Julie Miller: George Clooney Interrupts Engagement To Eviscerate Las Vegas Hotel Mogul
Wynn decided to make an appearance on Bloomberg to dredge up the old argument and further diss the groom-to-be. “George didn’t call me an asshole,” Wynn said. “He was a little into the tequila, but he is fun to be with. He’s a good storyteller. . . .George Clooney is fun to be with. . You just have to watch your timing.” Presumably having had enough with Wynn’s condescension and self-serving cable interviews, Clooney has issued a new statement in which he eviscerates the hotel tycoon’s argument piece by piece.
Steve Wynn and I have met three times, two times for dinner. That is the extent of our knowledge of one another, so I will refrain from trying to categorize him based on the little time we’ve spent together, but I will not let his version of the truth go unchallenged. He now says he didn’t call the president an ‘a——.’ That is false. He bellowed ‘I voted for the a——,’ and then called him the same thing several more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end. Again there were eight people at the table, eight witnesses. I did in turn, call him the same body part, and walked out. Again he can make up whatever story he wants, but these are the facts. He said I drank 16 shots of tequila. I didn’t drink one shot of tequila, not one. We were drinking but it was early and we still had two events to attend.
He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I’m ‘molly coddled,’ that I’m surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but ‘yes’ to him. Emphatically. I did not attend a private boys’ school, I worked in tobacco fields and in stock rooms, and construction sites. I’ve been broke more of my life than I have been successful, and I understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it is to make ends meet. Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with … or at least start with the fact that you can’t make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses.

What happens in Vegas . . . doesn’t stay in Vegas when you are George Clooney and get in an argument with a hotel tycoon over President Obama. “There were 9 people at that table. . .So you can ask them. . .Steve likes to go on rants. . .HE called the president an asshole. . . that is a fact. . .I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said ‘your friend is an asshole.’ . . .At that point I told Steve that HE was an asshole and I wasn’t going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass. And I walked out. There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us. Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character.”

The Obama Diary 
1st!
Don!!!!!!!!
Congrats Don!
Best birthday wishes to our CarolMae!! All the blessings of this age may be yours in the coming year.
Thank you so much. To live in the age of Pres. Obama is a gift. TOD family coverage is another.
Mae the Forth be with you! 😎 Is that old?
Carolmae, hope you’re enjoying your birthday!
Thank you GGail, I’m enjoying it very much. 😻
Happy Birthday, CarolMaeWY! Hope you have a rollicking good time.
Thank you Nerdy. Yes I am. Though I prefer my glider over a rocking chair! 😉
Happy Birthday Carol. Get out ur dancing shoes and stir up a storm
Thank you Zizi! We really are good dance partners. Our fav was Johnny be Good!
Carol Mae–Have a terrific birthday! And many, many more to come.
Thanks so much. Hope yours was great too.
Wow! I was answering from the App and didn’t see the goodies! Thanks again! ☺️
Not as fancy as Nerdy, with all the cool graphic; but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROLMAE! May you be Blessed with love, peace, and joy!
Happy Birthday CarolMae!!!! Hope it is as beautiful there as it is here. We are having some rain which is perfect for the flowers. Hope you eye is continuing to heal.
Thank you Marilyn for the birthday wishes. Only thing I “need” is Angel food cake with strawberries and cream. 🍓 😊 My Mom would always make it for me. The joy of growing up on a small family farm with chickens and fresh eggs and cream.
The weather is just cloudy, but not too windy or cold. We had enough sun to cheer me up. I’m still waiting to plant VCs strawberry or pineberry plants. 😎
Happy Birthday CarolMae!!!!
Thank you very much Bob! Foreign Correspondent for TOD! 😊
🙂
Happy Birthday CarolMae…..your birthday cake sounds absolutely perfecto!!! Hope your eyes continue to get better. I have two friends who had similar problems and surgery. It was a tedious road, but they came through and I know you will…..with flying colors.
Thank you Carolyn for the encouraging words and the birthday wishes. I see the eye surgeon on May 9 so I’ll know more then. I’m estimating I have 80% of my sight and that is a miracle for the way it was.
Happy birthday, girlfriend! I join you in birthday celebrations on Wednesday, although at my age the festivities are quite tame.
Have a wonderful day. Be well.
🙂 Mine are tame too. There seems to be a lot of birthdays this time of year at TOD! I stayed up a little late last night enjoying the after party on twitter. Spending an evening with POTUS and TOD friends is my idea of fun.
