President Obama Travels with White House Homebrewed Beer Aboard Ground Force One
http://obamafoodorama.blogspot.com/2012/08/president-obama-travels-with-white.html
The Obamas’ chefs are the first to homebrew at the White House, and the President takes the special beer on the road…
President Obama is such a fan of the White House chefs’ homebrewed beer that he’s carrying a special payload of the stuff tucked away on his fancy black bus as he rolls through Iowa on his three-day tour. On Tuesday morning, during a “surprise” stop at the Coffee Connection in Knoxville, the President gifted a local man with a bottle of the very special brew. It’s made at the White House by the Obamas’ chefs, the first to ever do so in the history of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, as first reported by Obama Foodorama.
While greeting patrons outside the coffee shop, the President was asked about the White House homebrew by a man in the crowd, a campaign aide said. After the President described the beer, the fellow requested a bottle.
The President “sent out to Ground Force One and gave him one,” the aide said… [more in the article]
Pretty cool.
Huff! I’m coming! Wait for me! Save me a seat, there Dudette & PFI!
Me too, me too! Can I sit with youse guys?
Of course. No invitation needed for family! 🙂
And why not? Move over, gals.
You’re not late, vc! I think he won’t speak for another 38 minutes…Iowa is central time
Aaaah! By the time this election is over, Df, I’ll not only be semi-knowledgeable on Am. politics, I’ll be able to find more states on the map. assign some jokers to their correct state (ex. Boehner), and have a firmer grasp of CT, PT, or whatever. Not to mention that I have a virtual ‘extended family’ -with the potential to morph into reality- for life.
All true:) I really hope we can have a real life meet up…I would love to meet my TOD family. By the way…great music!
Per your request in the previous thread, df:

Nice to see you vc! 🙂
Okay Dudette, what’s wrong? That sounds like you’re greeting me civilly prior to telling me that there’s just no space in the front by the water for me.
5th?
For now, Pamela, just for now. You know how things are around here. I think Chips has been having a great time keeping us running today, shattering all my summer tested speculations as to when she will shake or shimmy on to the next post.
How are you? You have been scarcer that good gold recently.
Great pic from Smartypants:) http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2012/08/photo-of-day-wind-and-dust.html
Okay, time to update glasses, or my observational skills. I saw that earlier but never noticed the bus. 😳
🙂 You missed the BUS???? That was the whole point:) Silly, vc:) I have glasses for every occasion…driving, reading…I’m SO blind! Even BETTER pic now, huh?
Well, I did see the windmill… and the greenery. 😆
Chips posted this very pic on the previous thread! 🙂
What a lovely backdrop to our President’s speech!
Meanwhile, Romney holds a rally …
😆 Okay, yet another computer monitor sprayed with juice 😆
OMG hilarious 😆 😆 😆
Couldn’t resist Donna – thank you DI!
Retweeted 😉
Ha, thank you!
With all the possibilities with technology, I’m never sure these days what to believe when I see pictures, but this does look about right.
Hey, how’d you do that?
You guys are too much!
Haahahahaha…
Looks like a Norman Rockwell scene. Real America.
I LOVE BEER. I know, who cares. But I DO! And I love PBO and the First Family and I love that he enjoys beer! I also TOTALLY respect and honor a person’s choice not to drink beer or alcohol. Except willard. Because with willard you KNOW he doesn’t want any of us to enjoy beer or other libations. OF COURSE he would NEVER say that! But I’m sure of it.
May be if Willard had a glass or two of beer now and then he would stop lying so much. By the way, with Mitt Romney now the darling of the media, what happened to the meme of a president you would love to have a beer with that was used against both Al Gore and John Kerry?
And if the beer didn’t work, maybe a fierce 30 minute bitch-slapping?
I’M JUST KIDDING!
I DIDNT MEAN IT!
I APOLOGIZE!
I AM a liberal Amercian beer drinker after all…
And I love all of my fellow TOD-er AMER…….. AMERC……AMERI……………AMERah-Muppi-Luppy….mmmm MUST GET ANOTHER BEER!you know!!!
Magapie, you love beer? Then this blog’s for you!! (I have nicked Ground Force One the “Beast Bus”)

That is SO COOL! Thanks isonprize!
Talk about “Private Label” White House Honey Ale.
Man, that’s the coolest of the cool. And reading the article, it looks like they have at least 3 varieties.
Ahhh that’s sooo cute!
Oh. How. Wonderful. Ha!
