Good Afternoon!
Congrats NCLB on #1 🙂
Wow! First on board finally.
Congrats No Child Left Behind…..You are 1st to arrive.
Happy Thursday to you!
Thank you, Cindy. Happy Thursday to you too. I am staying indoor, away from the 19 F degrees and the ice-covered roads.
I can’t blame you….38 here in Florida kept me in bed. Moving real slow today.
Thanks, Nerdy Wonka, for the post and beautiful pictures.
You’re welcome, NCLB. Congrats on first!
Thanks for the reminder. I will not miss it.
Keep up the good work FLOTUS.
It sounds like old man Huckleby Finn is in trouble with his mouth-GOP meeting…..the repukes just can’t get right about women,
LOLGOP @LOLGOP 15m
If you’re defending Mike Huckabee using the words “women’s libido,” you’re losing.
Amanda Marcotte @AmandaMarcotte 21m
Wiggle, wiggle, conservatives: There’s no way out of it. Huckabee defined the use of contraception as lack of
self-control.
Hey Ladyhawke,
Happy Thursday to you!
Poor, poor repukes, they really just can’t help themselves : )
OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT
Hey Cindy — they are truly pathetic. Remember this ….
GOP launches candidate training: How to talk to women
—————————————
“Let me put it this way, some of these guys have a lot to learn,” said one Republican staffer who was at the strategy session in Mr. Boehner’s office, Politico reported.
The NRCC, meanwhile, has held “multiple sessions” on the same topic, a GOP aide reported.
Part of the fear: The GOP doesn’t want another Todd Akin-like moment, when the Missouri Senate-hopeful dropped with a thud in polls after speaking on the campaign trail about “legitimate rape.” Sen. Saxby Chambliss later attributed some sexual assaults in the military on male hormones, sparking accusations that he was dismissing and making excuses for what’s emerged as a top-talked about criminal issue.
—————————————
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/5/gop-launches-candidate-training-how-talk-women/
Yes, I remember it well. I laughed so hard-thought I would cry : ) …….training to learn how to talk about women…insane.
My only question to these brain dead fools; what ja got against us women?
Improper grammar, but that it is just how I would state it, if I was in the Huck’s face.
They act as if we are some exotic, other species “out there” somewhere. Do they not ever talk with their wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, teachers, co-workers….or is one of the problems that they always TALK. They never LISTEN.
Jim Stuart’s New Blog today is talking about how the president LISTENS…..we know he does by what he says and does. These people never shut up long enough to listen, they are always talking, so they hear only themselves….never do they hear women, or minorities, or anyone who is slightly different from them. They think the way to get women’s votes, because that’s all they’re interested in, is just to mouth the right words.
They’ll never get it, and fortunately, I think women are waking up to and realizing this fact.
OOOOOoooops:
MAJOR Ooooooooops….
Perhaps they’re trying to trace the money used to make that film. ETC.
MSNBC’s pm line up, which has become All-Christie-All-The-Time will be interesting this evening. Ha!
Yep. “Mission creep” by the feds. Love it.
It is Getting Closer…..and some bat poop NJ style are about to drop……Caution………stay away from the GWB.
Maybe there would be some hope for the 1.3 millions families who lost their income, if the media gave noise to their plight, as they are giving to this rich kid the Beeb.
Sadly, what ever his problems are, that keeps him trouble, it’s probably just a matter of time before we are reading his obituary. I don’t understand how so many of these talented individuals, who have so much, throw their talent, and eventually their life away. I felt the same way about the beautiful and talented Whitney Houston. You could see her train wreck coming, it was just a matter of when. Clearly, money doesn’t make you happy, but there is so much they could do to help others.
#AFFLUENZA
I called CNN and yelled STOP WITH THE JUSTIN BIEBER REPORTS……..!!!! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID A REPORT ON THE LONG TERM UNEMPLOYED ?????????????????
YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH Linda!
Happy Thursday…
THANK YOU!!!!!
This must be, in part, to deal with all the recent scandals:
Interesting ….
Congrats on 1st NCLB!!!
BBC had an interview with him last night. He seemed like he was trying to defuse the situation.
