The Obama Diary 
Hello from sf.
Nice videos.
One of my favourite cities!
My favorite! Goodnight, theo67!
Good night, Jacq!
How about this picture?
Wow!
Jovie, catching up on last thread and saw the picture of Zion Nat. Park you posted, I was there last week at this time, first time, won’t be the last, beautiful and peaceful.
LIVERMORE, Calif. — The makers of “Star Trek: Into Darkness” went boldly where few have gone before when they visited Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s largest and most energetic laser system. With the approval of the Department of Energy, this unique facility was utilized for the first time as a film set.

Congratulations COS and Jovie.
Head Butts!
I’m loving these musical evenings. Is anyone else fond of Vampire Weekend or OK Go (who played at the President’s 50th birthday party in Chicago)?
I looooooooooooove OK Go!
It’s hard to go on HP am now trying to find other news sites other than the umbrella yellow bellied sites.
Try BBC, Aljazeea English, France World and, of course, Whitehouse.gov. Come to TOD to get a broad perspective of what’s going on. Click on Chip’s Blogroll and you get links to other good sites. HP is unbearable–haven’t gone there in years.
Wednesday night, 7pm, we have a date with the White House!!!!!!!
I love Carole King! Guessing the President’s friend James Taylor will be there, too.
And I just read the list of performers, and it looks good. Thanks for the info, Alycee. Goodnight to ya!
Checking in for my night shift

http://www.balloon-juice.com/2013/05/17/coda/ Pretty much nails it. Night all….3 and 1/2 more days with kidlets….!!!
loved it. Tweeted
Laughing at AP headline which, more or less, says ‘Sigh! We gave it our best shot, but it looks like Obama is going to weather the storm’.

