Charlie Crist (Tampa Bay Times): …. As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack Obama is the right leader for our state and the nation. I applaud and share his vision of a future built by a strong and confident middle class in an economy that gives us the opportunity to reap prosperity through hard work and personal responsibility. It is a vision of the future proven right by our history.
…. Many have already forgotten how deep and daunting our shared crisis was in the winter of 2009, as President Obama was inaugurated. It was no ordinary challenge, and the president served as the nation’s calm through a historically turbulent storm.
…. President Obama has a strong record of doing what is best for America and Florida, and he built it by spending more time worrying about what his decisions would mean for the people than for his political fortunes. That’s what makes him the right leader for our times, and that’s why I’m proud to stand with him today.
Read it in all its glory here
Thanks Dotster

Remember that boy from 2009 at the town hall meeting in New Orleans? I had no idea until last night that he’s the same boy in the third photo of the ‘If Kids could vote’ post: Tyren Edward Anthony Scott.
Huge thanks to his mother Lisa, a subscriber here, for letting me know.
“He was nine when he asked the President that question and in your latest picture he’s 12. President Obama stood there with us, talked for about three minutes, he remembered Tyren and signed an 11 x 14 picture of their first encounter.”
Thank you again Lisa, will email you later today – Tyren has grown in to a fine young man!

Morning everyone, it’s a bit of a busy day but I’ll drop in and out to update if anything happens. Meanwhile … chat away 😉
The Obama Diary 
Leaning on the door does pay.
GM chips. 🙂
Mooooooooooooooooooooorning amk the door leaner, morning everyone 😉
Awesome. Thanks chips.
I thought that might put a spring in yer step.
Chips I tied with that cheating door leaner! 🙂 Can I get a POTUS picture, pretty please? Maybe one of those raining ones to show how some people who are not GOP look good with a little rain?
“Chips I tied with that cheating door leaner!” 😆
Congrats Forus!!!!!!
Thank you Chips!! lol. Beyond the pure awesomeness of that photo, the President has taught me to not worry about a little rain – just ENJOY it when I get caught out in it without my umbrella.
Not only, I recall it is FRENCH rain in this pic… Oui? G’day all!
So funny – “we” even know where the rain was falling on him! Bonjour!
Pamela – Didn’t you say you were also still in touch with Hélène from Paris? She just emailed me a pic of Joe Biden – because she knows what I like!
I am I touch with her, on occasion. She was going to try to rendezvous with Denea, but Paris was not on the stops, so they did not meet. I do not hear from her often, and she never sends me pics of Joe! 🙂
I’ll share! http://www.flickr.com/photos/barackobamadotcom/7851203580/
Absolutely my favorite picture. I have 4 big squares of this picture as my screen saver on my computer. Whenever I sit down at the computer this picture is the first thing I see and it ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.
Congratulations, amk! It’s been a while since you’ve been on the podium – looking good. 🙂
You should tell that to the wifey unit. 🙂
GM theo.
Good Morning!
Gm TOD
Morning all
Hola
First time I ever was first! And tied with my old pal amk from “The Field” makes it even more special!
GM forus. We are Al pals alright. 🙂
Missing him ‘severely’, as chips would say.
Me too!! I need him to bring a dose of reality to the polling now that Nate is trying to play middle of the road and comes up with nothing interesting for analysis. I posted this a few days ago that national polling is meaningless and I still don’t get why it’s tracked. But if it’s tracked people will look at it and try to make sense of it, which is again; senseless and meaningless.
My analogy of it is would be to consider totaling up all National League baseball teams scores one night and comparing it to the total scores of all American League teams that same night. Let’s say Romney is National and his score is 38 and the American League is Obama and his total scores was 24. We would all be FREAKING OUT! That’s about how sensical a national poll is because we all know that Presidential elections are 50 separate elections just like the baseball teams are 30 separate games.
Just like baseball right now (as there are only about 8 teams to watch as all the other teams are not going to the playoffs or are assured of a playoff spot) only abuot 8 swing state polls matter. The ONLY polls that matter are swing states. Repeat after me…:)
Yup. Al predicted that nate will go msm way once he signed up for it. Now and then, he does try to cover his ass by predicting Obama win. His charm has definitely worn off.
I follow Al on FB & he still post things on US politics all the time there. yall should follow him there. plus like at The Field if u ask him questions he answers them personally
Thanks a bunch lamh. Pity I hate FB and have never signed up for it.
Does he do twitter?
I don’t think he has a twitter account.
But he is very active on FB. We’ve had convos on sports, politics, u name it. and if you have an interesting post on ur page he even responds to those
Congrulations on your first place tie, forus50!
I mean “congratulations”!
AARP should mail those medicare/medicaid toons to all its subscribers. At least, it might change a few addled brains.
Awesome. Such a wonderful story of Tyren and his President. Thanks Chips and good morning everyone!!!
Crist raining all over the kkkonvention is an additional message to the thugs from god himself?
Had to tweet it.
Isaac is laughing some more…
G’morning Chips, TOD, and congratulations amk for # 1! 🙂 🙂
GM hf. That pic was worth leaning on the door. (vc is gonna be pissed off).
As I said in the last thread, I may believe there is a god after all. 🙂
The republican party in Flirida is freaking out over Crist endorsement, simply livid. They ate trying to discredit Crist.
Also, Chris Hayes panel as a Black Libertarian, and a Robnry adviser on the tv box. Simply put, the Panels are all jacked up.
Also, Crossroads Chief(rove) thinks the Welfare ad will change the perception of how People see the President, despite the fact it’s a lie.
Remember, Robney will find it very difficult to lie in the debates. And he knows it.
I’m beginning to wonder if Romney will find it hard to lie in the debates. He’ll have a willing media hack in front of him asking simple questions, only one minute for rebuttal from the President to call him out on his lies, and two solid minutes to lie himself into hell. There just won’t be enough time to give a really good rebuttal and to answer back against two full minutes of lies, and the President is going to want to use his two minutes to call out his achievements and challenge the plans of the Republicans to make it clear that they are diabolical and destructive. I just don’t like the format of the debates.
I don’t know how this tax cheat gets away with this.