Oh Bob, I know how carefully you’ve been watching this struggle and what a huge development this is, potentially. I am with you cheering on the forces of democratic government in Ukraine and wherever else wemay find them.
Bob, two questions: What is Azarov’s position relative to Yanukovych; and 2) why, if the govt is thinking of resigning did they decide to start acting like thugs and bullies. They have shown themselves unfit to govern in a civilized society. They should have resigned weeks ago.
LOLGOP @LOLGOP 15m
———————————-
Mike Huckabee just had his Sister Souljah moment in that he likely offended Sister Souljah.

Chills LL good place to replay yesterday’s “Freedom”
Good. The Ukrainian police should all resign in protest against the government’s brutal tactics.
U.S. Attorney Issues Subpoena to Christie’s Re-election Campaign

LOLGOP @LOLGOP 5m
How about we stop getting the government involved in regulating the libidos at all and let it focus on… I don’t
know… drinking water?
#UncleSugar …. this meme will stick!!!!
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Huckabee for the GOP nominee! Remember four years ago when some Dem’s were actually afraid of Huckabee because he could appear so jovial (or some such nonsense).
Yes I do, 57&F, and I thought it totally ridiculous at the time. Today, he just evidenced, for the gazillionth time why he has zero chance of being President.
BTW, #UncleSugar is trending big time on Twitter 😀 😀
Keep talking, Repubs, keep talking……..
57, the jaw-dropping thing people said then was that he was “moderate.” I guess they didn’t specify what universe.
I’d blocked that out because it was the most absurd thing I’d ever heard. Frankly, it’s our side that starts a lot of this b.s. because if a Repub says one decent thing only once, then we forgive everything. We did it with Christie, because he actually said ‘yes’ to the Federal check.
You are 100% correct 57!!
Our idiot side contributes to the narrative. Sigh.
Christie convinced everyone that he was fixing everything in New Jersey. he didn’t mention that he was fixing business, the homes of the wealthy and the white – and a little infrastructure in the areas where Mayors supported his election.
What really irks me
He paid $38 million to a firm to provide software to “control the spending” yet he allows no oversight or information on that spending. His people rant about what has been “allocated” – but no-one is ranting about what they received.
Time has come for all federal money to go directly from the feds to the local communities.
Eric is pure genius 🙂
This made me really LOL—–maybe because I have 3 kids
good morning todville! saw this and hope you enjoy it as much as i did (sorry if it’s a repeat–haven’t started through the day’s tod comments).
‘ As scandal swirls around New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie like the snowstorm that accompanied his second inauguration, he would do well to remember the magnificent mother of 10 he defeated by defaming her in his very first bid for public office.
He should remember Cecilia “Cissy” Laureys and the old tough guy’s axiom that what goes around comes around. ‘
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/01/23/remembering-ma-laureys-the-mother-of-10-christie-slandered-to-win-his-first-election.html
The Harry Reid article discussing Sec Gates book in also interesting.
That is a wonderful story about Ma Laureys – what a torrent of strength and love. Typical Christie involvement – at least his lies and current woes gave us the story of this lady – good news is usually hidden.
Brilliant!
SLAP!!!
And he’s right.
They are holding the interview until tomorrow…………but leaking part of it…
I hate that…..show it today…..
CNN is reporting Holder says Snowden has to plead guilty and come back….then he will talk about what happens next.
Is anyone really talking about giving that traitor Snowden clemency?
GG & Snowden would be the main two doing that talking
No matter what our kids
And the new generation think about us,
WE ARE AWESOME !!!
OUR Lives are LIVING PROOF !!!
To Those of Us Born
1925 – 1960 :
At the end
Of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno. If you don’t read anything else,
Please
Read what he
Said.
Very well stated,
Mr. Leno.
~~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930s, ’40s, ’50s,
’60s and ’70s!!
First, we survived
Being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank
while they were
pregnant.
They took aspirin,
ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then, after that
trauma, we were
put to sleep
on our tummies
in baby cribs
covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.
We had no
childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,
And, when we
rode our bikes,
we had baseball
caps,
not helmets, on
our heads.
As infants and
children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts,
no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..
Riding in the
back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water
from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one
soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes,
white bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren’t overweight.
WHY?