May is the busiest month for TOD birthdays I believe.
🙂 What happened in August? Steaming summer nights?
My mother, who gave birth to her firstborn, my brother, in 1935 through 27 hours of labor with no a/c – was not about to revisit that nightmare.
😉 My second was born in August, also a hot day. He was as easy as my first. I’m lucky.
George Clooney’s response was AWESOME & PITCH PERFECT!
Loved it when he called out Steve Wynn accusing him of living in a bubble. I will never stay at a Wynn hotel ever! What a bitter, narcissistic, petty loser!
Way to go, Don!!!!
Thank you, NW, for yet another cool post!!!
Everyone …. please don’t miss this ‘flag hanging’ event that is just now unfolded in Odessa …
… you can see a series of photos thanks to @howardamos, just go to his Twitter TL.
bbl ….
I went back and read Joel McHale’s lines from his comedy bit, and some of it reads funnier than how he actually delivered them. I get that he was trying to expose GOP hypocrisy, but I cringed at times, that the absurdity and humor of how ridiculous the GOP are was lost in the way he came off sounding like a jerk…. President Obama made jabs, but he did it in a very lighthearted way, and it actually emphasized how silly and stupid the the GOP have been.
I think there was plenty to go after Christy about politically, I did not like the jokes about the weight. That’s just cheap.
I heard that the reason why the President usually goes first is that they didn’t want to have the President go after a “professional” comedian and flop. I can see that makes sense for most Presidents. But I feel bad for the comedians, every single year President Obama has hit it out of the park with his humour. I think of all the comedians, I liked Wanda Sykes best, then Seth Myers.
“I heard that the reason why the President usually goes first is that they didn’t want to have the President go after a “professional” comedian and flop.”
I agree with you pinkbunny that that was a reasonable concern which may have been justified in the past, however with President Obama, that concern and its justification have been. PBO should ALWAYS be the last event – and that’s true not only for the WHCD. We saw an example of this during the Mandela Memorial event — the program just fell flat once PBO had completed his speech and people started leaving. Of course, there is also the problem of people getting antsy and agitated BEFORE the President speaks because they’re anxious to have him come on… 🙂 🙂
Checking in after a 24 hour total immersion with a 20 month old. Nothing else can claim you attention while you focus on the little one, not to mention accompanying parents and family. Son is with us for the remainder of the week, but there is beginning to be some light in the schedule for other things. Finally saw, read, and LOVED the president’s WHPC dinner speech–better late than never–and catching up with Ukraine and other news. I so love all of you for stacking up all the information and having all the speeches and videos so easy to access. Makes it so easy to come back home here and catch up. Where else could this happen?
Understand that “total immersion” line. We wouldn’t have it any other way, but … WHEW!
Thanks for uploading the post, Chiparoo.
Just when I think I can’t loooooooove George Clooney any more, he proves me wrong. What he displayed in his interaction with Steve Wynn is called character.
This statement summed it up: “He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I’m ‘molly coddled,’ that I’m surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but ‘yes’ to him. Emphatically. I did not attend a private boys’ school, I worked in tobacco fields and in stock rooms, and construction sites. I’ve been broke more of my life than I have been successful, and I understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it is to make ends meet. Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with … or at least start with the fact that you can’t make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses.”
George Clooney like President Barack Obama gets it. He understands the real world and I suspect that’s why he and President Obama clicked. He knows what it’s like to be on the crappy end of life and when life gives you that lucky break, don’t be a douchebag but reach back and help others. It’s great to see celebrities who use their platform for good and don’t let fame allow them to think they’re the best thing since sliced bread because it only takes a few bad movies or no sold out albums to become yesterday’s news; and George Clooney gets that.
Thanks for posting this Nerdy. I believe George’s dad is also active in human rights issues.
Excellent post, broad and deep and worthy, Chipstix. Insightful and astute commentary, NerdyWonka. Amen to @Jackiegrumbacher about knowing that TOD will have what matters, what counts, easy to find and take in, whenever we are ready to receive it. Missed so much lately, but I know exactly where it is. Like my library books, on their shelf, available 24/7. Priceless gifts.
Beautifully said, as well, nancie!
Perfect response/post Nerdy in EVERY way. It’s CHARACTER nothing more, nothing less. And I love WMPM (Worlds Most Perfect Man) George for being so true to his moral code and more importantly, to his friend.
Will anybody really care? Just askin’…
I’m glad she’s getting punished. Naughty me. . .