Mitt Romney Reaped Huge Tax Benefits Based On ‘Active’ Role At Bain Capital
Romney has repeatedly insisted during the presidential campaign that layoffs and other controversy surrounding Bain Capital companies for the past decade are not his responsibility, because he retired in 1999.
That still leaves Romney in a rhetorical jam: For tax purposes, he claims an active status; for political purposes, he claims to have zero to do with the investments.
The distinction is valuable, for the IRS treats passive and active income and losses differently. If a passive investment loses money, the taxpayer can only write off that loss if passive gains have also been made and only at a 15 percent rate. But active losses can be written off at a 35 percent rate and deducted from the taxpayer’s ordinary income. In other words, a taxpayer wants active losses, not passive losses. So by describing many of his investments as active, Romney saves himself millions of dollars in taxes.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/26/romney-bain-taxes_n_1828816.html#comments
Of course the Romney camp used the same excuse….blind trust……his personal friend and lawyer.
The blind trust that invested 10 millions in Tagg Romney’s company.
Personally, I’ve been wondering why the video of Mitt Romney saying (in 1994) that, “”Blind Trust is an Age-Old Ruse,” hasn’t been placed into a perpetual loop through direct advertising and/or through social media.
I agree – perhaps they are saving it for the last few weeks?
OH MY GOSH, what an absolutely wonderful update about Tyren!! He’s grown into such a handsome young man. So pleased he got to reunite with PBO. Thanks so much to Chips and his beautiful Mom for keeping us posted. Very best to him and his family!!
TO TYREN AND HIS MOM: Thank you Tyren for being so brave and asking a beautiful heartfelt question to President Obama. His answer to you was correct…A LOT OF PEOPLE VOTED FOR, AND STILL LOVES PBO, AND STILL DO TODAY. Please keep working hard as a student, do well, and remember the life of our president and first lady how they NEVER GAVE UP. Thank you Tyren’s mom for taking him to see the president…twice….and for raising a wonderful young man.
yes yes yes!! you are the future, tyren, and we are so proud of you and your family.
Good Morning all from Palm Beach County. Just getting high wind and rains here. Talked to my friend Gosal in the Keys last night. They are fine now but are without power as we speak. Monroe County (Keys) Miami-Dade, and Broward County are without power. I am the next county up. Jovie is up by my daughter who is at the University of Tampa. Hope all is well up there. Reading twitter we have a lot of anger at the GOP and some are wishing for a terrible storm. We must remember that we are proud Democrats and care about everyone. We should not wish ill will or danger on anyone.
Jovie, until I lose power can you keep me informed of the weather situation up there? Thank you in advance.
Be safe proudmember. I also have close relatives in the general Miami, Tampa Bay and surrounding areas so I am not wishing for anything terrible. Many good DEMS live in those areas.
It’s going To hit The Southern Part of The Keys, and track up the Gulf Toward New Orleans(again). Winds are at 65 MPH, and wil be a Cat 2 before it hits New Orleans
Be safe!
I see southwest Fl. is under tornado watch, mandatory evacuation for Ft. Myers Beach, Bonita Beach and other islands.
The current tracker I saw had it heading straight for Mobile, Al. with effects stretching from New Orleans to the west and the Fl Panhandle to the east.
Please take good care and stay safe. And best to GOSAL as well. You are both doing an amazing job to help re-elect PBO there in FL and I thank you so much for that.
Good Morning, All: Reporting in from South Florida – Miami Beach. It is overcast with a few drizzles. We have power and its seems like a typical wet Sunday. Hope its not the ‘calm before the storm’. I hope to venture about it stays like this. I just read online that the University is closed tomorrow so I am getting excited about picking up my Apple Notebook Pro tomorrow. Yeah!!
Stay safe! And congrats on the new Macbook Pro! It’s a great machine.
There’s power in Miami-Dade county.
Be safe! Will call my family in FL today to see how they are…brother in Bradonton and parents in Port Charlotte area ( Hurricane Charlie area!) My daughter’s best friend goes to UT, too:) Small world. Just be safe….that goes for everyone…
One thing’s been sticking out at me about this storm and the GOP refusal to cancel or move their convention (and the unending media coverage about how it will impact only the convention, with little message of anyone else in the region). If this storm was heading towards a DNC convention, I’m sure the right wingers would be demanding that President Obama and his crew cancel the convention so that the authorities could focus their attention on keeping the people, residents, pets and their property intact and out of harm’s way. We would be hearing about how selfish and tone-deaf it is to channel attention to a convention when a category 2 hurricane is bearing down. And the fact that the RNC will be proposing no actual ideas, policies, plans to unite the country – it’s a real waste of time, energy, oxygen and resources.
We shall see.
No.
Awesome awesome post Chips! I love the Charlie Crist column – those extremists (the media needs to stop calling them conservatives – wth) are getting battered from every direction. The cartoons are awesome. You would think by now that Mike Lukovich would have influenced the electorate in Georgia with his brilliant cartoons in the Atlanta paper.
PBO is only 3% down in GA, forus50 — we could turn the state blue again!
Oh that’s great to hear! I see it’s “safe Romney” in electoral college maps but so was Indiana last year for McCain up until Sept. In 2008 I flew from Chicago to Georgia to do voter registration for 3 days with my sister and her OFA group – it was so fun!
Thank you for that! I admire all who canvass, of course, but even more, those that go into unfamiliar territory!
I cannot tell a lie——or take sole credit for the Crist scoop. Others beat me to it. The earlier birds got the worm. But at least we all made sure it got notice, this excellent “Welcome to Florida, GOP!” by former Gov. Crist.
dotster – if you can’t take credit for this I still want to thank you for all the other hundreds that you post here. You are a gem – I read everything you post as it’s all great stuff.
Thanks for the great compliment! You’re nice!
And Chris Hayes first guest, Michael Steele???
Michael Steele said that he was not invited to the RNC convention, and the GOP is blaming him for selecting Tampa as the location for the convention during hurricane season. Hmmm…Methinks Michael Steele is going to do an “ooops” at the ballot box and darken the circle near Barack Obama’s name!!
Motherfuck Michael Steele, he knew goddamn well what the Republican Party was all about and yet he still rode along with that shit.