The MOST simple explanation of this Medicare war of words EVER!
http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2012/08/romneyryan-on-medicarewelfare-for.html
Mitt Romney leveled his harshest criticism of President Obama’s reelection campaign to date in Ohio Tuesday, declaring that Obama should “take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”
Wwwwhhhhaaaattttt?
Hey, WIllard! F Off!

We’re allowed to use exponents:)
RR are digging their own political graves.
They’re focused on being the aggressor, and obviously not concerned about how many lies they tell every day. They know Big Media won’t call them out on their lies.
Except for the rightwing nutjobs, voters will tire of hearing nothing but attacks and whining from RR without any solutions. Especially after the debates, when RR will have to twist themselves into pretzels just to respond to PBO and VPBiden.
Willard Romney is one nasty SOB! There is nothing that comes out of his mouth that is not a lie or pure projection. On top of that he is such cry baby bully.
Here’s why RR (RollsRoyce logo) get along so well.
Ryan’s brother works in private equity, and is a former Bain Capital manager:
Ryan’s wife is former Big Pharma and tobacco lobbyist:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/14/janna-ryan-paul-ryan-wife_n_1774265.html?utm_hp_ref=politics
The Dems and media (I know, wishful thinking) really need to pound away on why RR both support no taxes on the wealthy, how Mitt’s IRA grew so huge. Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t insider trading?
WordPress apparently doesn’t like my computer. Odd that one tweet shows up fine (in a white box) and the other doesn’t. 😦
I’m liking this music, bopping around my ‘puter.
Seems to me you’ve been bopping around all day, CC, even before this music started! I got this sense that there’s been an extra spring or two in your steps the entire day so I figured it had to do with your being home again with everything around you. Now that you’ve got all that bounce, or bop, out of your system, can I assume that tomorrow there will be less bopping? That’s all.
No, no VC, there’ll be even more bopping tomorrow – I’m fired up thanks to having broadband that actually works!!!
Groan! /head in hands/
😯
VC, did you find PBO speaking?
Yes dear. I’m listening to him ‘caring’, even as you and I dialogue. 😆
Me too! Gotta love the multi-taskability of TODers…
Frankly, Ison, we have no choice! 😆 We are so hopelessly addicted HERE that we have to find ways to multitask so that the rest of the OTHER stuff in our lives don’t overwhelm us, or the OTHER people in our lives don’t give up on us. 😉
I get what you are saying. Addiction is the correct word. I stay on the computer reading this blog for hours even if I am not always posting. I think it is because we experience closeness even though we do not know each other in person due to our mutual values in politics and our respect and admiration of our President. I sometimes worry about how there will be a hole in my life when this blog goes away after our President. It would be fun to all meet with signs of our post handle on us so we will know each other. LOL
They’re chanting 4 more years!!
Now!!
Mitt Romney leveled his harshest criticism of President Obama’s reelection campaign to date in Ohio Tuesday, declaring that Obama should “take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”
Wow!
See comment above 🙂
Racists code, that’s what that is. From the party of hate. From the party who only is voting for Mitt, because they want him to beat that black President. They are not supporting Mitt because they like him, they trust him. So the party of hate and racism is Mitt Romney and the people who support him. And Nov. 6th we will send Mitt and his hate, anger, lies back to where ever it is he comes from.
I tweeted him and basically said, if you want to help, release 10 years of your tax returns.
deliberately ignored the BS. Cause we are not falling for the fauxrage. Tax returns. Put up or shut up Romney
I don’t understand. What happened to the people Jack Cafferty and Nora what’s her name? DeltaIndiaPapa SierraHotelIndiaTangos!
Okay yardarm it took me a minute but I got it 😆
I know. Vacay’s are hard to recover from. 😀
😉
yardarm:
Please see just above; I’m having similar problems posting tweets here (one tweet has white box, the other doesn’t, in the same comment).
With a cherry on top!! 🙂
And the crowd goes CRAZY!!!!
PBO IS GETTING READY TO SPEAK.
He’s HERE! Driving those SS agents nuts! Keep him safe!!
WOW…this crowd is FIRED UP!!!
Rep. Chris Murphy wins Conn. Dem Senate primary
http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Rep-Chris-Murphy-wins-Conn-Dem-Senate-primary-3788378.php
Good.
That is good. He should win that against McMahon.
Also, I saw Patrick Murphy on tv today, he will probably be in the administration 2 nd Term. Maybe, Secretary of the Army?
good!
