Good evening ES… how are you this evening
Evening ES How ya doing tonight??
Good evening.
Hey there ES – how iz ya?
I’m fine katymine, thank you. My toobz are still dreadfully slow. How the heck are you doing?
KCD! You going to the big Speaker in tomorrow? Going to bring us a first hand report? *s*
Hi, Pups!
How is everyone?
FWDiva
{{{{{{{katymine}}}}}
How did Chemo Day go? Hope you’re feeling all right; good to see you here.
Hey Katy
What ES said!!
Sure hope you are doing well!!
Yessir! Got the word from Jane and a post at the Great Orange.
I’m in!
What I would LOVE is to jocky for a spot to get Polis on cam to take the pledge. Keep yer fingers crossed. [grinning and invoking the spirit of Mike Stark]
Oh, and it wouldn’t be bad to get maybe, um, some identical faces who have tea-bagged at other events.
Showing the faces of the crime syndicate tour would be kewl!
Aloha Ya’ll from the Mtn…! 8-)
Again…? Ya dirty dawg…! ;-)
Woof Woof ya Mt dweller!
Fantastic! Do you have a flip cam? DO you have good short questions composed?
How’s Cali doing these days… Still broke…? ;-)
Wow.. CT.. have not seen you in ages.
Any comets coming straight at us that we should know about? /s
ES !
Katymine !
CT ! How’s it goin’, eh ?
Last month all my runs coincided with Suz at the helm…! ;-)
How’s your wing doing… All mended…?
Aloha, Katy… Always a pleasure to see ya…! *g*
Oh yeah. I have a Sony Handy Cam
And I have very simple and short questions, really only one for Polis, which is “Will you take the pledge?”
For the birfer/deather crowd, I really only want to ask:
-Where ya from?
-Who here is on Medicare/Medicaid?
That ought to do it I think.
Well, there’s that ASSteroid that will hit Montana sometime this month …
Dood…! Throw anybody else over Niagra Falls…? ;-)
…With Baucus’s house being ground zero…? /s
Still waiting for Pennies from Heaven
Natch ! Tomorrow a group of Michiganders are coming, but they are really, really nice people.
That idjit ticked me off, ranting on and on about dumb Canadians & dumb Americans … I just remembered one of my fav mottos, “This too shall pass !” and exhaled.
*sigh* I truly hope they’ll let us listen sometime from their ‘puters…!
The Baucus belt is brutal, I hear.
OMG … Billie Holiday !
OK, Pups
BBL for TDS and Colbert!
FWDiva
That too … I was thinking of Palin’s Cometh !
Much better, going to attempt to mow my lawn this week (Man it’s TALL)… I can only get out of my kayak on one side. LOL
Ciao, FWD !
I await with bated breath, M’dear…! 8-)
Shit that wasa a really old Billie Holiday circa 1937… sigh…
Hey, but it’s REALLY GOOD!
Suck that sigh back up, hunny! :)
Speaking of which… WTF is this…
I thought this was a given already…
Hey, if’n you have a gay marriage, you want it validated. Between the moose shootin’ and the field dressing and the snoMObile running, I’m sure the Palin’s are quite gay. Brokeback Barrow, yes?
Haven’t you noticed Sarahs Adams Apple?
She NEEDS validatin’. Also.
Oh Noes ya just didn’t…! ;-)
Shouldn’t Palin be out there.. overseas, getting her passport stamped and chit?
Yes. Also.
I leapt the Great Denali.
All the giant frost heaves. Pretty.
And the land.
The tent? Not so much.
But Todd likes it.
I tweet, therfore I guv.
Mkay?
Thanks.
It means that the Toddster has a Gag order on his ass !
And Hawaii doesn’t count, Sarah.
This is a novel new use of the National Guard…
Are ya sure it’s not a foreign land…? Or rather can she see me up here…? ;-)
My sweeties everyone in a while will sing for My Funny Valentine
But shit I can’t find it recorded by Billie…
Dammit – you’re right! I can’t find on instance of Billie actually singing it. How wierd!
Audio of “My Funny Valentine” – Billie Holiday with Louis Armstrong
What a voice !
Just sayin’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related
This is insane…
I noticed it’s becoming a trend… Here’s another example …
WTF is in that Kool Aid…?