HAHA! Tell us how you feele about Steele…
i agree with you Don….
i have no sympathy for him…but i will take his vote for PBO….
speaking about the Republican Party…what about all the folks like Crist who do not see themselves in the politics of todays GOP…do you see a chance of a splinter movement within that party to create another party…or will these folks become part of the Democratic Party creating a new wing in the Dem Party…
Prettyfoot you reminded me of this vid I tweeted the other (from Chips) I hope we get more of these clear thinking women and the men in their lives to vote for the only real choice! #OBAMA2012
POWERFUL!!!
Wow, can they diss him more than this? Ha, they deserve each other!
People thought that about Condi Rice too—–until she endorsed Willard and accepted a speaking spot at the convention, as well as other appearances for Willard. I think these AA Repubs have chosen their path, for whatever convoluted reasons, and stay there. I think they see themselves as separate, superior in some way, want to identify with the rich peoples’ party, to say nothing of the job possibilities provided by simply being a minority in a party where they are so scarce. (“Look! We have black people too! See those 2 over there!”)
Money. The reason is money, easy.
And power.
Is that fair? Life long democrats wouldn’t change either and for many AA’s it was and is the party of Lincoln although he may be rolling over in his grave at what it has become. Those who bug me are democrats who say they won’t vote for Obama because he has failed them, or not lived up to his promises. I tell them to stop watching Fox news but I find their disappointment more nauseating than someone who sticks to their guns even if they vote otherwise.
Many thanks for reposting the first time Tyren met President Obama. At the time I thought the President’s answer was so gentle and kind and exactly appropriate for a 4th grader. If Willard were to be asked that question can you imagine his answer? I think it would be nonsense and belligerent and snarky.
Completely agree Sara. What a thoughtful, kind answer from then Senator Obama keeping in mind the personal question and that he had a national audience. About 6 months ago I dug up that video to send to a friend – it’s great to see it again and am not surprised that President Obama remembered him.
Does anyone know the the name of the music that is playing in that video? I know I’ve heard it before and I can’t remember.
Hmm…there isn’t any music in the New Orleans video with Tyren Scott that I hear. ? But watching it again, I had forgotten this was AFTER POTUS had been elected.
That was pres Obama in 2009, not sen Obama….just to set the record straight.
His question was so tender and thoughtful. And I love that PBO took the time to answer it well and ask for an applause for Tyren.
Charlie Crist: Wow. Young New Orleans boy: Double Wow. Thanks for these.
Threats from anarchists have Tampa on lockdown before Convention-
http://thehill.com/conventions-2012/gop-convention-tampa/245329-threats-from-anarchists-lock-down-city
“With the Secret Service at the helm, the FBI, the Coast Guard and the military have taken extensive steps to guard against potential terrorist attacks as well as uprisings from anarchists intent on disrupting the five-day event.”
Fancy the GOP using all those government resources – when money could be much better spent given tax reductions to the wealthy. Besides which, it appears the weather will cause more disruption than anything else. The GOP should declare war on the weather.
Yes, how ABOUT that! They couldn’t even hold (build) a convention by themselves! damn govt!
Most of these resources should be going to keep the residents safe during this storm – not the millionaires and their lackeys.
I can’t express enough how much of a flippin drag it was when the RNC was held in St Paul last election. I couldn’t move in my own town. For some STUPID reason I and my husband decided to try walking around in our own city during the convention because we wanted to see how bad it was. It was very scary. Lots of temporary steel barricades and guys who were not smiling in full swat gear. I thought wow, what a great way to show up on the national spotlight. We looked like and were a city in military lockdown
And the people in Tampa will probably have the same conversation that we did here. Some will say it’s better to over protect than under protect. Some will decry the “lockdown” (and believe me, it was, after dark, I had the dickens of a time just trying to drive home from work one night when i was late). There was a whole bunch of fingerpointing and it just did nothing for business whatsoever. The bars, restaurants in st paul that thought they would get a boost didn’t. the Conventioners couldn’t get to them.
It was just dumb.
Allright. I’m done. I guess that struck a nerve Jovie. It was a bad memory for my city. It really made me more than ever feel like voting for PBO at that time and it had nothing to do with his campaign. Maybe the people of Tampa will feel the same way.
OK steps off the soapbox now. Back to cheerful self
Jenna Wolfe on Today asked David Gregory about the Crist endorsement, and he ignored the question and proceeded with his GOP talking points and what Willard “needs to do” at the convention—-which was—-make people think he is human when it is obvious he is some sort of lab experiment gone terribly awry. They’re trying so hard to make Willard adorable and cuddly because no one likes him. Miss Ann said on ET that he’s not stiff at all in real life!!!——he doesn’t even comb his hair on the weekends!!!!—–goes around all bedheaddy! And that is really going to make me rethink my vote!!! 🙂
I saw a promo with one of the CNN talking heads who’s doing an expose on Willard either tonight or tomorrow night. The shots are of them walking around, smiling, laughing, having a grand old time. I wonder if she’ll feel any regret when her 401K disappears again or her kids get sick and she has to declare bankruptcy, or her kids are sent off to war with Iran (or Syria now, since Willard is promising to invade Syria if he gets to be president), or she finds out that a burst water pipe has exploded under her home because of lack of infrastructure, or two planes crash into each other because of the antiquated air traffic control system – or whether she’ll be thrilled that she’s got a nice fat tax cut check from 161,000 people’s pocket. And MSNBC has been doing their best to present the Mormon church in glowing terms, even though they’ve never once lifted a finger to correct the negative assumptions about Muslims or the President. I think I’m going to avoid politics for the next week, and look forward to the cleansing and uplifting DNC convention next week.
The truth is, and what the MSM won’t ever admit, is that if we really take a hard look on who has the better ideas AND a better RECORD on issues related to the economy, President Obama wins hands down. And that is the reason why the Romney camp does NOT want to talk about the economy – even though we keep hearing from the media that the Obama camp doesn’t want to talk about the economy and the Romney camp wants to but has been unable to do so. This is hogwash.
The Romney camp does not want to talk about the economy and is striving to create a situation where no one really knows Romney’s economic plans/ideas, but simply imagine him to be better on the economy and therefore will vote for him on that basis. That is a dirty manipulative trick, and the MSM is enabling it with their endless attempts to suggest that Romney is somehow superior on the economy than President Obama.