These folk are digging it!! And, Chips, CNN just went live …
Ha, noticed that Bob – they’re never in a hurry, are they?!
Nope – I think they want to avoid enabling you to have high quality vids of the introductions 😉
😆 That explains it Bob!
😀 😀 😀
Bobfr, you scored a trifecta! Totally captured the real Willard “Mitt” Romney.
Four: AND HIDE HIS TAX RETURNS!
“I’ll fry you a pork chop!”
#RyanRomney
Yup!
He started already, the crowd loves him some Obama. 🙂
Crowd erupts in chants of “FOUR MORE YEARS!”
And it’s a good Crowd. This has to be over 5k! Easily.
Also, Knoller finally took a Day off. His first ever.
He must’ve had one too many pork chops or mugs of beer yesterday. To hungover to get out of bed.
Have Mitt Romney release his tax returns yet?
We’re still waiting for them…
Not yet. He’s still trying frantically to pretty up the 2011 version, Annieb. Either that, or he’s dragging his feel hoping we’ll forget that the 2011 return still hasn’t been submitted in full.
I will venture to say that he will never release the tax returns. They keep trying to change the subject. He hopes this issue goes away.
I agree that the incomplete 2010 and estimated 2011 were submitted as smoke screens.
It looks like PBO took BWD’s advice: Instead of saying “I fundamentally disagree” with Ryan/Romney vision, he says their vision is “WRONG.” 🙂 🙂
Ha, great spot Hopefruit!
LMAO! There a are few ladies in the crowd who will have no voice when they wake up tomorrow! And I’m sure they’re fine with that.
Devo are set to release a track later this month entitled “Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Remember Seamus).” It is inspired by Mitt Romney’s notorious road trip from Massachusetts to Ontario, during which he transported the family dog, Seamus, in a kennel strapped to the roof of his station wagon.
According to the Orchard, the distributor behind the track, the digital single will be released on August 25th.
The track also comes as Devo’s founder and commercial director, Gerald V. Casale, kicks off his Remember Seamus campaign, which is supposed to help “make 2012 the year where animals like Seamus are valued and honesty is praised.”
Devo is also helping to back Dogs Against Romney, with Casale designing a special edition shirt for the group. Casale is also involved in an upcoming smartphone game called “The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed,” which sees release on August 26th, otherwise known as National Dog Day.

That’s soooo cool and, btw, that’s my birthday 😀
Bob! Okay, my cake-baking starts right now. 😉
Can hardly wait to see your creation. Last was a hoot. Looked like you had a good time. 🙂
And I’m feeling exceptionally creative for Bob’s cake, Roberta – I have a feeling it’s going to be severely unique. 😎
And your kitchen will be ‘severely’ in need of a remodel if the previous baking extravaganza was any indication 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Can’t wait 🙂
No worries Bob, my kitchen is almost rebuilt after my last cake-baking:
I’ve been promised it’ll be complete in time to make your cake. So fear not!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😀
That’s the trifecta Bobfr, Devo, National Dog Day and your birthday. 🙂
Oh my, never thought of it that way purpleshoes 🙂
Do you think POTUS ever get tired of the hand shake, the hugs,? He has had a busy day today.
Nope, I really think that shaking all of those hands ENERGIZES HIM. It connects him to the real people. It reminds him that all of the nasty wrangling he does with nasty, lying, hateful, mean-spirited Re-thugs is worth it. It lets him know that he hasn’t sacrificed the last 4 years of his life for nothing.
Think about it. He could have stayed Senator from Illinois for life if he wanted to. Of course, he would have to run a decent campaign every 6 years, but that would be a piece of cake for him. He and Michelle could have watched their girls grow up without all the media scrutiny on every single move they make. His life would have been easy-breezy.
But no, he chose to work for US. And I think he gets recharged everytime a crowd shows up and says “THANK YOU” “WE LOVE YOU”
I really, honestly, truly believe that he means it, when he says “I LOVE YOU BACK”
Sorry for the rant, but I loved your question, and I feel strongly that all the handshakes, hugs and kisses that he gets are GOOD for him.
And the babies? Don’t even get me started on him and children. He loves them, and he genuinely LIKES CHILDREN. Kids can smell a phony a mile away. They know that he is the real deal and they obviously love him back.
Isonprize “… Energizes him.” I know first hand the energy of hugs and well wishes can help energize a person to carry on. When my late husband unexpectedly died at 52 yrs of a heart attack after the funeral the many people at the reception who spoke with me, sent me cards, and hugged me definitely gave me the desire and strength to carry on.
