ES!

DELBERT!

ES!

How’s it going?!

evening ES. Hi pups.

8-P! Aloha, ES!

Dang, it didn’t take the first time… 8-P

Whew! What a Friday, at work and here at FDL - I couldn’t keep up!

Howdy, Ma’am!

Hello, ES! This is on my mind cuz’ I’m listening to it right now. Stuart Duncan and all the best musicians in Bluegrass.

ES!

TexBetsy! How are the kids over in El Paso?

CT! Is the surf still up?!

Bill Moyers, anyone?

How are you feeling, Betsy?

I didn’t see it, Christine. Did you?

I am doing well. Feeling pretty good, thanks Loo Hoo.

The El Pasoans are doing just fine Matt.

that is sweet, loohoo!

Yes, we did. It was, I don’t know, mind blowing. I’m still kinda weeping, and yet very angry.

Neuro!

Madame Pele had a nice little hiccup that spewed some hefty rocks about…!

this is what i’m listening to tonight

Caught the second half.. get a hankie ready.

Any virgins handy?

I’ve got another hour and a 1/2 to go…!

Heh, wise guy, eh? ;-)

Ah, channel change! I get it now.

But wasn’t the end so awesome! Tomas Young has this record, Body of War out.

No spoilers now, sorry. Don’t forget to watch.

ES, how’s the water level?

Mosul is the new Fallujah.

-G

We are down to high water now..)

Don’t worry, I don’t miss my Fri. Nite PBS line up, and no such thing as spoilers with PBS! Unlike TDS and Colbert…! 8-)

good nite folks

Right now Brooks and Shields are opining, I can tolerate Shields at times, but, Bobo hasn’t been right for like, ever…! ;-)

Aloha, neuro!

Roads and bridges navigable? By car…?

Eureka Springs, my friend,
Please excuse me from saying, “Hello!.”

Brooke Shields on PBS?

Heh, that’d be nice! Easier on the eyes! 8-)

*waving to the leaving sleepy pups*

Most of them. Quite a few are washed out or have entire houses lodged underneath. The bridge below my house was about three feet under water and only half remains. At least we can drive across the remaining half.

are you unable to leave except by boat?

Please.. don’t fret. I am rather spacey myself this evening. I blame it on the Moonie book Bad Moon Rising I am trying to get through before tomorrows book salon.

Suz, did ya see this…

“Harry Potter”, “Chocolate Rain” win YouTube awards

So we have floods in the Midwest and volcanos looking for virgins in CT’s place, now tell me - where are the locusts?

I can drive out.. I think. *s* Will find out tomorrow.

Suzanne, tell me what is going on. I’m only online with FDL and FB.

Hi all. What’s on my mind is the day’s highlight for me which was being present at the Obama/Richardson campaign rally today in Portland. They sure raised the roof.

Best of luck, Mi Amigo!

christine, es was a hero helping flooded neighbors during the big storms this week

ct, ya gotta link?

This is really bad, and good luck.

off to bed but the second contractor involved in the passport snooping story is The Analysis Corporation per Raw Story The CEO of this company has donated $2300 to the Obama campaign back in Jan of 2008. As reported earlier, the CEO of Stanley, Inc is on record to have made a donation to the Clinton campaign in Feb of 2008.

I’m wondering how Nola and points further north will fare with the sheer volume of water headed their way…!

Oh gosh, thanks Suz. What the heck is going on here? We have snow and sleet.

here they are

Oops, sorry…

It looked good on TV. I thought it was striking that Richardson asked for Obama and Clinton to stop the fighting. He repeated that sentiment on the KO show in the evening. On that show, he also said that he had been very close to endorsing Clinton. Of course we can never know what the real motivations are, but he seemed to genuinely struggle with it.

Three cheers for ES!

Yea Betsy! Three cheers for ES!

naked dumbledore?

A puppet show version of “Harry Potter” featuring a naked Dumbledore and an enigmatic song called “Chocolate Rain” by a Minnesota graduate student were among the winners of YouTube’s second annual video awards, the Web site said on Friday.

I’m feeling so small…

Good evening everybody…

Evening ES, hope the flooding is receding.

Any of you here at this moment into silent movies and it’s stars??? Got a treat that will make you go nuts. Any interest???

I was surprised when I opened my inbox and saw the email from Richardson saying he endorsed Obama… I had thought he was in Hill’s camp!

why small christine?

Only with Clintons so he could watch superbowl with Bill and share chips and wings.

go ask alice?

I didn’t want to find out if it was true, but, I did like the Chocolate Rain…!

Yep.
But the tone and style of Senator Clinton’s campaign is making it that much easier for “faithful” to slip away.

rather, powerless. But so happy to have friends here. Thanks, Tex.

Funny, I’d thought that Bill would’ve been an excellent asset for Hill, but, he seems to have been more of a hindrance… Weird…

many voices together can be heard when one voice is not.

I felt like their interactions had VP overtones. They embraced on at least three different occasions and Richardson looked and sounded like he was exactly where he wanted to be.