The debates will out a spotlight on all of this, trust me, the Robney camp is dreading the debates!
I believe you’re 100% right about this.
Like always? LOL!
I wouldn’t go that far…but I will concede close enough 🙂 🙂
Let us know how things turn out at OFA and the weather conditions in the Tampa area.
The Romney camp does not want to talk about the economy and is striving to create a situation where no one really knows Romney’s economic plans/ideas
=======================================================
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
And this is why they are pissed at Gov Crist.
This is true. I was listening to NPR this morning, and they had some economist come on and say “there’s no real way for us to know who is the better candidate for the economy”. I lost it. So, all the CBO reports outlining the impacts of the two opposing policies doesn’t give us any way to know? Seeing the actual record of this President who rescued the country from the brink of depression, all while battling a dark enemy who stated that their only goal was to destroy his presidency – regardless of the impact to the country that was on the precipice of economic doomsday? We can’t see people lining up in queues outside restaurants, spending their hard earned money? We didn’t just see a rover land on Mars? We don’t have 125000 troops now employed in the United States through the First and Second ladies’ initiative? We don’t know what kind of trade deals have been signed, or what money has been put towards burgeoning industries that will be the secret to American competitiveness in the future? We don’t have good economic indicators on nearly ever front? And I thought of these before I even had any coffee!
I switched it off. Don’t need to listen to idiots – especially on a Sunday morning.
Good on Charlie Crist. There are many like him in his party who aren’t bigwigs but everyday people who are disgusted by what they was considered their party. They feel like outsiders and they will be voting for Pres. Obama. They may not shout it out loud but they will.
UT….
i had asked this up thread…and i wonder what you think of this…
speaking about the Republican Party…what about all the folks like Crist who do not see themselves in the politics of todays GOP…do you see a chance of a splinter movement within that party to create another party…or will these folks become part of the Democratic Party creating a new wing in the Dem Party…
I think that our tent will just get bigger….there won’t be another party of any consequence
A life long supporter of the labour party was lying on his death bed when he suddenly decided to join the Tory party.
“But why?” asked his puzzled friend, “You were labour through out your life … Why change now?”
The man leaned forward and explained: “Well, I’d rather it was one of them that died and not one of us.”
LMAO!! Too funny, amk 🙂 🙂
Greatest. Joke. EVER. 😆
Ain’t this some shit! Chris Hayes has three Libertarians on His Show, Joan Walsh cannot get in a word edgewise, and Chris Hayes is arguing about taxes and Cutting Social Security.
It’s his fault for jacking up his panel, the discussion is hard right, all the time. And when it is not hard right, it’s hard left and blaming the President- like yesterday.
What a terrible Show.
In other News, I have to go Open OFA office this Morning, and get things going for Sunday.
Have a nice Day, see you all in a few!
Thanks Jovie!
Absolutely gorgeous. And could the timing have been any more PERFECT??? Stomps right all over the rethugs message and starts their convention off with a whimper. Hee!
Three guys go down to Mexico one night, get drunk and wake up in jail. They find out that they’re to be executed for their crimes but none of them can remember what they have done.
The first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if he has any last words. He says, “I am a priest and I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on behalf of the innocent.” They throw the switch and nothing happens; so they figure God must not want this guy to die, and let him go.
The second one is strapped in and gives his last words. “I am an attorney and I believe in the eternal power of Justice to intervene on the part of the innocent.” The switch is thrown and again nothing happens. Figuring the law is on this guy’s side, they let him go.
The last one is strapped in and he says “I’m an electrical engineer, and I’ll tell you right now, you’ll never electrocute anybody if you don’t connect those two wires.”
/I am an electrical engineer. 🙂
The electrical engineer in your joke must come from the Ed Rendell School of Political Philiosophy, where their motto is “Let Us Boldy Advise The Enemy How to Defeat Us” 🙂
We electrical engineers strongly believe in solving problems, even if it kills us. 🙂
😆
LOL! Touche’!
LOL! Where is John Boner in all of this. Drinking himself silly in a tanning booth? Haven’t heard a word from him all summer!
Willard and Ms. Ann’s daily affirmation meditation session:
Repeat 20X while walking in a circle to the drum beat.
I have no faults
I am perfect
I am always right
I am better than everyone else
I deserve more than anyone else
I am supreme
I am better than anything “Obama.”
I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.
No one has the right to challenge me.
A BJ post. 🙂
Love this from McClatchy.
Melanie Sloan and CREW are challenging Fox TV’s broadcast licenses in DC and Baltimore.
Citing the phone-hacking scandal that has engulfed News Corp.-owned newspapers in Britain, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a petition to deny Fox’s applications to renew licenses for three of its TV stations – WTTG-TV and WDCA-TV in Washington, D.C., and WUTB-TV in Baltimore.
… Noting that being of good character is a requirement for holding a broadcast license, CREW’s Sloan said, “If the Murdochs don’t meet British standards of character, they can’t meet American standards. The Atlantic Ocean has no character-cleansing properties.”
A Fox spokesperson declined to comment.
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/201…..rylink=cpy
Awesome!
hallelujah!!! i’ve been watching for this development, and rubbing my hands in glee in hopes it would happen. love this line–‘if the murdochs don’t meet british standards of character, they can’t meet american standards.’ can’t wait to see the faux spews folks sputtering in indignation as the lights go out on their set.
Also, just heard on radio, Rinse expects a ten point bump from his Convention.
I have heard about playing the Refs, but pollsters??? Jeeze, what is he smoking?
Ten point bump? The convention is currently in complete disarray!
He has said 10 points previously.
He said it on the radio, others at the OFA office heard it also. Unless you are here in Clearwater, pipe down!
“Pie down”?
Really, jovie?
Should have been – “pipe down”?
What else can he say? My candidate is coming out of this thing 20 points down? He’s just trying to psyche himself up.
A recent PEW poll also said the same. I just hope that a healthy majority of 99%ers are sane.
And that they VOTE
It’s 4 years even though the Dems controlled Congress in 2 of those years. The “NO” Obstuctionist “January 2009: goal is to make Barack Obama a one term president”. They used the filibuster like never in history, required a super majority, blah blah blah. Yeah, he single handedly used any legal way to work around those treasonist bastards to get anything and everything passed.
