t seem as lucid as he used to be.

Perhaps CAHN could ask Charlie if he approved her endorsement and is hedging his bets?

Chollie playing it safe and hedging his bets?

Surely you jest…

Michelle Obama sounds great from this little introduction. I’ve heard it said that she is a terrific speaker.

Preview, meet wangdang. Wangdang, meet preview.

…couldn’t date…

Crawford has been really strange. I’m wondering about his health. (and hope he is well)

I think he does have a serious health problem. He always sounds “breathie” when I see him on KO.

And his speech patterns are bizarrely affected. I can’t stand listening to him.

Right. It’s like trying to date someone of a completely different religion if you’re a religious person.

Sangemon … look for some videos of her … she’s really something else!

dark chocolate reportedly more effective against coughs than codeine. I kid you not.

He reminds of Don Knotts.

-G

THAT’s why i never coough!

I thought it was fascinating that Maria talked about her daughter asking her to make a difference today, if she could. Just like Caroline’s children talked her into her endorsement. America’s children are reaching out to try to save Irak’s children from the madman McCain.

Exactly. If.

;)

I wish I’d known that last week. Sounds way better than mustard plaster.

Here is Soledad O’Brien’s recent CNN interview with Michelle Obama.

yes they are.

remember how i got here?

Thank you Suzanne (no dive?)

Teddy has asked that the Moderators pull any and all sports chatter on this thread due to the bruhaha downstairs during Siun’s thread.

Is it OK to discuss the Carville / Frist ad that aired tonight? It made me sick.

Didn’t know people still did mustard plaster. My granny used them on me when I was a child. They worked.

That’s it!!!

Thank you, I can stop trying to place it now.

Whew!

America’s children are reaching out to try to save Irak’s children from the madman McCain.

That’s about the most wonderful thing I have read this year.. Imagine.. it might be true.

I went to pee and missed it. What was it about, or for?

Um, don’t think that’s how I can frame the Q.

does sports snack count as sports chatter? if so, i’ll bake something new.

I noticed that too … I know my daughter has made me look more carefully … and I think seeing the world also a bit through her eyes makes a difference

Here’s Crawford today, writing about Romney trying to be like Obama.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin on how to make a mustard plaster. It seems that sitting up helps the coughing stay away. I just can’t sleep like this. Which is going to make tonight fun again. Ugh.

Like I said, it’s Pepsi for me from here on.

Let us not, please. Thanks.

Begin with mustard?

sorry, teddy, i was issuing your request instead of a dive tonight and it feels too late to do so now

ask teddy - his thread

I would pay LOTS O MONEY for a front row seat at THAT event!! Am I supposed to care what some rich never,worked a DAY in her life,professional relative of the Kennedy’s thinks about ANYTHING?! What, is it her superior judgement in men I’m supposed to admire? How bout Chief Wilma Mankiller endorsinf Hillary Clinton?! Now THERE’S a woman who’s had to fight tooth and nail for everything she’s EVER had against UNBELIEVABLE odds with the good ol boyz network. And she’s looked at the candidates and thinks Ms. Clinton has what it takes. So let me go over this again…the opinion of a trophy wife/poodle or a hard working, ground breaking woman of strength. Hmmmm, seems kinda like a no brainer ta me!

Hey Teddy! Not was Maria on the stage , but her cousin Caroline and even Oprah…

Scroll down to #37. Better yet, chocolate. :)

If you haven’t yet read it, Susan Eisenhower, Ike’s granddaughter, endorses Obama. Another well-spoken woman for Obama.

I meant not only Maria…

Heh, Stevie Wonder to boot…

What is a mustard plaster, anyway?

Sounds very 19th century.

See my #74.

Seeing the hopeful faces — mostly women’s — in that crowd for Michelle gave me great hope.

I’m not following you, wangdangdoodle…

Have you noticed that Obama seems to have given up HOPE. There are only CHANGE signs in the crowd. Hope and Change have given way to just CHANGE.
Just hope its not loose change.

I have nothing whatsoever to say about any sporting event today.

So, who is everybody supporting on Tuesday (those of you who vote or caucus then)?

Teddy, what’s with the Grizzly for ya icon? I thought ya were cute and cuddly…? *g*

Obama/Gore?

I’m not surprised, I see two posts have #74 (at this moment).

It’s a blend of 1 part ground up mustard seed and 2 parts flour. Get it wet, spread it on a piece of damp cloth and put it on your chest. Draws out the yuckies.

Careful though, you can blister yourself with it. Don’t leave it on to long and check it often. I looked like a red-breasted robin when I was done.

Although I was just hoping they weren’t going to have an altar call. Getting a little too religious for me. Obama is fine, but not the second coming. I have had my fill of people who think with their gut.

Apply a warm mustard poultice to thee afflicted parts. Pray often.

-Goody Proctor

P.S.

Drudge has a creepy teaser up:

American military in Iraq were authorized to pursue former members of Saddam’s government, terrorists across Iraq’s borders into Iran and Syria… Developing…

Gore ain’t gonna go for #2

Obama/Hamsher /s

teddy, is saying that one is not saying anything about a sporting event in fact saying something and should i have the mod squad pull those too?

Hamsher/Obama?

Michelle Obama’s “Be Not Afraid” speech in Iowa was really good.

Hamsher/Hardin Smith

Dem race seems to be a dead heat. Both candidates seem pretty strong to me. Read a great piece in the New Yorker about Clinton yesterday. I already voted for Edwards- so it’s wait and see time.

Here’s a non-Drudge link about that story:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....292/449224

Suzanne, I meant no offense. That was actually meant as an endorsement of the prevailing policy. *g*

My totem is a pic I took of one of our very cuddly grizzly girls at the SFZoo.

Ha! Exactly my thought as I hit submit.

“Do one thing every day that scares you”

I think I’ve got the month of February pretty much taken care of.

Here is a link that tells you how to make a mustard plaster.
Looks like you have to be really careful not to burn yourself with the plaster.

i was not singling you out, neuro. there have been others.

No sports posts or no-sports posts, sport!

Righto. Don’t taze me, bro!

thank you teddy, otherwise, i’m left open to being called a sports hating bitch.

a decidedly non-Giants, non-sports, non-football snack.

I must confess. My Snoopy dance at #6 was not for Maria endorsing Obama.

Guilty. Guilty as charged.

OK.
We are now done talking about talking about sports.

i’m going to attempt to sleep again. This time sitting upright. I might be back later if it doesn’t work.

sleep well, alias *holding hand on monitor and sending ya warm positive healing thoughts*

Best, alias.

Is it OK to mention George Orwell?

Still looking for signs of political life in the Bay Area. Saw one Obama bumper sticker and encountered an Obama table with one enthusiastic supporter at the local shopping center. That’s it, you would hardly know there’s an important election coming up in 2 days.

Heeeeey guys.

What’s on your minds tonight?

ron paul signs all over the santa cruz mountains, eg.

sleep well alias.

Oh oh.

Am at a complete loss about what to do re PAA/FISA tomorrow.. We need to act up and act loud or….