Because we were
always outside playing… that’s why!
We would leave
home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights
came on.
No one was
able to reach us all day.
–And, we were
OKAY.
We would spend
hours building
our go-carts out
of scraps
and then ride
them down the hill,
only to find
out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned
to solve the problem..
We did not
have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes. There were
no video games,
no 150 channels on cable,
no video movies
or DVDs,
no surround-sound or
CDs,
no cell phones,
no personal computers,
no Internet and
no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS
and we went
outside and found them!
We fell out
of trees, got cut,
broke bones and
teeth,
and there were
no lawsuits
from those accidents.
We would get
spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand,
And no one would call child services to report abuse.
We ate worms,
and mud pies
made from dirt,
and
the worms did
not live in us forever.
We were given
BB guns for our 10th birthdays, rode horses and used games with sticks and tennis balls, and
-although we were
Told it would happen- we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes
or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just
walked in and talked to them.
Little League had
Tryouts
and not everyone
made the team.
Those who didn’t
had to learn
to deal with
disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing
Us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have
produced some of the best risk-takers,
problem solvers, and
inventors ever.
The past 50
to 85 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas..
We had freedom,
Failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are
one of those born
between 1925-1960, CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want
to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers
and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are
at it, forward it to your kids, so they will know how brave and lucky their parents
were.
Kind of makes
you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it ?
~~~~~~~
The quote of
the month
by
Jay Leno:
“With hurricanes, tornadoes,
fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist
attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?”
Wow. This is awesome and poetic. Thank you for sharing.
Yardarm, this brought back so many memories. We go crazy worrying about child car seats. When a child faces forward or backward, when they have to be changed with age, how padded they are, whether they have cupholders, etc, etc. etc. As kids we all tumbled around in the backseat and no such thing as a seat belt lurked in the seams. When our mothers carried us as infants, they held us in their arms in the front seat. It’s stunning that we’re all alive to talk to each other.
I’ve seen this a few times over the years. It does bring back SO MANY memories. And, yeah, how are we all alive to talk about this past??
This is a gem.
Oh my gosh…this is so my generation (1956). Yes, do I remember the mud pies and they were fancy too. We never wiped the bottle off-your turn , drink up.
Don’t forget the whippings; go outside and bring me the switch, the one you (child) chose yourself off of the tree, and it better not be a small one. How did we survive? Everyone took care of each other’s child and your teachers were your second parents; not your lover.
My, my how times have changed.
Thank you yardarm756….I LOVE IT!!!
The issues discussed in this article are definitely something that needs our focus and attention:
The Tea Party and the structure of American government
Senator Chuck Schumer gave a pretty good speech today about “the rise and potential fall of the Tea Party.” In it he dissects the blatantly self-interested nature of Randian plutocrats like the Koch brothers, and has a solid takedown of their set of preposterous underpinning ideologies. But while he is definitely on to something, I don’t think he has quite finished the case for why the Tea Party has been so successful. He does take on some of the structural problems which are plaguing the American political system, but more is needed.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/01/23/the-tea-party-and-the-structure-of-american-government/
Love it, NW. Not to mention the fact that the idea of a woman’s ‘sugar’ anything, daddy or uncle, is so old fashioned Mary Martin was singing about it in the 1940’s. Huckabee’s world attitude is like an insect in amber–frozen in time.
Heh…oh dear…
A woman ?
They think that will work ?
hahahaaaaa
Beggars are no choosers. They’re desperate at this point.
I used to think she was a cardboard cutout that Boehner put behind him……then one day she actually spoke and I jumped ( just kidding about the jumping)
Plus a tea party response by ? —–Mike Lee?—-which msnbc said they will also air. So——do the Dems get a response to their additional response, to sorta even things up? (hahahaha)
I knew they’d find some RWNJ woman. To show how pro-woman they are. God.
hopefruit2, Maybe Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers is a black latino gay woman.
Sadly, no – she’s a self-loathing conservative Republican from Eastern Washington State.
exactly – how could you be a GOP rep and a woman without a good dose of self loathing.
They know it’s a career ender – better to end the career of a woman – they have no place in the GOP world
And she should truly be ashamed to be a GOP representative. No woman should support the hate within the souls of the GOP.