Now You know this is a feat.that we will be talking about for a long time….
i wonder how cohesive the Republican Congress will be after PBO wins….i think we will see much more cooperation …
Forwarddddddddd
I love that ad. It’s a good one! Can we get that on the air everywhere, please? Noticed it included Martin Bashir’s favorite Willard quote which he airs daily—-“I don’t know what I said but I stand by what I said no matter what it was.”
hahahaha…my favorite quote of Romney….sounded like a comedy routine
Love it, love it, love it!
Love it! Our team is soooo creative. That was a hoot and perfectly captures the essence of smarmy Willard.
Loved It!!! Passed it onto Dashboard
laughing so hard, here! just love this one!
I totally ♥ that Mitt movie preview. 😀
Thanks Ms Chips, and make sure you are comfortably padded as you ‘drop in and out’. We don’t want you injured in any way. 😉 😉
Sending Sunday wishes out to all TODobots! Those of you in the path of the storm “Take good care of yourselves, your family and your neighbours”! Those of you recovering from some hard grassroot-y work yesterday, maybe you’ll be able to put your feet up a little today and recharge. Thanks again, you have no idea how encouraging your efforts AND REPORTS are to those of us who really can’t be involved in the nitty-gritty aspects of this campaign.!
BTW, Amk, congrats! Not sure yet how I feel about my classified strategy being publicized. I’ll get back to you on that! {tried and tested palin-romney solution} 😉
AP write-up of Obama interview—-with the exception of a couple semi-snark comments, it is a good one—–PBO making clear that Willard has become too extreme and that he lies. In Sunday papers/websites across the country.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/ap-interview-obama-romneys-extreme-views-17079188#.UDolENZmTfc
I thought Ben Feller did a good job. How refreshing to have an interviewer who actually lets the president answer the questions without constant interruptions.
Wow what a scathing rubuke of the Party that he once was a member of and a full-throated support of PBO. I must say I admire his grit to tell it like it is. Way to go Charlie Crist!!!
I agree – he didn’t mince words and play both sides of the fence. Unless Floridians like snake oil more than tanning oil, Obama is gonna win the Sunshine state!
Watch “The Do-Over” on widescreen on your computer – it is so well done it’s just like watching the previews at the movies!! Rated “N” for Not Gonna Work is HILARIOUS!
I know, right?!! 🙂
Oh the irony….
Thx, hf!
Now that is funny 😆

Mittens has even lost The Economist. LOLz.
Rt’d
This is just all a bit of a nightmare, isn’t it?
Hey, but you can still carry your gun. That oughta count for something. Prolly some body counts.
OMG, you’re right.
Ha! You can shoot at Isaac and maybe he’ll go away. Stupid ass GOP. 🙄
Do they have enough generators to power that place or will it be bathed in candlelight?
Especially since Rand was not promised that cabinet spot…
So get up at the convention and tell us why you don’t fully endorse him, Ron, you little crackpot, you.
Didn’t Charlie Christ back John McCain in 2008?
He was a GOPer and a FL gov then. He became an independent. So Now his is endorsing PBO.
Yes, but he’s a conservative Independent. And that’s why it matters so much to the GOP who are raving mad with this endorsement.
LOL they’re mad? What have they been saying about the endorsement?
Here you go!
// The Republican outcry over Charlie Crist’s endorsement of Barack Obama began overnight with a furious statement from Republican Party of Florida Chairman Lenny Curry, who blasted Crist as a selfish politician looking after his own interests — in spite of an approaching hurricane, no less! Curry: //
http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/08/florida-gop-plays-hurricane-card-against-repugnant-133216.html
This is exactly what they get.
Images of Charlie Crist gets added to “You mad?” meme in 5, 4, 3, ….
I’m innocently sliding the Sun. paper out from its protective wrapper, and YIKES! —there’s Willard and Miss Ann fakily smiling back at me from the cover of Parade magazine! Hot potato! Couldn’t get rid of that thing fast enough! Suffered the same fate as the neighbor’s Newsweek with the bad Obama article which was delivered to my mailbox by mistake—–to be seen nevermore.
When i woke up this am hubby told me he was going to hide the paper and just leave the Parade magazine for me, but thought that would be too cruel! 🙂
Observation- I have noticed that here and a bunch of other left leaning blogs, that People live their Liberal media.
I am so suspicious of the liberal media, here is why? During the Stimulus battle, all we heard from the Liberal media was, it was not big enough. Without defending what was in it, it was easily defined as Big Givernment.
Then, the ACA discussion, for one year the Liberal media freaked out over no public option, and had Weiner and Dean on every night to prove their agenda.
This has led to where we are now, both bills are seen as big Government, albeit the ACA is starting to poll better.
In conclusion, I am so suspicious of the MSM and how they have not informed the public, that a lot of tines I jump the gun, on certain comments, toward them.
Maybe, I should find a way to get an App for Twitter, as the “Twitter hitting- back brigade”, seems to inoculate them from any criticism, that Liberal media lovers may have.
In essence, can’t we all just get along?
LOL!
The liberal media gets plenty of criticism here, and from the TOD Twitter brigade as well. We are just as skeptical of them as you are jovie.
I guessed you missed my point! Never mind, I did not intend for you to internalize it, as I realize you hit them in the mouth.
Where I run into trouble, here and on other blogs, is when I jump the gun and make a comment of someone I see, and it turns out that maybe that particular instance said person on tv, stuck up for the President.
Then, people cone out of cyberspace, people we have not seen in months and go crazy, telling me it’s my imagination and actually stick up for a Gross Media.
I don’t even cate if I am always negative toward the media, they deserve it. IMO.
Buddy Roemer again! on MHP!!!???? Unjust punishment!
Weekend Fest? The LA luv connection? And his harsh criticisms are always….you know, towards the President.
This is a great example of liberal media, trying to placate both sides and to not piss off the right.
Meanwhile, the Likes of Hannity, oreily, Beck etc, always have hard right gusts that agree with them.
The difference, an uninformed public and a tilted right media!
RNC Chair on Romney’s birther joke: Can’t we have “levity” in politics?
I don’t even know what it means….what is levity in politics?
“Levity” my butt. There NOTHING funny about denying a citizen his Full citizenship, let alone implying that a duly elected sitting president is an Illegal, fraudulent POTUS. If the lazy media would address it in those stark form, the rightwingers may think their hate, but they will No longer speak it loudly.
