Facebook: Kent State students and others wait in line for tickets to see President Barack Obama on campus on Sept 26. Distribution of tickets for the event began Sept 24.
Given the fact that you and your Chelsea buddy have been trying to jab Chips in the sides I wouldn’t be too hopeful, if I were you. Then again, she might be uber professional and give you a lovely, lovely award. Who knows what mood she’ll be in? 😉
Oh no, VC, dear, I am hopelessly off schedule today, due to a number of factors, ALL of which have nothing to do with my own self! Weekends in the skilled nursing are different from weekdays, but never mind, sometimes things take longer than we would wish! I am finally eating lunch, roughly 6 hours after breakfast, way too long for me, but all is well now! I occasionally have a chance to peek in, usually it is within minutes after our Chips has put up a new thread. Tho I am seldom first, I love that intuitively I am still connected to my TOD family!
Hello all, and congrats LL. I’m always a thread behind (at least) so I’m on this one celebrating the Romney’s circus of lies video. I figured something like that was coming, and glad to see it. Wish they’d gone on even longer, but I figure they know attention spans better than I do. My first awareness that something like politics existed was watching Adlai Stevenson on the news with my grandparents, so I’ve been around for a lot of campaigns and politicians. And I simply can’t believe what I’m seeing. Looking at Romney smirk through the statement that PBO doesn’t tell the truth about him is utterly mind boggling. “How shall I say this?” he asks, and well he should ask. Followed by lie after lie with the same “serious” face. And then, farther down the thread, to read, in a link to TPM, that his debate “strategy includes luring the president into appearing smug or evasive.” There are no words……
Except thanks to Chips, and the whole gang, for this oasis.
Billionaire J.K. Rowling is without a doubt the richest person in the United Kingdom. As the sole author of the mega-hit Harry Potter series, some Republicans in this country would suggest that “she built wrote that” all on her own and should therefore be left to enjoy all the fruits of her labor with no thought to her responsibility to anyone else.
Read what she said about HER economic patriotism…..Absolutely Fabulous!
Nice, have a safe trip. Remember don’t go messing around with the windows aboard the aircraft. I don’t know why, but for some reason they just don’t open.
Jeez louise, Amk, it’s heading towards winter here, what would I be doing with a ‘scorcher’ dress at this time of the year!! And let’s not be discussing money, that’s so low. Relationships like ours don’t count costs. Haven’t you learnt anything about having one inside wife and two outside ones? 🙄 /smh …min are so slow!/
Well hellloooo OOOO’s!!!! Wassup on this, yet another great gettin up day in the TOD caravan to Wednesday’s debate? I’m sure loving the speeches these past few days by our team. POTUS, FLOTUS, VPOTUS, and the whole crew are doing a grand job. I’m so impressed with the enthusiasm that has always been there, but now seems to have bubbled over as a force to be reconned with. Yay us!
My political take today is I wonder if the RWNJ will ever take a moment to self reflect on just what and how they have caused the complete failure of their party. I doubt it, since they will be forever trapped in the denial and anger phases of the grieving process for the loss of their country. They have already participated in the bargaining phase by agreeing to Mittiful as the candidate to save them. The final acceptance phase would be just too hard to handle. It would be the rapture upon them.
Df, I meant to ask you if you took the civics quiz a day or two ago, but I was too embarrassed with my score to bring up the subject. 😉 Now don’t go asking me where it was because I can’t remember, but I did think of you while doing it. 😆 If you really want to do it, ask Tally when next you see her, or Veryslowwriter. They did really well.
Well, I DID take it…and I would suggest that if anyone ELSE take it, that they do so without the “benefit” of gin and tonics. That’s all I’m saying about that! 🙂
No, Df. i posted this before I saw that you had already done it. I looked at the two you posted but the choices are too long for each question and too obvious, and I’m feeling too lazy to read them.
DF, I took it the Mitt Romney part and got exactly the same results as you. I also took the civics quiz, when I was on my third glass of wine, and scored 92%. May be I would have scored 100% without the wine.

I’ve been thinking about Romney’s “zinger” strategy if it even exists (I’m beginning to thing the Romney strategy is to just throw out all these debate pre stories to give the Obama folks and the media some sort of false expectation of …???)
Zingers only work if they make sense. “Noun, verb, 9/11” makes sense with someone like Guiliani. The same zinger means less against anyone else.
And usually they often come in a counterpoint against what your opponent says. Now does anyone truly believe that Romney will have many opportunities to do this with Obama? Like I’ve said, if you don’t at least give Obama the benefit of being a great debater, he is at least compotent. Plus unlike Obama, Romney has had more flip-flop on darn near every issue.
Plus I suspect like McCain, Romney has NEVER had to debate a person of color in his life. He’s got to treat POTUS with some respect. Obama can still win with smaller parts of the white electorate and that part can get even smaller if by trying to “zing” the first African American President he comes off as being flippant or disrespectful. Heck after McCain’s “that one” thing in his debate with Obama, you had people blistering McCain on his condescension…and people LIKED McCain. The village except for Halperin and the Faux-lite people don’t really like Romney, and he already has a problem with people thinking he’s a condescending douche!