I caught word that Richardson might be endorsing Obama at about 6am PST from the web but was floored at dawn about an hour later while standing in line that Richardson was IN Portland and would be endorsing in front of us. That was pretty exciting.

i think they are running a 90’s campaign in the 21st century and it does not work like it used to.

I watched a fair amount of Hardball tonight, and Tweety seemed to be getting it, for a change. It seemed like Obama’s speech made a big impression on him. What’s your impression?

Of course, Mark Penn hasn’t helped one Iota, either…! *g*

I also felt the VP vibe. Richardson was not one of my favorite candidates, so I would like Obama to look elsewhere first.

What was the experience like at the event? How many people were there?

Funny, I vowed to see Janis: “one pill makes you small…” I’m too old.

And, for Democrats, it didn’t use to work. ;-)

I thought Tweety had developed a new man-crush as soon as the speech was over…! Bwhahaha…

Thanks y’all. Really, I am more than alright.

Anyone remeber this song? Here Come the Girls

twas grace slick singing that.. she’s now an artist doing paintings down along the so cal coast iirc.

Agreed!

ES- you asked “what’s on your mind?” and I got something on my mind. But, it will take several paragraphs. Like, is Late Nite the venue for this? Like, it’s serious.

I had to skip him completely today. His intentional failure to place any context on Rev Wrights remarks this week,, nearly gave me high blood pressure.

Further, that seemed to be true for Scarborough too, but he got over it relatively quickly.

Did you misspell asshat?

-G

Well, folks, I tried.

Bonne nuit tout le monde.

It’s whatever you want it to be, VG.

But, did you see Chris Wallace’s stunning takedown of his own network’s thrashing of Obama? That was priceless…!!!

I agree, but he seems to have switched almost 180 degrees. Tonight he was bitching about Hagee. Really wierd.

Aloha, Quebecois!

do you have the youtube of it?

g’nite q

Brian Kilmeade too. He is usually pretty repulsivem but he walked out on Steve Douchy….err….Doocy after one too many Obama slams.

Strange days indeed.

-G

Whoops.. sorry Q, am lost in music and ready to ruffle Tweety feathers at the moment..) Just share the link and we will savor it soon enough.

Monday on FrontLine: Bush’s War.
Looks serious.

Olbermann mentioned it, but somehow in my channel surfing to the military channel I missed that part tonight. Damn!!

I love it!!!

Here’s a good one…

http://www.crooksandliars.com/.....a-bashing/

That was Grace Slick, not Janis.

Oh, please don’t give up! We are all trying to send a message to our friends, we need to pledge together.

By the way, can MSNBC lose the loop footage of Obama nibbling a chicken bone please?

-G

I watched, Chris.
Whatever I say can’t do it justice, so I won’t start.

Olbermann just started again. 3rd showing.

Night all.

Sleep well, Tex!

fridays - the night when there is no tds to conflict with the 3rd showing

pain free sleep wishes tex

Really! At least get some footage with meat on that bone.

Hey, Margot!

ha - i just noticed… richardson used some grecian formula on his hair and beard since the photo was taken of him and big dog watching the superbowl.

Quebecois,
please stay, I like silent films.

Oh boy, Carville is pissed!

“An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.

“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.

Whatever that snake has to say is so much yawn-inspiring drivel.
Useless twerp.
But his having indigestion is the bonus for me.

ouch

Damn, I wish he’d have just sobbed on Mary’s shoulder instead… *gah*

I heard estimates of 12-13k in attendance. I really dug the cool retro upbeat funk music being played and wondered it’s canned music they play everywhere. It definitely set a lively mood for an early friday morning.

The crowd was plain loud. The loudness really started with Richardson which kind of surprised me - likely a more raucous reception than he’s received anywhere in a long time.

There were numerous nuanced moments that felt right. I got a kick out one comment Obama made that gave me an idea for a good rebuttal to the Rev. Wright flap:

“with Obama as our president, we would be reverting back to a president who believes in science“

.

I owe my political education to FDL, and before that Brad Blog. What really drew me to FDL was the unusually high percentage of female voices, and the general lack of pissing matches.

w/o FDL, I don’t think I would have come as far as I have in terms of speaking out about politics, not only online, but out and and about. I feel so much more confident speaking out publicly about politics than I could have ever imagined. Empowering.

I recently had a great experience, but seemed no where appropriate to post it on a thread at FDL. And, this would have not been possible w/o my reading of FDL, and then DWT, and getting to know Howie, and his BA work.

http://downwithtyranny.blogspo.....bliss.html

I do wish there was some thread (again) where lurkers could come out, but also where people could also speak about the good things that have come about because of their participation in FDL.

The negative stuff is really getting me down. (course that’s not generally true at Late Nite.)

And maybe that’s why I find it more fulfilling to do various stuff for Howie, looking at House and Senate races, bec. there really is a shared enemy in terms of the nasty congresscritters that deserve to be taken down. I am just so tired of the Clinton bashing and the Obama bashing. Really, who we elect to House and Senate next time around seems every bit as important.
