Herman Cain’s probable final campaign theme song.
Oh I feel old.
I see him on Yo Gabba Gabba now.
Dear Ravishing, Freakin’ Stunning, I bow to your beauty, Chips; I worship you. (seriously…your radiance did blind me…now I can’t see how pretty you are and have to rely on my oh-so-reliable memory…I mean who could forget someone as Gorgeous as thou?) (plus there was no ‘reply’ button on your post, so here I am clear on this thread begging for mercy.)
Night, sweetie.
🙂
Let me just say, Tien, while your writing is remarkably wonderful and accurate, mere words cannot do justice to the beauty that is Chipsticks.
+ 1,000,000,000

Happy to help.

At some point next month the inevitable list of Top 10 (fill in the blank) of the Year lists will begin appearing. If there is a Top Ten Tweets of the Year list, I’ll vote for this one:
“Oh? The Police are treating you badly? Violent for no reason? Weird.” – Black People
@elonjames
Yes, could very well be #1 I’m thinking…
I saw that and would vote for it, too!
I retweeted it and put it on my fb. So true.
Saw that tweet and absolutely concur!
Obama stopped first at the regal Upper East Side residence of Jack Rosen, chairman of the American Jewish Congress. A Keith Haring fresco and an abundance of original modern artwork hung from the walls of the townhouse, where about 30 people gathered for the event.
Rosen, a prominent Jewish donor, vouched for Obama’s record on Israel.
“As you know many in the Jewish community are concerned” about the U.S. relationship with Israel, Rosen acknowledged. But, he added, “America’s never been as supportive to the state of Israel” than during Obama’s administration.
Obama, who has upset some American Jews with his stance toward Israel in the Middle East peace process, echoed Rosen: “We don’t compromise when it comes to Israel’s security.”

Straight reporting, no snark! Amazing!
FINALLY, I refresh and get the new post – and I see you’ve softened the visual by putting POTUS ahead of moorely – SMART MOVE Chipsticks!
Well GGail, after ruining everyone’s day with the Callista pic, I thought it would be exceedingly cruel to start a new post with Moorely Taitz 😆
U R soooooo smart – madam dictator 🙂
And thank you for the YUMMY pics of POTUS on the previous thread.
Remember the guy who sent me that awful email full of total lies about health reform? Chips and some others helped me find links/info to give him facts. Well, I just saw on FB he Shared: Obama Jobs Plan: Tax Increase on Job Creators (Heritage Foundation). I am not responding in any way—am ignoring it. The ironic thing is that I had JUST shared a picture that says: “Never look down on somebody unless you’re helping him up” and this same guy ‘liked’ it immediately. He doesn’t even see the irony. 😦
He sounds willfully blind. Better to move on to informing and educating those who have open minds and want to learn.
The President lights the National Christmas Tree tomorrow …. a year ago:
Beautiful videol, I love the picture of POTUS and his Sasha.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad photo of the President, but the current second photo makes me think he must have been thinking of Republicans!
lol it’s exactly what I thought Jacqueline, he must have been thinking of Republicans.
Ok that picture of Moorely Taitz is too hilarious,
I’m sure he was talking about the Repubs insisting that the wealthy don’t pay their fair share.
However, Politico is going to do something opposite with that pic. POLITICO HEADLINE (with pic) “Obama regrets having a 15-year adulterous affair with Michelle’s best friend.”
I think the President is Michelle’s best friend, so I think we’re ok with that headline. 😉
WHO IS POLITICO?
So Chips, I finally show up for the party and YOU are saying ‘G’night’?! Fine, if that’s the way you feel! 😉 Sweet dreams! Me, I’m going to see what you’ve all been saying this afternoon.
My eyes! “Moorely Taitz” LOLLLLL!!!!
That was freaking hilarious. I believe it was making the rounds on twitter and delighting sane people who realize what an ambulance chaser Michael Moore is.
Michael Moore never looked better. I see he has gone blonde.
This is MY President!!!
Okay, I voted for Moorely Tates! heh Not really the Desert Shadows. Take care everyone.
🙂 🙂 🙂
I just saw Ron Pauls ad on Newt OMG!! life is soo good right now…I’m loving all the drama!!
ok, this rocks 🙂
YES! And across America every smart mother and/or father, tells their child “This is what you look for in a mate — one that lifts you up, has your back; compliments you; respects you; loves you unconditionally…”
I LIKE this caption! Just saying 😛 Thanks Ms Chips.