I tweeted yesterday the Romney camp reply when the President made the dog on roof joke….something that actually happened, something that Romney laughed about when asked about it…….the root of the birther conspiracy is hatred and racism.
Here’s the reply: Obama Continues To Embarrass Himself’ With Romney Dog Joke, Romney Campaign Says.
My Gov, speaking the truth to shame the devil….
O’Malley Slams Romney’s Birther Joke: GOP Sending ‘Coded Messages’
“Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD) blasted Mitt Romney’s joke Friday in Michigan, about how nobody has ever asked him for his birth certificate from the state — a reference to the conspiracy theories levied against President Obama — which O’Malley said was an example of the Republicans being “a party of exclusion” with problems appealing to minorities.”
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/omalley-slams-romneys-birther-joke-gop-sending-coded
Has he got a speaking role at the convention? I really thought he’d be the keynote.
O’Malley is speaking, I just don’t remember what day. Searching for the DNC schedule…
Thx, isonprize. I haven’t seen a schedule.
“Schedule” page on convention website just lists speakers so far, not dates/times

OK, Thanks, Dudette.
Gooooooooood Morning…MsChipssssssss….and TODville….
The Convention Reinvention…..rated N for Not Gonna Work,,,,
loveeeeee it….
and don’t i love that re-connection of the President and the lil boy….ohhh myyyy
Forward>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yo O’s!!!! Good Sunday morning on this yet another great getting day. All aboard the TOD shuttle bus, we’re moving FORWARD!!! I read some funny stuff about the GOP convention, Isaac (not about wishing harm, just the irony), the speakers at the convention, etc. There’s some hilarious stuff out there. I’m still trying to decide if I’ll watch. I know I won’t watch it live where it may count as ratings eyeballs. Maybe on-line if at all.
My political take today is that race will made to be as much a deciding factor in the outcome of this election as any policy you hear from either side. There is longer a need to use the dog whistle, it’s being blasted through megaphones
The Race card is mostly coming from Rove and Crossroads. One particular advantage the President has, is these Republican Strategists live in the bubble, and are not in touch with the poor or middle class Americans.
I think it’s coming from all quarters. Explicitly from repubs who are overt in their attempts to keep it front and center for their base. Implicitly from others who are in a position to loudly and publicly denounce it yet don’t. It’s not gonna be a black person, president or otherwise who will change minds or get racist whites to take note. It’s gonna have to come from respected whites to speak up and out about it at every opportunity. Anything less is like a wink and a nod. Chris Hayes and his panel touched on this yesterday. Some here condemned it. I didn’t understand that, cause it was about race relations, not PBO the president, the man.
Unfortunately, CH panel yesterday focused on the President and what he should do for race relations. It was very Tavis and Cornell like.
We can agree to disagree.
It absolutely was not. It was informative and there were several viewpoints. It was not done in the bubble of just say what I want to hear stuff. They explored race relations from different angles. Maybe it was too uncomfortable for some to hear. Not one of them blamed PBO, not one. If you got that, then you may have a predisposition to hear only the good news, not the real news on race. Every single one on that panel supported PBO. They lamented that he couldn’t be the President to his fullest potential because of the racial issues that hinder him.
Whatever!
I still say that now is the time to point out the R-money/Lyin’ Ryan would cut funding to FEMA
I couldn’t agree more, ison!
This is an immensely important resource. And when Joe Arpaio utters his lies this week, tweet this far and wide:

Ha!!
Thanks for the great wrap-up this morning, Chips! Glad to see the update on Tyren! I’m glad it appears he’s growing up so nicely. Bless him.
That cartoon of the seniors being “preserved” perfectly captures Ayn Paul’s fake-earnest look: the dopey eyes and self-righteous smile. The cartoonist is very talented and pegged his personality to a tee.
I’m tripping out tracking Hurricane Isaac on the Weather Channel and seeing folks that should be inside somewhere riding bikes on boardwalks and walking on the beach as their jackets and hair whip in the wind. Humans, I tell ya. 🙄
It’s always this way in Florida. A couple years ago we were warned of a hurricane and had already been experiencing high winds, rain, and thunder. My mom and I were watching the news and they showed people at the beach. They were so damned dumb, it was beyond all comprehension. 🙄
These people obviously have not sat thru a real hurricane. They have some romantic notions of the storm. I will wish them well and hope that they remain safe.
Watching the faux movie trailer was a great way to start the day. The full movie AKA GOP convention should be good for a laugh. I am amazed at the inventiveness of people. I don’t know how you find all this stuff Chips but thanks a million.
hahahahahaha…this is going to be a fun week. The so-called moderates of that Party are certainly trying to flex their muscle leading up to this Reinvention-Convention.
Jeb Bush: GOP ‘Needs To Change… Reach Out To A Much Broader Audience Than We Do Today’
By Judd Legum on Aug 26, 2012 at 10:16 am
This morning on NBC, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush delivered a pointed critique of the modern Republican party. Bush acknowledged that that the GOP “needs to change” and “reach out to a much broader audience.”
Bush insisted, however, that the problems with the Republican Party would not impact this year’s election.
http://thinkprogress.org/election/2012/08/26/745631/jeb-bush-gop-needs-to-change-reach-out-to-a-much-broader-audience-than-we-do-today/?mobile=nc
“Bush insisted, however, that the problems with the Republican Party would not impact this year’s election.”
————— why is that, Jebby? Cause you think with all the voter suppression and CU money y’all are gonna steal the election anyway? Not on your life, loser. Not on your worthless, stinking life. Screw you!
hahahahahaha…Lisa….
TELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL IT!!!!
Say It Loud…..
Shout, shout, shout, Let it all out.
You LisalovesObama, hit it out of the Park.
Love you Lisa. Tell us how you really feel 😀
You know, they actually think all of us are as stupid as their base.
Tell the truth Lisa. They just think we are going to allow them once again to steal this election. It was so easy before for them, that they think they can do so again. We don’t trust y’all backsides anymore.
GM Donna…
was Jeb bush invited to speak at the convention…
I’m not sure. I haven’t been following their schedule. I know Daddy and Brother were not invited (Bush Brand shall not be seen nor heard) so I don’t know if they made an exception for Jebby.
