The candles worked Pamela, never felt better! Thank you, you angel!

Happy to have you back Chips even though the others did a superb and thorough job of keeping us entertained. Looking forward to todays speech from the Pres.
Thank you Almablanca, great to back, and can never thank the Fab Four enough!
Great to see you back Chipsticks! We missed you! Fortunately you left us in good hands. LovelyPlains, Utaustinliberal, Liberal Librarian and Amk took good care of us. I am sure you are proud of them and the wonderful job they did while you were away. Any way, I hope you got some time to rest and re-charge. I know what you do is a labor of love, but it’s also quite demanding.
Hellooooooo Nathkatun7, thank you for the welcome home! The crew were outstanding, which means I’m going to try and bully them in to posting more – they don’t know what they started!!
Thanks Chiparoo.
Good afternoon..warm and sunny afternoon in N Ca..Hi Chips, contgts tnmtn..Need to catch up with you all..Love the pictures..

Here’s another justice being ‘featured’.
This video deserves a few million views, for sure ….
Thank you VC.

Hail to the twitter chief, and YW, Bobfr. 😀
Thanks VC for sharing this! Really powerful message. Lets hope the Chief Justice listens to this precious child with a wonderful and caring family.
President Obama’s incredible judgement has once again been vindicated by his nomination of Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Justice Sotomayor has been absolutely fearless in challenging the bully, Antonin Scalia, the darling of the right wing GOP.
By the way, lovelyplains, I wanted to thank you for your fabulous posts while filling in for Chipsticks, as well as all the information you routinely share with us everyday. Thanks also for your tweets and spreading TRUTH beyond TOD.
That’s very kind of you nathkutun. It truly was a team effort and all the support and kind words by everyone, made it all worthwhile.
Not to diss the young creative OFA workers (they’re in a class all by themselves), but the main ingredient in that special sauce was Barack Obama.
I think corporate America is more interested in the Silicon valley programmers, that developed algorithms to micro-targeted voters to transfer into selling product.

Yes, I actually read this article when it was first published last year. I wish these young tech stars all the success in the world. Their contributions are invaluable.