As long as she doesn’t find yer telescope and declare she can see the Philippines from there.
It’s the brown shirt blend.
Really! So many others but no Billie (:>((
Um … Hawaiian Punch ?
Brother, we’re not broke, but we’re badly bent . . . *G*
Mahalo, ya homebuilder, you! *wave*
nnnnnyeh, smahtass!
FWDiva
I’m back, didja miss me?
So I got an invitation from Obama For America this week. In it it says:
find out how you can get active in working to pass health insurance reform in your community
Petro, I’m sorry but that is NOT Billie Holiday. I’d know her voice anywhere, and the clip you lilnked is from the “Talented Mr. Ripley” soundtrack – which has some decent tunes but no originals.
No, I’m afraid we’re still on the hunt for Funny/Billie!
Alors!
NIAGRA FALLS?!?!?!?!
That’s fine and dandy, but, what is this noise…
White House Affirms Deal on Drug Cost
…Pressed by industry lobbyists, White House officials on Wednesday assured drug makers that the administration stood by a behind-the-scenes deal to block any Congressional effort to extract cost savings from them beyond an agreed-upon $80 billion.
Sorry, I thought it was her. I’ve heard other fakes, which were Ella and others.
Saw that but still no Billie… thanks petro will listen when I have an account there…
Oops… The NYT Linky didn’t catch…
Kelly says that’s not Billie. I’ll let you know if I find her version.
Oh, man. TDS…
It’s no wonder I NEVER EVER watch CNN!
Holy Feck!
FWDiva
ELLA! FAKE! SAME COMMENT!
Fie on you. Fie Fie Fie!
Ella Fitzgerald is the kindest and smartest Manchurian singer I have ever known.
Summertime Billie Holiday
But this one is just fine… Well at least it is about this season….
Remember (see downstairs) – you may have to explain to them who runs Medicare and Medicaid.
You may have missed that part of that thread, Kelly.
Finally, some good news from Iraq…
Sorry, that came out wrong … I meant that someone had labeled Ella’s version as if it was sung by Billie.
Oh I love that! Slowly I turned…step by step…
:) Hey, she’s still the kindest, smartest, bravest….
Ok I’ll give up on that schtick.
I will never forget that skit by them!!
My contempt for this White House crew continuously finds new lows.
Maybe these tea baggers are doing us a favor? (For the wrong reasons… but a favor nonetheless)
Hey, peeps: are you sure Billie ever sang “My Funny Valentine?”
I’ve been looking for a copyright date – the only one that seems to be a copyright date shows 1964. If that’s right, and Billie died in 1959….of course, 1964 may be late for the composition; not sure.
Well this is what I’m facing for the next hour at the bottom of the hour…
If you click on the ‘web cams’ in the left sidebar you can see what’s outside… It was a gorgeous sunset and the Moon is spectacular too…! 8-)
Arguin about Ella v. Billie is like arguin about Bloomfield v. Bishop and who had the best chops on East/WEst.
Everyone of any musical taste knows Bloomfield ruled. *G*
Bishop was on of the greatest rhythm gits, who played solo’s, ever . . . . and of course, he’s still alive. And his bands post Butterfield were great . . . *G*
Course, so was Electric Flag . . . definitely on MY list of great 60’s rock vinyl. *G*
Speaking of unforgettable skits …
Lower n the previous 8 to 30 years? How low do they have to go to get THAT low?
I saw her once.. San Francisco Opera House.
Unbelievable.
Has Any Pups Posted THIS Linky For Billie?
Is it her? *smilessweetly*
You know who I always thought was underrated? Sara Vaughn, early
Sara Vaughn, late
Went to the “Official” Billie Holiday site and under the songs she recorded there is no “Fumy Valentine” listed…
I will have to let my sweetie know… she has already crawled off to sleepy time…
Hey you old fart…! Ya gonna be around in an hour…?
Did you mean one of those webcams in particular?
Anyway, I’m guessing it’s another lovely night in “Paradise,” as Thomas Magnum used to say.
So hot here today I stayed in till nearly sundown. Still 85 degrees at 12:30 when I took out the garbage.
Hotter where katymine is, I know.
Hey, katymine, are you still here?
Ella? Got to see her two times . . . Bay Area Jass Fests at Oakland Stadium ‘71 and ‘72, I think. Blurry now, but I look to her clips, and listen to her music . . . and it comes rushing back . .