Daddy and Brother said they were Not coming. I am sure if they wanted to come, they would have.
The Dick Cheney is NOT coming, either.
Don’t think he’s touching that baby with a 10 foot pole.
hahahahaha…
Yes, but he was scheduled for Monday along with Chucklesbee. They’re not sure if he will be moved to another day, since Monday has been cancelled.
“Chucklesbee” 😆 😆 😆
thanks
Yes. He has a speaking spot too. The ONLY Bush……not W, not GHW, speaking.
thanksssss
Too late Jeb, too late!
Nate Silver has something new (or maybe not so new but today is the first time I saw it) with both a “NowCast” and a “Nov 6th Forecast”. To win POTUS needs 270 electoral votes. He has 290 on the NowCast and 297 on the Nov 7th Forecast. FORWARD!!
I wouldn’t trust that inbred toolbag as far as I could through him, ergo, I never listen to anything he has to say, whether it seems to be good or bad.
Every electoral tracking group or person had PBO very much ahead. One has PBO at 265 to Robme’s 197, others not quite as favorable. Either way on this one Nate is correct. I don’t agree with some of the ways he presents his political philosophy, but he’s a good numbers guy, even when we don’t like how they add up.
Check the web, electoral votes are in our favor.
I agree. I like Nate’s analysis.
UVA still has PBO at 247 EV’s, which is BS to me.
Pundits have already been trying to lower expectations for Romney’s “re-introduction” to the electorate at the convention by playing up the speakers who are being touted as the up-and-coming “future of the party” rather than the candidate himself. Let’s examine some of those shining stars and their soaring oratory skills, shall we?
So we have “Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock” … er, I mean Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal:
I just can’t bring myself to watch it – it was bad enough the first time! 😯
and the voice–he sounds like he’s reading his speech at the preschool story hour.
WOMEN FAVOR OBAMA 62 – 27 IN CNN POLL:
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/poll-obama-opens-big-lead-over-romney-on
Hmmm…Miss Ann really does have her work cut out for her.
Don’t worry; she’s the “secret weapon”.
At that rate, by the time Nov 6 rolls around, the polling for women will be on par with the polling for Blacks – 94-0
🙂
The 27% are the members of her country club and horse dancing classes.
The sad thing about TeaNN, they had these number on 8-24-12. They deliberately released and flamed the likely poll samples….when TeaNN in July denounced Bloogberg’s 53% to 41% poll that favored pres Obama. The media termed that poll an outlier. But TeaNN was flaming their 49% to 47% likely poll on Friday and discounting their 52% 41% registered poll numbers that favored pres Obama. These people are Mad and their racial animus is part of this equation.
So, their are Republicans outside our OFA office protesting the President and his stance on Medicare.
Only in America!
seriously? ai yi yi
Get your people to protest back.
Someone needs to print out the facts and hand them out to the sheeple outside those OFA doors! republicans have been trying to get rid of Medicare since the day it came into being!
HOLY SCHIZOPHRENIA! ROMNEY IS NOW TOUTING ROMNEYCARE:
ROMNEY: With regards to women’s health care, look, I’m the guy that was about to get health care for all of the women and men in my state. They’re talking about it on the federal level, we actually did something.
CHRIS WALLACE (HOST): So you’re saying, look at Romneycare?
ROMNEY: Well, absolutely. I am very proud of what we did, and the fact that we helped women and men and children in our state… And then with regard to contraceptives, of course Republicans, myself in particular, recognize that women have a right to use contraceptives. There is absolutely no validity whatsoever to the Obama effort to try and bring that up. O
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/08/26/745521/romney-touts-romneycare-im-the-guy-that-got-healthcare-for-all-the-women-and-men-in-my-state/?mobile=nc
ht democratic underground
Sorry, e3 — I didn’t see your post, before I posted downthread.
No problem, it’s just so astounding that he could switch positions so un-self consciously
🙄 I knew the term “Obamacare” was eventually going to get under his skin, lol…..
Up is down and down is up, and people actually fall for the Romney crap (not Chris Wallace, by asking the question, but he’ll keep still).
HAHAHAHA! Yes…let’s bring this up, Mittens:) YOURS COVERS ABORTION SERVICES!! Good for you, but your looney base isn’t going to like that!!
And I’m betting that the Republicans that are protesting more than likely need Medicare.
So the Etch-A-Sketch is in turbo mode today…

Romney Touts Romneycare: I’m The Guy That Got ‘Health Care For All The Women And Men In My State’
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/08/26/745521/romney-touts-romneycare-im-the-guy-that-got-healthcare-for-all-the-women-and-men-in-my-state/
Just two weeks after a Romney spokesperson faced a barrage of conservative criticism for highlighting the success of the governor’s Massachusetts health care law, Romney himself bragged that the measure has expanded access to women’s health care services, including contraception. During an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Romney said he was “very proud” of Romneycare — which includes an individual mandate — for providing coverage to all women and men…
…Indeed, almost all Massachusetts residents have complied with the law’s requirement to purchase health care coverage and women in the sate are now receiving a wide array of benefits, including family planning services.
But Romney would significantly reduce access to health care if he’s elected president. He has pledged to repeal Obamacare, characterized the law’s provision to expand coverage for contraception as an attack against religion, and has suggested that women should “vote for the other guy” if they expect improved access to birth control.
In the Fox interview, Romney also reiterated his desire to defund Planned Parenthood, arguing that taxpayer dollars should not fund abortion. Abortion constitutes only 3 percent of the organization’s services and it’s covered by private funds.
He. Can’t. Be. Serious.
By the time this campaign is over and he has to go back to California/Michigan/Massachusetts/Utah with his tail between his legs, he will have an official diagnosis of bi-polar. The swings are becoming extreme. He needs a nap.
His poll internals muck suck horribly. See cnn poll above. 2 to 1 women are breaking for Obama and kkkonvention hasn’t even started yet.
I think the Republican Women for Obama reality is really giving him heartburn. And since his campaign has no strategy or vision — only tactics and reactions — he’s gonna flop around from now until he loses on Election Day.
There’s a screw loose in many male GOP minds: they think they can repeatedly insult, demean and exclude women (or blacks, or Hispanics, etc., etc.) and STILL retain their vote. Baffling.