The first family attends the National Christmas Tree Lighting. Obama delivers remarks.
Is the Christmas tree lighting carried on any network?
No- perhaps Cspan at 1am in the morning, might replay it.
Other than that, the media only parrots what the RNC emails them throughout the day, and those eMails does not include x mas tree lights!
I believe thenationaltree.org will be streaming it live online
Watch it online — http://www.thenationaltree.org/
Online and On-Demand
This year, experience the magic of the National Christmas Tree Lighting any time you want without ever leaving your home. Watch the pre-show and tree lighting ceremony starting at 4:30 pm ET on December 1. And following the live online stream, the show will be available anytime on-demand right here at http://www.thenationaltree.org.
Broadcast
In partnership with WETA, Washington, D.C.’s flagship public broadcasting station, public television stations nationwide will begin airing the 2011 National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on Friday, December 2 and continue throughout the holiday season. Viewers are invited to check for local airdates or check their local public station schedules for broadcast dates and times.
I know he’s polling 1-2% but how can Huntsman with his “Bimbo eruptions” quote?
The media will give him a pass for now. However, if he ever shows a hint of rising in the polls, these issues will come to the forefrunt.
And, he’s got daughters. That quote was reprehensible – especially since it was about victims of sexual assault and abuse. Really reprehensible.
I’m excited for Desertflower and her class. Hope she wins….I voted this morning. If it’s for education……I’m in! Education is an investment, not an expense as Republicans think. Good luck.
Good night Chips, thanks for making this a wonderful day.
Bachman said today, that she would close our Embassy in Iran.
What Embassy?
Shameful!
I think the Moorely Taitz pic is about to become a Twitter hit..LOL
DF . . . I am a bit late to inform you, but I did vote online and text.
Hope your school is in the top 15!
Have a great night!
Night Night All! Thanks again Chips for all that you do. See you all tomorrow, same time, same place.
Goodnight Chips and my TOD Family. I am going to touch the pillows early tonight since staying up until morning today. I want to totally thank Chips and everyone in our beautiful family here. It is indeed a beautiful haven.
Sue, I hope you are doing fine and please rest and relax. Meta take care quietly, Donna get some rest, Symmetry11 relax, Desertflower, praying for a win for the kids! Fred, did not see you today, so I hope all is well. Joan, be restful, and Sam UK, beautiful healing. If I missed someone, please forgive me, but remember we have something so very special here, and that thanks goes to our beloved Chipsticks.
I know that Chipsticks also appreciates everyone who brings the informative links for our minds to seek truths, and make sure that we are carrying the message for our beautiful President, Barack Obama and his Administration. We are going to continue to stand with you, Mr. President. We Will Win This in 2012, Mr. President.
Everyone, have a restful evening, and we all look forward for our lives to be richer though our conversing here at this beautiful haven. May we always be ready to have an answer for those who seek the truth from our TOD Family. HZ
G’night HZ, Chips and TOD family. Looking forward to seeing everyone back here tomorrow! 🙂
Moorely Taitz…….LMAO..!!! *DEAD* 😆