I admire and adore George Clooney. He is intelligent, compassionate and extremely involved with the world outside of self-absorbed celebrity. Although he can joke and be silly and light-hearted, in every interview what invariably comes across is that he is a good man with a very good heart and soul. Someone with the courage of his convictions.
BRAVO to him for standing up for his own honor and that of the President. I love his retort and am grateful he took the time to correct that arrogant misrepresentation. BRAVO.
Agree, totally, meta. I think he also said he’s not on Twitter because he’d be prone to posting late-night truths, perhaps after partying (or something like that), which might turn out to be career-enders. Ha!
He’s a remarkable person from a great family.
He’s done so much for causes he believes in, including raising money for POTUS. He doesn’t just sit around and count his money or gloat about his wealth like these other disgusting bozos.
PLUS, he’s incredibly handsome. But we already knew that!
Sigh. Yep!
😀 As FLOTUS noted.
Regarding the latest Benghazi rehash by the GOP in congress, we should start connecting their actions to the way they exploited the Terri Shriavo case back in 2005. They considered the Terri Schiavo case a “Great Political Issue” that could pay dividends for the up coming midterms in 2006.
This article in the Washington Post details how they were using her case in hopes of Getting out the vote.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49701-2005Mar19.html
Both men are winners in their own way! They have not allowed adulation to inflate their ego. For every kind word out in public there are two others who put you down. I admire that they live with that day after day.
Was posting this for a reason but forgot when I saw some other tweets. The Joy of getting older! 😊 Oh, I would love to go to Red Rocks again! 😎
Happy birthday, CarolMae!
Thank you sjterrid! Had a great day. Can’t keep up with TOD, but I had a nice day.
I know what you mean. I wasn’t on-line yesterday, because my husband and I had a barbecue at my house. I had to read all the posts yesterday about the WHPC first and finally about to catch up on today’s posts.
I wanted to wish you a happy birthday while it was still Sunday.
You made it! Sounds like yesterday was fun! Thanks again.
Thanks. We had a great day weather wise. It was sunny and near 70. We had about 25 people show up. Our first guest arrived around 12:30. By around 7:30 everybody but my cousin, she lives about 10 minutes from us, had left. She helped me clean up, and she and her husband stayed for coffee. They left around 9:00.
Oh, long day but fun I hope. Was it a special occasion?
Yes, it was fun. My husband a few years ago decided he wanted to through a party in the springtime, 1st Saturday of May. We invite friends, family, some of husband’s, co-workers past and present. We didn’t have one last year, because it rained.
Most of them live in New York, so we don’t get to see them to much. The guys go to a nearby field and play softball.
That’s a great idea. Glad the weather cooperated.
I note in the ephemeris, George Clooney has a birthday coming up on May 6th. And guess what year?? 1961! So he and PBO have an affinity in many ways!! 😉
I agree with all who are saying both Clooney and PBO are men of great character. I love how PBO says Clooney is a low maintenance friend. He understands the public strain. Thanks for posting this.
Excellent post on G. Clooney.
Thanks.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/05/04/sunday-news-shows-false-equivalence-is-drowning/199163
Hosts of the network Sunday news shows treated Benghazi myths and facts with false equivalence, an approach that hides the truth about the tragedy.
The right-wing’s manufactured hysteria over the release of new White House memos and the House GOP’s announcement that it would form a special select committee brought the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya back into the spotlight on the May 4 Sunday news talk shows. The latest charge from conservative media is that a newly-released email from Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes preparing then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice for the September 16, 2012 Sunday talk shows — where she suggested that the terror attacks had grown out of spontaneous protests — was part of a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the attacks.
In a seeming effort to provide false balance between the facts and the myths, the network news hosts lent credence to evidence-free claims by their guests, giving them equal weight with the truth.
I heard they were doctored by someone on the right. Hasn’t been repeated though.
I listened to the US State department briefings today from 5/1/14 and 5/2/14. I loved the push back from the deputy spokesperson Marie Harf. I saw at the WHC dinner last night too. Enough with this politicizing of such a awful event.
Hello to one an all. Happy Birthday to carolmae. I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better. Thanks for another awesome post Nerdy Wonka. What would we do without you and the amazing Chips. TOD does bring in the smartest folks. Thank you to all “official BTs’ and all the unofficial folks in the know and all the information you share everyday.
Thank you elo. Thanks for sharing the links.