😀 😀 😀
I thought the GOP hated the IRS..
Gawd….I am getting dizzy

VIDEO: Huckabee reflects on women, libidos, and ‘Uncle Sugar’
By Steve Benen
——————————
And finally, there’s the latest look at Mike Huckabee’s public persona. As we’ve discussed before, he may have a jovial, non-threatening reputation, but the Arkansas Republican has a deep mean streak. It was, after all, Huckabee who spoke out soon after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, when tying the lack of government-sponsored religion to the tragedy.
Huckabee has also falsely claimed that President Obama “grew up in Kenya”; he’s endorsed “death panel” garbage; he’s equated the national debt with the Nazi Holocaust; and has gone after the LGBT community with over-the-top rhetoric. In August 2009, Huckabee even argued on his own radio show that Obama’s health care reform plan would have forced Ted Kennedy to commit suicide.
Today, he appears to have added to his greatest-hits list.
—————————————
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/huckabee-women-libidos-and-uncle-sugar#break
I believe it will go something like this.
Hate-hate-Obama is terrible-Obama is terrible-hate-hate-Obama is terrible-followed by a lot of dead air time. Because taking America back to pre-Magna Carta days is not a ratings getter.
HF, somehow Republican and vision don’t work together.
[Hope this hasn’t been discussed already. Still trying to catch up on TOD. Not into The View or that gasbag, Ann, but this bit made me say, Ahem!]:
Ann Coulter’s appearance on The View today to promote her latest book, Mugged, quickly erupted into a back and forth between her and the show’s co-host, actress Whoopi Goldberg.
No stranger to controversial comments, Republican pundit told the show’s co-hosts that liberals use race-mongering “to promote causes that have nothing to do with facts and, in fact, harm blacks,” and that white people’s response to the O.J. Simpson trial verdict was “the best thing that ever happened to black Americans.”
Not long into the interview, Goldberg exploded with frustration.
“Hold up, Ms. Coulter. Please stop,” she interrupted. “If you’re going to talk about race, at least know what you’re talking about.”
“What don’t I know?” Coulter asked.
“Tell me how much you know about being black,” Goldberg responded. “You just made all these statements about how black people feel. Tell me how you know.”
.
More here: http://thegrio.com/2012/09/27/whoopi-goldberg-to-ann-coulter-tell-me-how-much-you-know-about-being-black/
Huckabee —–“Democrats tell women they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government.”
Does Huckabee feel the same way about ACA coverage of Viagra?
So girls…remember Uncle Sugar. I’m thinking more in line of Uncle Sweet and Low as I do count calories!!
I honor of Sugar:
Yeah……don’t many women use birth control because it’s the MEN who can’t control their libido, and they don’t want to be pregnant all the time??? He needs to read the tales of women with ten to twenty children not too long ago who died WAY before they should from childbearing and associated conditions!!! Or watch Call the Midwife on PBS which takes place in Britain before dependable birth control….those poor women were constantly pregnant and worn out!!!
Of course in those days of too many births, men outlived women and had at least two or three wives. Maybe that’s what he longs for!!!
But Huckabee is fine with medically unnecessary ultrasounds and auditing of rape victims so they don’t get abortions? Which party is it that is supporting the government intrusion into every woman’s personal business?
It’s the Huckabees (and McDonnells and the other Neanderthals) who are the real purveyors of an intrusive nanny state.
I wish all women of America would declare a “libido boycott” for Republican men! I bet you if that happened Republican men, as well as the manufacturers of Viagra, Cialis, and other male enhancement drugs, would be the first in line to put pressure on idiots like Mike Huckabee to stop peddling their nonsense. Speaking as a man who witnessed the birth of my two children and my grand niece, all I can say is that us men, until we can give birth to babies, should STFU when it comes to reproduction. We really have no idea the pain and suffering it takes to bring a life to this world. Our contribution is purely based on fun and momentary ecstasy.
Witnessing the birth of my children convinced me that African religions that depicted God as “Female” were absolutely on the mark. Incidentally, instead of preaching abstinence to women, Huckabee and his ilk should be preaching abstinence to us men. Some one needs to tell the idiot Huckabee that if men controlled their libidos women would have no reason to turn to his hideous so called “Uncle Sugar.”