Never. He loves people!
Can’t you love people without shaking all those hands, and people hugging and grabbing all over you. But I guess it comes with the territory of politics. That just came cross my mind when I see him repeat the same thing over and over and over again.
I. CANNOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS. 😆 Miz Chips, welcome back! Your 21st birthday celebrations last night haven’t slowed you down one bit today! Love all the pix from our illustrious Prez’ road trip today. You go!
Also I just had to copy in one of the comments from the Rolling Stone link. Some repug troll named Albert posted something snide about PBO eating dog. It’s so lovely to see folks starting to push back in the comments section on the intertoobz.
“Lord Acton
Really? Is the best you can do?
(It alway amazes me that people ever say that it’s LIBERALS who don’t have a sense of humor.) Tell ya what, albert.
The good guys will stop mentioning the true story of Mitt mistreating his dog as soon as you guys stop saying these 4 untrue things: 1. Obama is a Muslim, 2. Obama is a socialist, 3. Obama hates America, 4. Voter fraud is an epidemic.
How’s that sound? Can your guys survive as a political party without all these oft-repeated childish, untrue, easily disprovable statements? I think not.
But let us know if you think you can, and we’ll stop repeating this particular true story. After all, we’ve got plenty of RELEVANT material on Willard.”
Thank you purpleshoesla! 21 and fired up! Loved that reply at Rolling Stone, stupendous!
This is great! Love it all! Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro! Ha!
Let us all remember ….
DAMN!!! He did it again!!!!
“he’s put other things on the roof” 😀 😀 😀
I was wondering if he would. Good for him!
Now, he is playing mind games. I love it!
He even gave it a little chuckle after he said it… 😎 😎
Oh yes …. he knows just what he’s doing and he is having so much fun doing it …
‘and he is having so much fun doing it …’
I thought that too when he chuckled a few times in speeches today. A person should enjoy his work when he can, after all.
Love that line!
I think we can probably put these young Iowa voters in the yes column.

Our President has had a really busy day and it is starting to show. Circles under the eyes. But just love listening to hom tell his story. He is really hitting them tonight. Love it. Robmney is crying. Rachel had quite a section on the Mitts sons and having to use surogates to get the wives pregnant. it was interesting. It was her opening remarks. There is so much coming out on Ryan and Mitts. Love it.
Good for Rachel!
Thanks Bobfr you are the greatest. I am one of those, I can only do one thing at a time. 🙂 Plus I don’t know how to do what you do. Just think you guys here are of another world when it comes to the tubes and getting the message out.
We each do the little we can, Roberta!! Thank you for the passion and energy you bring to supporting our President.
How many of the the sons needed surrogates for the wives? If it’s more than two, then something is amiss with this Romney clan! Unless the wives are related to each other.
Apparently, 3.
“In “Mitt Romney, an Inside Look at the Man and His Politics,” a book written by Ron Scott, one of Mitt Romney’s distant cousins, Mr. Scott wrote that “three of the sons have wrestled with fertility issues in their own families and, to help things along, have sought solutions that are seemingly inconsistent with their father’s views on abortion and stem cell research.””
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/04/2-new-grandchildren-for-romney-with-help-of-surrogate/
All of whom, and the surrogate mothers, would be criminals had Ryans legislation become law, btw.
My oh my. And once again, the narcissism and entitlement comes through. They already have FOUR kids of their own. Wife is 39 and Husband is 42. And they’re going through surrogacy to have twins…
GM folks. Chips seems to be in Usain Bolt tear today.
GM amk. Yep PBO has our Chips in full sprint today. He just Fired Up Waterloo, Ia so get on your sprint shoes cuz our Chips will probably have more pics and video before you know it. 😎
GM donna. The crowd pics are great.
His subtle dig ‘he’s put other things in his car’ was nice. Lying Vulture/Voucher2012 should visit India to see how great the wind-power is doing here. It saved our goose a few months back when there was real threat of total black-outs.
Look who’s up?!
I must be the only TOD’er to say GM twice a day. 🙂
Ah amk, you can never have enough good mornings in one day!
He wakes!! GM, amk:)
GM df. And gunnite df. 🙂
Hit the side of the podium. Love it.
BREAKING: Obama campaign uses poor grammar. GOTTAREGISTER.COM Not good for the education of Amercia’s children.
I’m afraid to look! 🙂
4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!!
Iowa loves their President!
