redeemed the gray suit.

It looks EXCELLENT with the blue shirt and tie!

Please, Keith, THIS combo from now on with it! No more white gridded shirts and neutral striped ties!

Great picture, Clark!

I'll be jumping on and off tonight -- running back and forth between AI in one room, KO in another and the computer in yet a third.

Great follow-up to Keith again kicking butt and refusing to sit down and accept the crap about the Newsweek story.

27. Hi to all!
Edited on Tue May-17-05 08:06 PM by Patsy Stone
I'm here and watching, but I'm still a bit behind on current events here since we get very little airplay over there. I did, however, hear all about that guy KO just showed who doesn't or won't speak but sat down and played piano for hours. The big news in the UK was the buyout of Manchester United by Malcolm Glazer.

Glad to be home! Just watching the Galloway video, and I've read the latest blogs and Good for KO! (who kicked ass) in his call for Scotty to step down.

I'll be around, but I'm not into posting much. Nice to see you all!

Cheers!

Everyone in these shots is a friend of mine, except this Court TV woman. Don't know her.

Keith - if you wanted an interview with someone there, you should have written. I could get you one in about two seconds.

Steve Marshall.

The cop was Lynn Wilhoite - investigator was Rene Kendall (both males). Prosecuter was Al Schmutzer.

54. I doubt they're going to do any more with this story
or I would.

Keith gave more press to it than I've seen anywhere else. It does have interesting implications, but most news outlets report only in a vacuum these days. Keith's the only one that asks that "one-step further" question.

Ramzey is loving this animal segment, btw. :7

70. For the first time in a while, Whirls, we disagree on something!
Not how I see it...not at all.

The glory of Keith is that he can hit the hard news with both guns blazing...and still have time for the goofy stuff.

As has been said, he takes the news seriously...but not himself.

It's wonderful. *sigh*

84. Sure, he does that stuff better than anyone else, but this new segment ...
. . . makes no sense to me. As he said last night, it's warmed-over clips they've already shown.

Who asked for this? The whole thing sounds unnatural and forced. A parody of itself. :thumbsdown:

85. I think he brings more new writing to the Hall of Fame segments
than he does to the Top 5 Stories of the Week, which is really nothing but warmed-over Oddball segments from the whole week, served as leftovers.

It may not be "Salute to the State of Florida" caliber, but it's close. In my opinion, anyway. :-)

Bay Airs, Gulls, Tranq. darts, on the run, he also dropped a viking boat
snark too the other day.

posted ..... no doubt.

83. OK, I'll even say Hi to KO again...
...but really, I am still tapping my foot waiting for a shout having to do with cheeseburgers.

Preferably with Canadian cheddar.

But what do you wanna bet that if he does one, he'll specify WISCONSIN cheese? And I'll be left again saying "Damn, one way or another that Rev gets ALL the shouts!"

Peace. Now more than ever.

Peace. Back by popular demand.

61. "Peace" was Dave Garroway's signoff.
Edited on Tue May-17-05 08:52 PM by WhirlyGirl
. . . He wuz pretty hip, too.

Keith even put his hand up when he said it, the way Garroway did.

there was a reason he added that signoff.

I'm wondering if it's going to be a permanent thing.

(Hey, it's either that or "Keep your knees loose." :-))

91. I checked to see if perhaps it was...
. . . the anniv. of Garroway's birth or death; but it just looks like Garroway's another TV paleo-personality Keith wishes to recognize -- like Huntley & Brinkley with the Beethoven's 9th opening, and Edw. R. Murrow in his usual sign-off.

75. No, I don't think so.
I don't think we have seen the end of oil-for-food (for one thing, Galloway's just too much of a personality--and a forceful and opinionated one--to just fade away into nothing) or even the Newsweek story.

It may look dark for Newsweek now, but something tells me that someone, somewhere, has either a picture of a Koran being dumped in a toilet, or of one being dumped into a bucket somewhere being USED as a toilet.

And one of these here days, it's gonna emerge.

It will be called a staged fake by many, of course. But it will be real. As real as last year's pictures from Abu Ghraib.

That kind of item, once it has been so thoroughly denounced as even *existing* by so many people, has a funny way of turning up. Because if it does, it will blow the lid off a whole lot. So there are going to be certain people who are going to make a point of seeking it out.

That's the one good thing to come out of all this posturing.

