OOoooo, it worked! /whisper – brought my laptop to work for this 3-day assignment and since I haven’t been assigned yet, I thought I’d check if I could peek in. Don’t tell anyone!/
“I’m not sure why this isn’t a bigger deal. I hadn’t heard about it other than in this brief passage tucked away in a Politico article about the House GOP agriculture bill. But it takes a small program intended provide meals to children in the school lunch program during the summer months and says it can now only be used to benefit kids in “rural areas”.
In other words, “urban” kids are now out of luck.
Here’s the passage in question ..
And in a surprising twist, the bill language specifies that only rural areas are to benefit in the future from funding requested by the administration this year to continue a modest summer demonstration program to help children from low-income households — both urban and rural — during those months when school meals are not available.”
Meta, they are to busy truing to place blame on PBO for the VA problem. Like I said on the previous thread stories like this aren’t sexy enough, as PBO would say.
Pace yourself, meta. We have the rest of ’14 and all of ’15 to get through. I agree it’s unbearable, but we have to find a way to STAY SANE with all this rubbish going on.
Meta, has this bill actually passed, or just come out of committee. And doesn’t it have to go through the Senate. I’m sure the Agriculture Department is on it and the WH is on alert. Let’s see what happens. But you’re right, we’ve got to work like crazy to change this Reptilian (uh Republican) Congress.
For some reason I started reading about the Koch Family tonight. Think it was because there is a new book out tomorrow or whenever. I didn’t realize there were four brothers. I only knew of three. The oldest, Frederick is estranged from the other three. He even got left out of his fathers will. Still seems to have plenty of money, maybe because of his mother or because of a lawsuit against his brothers. Fredericks’ brothers say he’s gay, but he claims he’s not. Anyway he and brother Bill do not have anything to do with Koch Industries. Goodnight TOD. Zzzzzz
tnx dots i cal hur totly eval aftar mi bal flowtid awey an she did nutin 2 saiv it. nutin. wil tri sad i’s an meyb ms eval will bi me nu bal. reel sad tho.
Sorry. But reading that made me laugh.
On a serious note; sorry your favorite ball is gone. Hopefully the squeak toy fairy will find it and get it back to you soon.
Hint to “ms eval” : Maybe you can find an identical one, pretend you found the lost one and give it back to Danny like it was the original. No one’s the wiser.
I’ve been out all day & know little of the people in today’s primaries but it was interesting to see that Clinton support didn’t help in the winning stakes – the love of Hillary seems to be mainly media magic
Also very pleased that Karen Handel seems to be out of contention – a woman who used a position in a charity to stop other women receiving health care – she should NEVER have a position of political power.
99, the 13CD is right next door, and although my preferred candidate didn’t win (Daylin Leach), I am absolutely THRILLED that Marjorie LOST! She projects a misplaced sense of entitlement and had more baggage than Samsonite. Funny thing, Billery both did fundraisers, Bill did a robo call, NEVER heard of Mark & Chelsea doing anything. You’d think there’d been a one block door knock photo-op…

It doesn’t make sense. How did it get passed without screeching from Urban Reps?
But did PBO sign it?
I don’t know.
MEAN ASS MOFOS!!! Just plain hateful and mean.
Meta, they are to busy truing to place blame on PBO for the VA problem. Like I said on the previous thread stories like this aren’t sexy enough, as PBO would say.
COS, this is just so reprehensible I can’t even process it.
It is definitely hard to process. We have to vote in huge numbers in the midterm elections.
Pace yourself, meta. We have the rest of ’14 and all of ’15 to get through. I agree it’s unbearable, but we have to find a way to STAY SANE with all this rubbish going on.
Yes we do Jacqueline.
I forgot ’16, of course. See! It’s already having an effect! (Actually, I’m exhausted. Think I’d better pack it in, soon!)
Thanks, JO’B, dear friend. I just hate to see children being used as pawns in this ugly game.
To remember: Lots of paint.
Just now arriving on the blog for the day, and will use your reminder of “lots and lots of paint,” as well! Happy Wednesday!
Howdy latecomer! Come up, hurry up and join us down the road!
Got distracted again, and now I’m back for another look – finally! Gotta get my TOD fix!

What is your new toy Danny?
itz a stoopid rownd ting that traps mi hed caril
Not a good toy Danny, I hope Someone helps you out of it soon. 😉
danny, chew away her cellphone. she takes horrible photos.
Think she was taking pics of moving object.
i.e. bt has no control over her camera or danny.
Or blog. . .
oh the blog, she lost it long time back.
😉
Comes in.
Sees Danny’s head stuck in a sandworm from “Dune”:
Goes back to bed. Gotta lay off sniffing glue.
‘Night, TODpeople. Goodnight, Danny boy!
We can’t leave until that toy is off Danny’s nose.
Wonderful
Ok Danny, let’s get you out of that toy. . .
For some reason I started reading about the Koch Family tonight. Think it was because there is a new book out tomorrow or whenever. I didn’t realize there were four brothers. I only knew of three.

Disappointed in today’s election turnout and results; however, will still work to ensure One-Term Tom is sent packing in November…
Sorry. But reading that made me laugh.

“Margolies lost despite receiving significant support from the Clinton family. Both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to a fundraiser for Margolies a week earlier and former President Bill Clinton went to two fundraisers for Margolies in April. ”

Anyone robo calls me – doesn’t matter which party – I don’t vote for them – and I call them and tell them why. I find such calls truly offensive.
Moooooorning!