Now hopefully they will come out in November 6th to vote and help re-elect our President.
Well just got home from the Polls. It is Primary Day here in Florida. Tired but fired up. I am a poll worker not just a voter. Very Proud of all that came out to vote today. I will add a little cherry on top….Dems came out in droves,,,,could not be more excited.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
Thank you for all you do Sue. You Rock! So glad to here that Dems were strong today!
FANTASTIC! Thank you for your hard work!
Did you meet jovie ?
I wish. But, my sister worked the polls today. She is a Librarian here in Clearwater!
Put your feet up and take a rest and enjoy TOD’s . We were just gabbing on our POTUS’s speech in Waterloo, IA. We had our primaries today in MN also, took a few seniors from my building to vote and make sure what to do about getting absentee ballots for our aprtment building seniors who are home bound. I think this is going to be a bigger turnout than in 2008. We are fired up and ready to go.
Maybe he feels guilty, he put his Irish Setter on his Roof?
POTUS has had a great couple of days on tour. Tomorrow his beloved FLOTUS joins him and I’m sure he’ll be even happier.
BRAVO to everyone on his staff who make these incredible visits a reality.
I love it when they are together. He is almost giddy when she is with him. I cannot wait!
meta and donna, I agree with you. I like to see POTUS and FLOTUS campaign together. I remember in 2008 when the girls would be with them.
Thanks, vc!
Chips, that was a hoot when I heard him say that today. And his smile leading up to the little remark was priceless. He has got his talking points together. LOVE IT. Good night all.
Night Roberta, sleep well 😉
That is hilarious! late night show worthy.
Mitt Romney deserves a swift knee in the back of his knee (while he’s standing and not expecting it).
willard and eddie-paul munster are that type where all it takes is to calmly get close, stare them down and say: OK, since you won’t shut the fuck up let’s go outside and settle this.” “Uuh….uh…UH…pant…pant….pant…I CAN’T I HAVE TO ERASE THE CHALKBOARDS!!”
Oh he’s gettin’ it, Hopefruit. He’s gettin’ it. I think a TODer posted this. I actually laughed out loud, for real!!
PBO will cut you off at the knees and leave you thinking that you were just born short. 😎 😎
Right on izonprize!
Jeez, what a peculiar photo:
President Barack Obama walks out of the Pump Haus bar in Cedar Falls, Iowa, framed by the legs of television celebrity Nancy O’Dell August 14, 2012.
The photographer sure took up a strange position. 😕
Uh, Nancy might want to have a conversation with that photog. And have her lawyer present when she does.
Utterly bizarre!
That is quite a unique shot. Photographer was “creative”, or something.
I laughed at one account that told of all the ladies in the beauty salon next to the Pump Haus were all poking their foil wrapped heads out the door to get a glimpse of our most attractive president.
Here he is inside the pub—-with the owners, I’m assuming. Non flashy photography on this one.
https://twitter.com/kmnoon/status/235546437755207681
Cheers Dotster!
WTF?!?!?!?!?
This fella needs more than a naughty mat.
You know Hopefruit, if he tried that with me – which is possibly unlikely – he’d need to have his lens surgically removed from his bottom.
LOL! I would advise this photographer to not try this with you under any circumstance!!!
lol I would like to be there to witness your reaction. Would be a hoot, for sure.
Bizarre…and we need to fix our crumbling infrastructure! Did the photographer put his camera up her dress, too? Sorry..it’s too weird.
I just saw your comment. I had the same reaction.
Do you think he accidently pointed the camera UP for a few shots. That guy needs an intervention. It’s like he was trying to repeat the one at the G8 summit where it was all men’s shoes and one female spike heels. But this time it just doesn’t work right.
Tell me that’s not Souza from Souza fame’s image.
Mitt Romney deserves to have that “Aflack” duck yell all night in his ear while he’s trying to fall asleep.
The Obama campaign fired back Tuesday against a tough Mitt Romney speech in Chillicothe, Ohio, saying that Romney seemed “unhinged.”
“Governor Romney’s comments tonight seemed unhinged, and particularly strange coming at a time when he’s pouring tens of millions of dollars into negative ads that are demonstrably false,” campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt said in a statement.
Romney said Tuesday that the president had resorted to “diversions and distractions,” that Obama was “taking things to a new low,” and that he was running a campaign of “hate.”
“His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency,” Romney said.
–
Ha! They are mind fucking Robney!
Unhinged!!! Love it! Thank you Jovie!