Morning dotster3. “Damn, we had him but he got away. I need a beer.” đ
They’re putting pressure on him, hoping that he screws up.
I think he’s used to it by now.
Just as he doesn’t respond to anything without getting all the facts, he does initiate anything without think through all the what ifs. That’s why he gets feedback from his staff and actually listens to what they say. He is a chess level strategist as opposed to their checker playing.
CORRECTION…without THINKING through all the what ifs.
I’m sure some members of the GOP don’t mind a little sprinkle now and again.
Ha! Amk – I was going to tweet it myself but you said it so much more….. eloquently….. đ
Jon Karl who lied about obtaining emails from the white house and wrote the disgusting Benghazi article on ABC didn’t like the fact that he was getting push back from people who rightfully called him and ABC out for printing lies and not having the decency to apologize or at least correct their mistakes. So he got this twitter handle suspended. The twitter handle is now off suspension. The media likes to accuse Pres. Obama of Nixonian behavior. This is a perfect example of Nixonian behavior.
seriously UT with everyone who was mashing up Jon Karl last night he went after this account? What did Jon do, go after all who sent him virtual head slaps? what a loser
Howdy, Amk! You know what’s interesting – I go to comment on this tweet and find that I’m blocked by the Scott Finley and I haven’t a clue why. It’s the same way I discovered I’m blocked by LOLGOP and Newsweek (? or one of those news outlet that I don’t even follow).
There’s something strange going on. zizi2’s twitter had me blocked yesterday (and I heard it had happened to others as well). zizi thought it was something he/she did and was able to unblock me, but now I’m getting suspicious that something else is happening.
UT and Nena…enjoyed the music in the Night Owl Chat II. Thanks
Blog tyrants, I have an idea for a future Night Owl Music Chat…
There are a number of music/movie buffs on this blog. There are many movie theme songs, songs created for movies, songs made popular in movies, etc. I thought a good Night Owl movie chat might be one with some favorite songs from movies. Iâm sure a lot of you have some favorites from movie classics to more recent movies.
Some songs that come to mind are
⢠âLaraâs Themeâ from Dr. Zhivago
⢠âMoon Riverâ from Breakfast at Tiffanyâs
⢠âIn the Arms of the Angelâ from City of Angels
⢠â St. Elmoâs Fire Love Themeâ from St. Elmoâs Fire
⢠âThe Glory of Loveâ from The Karate Kid
⢠âUp Where We Belongâ from An Officer and A Gentleman
⢠âEvergreenâ from A Star is Born
⢠âAquariusâ from Hair
⢠âWhat A Feelingâ from Flashdance
Great idea!
đ Hopefully the blog tyrants will think so as well. Would love to see the movie songs that other TODers like.
That could be today’s project, if you keep it going! When I wake up, I’ll try to think of others. (Breakfast at Tiffany’s changed my life, among other movies – Ha!)
Mooooooooooooooorning early birds! Just working on R&S, back in a bit-ish.
Morning, Ms Chipsticks. I’m signing on to say that I’m quitting this online business as I’ve just discovered that there’s no privacy at all, at all!
Just had a 45 minutes+ conversation with my BFF from high school with whom I haven’t spoken in over NINE years! She found my phone number, my address, as well as my gmail address, etc, etc, online! đŻ I am SHOCKED I tell you! In her case I don’t mind, but what’s the point of having an online name etc. and blog address if the technology just connects them all together? Jeez louise!
.
.
O well, since the dots have all been connected, (and since I can’t survive without the TOD village) I suppose I might as well grin and bear this revelation of my privacy.
ahhh VC you’ll just have to stay with us then! đ
I guess I have no choice, a4A. đ
Morning! Just waiting for “ish” to get here đ
“ish” makes time a moving target. It means you’re never late. đ
My daughter would so agree with your timeframe
My husband is a restorer of fine antique clocks, and he doesn’t know what five minutes is. As in “Ill be done in five minutes.” “Wait in the car. The service call will only take five minutes.”
For someone whose business it is to respect time, he is incapable of it.
đ
My grandfather used to say “I’ll be there ‘directly’.” Directly is so akin to “ish” in that you never knew how long “directly” meant.
Morning, Df! Now if this ‘ish’ could only be long enough for me to go cut the grass front and back, that would mean I wouldn’t fall too far behind too. I’m waiting to start so as not to disturb the neighbours who are doing the Saturday morning sleep-in. đ Or so I tell myself.
Me too!! My sprinklers went off this morning, grass is wet. Oh darn.
Morning TODers – thanks for keeping me sane and that ain’t an easy job!
I missed all the flutter about this yesterday…too busy with MY JOB, unlike the ignoramous that supposedly started this bullpucky, but I agree wholeheartedly with Smartypants on this one!!
http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2013/05/umbrellagate.html
Do you remember gwbush’s umbrella gate? His turned inside out. Chips, might you have a picture of that scandalous event?
I think that was posted here yesterday…somewhere, with that goofy look on his face and the umbrella turned inside out. Good grief. He was a walking mistake.
hi df; I read every post every day but I must have missed it! What a buffoon!
Your wish is my command, early bird!
Can I claim first even though the r&s isn’t posted yet? lol
Noooooooooo đ Ask vc how that works out!
lololol
You called?
SERIOUSLY???????????? NO KEYSTONE ANYWHERE NEAR USA!

oh I just read this DF and it’s right by the Detroit River. Nice. How’s the run off from that not going to pollute Detroit’s waterway?
You know, I really should go cut the overgrown grass. Catch you all later! (Watch CC upload the R & S the minute I sign off.)
BTW, 19 million is creeping up. I think I’ll help a bit by signing out this time instead of putting my laptop on sleep or hibernate as I usually do. Toodle-di-doo for now, folks. đ
ruh roh. laptop low on juice gotta go do chores anyhoo! later kids đ
Morning (again) everyone, got severely delayed, but will have R&S done in next 30-ish mins. Happy Saturday!
Morning Chips. Can’t wait.
Aarghhh it still pisses me off how the Dixie Chicks and any other person who opposed Bush’s illegal war was considered not a patriot. Anyway…here’s the press – one of the good guys in fact –who stood by and didn’t say a thing about the Patriot Act (which most of it includes invasion of privacy on us citizens) be passed all the sudden terming any enforcement of it as “government seizure”.
Nate Silver schools Peggy Noonan.