Haven’t gotten through all the threads posted here in the last 24 hours, but did see GoBrooklyn ask about @NYCjim’s tweet:
I agree with VC, that this might be a failed attempt at snark. Who could think “tight smile” when they see this photo?
I consider @NYCjim the non-RWNJ version of the Drudge Report.
He tweets lots of Ripley’s Believe It or Not stuff, along with foreign coverage and tech updates (which pays his salary at Mashable).
The Mashable link is worth checking out.
“Traditionally, although not always, the president and first lady attend the dinner, which raises money for journalism-scholarship recipients. The number of Hollywood celebrities and athletes in attendance has varied through the years, but has hit a high note recently during the Obama administration.”
And this twitter GIF:
What was for dessert?
Individual deserts to make it easier for the wait staff to serve, but forgot what they said it was. (Old age)
Kind of liberating to be able to blame “old age” for everything, even though we all know we’re JUST GETTING STARTED!
😉 It’s fun for the day anyway.
Yep!
lol…okkk
I thought he was being snarky too Arapaho. I’ve checked out a few of his tweets and the seem to try to be snarky anyway.
“The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Administration, Ihor Kolomoyskyy, is calling for the creation of a council of governors of Southeastern Ukraine, according to his statement posted on the website of the Oblast State Administration, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda, May 4.
“As a result of a chain of political events, including those inspired from outside the country, Ukraine is in grave danger of losing its territorial integrity,” Kolomoysky says. Since the scenarios for this threat will be played out first of all in the southeast oblasts, Kolomoysky argues for the absolute necessity of creating a coordinating body to ensure organized and effective work by the governors in these areas.
“I propose that very soon we create a Board of the Governors of Southeastern Ukraine and include the heads of the oblast administrations of the Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Mykolayiv and Odesa oblasts,” he says.
According to Kolomoysky, the main task of the Board of Governors would be to create the necessary conditions for holding transparent and honest presidential elections in Ukraine on May 25, 2014, under the supervision of international observers.”

Must share one more. . .
Happy Birthday & all best wishes to CarolMae… I hope you’ve had a wonderful day and that you are healing nicely.
Thank you Sherijr. It’s going by fast! I slept in a little. I think I am healing. 😎 😉 Getting restless anyway.
restless is a good sign , I think, just don’t hurry things to much.. and yep its always like that isn’t it- birthdays, holidays take forever to get here but then slip by so quickly once they arrive 🙂
😉 Your right about time flying by.
Putin’s emulating Stalin is not going to work out well for him …

HAPPY SUNDAY VCPREZOFAN2!
Read your post: Teenagers can cause us to age quickly without warning (been there). Hope this gives you a smile-2 can play the game : )
Parents of teenagers; they know when they don’t know “EVERYTHING”-
MOM! DAD!
I NEED HELP!
My child came
home from school one day,
With a smirk upon the face.
child
decided child was smart enough,
To put me in my place.
‘Guess
what I learned in Civics Two,
that’s taught by Mr. Wright?
It’s
all about the laws today,
The ‘TEENAGER’S Bill of Rights.’
It
says I need not clean my room,
Don’t have to cut my hair
No one
can tell me what to think,
Or speak, or what to wear.
I have
freedom from religion,
And regardless what you say,
I don’t have
to bow my head,
And I sure don’t have to pray.
I can wear
earrings if I want,
And pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read
& watch just what I like,
Get tattoos from head to toe.
And
if you ever spank me,
I’ll charge you with a crime.
I’ll back up
all my charges,
With the marks on my behind.
Don’t you ever
touch me,
My body’s only for my use,
Not for your hugs and
kisses,
that’s just more child abuse.
Don’t preach about
your morals,
Like your Mama did to you.
That’s nothing more than
mind control,
And it’s illegal too!
Mom, I have these
‘TEENAGER’S’ rights,
So you can’t influence me,
Or I’ll call
Children’s Services Division,
Better known as C.S.D.’
*******************************************
Mom’s
Reply and Thoughts
Of course my first
instinct was
To toss ‘TEENAGER” out the door.
But the chance to teach
‘TEENAGER” a lesson
Made me think a little more.
I mulled it over
carefully,
I couldn’t let this go.
A smile crept upon my face,
‘TEENAGER’
messing with a pro.
Next day I took ‘TEENAGER” shopping
At the
local Goodwill Store.
I told ‘TEENAGER”, ‘Pick out all you want,
TEENAGER”’s
shirts & pants galore.