On June 16th this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the loss of my beloved sister who opted for an illegal abortion because coming from a supposedly Christian family she could not face the shame of having an “illegitimate” child. Guess what, the man who impregnated her suffered no consequences whatsoever. He eventually married and fathered other children. Forgive me, but I get so pissed with the”holier than thou” men, like Huckabee, who refuse to acknowledge the unique burdens of women (not faced by men) when it comes to child bearing.
It’s not just CNN that is all-Bieber all-the time. MSNBC was also this morning.
This made me laugh.

The problem with underage celebs is that they truly believe the world revolves around them; become famous at a time in life that this is true (teenage years) and the real problem kids (e.g., Lindsay Lohan) have terrible, jerkish parents, which doesn’t help the situation.

I didn’t know Miley had a twin brother.
OH DEAR …….
Gohmert: Gov’t Tries To ‘Lure’ Single Moms Into ‘Servitude’ With Welfare (VIDEO)
————————————–
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Thursday said that the federal government uses welfare to “lure” women into “servitude.”
“We need to encourage and incentivize young women, not declare war on them by leading them into ruts like the Democrats did. You want to see who cares? It’s the people that try to help them reach their potential, not lure them into servitude away from it,” Gohmert said on “Fox and Friends,” while arguing that welfare checks make women dependent on the government. “So, the problem is the government, not those single moms.”

http://thedailybanter.com/2014/01/whos-the-dumbest-man-in-congress-i-think-we-have-a-winner/
How, exactly, do GOP policies help women ‘reach their potential?’
Effing crickets.
Barefoot, pregnant and submissive
Give ne a break! After looking at his balance sheet, I’d say he could use a little welfare himself. What a jackass!
Reality setting in… 🙄
This is news to warm our hearts. The day will come, not sure when, when all states and territories will have expanded medicaid.
Great news. Sore losers and all that waiting this long to acknowledge the reality that Obamacare is here for good after the June 28, 2012 SCOTUS decision. 18 months later. Idiots.
Who is going to pay UT taxpayers the Money their gov wasted fighting against ACA? How about those this Gov denied them from getting Covered? Who pays for that?
Or
Is it better late than Never?
It is better late than never. It is also an election year – a few more states will sign up before November. It is a major issue that too many in red states don’t even know what they are missing out on – there should have been a massive publicity outreach from the feds – but the GOP reps would not provide the funds.
This will now be done using campaign money. The dems have a MASSIVE election plus here – it they can bring themselves to use it.
Who can imagine this family in the White House ?
They would eat the gingerbread house!!!!!!!!!
Well alrighty then. First on the agenda would be get rid of that “Let’s Move” program.
Luckily we’ll not have to endure this.
Are republicans obsessed with dressing the “boys and girls” in the same outfits. It’s cute with twins – plain stupid with folks that have age differences of 10-40 years.
Love it. Dems from all 50 states need to be doing what this senator just did.
Reading all the reaction to what Huckabee said, and I think the real point is being missed. He doesn’t say women can’t control their libido. He is saying Dems believe that they can’t control their libidos and that Uncle Sugar needs to provide them with birth control so they don’t have to deal with the consequences of not being able to control their libidos. The implication is that women don’t realize how Dems view them.
The same argument has been made about how Dems really don’t think much of minorities and that is why they have all these special programs because Dems don’t think minorities are capable enough to make it on their own. The implication is that minorities don’t realize how Dems view them. (See the comment about Ann Coulter upthread.)
The real problem with Huckabee’s statement, like Coulter’s, is that he is saying that women are too dumb to realize that Dems view them as sluts. So it isn’t the Rush Limbaugh’s of the world that think of women as sluts, but it is the Dems that view them that way. And those sluts are too dumb to realize that.
Coulter calls blacks dumb and Huckabee calls women dumb. As Charlie Pierce would say “I despair for the rebranding effort.”
Been in meetings all day and just reading a few posts and don’t understand….who/what is Uncle Sugar?
Looking for the link. Google Huckabee and Uncle Sugar and you’ll find Huckabee’s breathtaking insult to women.
Here you go.