You see, the denunciation of a Romney surrogate when she touted the ACA with regard to Joe Soptic ads were Not done in a vacuum.
Robme is proud to have given healthcare to the men and women of MA but wants to known as the man who denied it for the rest of the country…..how insane.
Love it when we can sometimes see “the chickens coming home to roost” on the Republican Party. I knew it would happen eventually (after he was lambasted by FL Repubs for daring to welcome PBO at an airport, with a simple handshake, and after he supported the teachers in the state), but seeing former FL Gov. Charlie Crist come out to endorse PBO just makes my little heart glad. The only thing I’d ask is what took him so long.
Good west coast morning folks! I didn’t see a re-cap of the morning shows today so I decided to stay away from them. I may need to have a media blackout this week. I just can’t stand seeing or listening to Romney and his lies.
I’m with you, NurseShar. Nothing to see there, moving along.
On another note, does anyone know when the new season of Saturday night live begins? I’m convinced they had a huge role and alerting the public of Sarah Palin’s stupidity. Just think of all of the ammunition they have on Romney. It can’t help but help our side if they highlight all of his lies and awkwardness.
MHP now allowing the promotion of the Repub Party for AAs. Helpful!—-NOT! Another example of “with friends like these…..” I always think ——out of all the possible subjects to discuss, all of the political obstruction and outrageous dishonest charges against PBO, all the truths waiting to be told, what a Willard admin. would mean to peoples’ lives etc.—–and she and her producers choose to focus the spotlight on Black Republicans and try to make that a more logical shift of allegiance than common sense would dictate. BIG SIGH AGAIN!
We should send her that 94-0 support poll. 🙂
How quickly she changed her colors once she got a gig is quite revealing.
I can’t even watch her show anymore. The feeling of nausea that it brings on is just too much to bear.
Now she’s going to give Artur Davis some air time, his shift in allegiance, that he will be speaking at the Repub convention. What’s the point of all this? It’s “there are black people who don’t like President Obama” day on her program. It’s so counter-productive. Can’t she go have these types of discussions with these peeps at a coffee shop somewhere? Don’t waste precious air time. We don’t have the luxury for this type of wasteful musing right now—–it’s crunch time and the consequences are serious.
And MHP seems happy as a lark with all this, real pleased with herself.
The complete transformation from “I can contribute some helpful dialogue into the political discussions” on Maddow’s show a few years ago to this self-satisfied Melissa Harris Perry person is astounding.
It appears Cornell West may be right about her after all….
He called her a fake and a fraud.
Cornell West? Please.
MHP is not the she devil. The MSNBC network is on Promoting the TBGOPers. This is the eve of their convention. Bring all TBGOPer Black Americans is part of the reinvention of Romney. It is what corporate media does. MHP is Not in support of Romney. MHP is acceptable to me more than Cornell West. They were both in Princeton for years.
I hate to say this, but I don’t like MHP. I’ve tried to give her the benefit of the doubt several times and this morning I watched her entire show. That will be the last time I ever watch her show. Her insipid discussion with Black Republicans where she did not challenge them about the Republican anti-Black voter ID laws was just too much for me.
NEVER AGAIN!
Up with Chris Hayes may not be perfect, but at least he tries to push back against the Repub rhetoric once in a while.
I think she feels that she’s being provocative. She doesn’t realize that she’s not helping, and that it’s her child’s future that she’s playing with. They showed a snippet of her talking to Alex Witt yesterday morning, and Alex said to her that some of her views and commentaries engender pretty passionate responses from viewers. She took it as a badge of honor, and said that she believes that it’s her mandate to be provocative and to get people talking. She thinks this is the way to do it. People need to stop watching her show – she’s doing a lot of damage.
NICE! Got this off of Dashboard!!! PLEASE PASS AROUND AND MAKE IT VIRAL!!!
Here was the info that went along with the video:
Kim Singletary (Lady Kim) who sings the song says, “When an acquaintance heard me sing it, he asked if he could record it and put it up on YouTube to inspire others. Some ladies started playing it to get them in the mood to make calls for the Obama campaign. When I sang it at another Obama campaign office, I ran out of my 75 copies of the CD and had to print another 100!”
Right under the YouTube video, viewers can click and register to vote. Or they download an App for where and how to vote. This is so important for States where Republicans are trying to keep people from voting.

Simplyyyyyyyyyyyyy AWESome
Wow. that’s great DF! Thanks! 🙂
On a really positive note. I just found out that with the over 300 people who came out for our office opening/phonebank yesterday we made over 33,000 calls into Virginia to talk to supporters about voting for PBO this November. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thankyou. well done for the cause!
Amazing! That’s just awesome. The cumulative number for CA into battleground states in July was over 250,000!!
holy mackeral Donna – -wow!
Hey, hey, hey…..That is great News. Thank you for all You do.
The Crist endorsement is huge. He is popular in Florida, especially when compared to the present governor. Middle of the road, and mainstream.
I’m still mad at him. He should have remained in office and we wouldn’t be stuck with Lord Voldemort aka Rick Scott. But I appreciate the endorsement.
I say the same thing about Janet Napolitano….now we have batshitcrazybirtherhaterignoramous for gov!
And wasn’t it his buddy – the former chair of the Florida Republican Party – who came out and spilled the beans about all of the voter suppression destruction his fellow Repubs were planning, after they saw PBO win in ’08? Yeah, I’m thinking many more profiles in courage will be speaking out. Hallelujah – it’s raining “decent” Republicans (well, a few)!
A couple of texans are out in the woods, huntin’ and shootin’ when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head.
The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?”
/with that, gunnite folks.
Oh – this is a funny one! 🙂
I just can’t take the MHP show anymore, it seems as though most times the guest talk in abstract terms, they don’t speak to real world issues or solutions to those issues. It is almost like a group of well-off friends that meet up once a week at Starbucks and talk in a detached way about the community they live in.
Totally. It’s the philosophical worldview that the GOP THOUGHT Obama would use to govern. Instead they got their asses kicked by a genius legislator. So now they are questioning if he really was a professor! OMG, they are so not used to this kind of Democrat.
New “Chat away’ post everyone, will catch up later 😉