I’ve called and checked with C.S.D
….
Who said they didn’t care
If I bought you K-Mart shoes
Instead
of those Nike Airs.
I’ve canceled that appointment
To take
your driver’s test.
The C.S.D. Is unconcerned
So I’ll decide
what’s best. ‘
I said ‘No time to stop and eat,
Or pick up
stuff to munch.
And tomorrow you can start to learn
To make your
own sack lunch.
Just save the raging appetite,
And wait till
dinner time.
We’re having liver and onions,
A favorite dish of
mine.’
‘TEENAGER’ asked ‘Can I please rent a movie,
To watch on my
VCR?’
‘Sorry, but I sold your TV,
For new tires on my car.
I also rented out your room,
You’ll take the couch instead.
The
C.S.D. Requires
Just a roof over your head.
Your clothing
won’t be trendy now,
I’ll choose what we eat.
That allowance
that you used to get,
Will buy me something neat.
I’m selling off your jet ski,
Dirt-bike & roller blades.
Check
out the ‘Parents Bill of Rights’,
It’s in effect today!
Hey
hot shot, are you crying,
Why are you on your knees?
Are you
asking God to help you out,
Instead of C.S.D…?’

Good one. . .
😀 TY, Cindy.
Truth is, I started feeling better the moment I voiced my anger this morning. Teenager and I both ignored each other while *I* spent most of the day here in the village, and you know anger doesn’t last here. 🙂
Good to hear…….
This to shall pass : )
{I have felt more than once that Bibi Netanyahu is an idiot; intelligent maybe, but an idiot nonetheless. Unprincipled and selfish too, not leader material.}
The failure of the latest round of Israel-Palestine talks is going to result in a rude awakening for Israel. The administration isn’t hiding that they almost exclusively blame Israel for the failure. Specifically, they blame the settlers and their most ardent supporters, and the fact that Netanyahu’s government cannot survive if he makes certain required concessions. Here’s an anonymous senior government official closely involved in the talks:
…………………………..
Reading between the lines, the Americans are basically telling the Israelis that they just screwed themselves. And I think that’s sadly, true. They could have had an agreement reached by mutual settlement, along with the good will of most of the world. They will not get that now. Instead, they will get boycotted and the international community will rally around the Palestinians.
And the American left is about fed up, even at the highest levels of our government.
http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2014/5/4/144457/1538
VC, he is both an idiot and gutless. If he truly cared about a Democratic Israeli State he had real partners, in the US, the EU & the Palestinians, to make that happen. He FAILED and will own it and all the consequences.
Secretary Kerry’s assessment is correct. Israel will either be a non-Jewish democratic state or it will be an apartheid state. In either case, it will be loathed by much of the population of the planet for decades, if not longer.
Also, Bobfr, if he cared one iota for the future of the Israeli youth. Though I haven’t met him, I’ve disliked Bibi from the moment he abused PBO’s hospitality while visiting, and nothing he has since done has changed my feeling. It’ll be a pity that everyday Israeli citizens will suffer for his shortsighted cowardice.
Bibi = another McCain/Romney; wants power and doesn’t know how to wield it wisely, only aggressively.
Yes, and at great price to current and future generations of Israelis – and many others.

One part of Joel McHales speech I haven’t heard mention is his take down of Sen Graham. 😎
Just saw a tweet that Chris Jansing is now the Chief WhiteHouse correspondent for NBC. No word on who will fill her anchor chair.
Happy birthday “cowgirl”. 🙂
Thanks Sailor! 😎
You betcha! Hope it’s a good one.
It has been so far. Now time for control of the remote!
😆 😆
Happy Happyyyyyyyyyy Birthdayyyyyyyyyyy…
Oh thank you. I want the flower too. ☺️
They’re so cute. ☺️
Oh, I forgot- you’re right, CarolMae, the Graham bit was his best. 🙂
Also, as my 4 yr old nephew likes to say- Happy Day Day!
Thank you, your nephew sounds cute. ☺️
Nerdy, I love that you guys posted this. I’ve been feeling lots of love for George. I can’t think of anyone, outside of the administration, who has so completely had PBO’s back. I was pretty mixed on McHale last night until the Clooney joke, then he lost me. But what made me sickest were the shout outs and cheers from the audience at hearing Clooney brought down. I’ve so had enough of the ‘lesser’ men.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLMAEWY!!!
I hope that you have enjoyed your day; lots of love, hugs, presents, laughter, good food and a fine glass of wine.