94. Here for the re-air at least for a few.
Was feeding Gizzimoto during the first show. He wishes I wouldn't shout at Scottish men. Spent the day at hardware / home supply stores with the hub for him to decide to go where I wanted to in the first place tomorrow. Was worn out and exasperated so spent some calm time feeding poor little starving Gizmo and thinking of how I shouldn't hurt a man for being a frustrating man. But did get 3 red rhododendrons and an oleander and cherry tomato plants...which I have been having an awful time finding. So wasn't a complete waste.

Sorry to hear about Roo, thanks for letting us know Sparks. I hope there is something they can to help him get better. Big hugs to Rev.

DU and not me. t is crawling intermittantly between full out stalls. I understand if you give up on it, I'm about ready too. But a bright hello and yes they are and not sure they are quite cute enough to overcome the frustrating eventually. He dragged me into a Home Depot, where I refuse to spend money.

Well will say grovelbot isn't getting my money uintil DU is working right again. But he will eventually get it.

102. One thing weird about tonight's...
. . . thread was that when the show was over, everybody just quit posting. There were no see you tomorrows, or I gotta go water my plants, or anything like that.

Just silence all at once.

Made me wonder if I should go look out the window for whatever everyone went to see. Perhaps the mother ship. Never did find out.

Then the site went down.

118. Evangelist Joyce Meyer is based in St. Louis.
she rakes in millions every month. The Post Dispatch published a series on her empire so she took out a full page ad in the Post complaining of media bias! Supposedly giving expensive homes to her family and friends is what God wants her to do in his name. They showed her ministry's inner circle forming a prayer circle on tv and one woman had a mink coat on.

121. There's some sort of sect called...
. . . "dominion" Christians, or something similar to that, who believe that God rewards your gifts to the church (tithing) by returning them to you tenfold.

I always thought the Bible was talking about spiritual rewards, but that's not what these guys believe.

Incidentally, I catch Joyce Meyer sometimes while channel-surfing early in the morning and I find most of her teaching on the levelheaded and practical side. Of course, the last 5-min. consists of a pitch pre-recorded in her study. But I've never heard her say anything not in keeping w/ Scripture, as far as I understand it.

She used to be an alcoholic and (according to her) also quite a nasty person, and turning to religion helped her. And the woman knows how to dress, doesn't she? She's got some pretty suits.

that you can dl to you picture folder to view on your computer. I am going to head to bed, Giz has a vet appointment in the morning for bloodwork. He seems to be feeling betters still and eating more and more. I even reconnected his cage to the big one so he can sleep with his mates. Have a great night and day tomorrow. Tell Mr. W hello. Hugs to you both.

117. I'm not sure if he likes as much...
. . . goofy stuff as he reported tonight. It was a bit heavy on the Oddball/animal stories, IMO.

I'd rather have my news leavened w/ a little humor, rather than humor leavened with a bit of news. But I could be in the minority here; the network is heavily promoting the screwball side of Countdown -- so whaddo I know? :shrug:

125. Didn't mean to pop out so quickly
But I was just beat. I also had laundry to retrieve from the dryer and knew I just could not tarry very much longer.

I don't know. All I can say is, again it seemed to me that this night was one of Keith's *heavier* news nights. I did not see him being overwhelmed or undignified in any way, or really making any panderings to sweeps. I thought it was a great show with a lot of hard news up front and hit hard...unlike the times when musings on the Runaway Bride were the #5 leadoff story, for example.

One thing I'm curious about...last week's (and the week before's) "Keith Tells You the Top 5 Things You Didn't Know About ________" theme seems to have gone the way of all flesh before it was even executed once. It's as if they just sort of dropped that idea altogether in favor of the puppet auction/Hall of Fame tack. And that after having promo'ed it heavily. Wonder why.

Anyway, I have NO complaints about Keith now. He's reporting hard, he's blogging hard. A few silly animal stories here and there aren't going to do jack to ruin his credentials, the way I see it. And I *like* seeing that side of him. It's part of why I watch.

Of course, I speak only for myself.

126. Well, at the end of the day & when all is said and done...
. . . there's no such thing as a bad Countdown show. (And you know, I just realized one has to be very careful when typing "Countdown.")

We may argue about the precise perfect ratio of funny to serious, but we all agree that Keith is the coolest, the bravest, the handsomest, the funniest, and just the greatest -- no matter what they decide to put on Countdown on any given night!
