Ok, I’m making margaritas. Who wants one?
I do! I do! 🙂
Excellent!
Back off DF, I’m first in line
Hey woman! That cat lives in Phoenix. I’m first in line:)
Forget the kickboxing…check out the damn claws on that thing! You must really want to margarita BAD!
“to margarita”??? Really? 🙂 As you can see, I got mine BEFORE you did….it’s fabulous:)
YIKES!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Did you check http://www.backblaze.com Dear Chips? Outstanding value and peace of mind, for sure 🙂
Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo!!
By the way, how IS Stewie??
He had a play date today. He’s pooped.
i’m ROFL: Ms. Chip you are so good at what you do, there’s got to be a special place in heaven for you. Please take this as an ultimate compliment from one soul bestowing on another. Love Ya ❤ 😀
Ranman, I love you intensely, but I’m STILL sitting here without a margarita after LL provocatively cyberspacedly dangled one in front of my face – so my anger levels are at nuclear level right now. Need some fresh air.
Hahahahahahah, Aw shit, damn Ms. Chips, Hahahahahaha 😀 ;D 😀
LL, you got to do something cyberspacedly about the margarita’s for Ms. Chips. LMAO 😀
Congrats, LibLib on #1.
Glad to hear the wonders of modern medicine are working their magic on you.
Incompentently, I posted the wrong tweet as pushback to the C-NET article (previous thread).
You have NO effing idea how inhuman I’ve felt since Wednesday. My doc is a rockstar.
Hey LL, I don’t know what ails you, but I pray for a speedy recovery for you. As you have shared in the past, your wife illness and blessing of excellent prognosis, you have in essence shared a wonderful testimony that only encourages and give hope to all who are in ear shot. Thanks>>
I’ll toast you and our wonderful TOD friends with a glass of Siduri ‘Garys’ Vineyard’ Pinot 🙂
Is that good AMERICAN wine? (I just want to goad amk.)
Goad away, LL. Santa Lucia Highlands, California, grown Pinot Noir. Some of the best Pinot in the world, for sure!! 🙂
I live just a few miles from the Temecula Wine Country. I don’t drink, but it’s a nice place to spend the day (doesn’t compare with Napa, but not many places do). Some of the Temecula wines are reportedly pretty good.
Don’t know the wines from that region, Jennifer, but am grateful for the information.
amk is ungoadable.
I knew you’d do something cool 🙂
Damn Bob, that sounds like a very good wine. Don’t tease, show a glass,
+ 1,000,000,000,000
If I could, I would ranman, but only ‘blog tyrants’ can post pictures. That said, just check these two websites … some of the best wine in the world from absolutely beautiful vineyards …
http://www.roarwines.com
http://www.pisonivineyards.com/
Adam and his wife at Siduri source Pinot Nori from many vineyards but, without any question, the grapes from the ‘two Garys’ and other growers in the Santa Lucia Highlands are my favorites.
http://www.siduri.com
🙂
Hey Bobfr, thanks for the site on Pinot Noir. I will hunt that wine down. After reading about the vineyard & the family, I really want to try than Pinot Noir. Thanks for sharing.>> http://www.pisonivineyards.com/images/wines1.jpg
I live round the corner and up the street from you & the missus LL!
Seriously, close to Inglewood?
Seriously – Western off Venice (Mid-City)
Holla! I still plan to have a TOD gathering at Casa de LL before the summer is out.
Make this my RSVP confirmation 🙂
Put mines in a rock glass. Thank you very much!
Oh, I only make them on the rocks. No mushy crap for me.
I knew that:) That’s why I said you could make one for me
Amen to that!
I think Josh at TPM has become a full time Obot.
Hopefully, LL. I didn’t cut him any slack this week, or today, for sure 🙂
Moreover …

Paging moderator to isle 7 🙂
Found and freed, my beloved Bob!!!! 😆
Thank you dear!!! 🙂
I want the MSM and reputable sites like TPM to keep a tally of any mea culpas from the cheerleading media when @ggreenwald “broke” this story the week before last.
This story will unfold at a slower pace than the MSM has as attention span, but GG has set a new (low) standard of an ideolog pursuing a “story” to further his own agenda, facts and context be damned.
Oh, yeah.