My oldest daughter posted a Facebook comment on this recruiting article today. She has gone through her undergrad, law school and grad school on full academic scholarships. She commented that better recruiting needs to be done on behalf of the colleges and universities. She also mentioned the need for some students to help out their families and live closer to home for work opportunities. I know she is talking from firsthand experience as she did attend an East Coast university while being from Alaska. Flights home were expensive so she did not make it home much while in college and worked while she attended school. Her Dad unexpectedly died the January prior to starting college and she had to take the best financial choice available. She was constantly asked why she had not gone to Harvard while working at a top DC law firm.
The geographical, financial restraints……..not to mention many underprivileged kids have never been on an airplane are only a few of the barriers. Sorry for you families loss as well. I’m sure you kids will carry your families legacy far into the future.
Good Afternoon Family!
We’re having a “mock” audit today and this is the first time I’ve had a chance to say hey to everyone.
Chips..I am so happy you’re back! Love, Love Love to you!
Lib Lib…hope wifey’s surgery went well. Sending all the best to you and her.
57&Female…good luck with Mr. 57…I got one at home just like him. That man logic is somethin’ else, isn’t it? LOL!
Thank you Dakota, love ya back!!!!
Welcome Backkkkk…MsChipssss…you were missed…(huggs)
The chippadees did goood while you were gone…but i still missed your presence….
Welcome back!
Thank you Prettyfoot!!!!!
“Chippadees” 😆
yessssss “Chippadees”…smilin,,,, i wish i could take credit for it…but someone else in TODvile thought of it first…. 😀
I think it was VC who coined the term! It’s quite an endearing name for the quartet that filled in for Chips!
hey nath,,,
yes it is….
No, it wasn’t me (not that creative). Can’t remember if it was LadyT or LadyHawke, or ….. I just knew I liked it because it was fitting.
VC, I stand corrected! My apology, and thanks, to the person who came up with that sweet term! All I remember is reading you comments using that term. And, knowing how creative you are, I assumed that it was you who came up with it.
I must say at this point, it’s about PBO and how he just has to wear those shades, like that, in those photos up top….. Ladies? :whoa:
Good evening everyone.
Welcome back, Chips.
This is the biggest bunch of bs garbage I have ever heard—–from “deeply religious” Mark Burnett—-of The Bible fame. He said that there is a real devil on earth and that darn devil created a “false likeness” of President Obama and their TV devil. Weak, weak, weak. He said the devil has stirred the pot and created this controversy because the devil met Jesus last night, and the devil is trying to distract from the Jesus appearance. Oh brother. Are these kind of people even for real? Demented.
http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/18/the-bible-mark-burnett-president-obama-jesus-christ-devil/
HAHAHAHA! If that Burnett actually said that (TMZ) well, he’s digging himself deeper with each utterance….
Burnett said the devil made him do it. Not very original.
I wonder if this is about the picture of the devil that is in some show on the history channel that has been showed on both Rev. Al and Chris Matthew’s shows. I know the station is denying any likeness and both hosts act like they do not see the similarity. I definitely see the likeness and wonder if the artist is affiliated with the GOP. I am an artist and painted 2 different paintings of Obama for the postcards for America election campaign in 2008. When you draw or paint you observe details in faces carefully and the eyes, nose, mouth and ears are the same as PBO’s. Those denying it are for political reasons or are not observant. Do not misinterpret that I am saying that PBO is the devil. He is not, but I want to know who owns the History Channel and who the artist is?
I agree with you Obama Grandmama. See Bobfr’s tweet below – and you will find the answer to the first part of your question. Now we need to find out who is the makeup artist.
Welcome back Chips. Your subs did an awesome job, keep them all on hand. It is so darned cold here today, fingers are not working well. this is the 2nd one I have typed out. And my poooor laptop isn’t doing any better. Snow & 40mi and hour winds. _:(
Alright. Got myself a cheap Lil laptop from best buy. I’m on my old one now. Setting up the new PC as we speak. Its just a transition computer until I can save up for the MAC that I want. Them darn MacBooks are way more expensive than PCs. Since I’m gonna pay all that darn money for it, I might as well get a good one with all the bells and whistles…
Congrats lamh and good luck with the interim laptop.
It will be worth it, and you will never regret it! I’m outta here for a bit, back later to check on your work! {{{{{TOD}}}}}
Some sanity
Hope many will follow the example!
I leave you with this, maybe you guys could light a few for me? http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=PBO I’m okay, but really need some new clients since my only lady passed a few months ago. Thank you, bbl.
Any time Pamela – I’ll add some more for the President on his travels
Drones baby, drones ….
You know something is working right when warlords would rather face the ICC, than our wonderful buzzing aerial hummingbirds….
Roger that 🙂
Or tribal retribution, eh!