AMK/Chipsticks and every one concerned about me being AWOL, here is my response to your R&S inquiry that you might have missed because I signed on very late.
“Hello AMK and Chipsticks! Sorry for being awol. I just came back from a three weeks trip to East Africa (mainly Uganda). Had no access to a computer. Got back on Monday, but caught a nasty bug (head and chest cold) that I am now barely recovering from. I truly missed reading TOD posts. I hope you and everyone at TOD had a wonderful beginning of the New Year. I will try to read some previous posts to catch up. I truly appreciate your looking out for me. Lots of love to TOD family.”
here’s nath 😉 welcome Back. Yes ❗
Thank you Nena. Really missed TOD and all of you lovely people.
Welcome back, Nath. Glad your travels went well and thankful that you’re recovering from the bug.
Happy to see you back on TOD!
Thanks, Nerdy Wonka, aka UT! What a difference four weeks make. I came back and you are posting under a new name (well not so new since it was your twitter name). I am so glad to be back at TOD. I missed all your brilliant work that kept me informed and up-to-date.
Nerdy Wonka/UT is such a wonderful example as to why I ROTFL when HuffPo says I cannot comment unless I use my real name. On the intertubes who would ever know who does/does not use their “real name”
{{{Nath}}} glad you’re okay and welcome back!!!
Thank you Donna. It’s so good to be back as I missed out on all the goodies at TOD for almost a month. I hope your precious twin grand babies and their parents are doing well. I don’t know if I ever told you that I too come from a family of twins. My mom was a twin. She also had twins (my sister and brother) that I came after, and my sister, her second daughter, has twins (boy and a girl).
Oh my goodness your family is a smorgasbord of twins. 🙂 I’m just glad you’re okay and I hope you had a wonderful trip but the next time you plan to go away let us know so we won’t worry about ya!!!!
“but the next time you plan to go away let us know so we won’t worry about ya!!!!”
I am so sorry for the oversight! It won’t happen again.

Happy New Year, nath!!!! And, so very glad you are ok!!!!!! (except, of course, for the flu)
Thank you so much Bob. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! Yes the flu sucks, but I am so glad to be back at TOD reading all the brilliant posts and commentaries. I had a wonderful time on my trip but I missed you guys so much.
Ahoy mate. You and Dudette had this old salt sleeping in the crows nest tryin’ to figure out where you were on the horizon. I can come down now. 🙂
Well mate, thank you so much for thinking about me. I really did not coordinate with Dudette to be AWOL! I am now finding out from the previous posts that she has been under the weather. I am so glad and thankful to hear that she is on the mends and feeling much better. I just can’t imagine this place without Dudette. She brings so much love, passion, and genuine enthusiasm for life with all her music selections she shares with us. In my case, I should have alerted you guys that I had this opportunity to go to the Mother Country that I couldn’t pass on. Unfortunately when I arrived back, three days ago, I had to deal with pure fatigue and a flu virus that’s still bugging me. Thankfully, I feel much better today than I did two days ago. I am so glad to be back.
There’s no place like home. Get some rest. I’ll go to the bsmt and see if I can dig up some tunes later.
Boehner is on Jay Leno tonight so I’m gonna check that out first. And Rachael Maddow is on Letterman too.
Lovely to see you nath – I so missed the “out of time” conversations. Get well soon and tell us about the trip.
Thanks 99ts. As soon as my head clears I will share the highlights of my trip.
Welcome back, nathkatum! I hope you feel better soon. How was your trip to East Africa?
Thanks steroid! I had a wonderful three weeks in East Africa. I wish I could have stayed longer.
Sjterrid, sorry about the stupid spell check insisting on calling you steroid! I did not realize that before I hit “post comment” button.
I’m so glad you had a good time.
The WA TBGOPer rep to deliver the rebuttal to the POTUS’ SOTU next Tuesday has 3 kids.
Shall I even ask how she was controlling her Libido? She just had her 3rd child in Nov or Dec. Huckabee what say you?
I knew the TBGOPers will be picking a woman. I bet they went to the gov of NM and she said: No. SC gov was out for she has low approval ratings. 3 female GOP senators…..ME, NE and AK. I bet they all said: Hell No.