This advice only works if you live somewhere where it’s not overcast.
Here in SoCal, we’re in our usual “June gloom,” (not complaining, I hate hot weather) and I think it’s raining over a good portion of the East (or am I wrong about that?).
Also, this picture is quite misleading. Saturn is hard to see with the naked eye, unlike Jupiter, Mars and Venus. It’s certainly not as big as shown in the graphic. (Just mentioning in case people think it would be easy to spy from their deck or balcony.)
Unless, you have a bionic eye, which I do. 🙂
Jovie 🙂
Well, doesn’t everybody keep an eye on the Moon and Saturn, every night, or is it just me? Ha!
Cool!
I am bringing this over from the last thread, “I am convinced that those Dems who claimed they knew nothing about the NSA programs (i.e., Sen. Merkel Sen. Udall, Rep. Ellison MN. et. al.) want you to believe that they were living under some rock.
The most likely excuse for their unawareness is Plausible Deniability. It’s shameful that they would stoop that low and play that game on very important constitutional and security matter. I don’t trust them nor do I respect them.
They are more dangerous to this country, than any outsider that wants to do harm. At least you know where the enemy is coming from.”
Could not agree with you more, ranman, and they have ZERO ability to do the ‘plausible deniability’ stunt because records exist for every briefing they have been invited to attend and whether they did so, left early, etc.
As indicated to Senator Feinstein earlier today ….
…. we need to shame these ‘public servants’ sworn to ‘protect America from all threats foreign and domestic’ and never allow them to think we aren’t paying attention to what they do.
#FORWARD Togther
Bobfr, hear hear!!!
They are liars. That’s what they do: lie. I don’t have one ounce of respect for any of the people in congress with the exception of Nancy and John Lewis and maybe Hoyer. Everyone else is a ratfaced, double crossing liar, democrats and republicans alike.
Say it, Lisa. You have a gift for calling it as you see it.
I would add Elijah Cummings.
True… Forgot about him.
Trying my hand at the music thing.
WRONG ONE!!!!!
Chips, I am so sorry! I wanted to post music to go with the post and I posted the wrong one ::hangs head in shame::
Noooooooooooooooooo worries Mary!!!!
dumbdumbdumbdumbdumb But I got the right one this time.
I am trying again and if it doesn’t work, I will quietly creep away and never show my face again.
Okay, good.
That’s quite lovely, Mary. Thank you for persisting!!
Thank you Bob. I heard it on a Canadian show – Flashpoint. about a strategic response unit. I loved the show and on some of the shows during difficult times the head of the unit would say”My hand is on your back” and that’s what I want to say to PBO.
Well, I think it worked, honey! You’re good.
🙂
Good job Mary.
We learn by making mistakes and correcting them 🙂
I’m always saying that to the second graders 🙂
And you applied it wonderfully here – you go girl !
You have a “what I did over the summer” story to share when school resumes 😀
🙂 🙂 Too funny!
😀
Ok, in honor of me being able to sit for longer than 10 minutes, I’ll have a musicky night owly thing for when we get busy here.
You’re too funny. Glad you’re feeling better!
You think I jest. I do not! I’ve been laying on my side for 4 days.

The U.S. government only searched for detailed information on calls involving fewer than 300 specific phone numbers among the millions of raw phone records collected by the National Security Agency in 2012, according to a government paper obtained by Reuters on Saturday.
The paper circulated on Saturday said that data from the NSA phone and email collections programs not only led U.S. investigators to the ringleader of a plot to attack New York’s subway system in 2009, but also to one of his co-conspirators in the United States.
“The End.”
Now, the President will get the apologies, right?
Don’t hold your breath. Too many asses to cover. Cowards. Every last one of them.
Exactly.
Two tried-and-true men STILL standing in D.C.: President Obama and Vice President Biden.
I’ll add: Attorney General Holder and Secretary of Defense Hagel! There are others, but these four are some of my personal favorites!
Okay?! Where are Dumb and Dumber tonight? Think come Monday night at 8 and 9pm they’ll be reporting this?

Signed, Sealed and Delivered Via the Twitter Machine by Our TOD Doc, Bobfr 😉
Thank you very Much 🙂
🙂
Happy to oblige, Nena 🙂
well, my night owl chat has made me happy, so I hope it will make all of you happy as well.
Now we have to be happy, too? What else will this blog expect of us?
(Can’t wait, LL!)
The only thing that will make me happy is a margarita – email one right now, buster.
You seem to mistake “email” for “transporter”
This is 2013, do it.
That’s what I keep saying about warp drive. WHERE’S MY FUCKING WARP DRIVE, OBAMA?!?!!1
😀 😀 😀 😀
Don’t know if you’ve seen this, but it seems significant to me that Snowden handed over IP addresses to the Chinese (I know Bobfr has responded to @joshtpm’s tweet)
Blame PBO :
But you know that some rwnjs will credit Dennia Rodman!!!!
Or that HBO show from Last Night…..I have even forgotten it’s name.
That is Dennis Rodman….. sorry.
Well, he DID pose in a wedding dress…. An insult to all good trannies.

Before you freak out – CNET’s story about the NSA “eavesdropping on your phone calls” is completely bogus http://lgf.bz/11DHQBv

That’s what my tweet from Josh at TPM referenced. Didn’t even last 90 minutes.
Wonder if I’ll get a response 😀 😀 😀 😀

Night owl music chat shall drop once the comment count clicks a few more times.
Jose to his team at the end of next season:
“Why didn’t you cleeeeek a few more times, LOSERS!’
😎
Says the woman whose team is being coached by someone who’s NEVER WON A DAMNED THING. *sweet smile*
Moyes 2012-13 budget: £3.26
Won: Nothing
Jose’s 2012-13 budget: E889436649863846764785347534872354875238458273548354872354m
Won: Nothing
Verdict: Equals.
yeah yeah yeah, when Moyes wins championships in 4 different top flight leagues, then you can talk. Something tells me Sir Alex will wall him up in his wine cellar and take over again by season’s end.
Jesus, is it August yet? Confederations Cup won’t cut it.
I know, seriously – it was on my TV today and I said “go away”. These are pointless months in our lives.
All these detractors have become Entertainers…..But Not Good ones…..