No heavy activity with hubby for celebration; no swinging from the chandelier, 6 inch red stilettos, bubbly champagne and rose petals thrown across the floor and bed. Let me see……other than this, you and Mr. CarolMaeWY have a WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS CELEBRATION : )
{{{{{{{{{{CAROLMAEWY….IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY and you can do what you want to do-ENDJOY!}}}}}}}}}}
Warmest Birthday wishes,
Cindy
Thank you Cindy. The chandelier will miss us! ! ! 😎
Alright now……….Hope your recovery is allowing for a good day for your celebration.
Yes, quiet, but nice.
A belated happy birthday Carol, I’m, completely out of the loop today – hope you’re having a blissful time!
Thank you Chips, your not belated. It’s only 6:20pm here. The sun is out, the grass is green. . .
Lots of fun ahead! 😉
I’m glad you’re enjoying your day. Did you take Danny swimming?
Hiya Carol, Danny was indeed swimming again today, he can’t get enough of it. And, of course, he feels the need to leap up on me when he comes out of the water, so excited is he, so I walk home like a drowned rat. Once more Googling ‘how to stop your dog jumping up on you’. 😕
Happy birthday again Carol!
Let me know if you find out how to manage the jump. 😉 Does he shake off on you too?
Thanks again for BDay wishes. Time for cake!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU, CarolMae!! Hope it’s a spectacular one full of new treasures!!
Thanks Meta. It has been very nice.
When all else fails, commission another another meaningless poll to make them feel good about their worthless selves…

Thank you for the update regarding this situation.
Hope your day was wonderful too, Cindy.
Was the letter published? I didn’t see it. Thanks for the update.

Happy Sunday desertflower!
Has he said; now let me tell something about the Negro?
President Obama got it right last night : )
correction; “now let me tell you something about the Negro.”
DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT…ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK!
🙂 Mr. “We don’t need a civil rights law?” God I detest this charlatan.
This cannot be stressed enough ….
Happy Sunday Mr. Bobfr!
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for the updates. This is just unbelievable but President Obama would do the same for his haters. I am praying for this situation to be resolved it is so senseless. Putin will have to answer to a Higher Power one day for his misgiven towards the human race. May that day come sooner rather than later.
By the way Mr. Bobfr, I am so convinced that you are traveling the country to stay on top of the news for us. Are you “secretly” working with President Obama’s team? : ) You are AWESOME!!! THANK YOU A MILLION and ONE!
“This is just unbelievable but President Obama would do the same for his haters.”
Of this, I have ZERO doubt, Cindy.
Thank you for your kind words. No, I’m just an ordinary citizen trying to contribute whatever I can to sustaining the promise of America and humanity. Only wish I could do more.
Nothing ordinary about you Dr. Bob! 🙂
I’ve had a day:) Been remiss in saying Happy Birthday to CarolMae..Happy Birthday!! Special thanks to Nerdy for this post:) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE George Clooney. My friends know, my kids know (they used to think that I’d kick their dad to the curb in a hot second for George:)…and yes, even my husband knows:) This Wynn thing and issues like this, are WHY I love him so much…yes, it goes to character. One of those men has it, one doesn’t. I got to say, though I’m so glad that he found his lady love and his intellectual equal, it’s bittersweet for me….a girl can fantasize about these sorts of things, can’t she? Would love to sit around talking about politics and world affairs over cocktails…. just sayin’…. He’ll always be a good guy in my book. This is what a true friend looks like.
“… it goes to character. One of those men has it, one doesn’t.”
Yes, df, it is just that elemental!!
True that. Character is what you do when no one is looking….
… except yourself.
Yep.
Thank you df, another definition for them is conscientious: honest, scrupulous, moral integrity.
Happy Birthday CarolMae, just read all your wishes. Adding mine to the mix. 🙂
Thank you Roberta. Is it finally springtime in MN?
Happy Birthday CarolMae!! Rest your eyes and feel the love.
Thank you Paulita. Hope you are still feeling our love at TOD for you too. ☺️
I sure am; a girl could get used to this! 😀
Yes, yes she could! 😻
So much tragedy could have been avoided ….
… if Kennedy and Johnson had listened to one of the only Americans who had a clue where Vietnam was as well as being someone Ho trusted.
And the French were right about Iraq…..learning from Viet Nam and Algeria.

Smart man re the twitter.
And that is sure in the wrong place – or an elderly moment – sigh