“Moorely Taitz” big enough to #OccupyAnyMovement theobamadiary.com/2011/11/30/nig… LOL.
#PRESSON
Don’t know if others mentioned this before because I am wathing in rerun. I see former Denever Mayor Rocky Anderson formed the Justice Party and making a 3rd Party Presidential run and of course Maddow gave him a platform.
With everything at stake, is this the time to divide the vote of democracts and left-leaning voters???? when you are priviledged you are shortsighted about the stakes real people face
That is stupid. We have OWS protesting PBO in NY and now this. A lot of OWS protesting PBO is coming from GPO.COM. I also read they are protesting the DCCC fund raiser with Nancy Pelosi. I think this is to deny the youth vote for PBO from libeterians for 2012 as there not interested in voting except to fight the man as to quote St Roscoe.They seem to idolise michael moore taitz. I have totally lost any support I had for them. They are not protesting Mcconell or the orange speaker
I heard them talking on the radio about the G8 and NATO summits to be held next year in Chicago. The OWS folks were on saying they’re gearing up to protest the events, and have been applying for permits since President Obama announced the summits would be in Chicago. They’ve had some rejected applications, and are saying that they want to be 100 yards from the world leaders.
My question: what does protesting NATO and G8 have to do with their goals of eradicating joblessness, corruption and regulating Wall Street? Protesting these summits is usually the work of anarchists, and that’s what this group is becoming, in my eyes. Seems they are just up for agitating, and accomplishing nothing tangible. And since they’ve said they either won’t vote, or will only vote for a third party candidate (i.e. support a Republican president), then they are a waste of time.
Circa 1968! They want control! All of it!
Btw- Rachel hates the President, she keeps telling her audience about Ron Paul and now this third party dude? She was stuck on stupid with the interview with David plouffe tonight! She kept telling him the WH caved on the bush tax cuts. David said, we got a lot in return and if we did not compromise, middle class families would have seen their taxes go up 1000/yr!
She has a problem with him, always has!
Something happened to her during the gulf oil spill.
She could have been a contendor. With her brain she could have been a match with our president in brilliant reporting and educating the masses.
I agree.
Catching up on the west coast. Voted twice for the Desert Shadows, then saw Moorely Taitz. Anyone know how to get lentil soup off keyboards?

William Hague option on Afghanistan-

Interesting!
The Obama administration announced the potential sale Wednesday of a $304 million weapons package to the United Arab Emirates that includes 600 2,000-pound “bunker-buster” bombs.
In all, the sale includes 4,900 guided bombs to the UAE. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress of the sale Wednesday, a required step before it can be finalized.
Boeing and McAlester Army Ammunition Plant are the prime contractors for the weapons package, according to the release announcing the potential sale.

Looking to cement a foreign policy success and prod democratization in one of the world’s most isolated and authoritarian nations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Thursday to test the willingness of Myanmar’s leaders to expand nascent reforms.
On a historic visit here, Clinton said she was hopeful, but not yet convinced, that “flickers of progress” in the Southeast Asian country will burst into flames of change.
Clinton, speaking to Myanmar’s President Thein Sein during their meeting, said: “I am here today because President Obama and myself are encouraged by the steps you and your government have taken to provide for your people.
Sein said Clinton’s visit was a historic chapter in relations between the two nations. Their meeting took place in a grandiose palace that has 40-to-60 foot ceilings, chandeliers and teak doors. It is situated near a virtually empty, 20-lane highway.
Clinton’s diplomatically risky trip to a nation that receives few outsiders and still heavily restricts what its people can see and read is meant to test whether new civilian leaders are truly ready to throw off 50 years of military dictatorship. U.S. officials said she would also press the leadership on severing military and suspected nuclear ties with North Korea.

WOW…just WOW!! Just watched Ann Curry’s interview with VP Biden. Compelling and moving and inspirational all rolled into one. I missed the first part, but what got my attention was her asking him if the US was “rushing” the ending of the war. True, Joe, he put her in her place, but did it graciously. GO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed it, maybe chipper can get the video for us?
Good morning!
Matt said more of it will be on Nightly News tonight. I want to see the ENTIRE thing. As is typical of Joe, he teared up when talking about Bo’s return home and all the parents that had a child come into Dover AFB. Joe is SO sincere and loving and compassionate. Don’t care of Ann Curry, but for Joe’s part, it is an amazing interview.
Mika just talked about it for 3 seconds!

I see that newt is the flavor of the week while ‘herb’ cain is in the doghouse. Really rethugs ??? Both mofos are serial womanizers but at least, cain stayed married to the same woman (with his worts and all) for decades and you choose multiple marriage, impeached, newt over the black guy ??? Guess your days of ‘we ain’t racists’ are over. Fuck you, teabaggers.