Why isn’t this called what it actually is, the tyranny of the minority in the Senate? Calling on Ted Cruz, and all the right winger hypocrites who are always mouthing off about the Constitution: Exactly which part of the Constitution empowers a single Senator to put a hold on people nominated by the President to help run the Executive branch of the government? How can we call this a democracy when a single Senator can put a hold on nominees, thus depriving the majority of the Senators from exercising their duty to cast a vote for or against Presidential nominees?
Got to laugh – they want the EPA to do something – so they stop them having anyone to lead – talk about hidden agendas!
Lisa Murkowski is planning to do the same w/ the Interior Cabinet nominee. CEO of REI is going to be held up for a stupid bridge for a population of 500 people. Pay for it w/ you state revenue Lisa, you have plethora of Oil revenue
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/interior-secretary-nomination-becomes-embroiled-in-fight-over-alaska-refuge/2013/02/24/05ce7fc0-7d67-11e2-9a75-dab0201670da_story.html
Is Lisa emulating the bridge to nowhere? And they talk about being bipartisan – ALL any of them want is money – be it for themselves, their state or their district. A miracle the administration can operate at all. It makes one think – the only thing that ever brings “bipartisanship” in the congress is war – so that’s how republican administrations get things done – they start wars.
Update from the hospital.
Missus came through the surgery fine. She’s now in the room, groggy and in pain. But, barring complications she’ll be home tomorrow.
Thank you all for all your good thoughts.
Wonderful new LL, send my & TOD’s best wishes….hopefully the sleepless nights are a thing of the past and you both can move on to a wonderful, happy, fruitful life.
hooray! so glad her surgery was a success, and i know you’re breathing more normally again. please let her know we’re all rooting for her here at tod–and you know how that turns out! 🙂
Good news! Try and get some sleep yourself tonight, because once she comes home you’ll probably be sleeping with one eye open and one ear alert.
Wonderful News….LL
Continued blessings from the Creator..:-)
That’s wonderful news, LL! Wishing her a speedy recovery! I hope you will be able to take some time off from work to be with her as she recovers, and may be also to rest a bit. From experience, I know how hard it is taking care of family members after surgery. All the best to you and your family.
Great news LL!!! Rooting for her and a rapid recovery!!!!
I slept through your last post LL, time gets very confusing on the intertubes – only upwards from here – so pleased all is going well
Thanks for the update LL. This is wonderful news, and wishing her a smooth and speedy recovery.
great news. blessings to you and the wife.
I pray for rapid recovery and great blessings for you both.
Hey, prettyfoot58, thanks for sharing Greg Sargent’s spot-on tweet. RNC thinks Latinos/Hispanics and African Americans are idiots. The GOP’s outreach to the Latino and African American communities is all centered on PR. The GOP has no intention of changing their hateful right wing policies.
i do not trust the GOP…if you want to see how they govern…just look at the states that are GOP controlled….this is who they are….and no amount of repackaging will change that…and i would not give them a chance to prove otherwise…
Ask the folks of WI…ask the folks in MInnesota….with the bait and switch milarky
nawwwwww…nothing could get me to vote for a Republican,,,
I agree with you Prettyfoot! You can add: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona, Florida and Pennsylvania, to a list of states taken over by the GOP. People in those states are being traumatized by laws enacted by GOP dominated state governments.
Heads up – for those who watch cable – this should be interesting ….
#FORWARD
My intertubes is being too slow to watch it – will have to wait for a replay – can’t work out why the internet is being so sad for me today
FYI …
History Channel is owned by A&E Networks, which is owned by Hearst Corporation (50%) and Disney-ABC Television Group (The Walt Disney Company (50%).
I posted above I was suspicious that the artist of the devil was a GOP and wondered who owned the station? After painting 2 portraits of Obama in 2008 for the Postcards for America campaign I saw the likeness immediately. Portrait artists spend lots of time observing facial details and there is no question to me that the artist purposely drew the devil to look like an older Obama. Now that I know that The History Channel is owned by Murdock I can no longer count on it as a factual source of information.
I am in Twitter jail right now, can someone help reply to @38_28_38
here is my comment below thanks.

The more I get to know about the despicable GOP and the industries that they promote and support, the worse it gets:
“In the fall of 2007, Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU), the coal-mining giant, spun off all its unionized mines into a new company, Patriot Coal Corp. (PCXCQ) In the process, it got rid of the promises it had made over generations to coal miners and their families.”
It drives me nuts that corporations (are people my friend, according to R-money) that receive oodles in corporate welfare are allowed to breaks contracts with its workers when they’re most in need.
But do the miners keep voting for the GOP – because we don’t want no clean fuel – our state depends on coal – or is that just the message of the mine owners?

Welcome home Chips you were missed. Thank you for all the great standin to keep things running at a fast pace.
Thank you so much Sonjia, lovely to see you! The stand-ins were magnificent …. so magnificent I’m going to be sending them (virtual) red roses and medium-quality chocolates so they’ll keep on posting. It might be a form of blackmail, but what the heck!