The Best. Evah. In one set. Or two sets.
Pure Royalty. Like The Duke. Pure Royalty.
Ella, pipes galore . . . bless her.
Not likely hoss . . . . sandman’s got his clutches on me . . . fading fast . . *G*
Need my email?
Gemini’s and Keck’s are the best ones…! ;-)
See ya’ll in an hour… If not, Caio…! *g*
It took 24 hours for me to load and review ten youtubes for tonight’s post.. So sorry, i won’t be able to listen to links tonight.
But I absolutely love her… and never heard anyone who doesn’t. What makes you think she is / was underrated?
Under-rated is probably not the right term. Not as popular as say, Billie or Ella. And I can’t figure out why. Folks I know can name Ella and Billie in a heartbeat, but they never seem to know Vaughn’s name.
Perplexes me, but maybe it’s just the people I know.
Hmmm, now I’m not sure what song pops up in my #82 linky . . . oh well . . . she’s got a voice, don’t she . . ;-)
Hey, nahant – if you saw my post guessing the song was written in 1964 – that’s wrong. Finally found this saying it was written for a 1937 show called “Babes in Arms.” This page also says it got so common
Found some interesting links while looking that up.
Yup!!
G’nite friends ! I’ll be busy with my
guestspests for a few days so y’all have a great weekend !Me also been all over the web looking for Funny Valentine…
Ohhhhh – now I get it!
And a ciao and buenas noches (buona notte??) to y’all, now.
KellyCDenver – you be careful out there tomorrow. but bring back the pix for us all to see!
Have fun Petrocelli.
Will do!
I’m trying to channel Mike Stark as I type this :)
Adios Petro!
Dude-check out #50.
Still can’t find it but here is a link to a nice version by Chaka Khan
Nite Petro don’t forget 10-10
Hi fell asleep on the sofa…… it was 112 today……. the car was too hot to touch….
Well, Pups
Thanks for the excellent company!
See y’all tomorrow!
FWDiva
better have a sturdy CUP
ROFL!
Hey, will my tinfoil suffice? :)
heading out to bed….. good night everyone….. gee my hands went numb curled up on the sofa…..
Jeeezus.. 112. I don’t know how you do it.
You know, I miss my honey while he’s out on a mission; worthy, he’s signing papers and stuff and we’re moving the folks out here, which is a whole post at the Seminal in a while.
But what is cool is I can play my music LOUD with NO HEADPHONES! Ahhhh…
Hopefully and we do want pictures!! don’t let the Pukes take over the meeting!! Make sure you let them know the Real Majority want the Public Option DAY ONE!!
nite (((Katy))) Sleep well..
The Pledge, The End.
I get it nahant, and I’ll do my best.
It’s one liberating part of living in the country far from neighbors.
Well, pups.. I’m fading fast.
Good night..)
Nite((Katy))
nite ES
Just like any good DFH!!
Well time for me to Bail ..
Another visit to Stanford in the am
Nite good Pups!!
Bon Nuit ES – thanks for all your support; I appreciate it.
I should not take a shower and grab some patchouli on the way, yes?
Perhaps I will. >)
Good evening. I’m also researching my beloved Blue Dog and his invisible being. Looked on his website and no town halls scheduled. Did find the name of the person responsible for his Healthcare section of his web. God, he’s such a wanker!!! ” Tell me your health care stories…”.
What better way to spend your time than writing posts for a Blue Dog to edit?.!
He needs to be fired. The invisible ones are the dangerous ones. Rick Larsen,Wa. District 2.
Never had to answer for a single Repug vote. Ever.
That’s sad… We did elect one Bluedog(Ed Case) to fill Patsy Mink’s seat upon her demise… We then promptly ousted his sorry arse the next cycle and put in Mazie Hirono a current Co-Chair of the Progressive Caucus…! ;-)
Sadly, Ed is rearing his ugly head up again, now he wants to fill Hawaii’s other Rep seat, Neil Ambercrombie’s, who’s running for Guv….

Sometimes you’re just in the mood for mildly amusing photographs that were never meant to offend anyone, and yet there’s a fatwa out now. It’s coming out in paperback in September, and the movie is due out at Chrismukkawanzadan.
