Really?
Yes really. Congrats 57andfemale
Holy smokes, Kasper would be proud!!!!
He’s too busy exercising his ‘dominance’ over his new toys. Do I need to get graphic?
No!!!! 🙂
Hi there! 🙂
Reposting a must see .
This is what journalism looks like. Jon Snow interviewing Mark Regev on Gaza.
I watched this broadcast open-mouthed.
Please, everyone who thinks we don’t know what israel is telling itself, just watch this.
Incredible. The interviewer actually challenged the talking points and brought up actual circumstances and facts! Then asks why they won’t talk. Excellent question.
And they both speak English.
So the people who fired and killed those 4 boys didn’t know they were children, just like Putin’s mob didn’t know MH17 was a civilian plane. If they stopped shooting – this would not happen.
Left out one Grade A Choice Beef tweet:
Thanks a GAZILLION for the tweets, Nerdy!!
Thanks, Chips.
This is the most amazing headline I’ve ever seen:
because to them, they are not human. Sickening.
US needs to stop funding Israel and their wars.
Most recent number of Israeli military deaths is 25. In 2008 the 4 week war cost Israel 6 soldiers. Now 25 Israeli soldiers perished in 4 days. Big escalation of price Israel is paying.
Israel will not be able to be so smug that only Palestinian citizens are being killed for much longer.
I sure would like to see a cease-fire on terms that Palestinians can trust, not like in 2012 where israel pledged to ease Gaza siege and then reneged.
Oh, great. And thanks, nbc:
From the NothingButCrap network! Great job!
So, uh, President Obama’s fault?
Bingo! And because NBC reported what the Ukrainian-separatist version of Baghdad Bob said, Issa will start an ‘investigation’, and Boehner will add it to his lawsuit.
God, NBC.
Can’t say it enough:
I ❤ My President!
And he ❤ s you back, Duuuuuuuuudette!
I’m all tingly after reading that! Thank you Chips! 🙂
Happiness is: being able to take off your shoes in your office and wiggle your toes.
O………..kay. 😯
…and then only to realize that your feet are so swollen you can’t get your shoes back on lol
LOL!
WordPress is cracking me up: Dudette says “LOL” and they put it in flippin’ spam!!!!!!!!!! 🙄
🙂 I now have visions of LL walking home barefoot.
I say Amen!
Are you trying to tell us that you now have your own corner office, Lib_L? Well congrats to you! 😀
No, but my cube mate is off Mondays.
Aha, I see. 🙂 🙂 Congrats then on letting your
hair downtoes out on Mondays!I actually have more time on my hands now to pray for your soul.
What? You don’t think prayer will help?
No, no – I do. It’s just you’re making me weep.
Darn! Being blocked from twitter means I cannot get you a
handkerchieftowel. SorrySpeaker of the House John Boehner’s decision to sue President Obama is raising an epic amount of grassroots dollars for Democrats. In June, House Democrats out-raised House Republicans $4.5 million to $883,000 in grassroots donations.

Wooooot! Thank ya Johnny B. Keep up the good work! I’m telling you, he’s like a sleeper agent for the Democratic Party!
Yep. Proceed, Pseudo-Speaker.
A drunken sleeper agent 😀
Hel-l-o, Dudette!
Yep! Now we know why he drinks so much. So he can be numb when he has to pal around with the “real” Teapublicans.
True 😀
Also, another piece of the reason he drinks – he ain’t man enough to face up to his (paid) responsibilities!
That too
Putin’s thugs still obstructing ….
And, this is just one answer to the question President Obama asked ….
Bob, could you explain why the statement pls, not being a shrapnel expert…..
this
It is evidence that an explosive device causing multiple penetrations of the fuselage was involved in downing the plane, Layla.
TY Bob, still does that prove it was Putin and his murderers. Does it have to do with the nature/number of the penetrations therefor linking this to the Russians..so sorry to bother you with this. I just think that statement is very definitive.
The weapon system that we know is in E Ukraine and supplied by Russia is capable of doing that type of damage. No ambiguity about it and that weapon system would not be in E Ukraine without Putin’s authorization.
When I refer to weapon system, I’m not merely referring to the missile but to the entire command and control infrastructure required for a missile to hit its target. Extensive radar, communications, real time data analysis, and trained personnel are required. The only source of all those skills, equipment and communications infrastructure, in this instance, is Russia. This is not speculation or ‘conspiracy theory,’ btw.
Hope that helps.
Good grief Bob you are like an encyclopedia!!!! And yes it helps a lot. Again, sorry to bother you
Update … finally ….
Still lurking as often as I can, bye, going to catch up on the unbiased news and views of The Daily TOD News
Great to see you Anjo, hope all’s good!