Romney is “unhinged” and Ryan is a “right wing ideologue!” Bring it!
Hope Ben likes it 😉
I’ll be passing this on to a few others, but here are two especially for TOD 😀 😀
Excellent. Another round of faux poutrage and more voters disgusted with mittbot’s whining. They’re mind fucking alright.
PAUL RYAN IS MAKING SKID MARKS RUNNING AWAY FROM HIS DEVOTION TO PHILOSOPHER & ATHEIST AYN AND. RACHEL MADDOW’S LAST SEGMENT TONIGHT ADDRESSED THIS TOPIC AND IT WAS TERRIFIC.

CBS Evening News on Paul Ryan’s plan:
Here are 3 screen shots from Saturday’s CBS Evening News (11 Aug) in the wake of the announcement that Paul Ryan would be Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential pick:
You may want to post this somewhere:)
Here’s the story from MJ…http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/08/medias-love-affair-paul-ryan-might-be-fading
It would be great if saps in the media are finally starting to wake up. Romney has contempt for them and they continue to carry water for him. It it long past due the journalists just do their job and report the facts. Stop being so lazy and just repeating what the other guy said like sheep.
Yes…a sheeple infestation.
I’m partial to “zombie-eyed granny killer” for the nickname for Paul Ryan.
You will likey this photo-
Well, another great day for our President and the Fundraising Challenge recieved 4 more donations today. That puts the total at 41 donations in 18 days. We’ve got 82 more days to get 59 donations and I have no doubt that it will be done!
Off to zzzzzzz land for me.
Good night everyone!
Speaking of skid marks……….http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/08/paul-ryan-charts
Mitt Romney deserves to have the waitress put salt instead of sugar on the table for his morning coffee.
He CAN’T have coffee. Man, would that SUCK or what????
If not coffee, then his tea or hot chocolate.
Yessssss, no argument!! Just sayin’ would SUCK to not be able to have a damn nice hot cup of rightious joe now and then becuase of who-knows-what friggin bizarre dogma reason!
No caffeine at all, right? Mighty funny that he had a case of Wild Cherry Pepsi in his cart when he went “shopping” before he got ‘hardware stuff” So full of shit.
Evening all. OMG it’s been eons since I’ve posted. Been so busy, I keep trying to keep up but some days all I can do is scroll through all the great pics.
Saw that I missed ChipChica’s 21st B-day so even tho I’m late to the party, just have to say

`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
So are you back on home turf? Did you get to, err I mean have to sit on the co-pilot’s lap again for the ride home? And if yes, was it at least bumpy?
Now to go see highlights of what I missed these last few.
hahaha well my birthday image sure doesn’t look like it should after posting. FYI it’s a (was a) B-day cake…. 😆 ❗
That’s it, I’m sticking with my day job.
Thank you LunarSea! Tragically for the pilot, no, there was no sitting on him this time – which might explain why the landing was so bumpy, he was clearly feeling distracted and sad. I’ll know better next time. Hope all’s good and you’re not too crazily busy?
His loss!
Busy at work AND at play so it evens out. Vacation again next week and more out of state company coming. Pretty steady stream but I love it so long as it’s short bites and I have a chance to recoup and veg out in between.
Tonight is just a georgeous summer’s night. The stuff of Shakespeare. Makes me think of Mid Summer’s Night Dream. Magical. Enjoyable.
In honour of Romney’s unhinged attack:

ooh it worked!
Apparently you do. Good job!
HEADLINE: Young immigrants to apply for Dream Act protection Wednesday
// The Obama administration will kick off one of the most sweeping changes in immigration policy in decades Wednesday, allowing an estimated 1.7 million young undocumented immigrants to apply for the temporary right to live and work openly in the United States without fear of deportation. Immigrants have waited for final details of the plan in the two months since President Obama pledged to brush aside years of congressional stalemate over the Dream Act and grant de facto residency to qualified immigrants who were brought to the country as children.
On Tuesday, officials surprised advocacy groups by posting the application forms online one day early. Advocates across the country are planning to hold workshops Wednesday for hundreds of immigrants eager to learn who will qualify and how to apply. //

Looks like Paul Ryan just lost the Catholic vote.
Omg! Larry odonell just made a great ad for Obama campaign! He is on tape loving Ayn Rand.
LOD knocked it out of the park with the ryan /ayn rand connections. It’s all I have been talking about. What if the POTUS had a Russian atheist as his hero??
This needs to go viral. That was just fantastic.