Congrats! I notice you’ve been watching football.
Well, no, not watching, as I’m at work, but following online. I expect Chips to give me an appropriate prize for first.

High and Away! Lunchtime!
Pamela, didn’t you already have lunch, or was that snack time?
Oh no, VC, dear, I am hopelessly off schedule today, due to a number of factors, ALL of which have nothing to do with my own self!

Yeah, Chips seems to have implanted some sort of a bell in our subconscious. One of these days we should try and get her to tell us how she did it .
Huh, it’s you, on this of all days.
Okay ….
😥
If it makes you feel better, I completely expected Spurs to cough up the lead. That they didn’t is a minor miracle.
Manchester United lost? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The honey badger would like to tell you….”Honey Badger Don’t Give A Fuck.” 😆
Take heart Chips.
Hi LL! 😆
Is that a line for the Obamaphone?
An organized scientific experiment to check the height of the trees? 😕
So many people to measure trees? Typical BIG GOVERNMENT Obama.
VC?
No. No. I’m heeding your ‘hang in there’ advice, Pamela. No rushed entry for me.

Hi fellas (and gals – eye-roll). Waving from Dubai aeroporto.
Nice, have a safe trip. Remember don’t go messing around with the windows aboard the aircraft. I don’t know why, but for some reason they just don’t open.
Hi cm. I too don’t know. If they opened those damned windows, it would greatly help the smokers.
Hi! Have they searched your shoes yet? Did they find the jewels you were hiding for me…did they? They better not have.
Hi vc. jewels ? whatdayathinkthatI’mmadeofmoney? When I said scorcher, I meant dress.
Jeez louise, Amk, it’s heading towards winter here, what would I be doing with a ‘scorcher’ dress at this time of the year!! And let’s not be discussing money, that’s so low. Relationships like ours don’t count costs. Haven’t you learnt anything about having one inside wife and two outside ones? 🙄 /smh …min are so slow!/
Reminds me of this story.
There was this woman who was 100% personally responsible for making her husband a millionaire !!!
Yes, he was a billionaire when he married her.
wimmin/smh
See, there’s a min who loved his wimmin. 😉 😆 😆 {Hey, what’s the singular for ‘wimmin’?}
wimmun
😀
Works for me. 😆 😆 😀 Thanks, Bobfr!
Happy to oblige, amk.
And, couldn’t agree with you more about ‘water’!! 😀 😀 😀
Well hellloooo OOOO’s!!!! Wassup on this, yet another great gettin up day in the TOD caravan to Wednesday’s debate? I’m sure loving the speeches these past few days by our team. POTUS, FLOTUS, VPOTUS, and the whole crew are doing a grand job. I’m so impressed with the enthusiasm that has always been there, but now seems to have bubbled over as a force to be reconned with.

Everyone that has been here for awhile knows I love these things:)

Heh!!!
😉 😉 Of course, I can’t blame alcohol for MY abysmal performance because I don’t drink.
Alcohol got a very bad rap.
When you mix whiskey with water, you get drunk.
When you mix brandy with water, you get drunk.
When you mix rum with water, you get drunk.
When you mix gin with water, you get drunk.
See who is the villain here? The water.
🙄 🙄
I like your logic, amk!
Anything for a g&t, anything for a g&t. (which I am having right now). 🙂
AND BEER IS 97.9% WATER!!! THAT’S MY PROBLEM!!!!
Hey Df, I actually remembered that I’d saved it in a special spot for you. Here you go…

Are you thinking that I should take it again without my G/T??? Take the quiz I posted just now…SOOOOOOOOOO much easier!
No, Df. i posted this before I saw that you had already done it. I looked at the two you posted but the choices are too long for each question and too obvious, and I’m feeling too lazy to read them.
My results….
You’re more than a little liberal.
You’re a lefty! You might even be more liberal than President Obama. You won’t be voting for Romney come November.
Ya think!!
DF, I took it the Mitt Romney part and got exactly the same results as you. I also took the civics quiz, when I was on my third glass of wine, and scored 92%. May be I would have scored 100% without the wine.
Chips, everyone, this is very fine ….
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Bob. LOVE IT!
Agree, df. It deserves millions of views …
We should make it so 🙂 I just sent it to my daughter to post on her FB…and I posted to Dashboard…I love posting things to Dashboard…
Excellent!!!
excellent!