Sweet! I loved PBO’s humorous remarks about their wedding anniversary falling on this day and how honoree said it would be hard to top being awarded the Medal of Honor on this day. And PBO said as someone with the experience of being married for 20 years, he advised honoree to try.
http://www.c-span.org/video/?320555-1/medal-honor-ceremony
Thanks Bob! Everytime he does one of these ceremonies, I can’t help but hear the theme for The West Wing playing in my head as the video ends. [sigh!]
I went to YouTibe to grab the official one from the opening credits and ran across this version that someone created. Needs an update with the current team but still gives me goosebumps…
How how I love that. It must be updated!!!!
I know, right? Still cool though. 🙂
Yes wonderful Dudette! Thank you for this moving creation. First time I saw it. You bless the world, as does all of TOD family.
Aw thank you so much for your kind words, nrt. First time I’d seen this one too.
I’ve always loved that music. Still think that was the best series on TV ever. I still recognize things I learned from it when observing PBO’s administration. Amazing!
Oh, Dudette, thanks for the reminder! I remember watching this video throughout 2009ish and sobbing with joy! Yes, it really needs an update… anyone?? 🙂
Sure hope there’s some video editing wiz out there who’ll do a new one. That would be tres’ cool!
Thank you Dudette. I’ve never seen it …
🙂
Here’s the real one from the show. Dude, you MUST gift yourself the box set.
Ha! A wise man, our President! 🙂
Well, Mr. MuscatineGal survived his first experience of canvassing door-to-door for the Bruce Braley For Senate campaign yesterday. He reports it was tough to get started, but once he did a few houses it got easier. He got a several folks who wanted to chat, a few who took the pamphlets and shut the door, and a few who hid out in their houses. There were only a couple who said “We’re Republicans” and slammed the door. Job well done, Mr. MuscatineGal – and all of you TODers who do this regularly, it’s a tough assignment! This week Mr. MuscatineGal is staffing the Democrats booth for a couple of morning shifts at the Johnson County fair. Hmmm, they just happen to have yummy food there as well……
🙂 Wonderful! Please tell him thank you for his job well done! Nothing ever worth much is easy!!
muscatinegal – tell your husband that we are super proud and very happy that he took the first step! The hard part is over!!!
Thank him for all of us. It is going to take all of us doing this. It is so important and appreciated by all of us.
Crucial work your husband is doing in service to the entire nation. We need an informed, engaged, and committed electorate. He’s doing us all proud! Well Done!
Please thank him for all of us. He is doing the vital work needed to keep the Senate in Dem hands this fall.
Huge enormous thanks and appreciation to mr. muscatinegal!
Way to go, mr. muscatinegal!
I’ll bet that mr. muscatinegal would offer the same advice that PBO did today to the most recent MOH recipient, LOL.

If you don’t have time to watch all of it scroll to Ambassador Power’s comments (I was only able to hear a bit of it but she was fierce).
Ambassador Power starts at ~ 27:00.
Never seen a swarmier group than this…
Those youngins ain’t got nothing on pop! 🙂
Love it!
Phew! That sure got me wigglin’! 😀
this is so cute. I am a sucker for our elderly.
Oh my god, one of my original story time kids, who’s now in preschool, just came in. She lost her first tooth! *sigh* They grow up so fast.
NBC news with Richard Engle reporting just brutal from medical facility in Gaza——–overwhelmed with death and gruesome injuries. This is just barbaric—–all these children lined up in the facility, paralyzed, unable to speak, missing limbs etc. etc. etc. Talk about man’s inhumanity to man. Gut wrenching.
I can barely watch the news these days Dotster, what’s happening in Gaza is just too much, and no one is doing a friggin’ thing to help them.
and then having to listen to netanyahoo after that, dotster, i felt in the presence of evil. my god, the world will never be rid of these men, i fear.
I’m just sayin’
Totally wishful thinking…..in this way.
GOP women are as troubling as their men. Dem women are not in larger numbers, yet. The sad part is with almost 52% of the population and 54% of the electorate…….women vote against their interest in the GOP party and in midterms…..consistency is needed to get women to help stop the GOP invasion of our form of Democratic Republic.
Gotta have the vision before get there. 🙂
I know. Half a loaf of bread is far better than none. Just frustrating that in US, we speak a great game…..but that CHANGE just don’t come any easier.
I believe. FORWARD!
In the campaign season prior to the 2008 general election I ran into a woman that was enthusiastically supporting Sarah Palin. When I asked why? She replied that their pastor’s wife said she was a good Christian and the woman herself thought that SP would not get us into a war being a mother. Sarah Palin was the extreme opposite of what this woman thought.
Activism cannot be just about staking out your positions and refusing to compromise. Politics and public policy aren’t about making you feel good about how “pure” you are. Because activism, you see, is not about you. It’s about us.
Incredible story from Joe Biden. Good for you, Joe!
