    Good afternoon/evening, TOD!

    Thanks Chips for putting all the clips of the President when he was on Jimmy Kimmels show Thursday night in one post. I finally got a chance to watch it.

      The thing is, how did this guy get voted in in the first place? People could avoid these negative consequences if they actually turned out to vote these criminals out. I’m glad they’re taking action now, but time and again, we see people refuse to learn the lesson of voting for your own well-being. Look at Wisconsin and that Scott fellow, who now thinks he can run for President!

      • March 14, 2015 at 8:01 pm

        GE, Tnmtngirl! ……..I assume you’re a big fan of Rocky Top? ….I like Josh, he would fit perfectly in Gus Malzahn’s offense at my alum Auburn. I couldn’t figure out what Butch Jones was doing not starting him from the beginning of the season… considering how well he played his Freshman year….good thing for him the starting QB got hurt and Josh got to excel again, but I can pull for the Vols only so much….they are stealing a lot of monster recruits from us!!!

        • March 14, 2015 at 9:19 pm

          Yes, of course I am a Rocky Top fan!! 😄 I’ve been a Josh Dobbs fan since he came here. Don’t like when any player is injured BUT was SO glad when Butch put Josh in. Sure hope he doesn’t get injured. Believe he has a bright future. Butch is building a future here–brick by brick!!!😄😄😄😄. I tend to root for Auburn except when an opponent.

    Israeli elections are this coming Tuesday, on March 17th – St. Patrick’s Day! Is Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu in danger? Israeli politics is remarkably rococo in its complexity, but let’s take a look at the data, then sketch out some scenarios. Bottom line, I think Netanyahu has about a 3-1 chance of being ousted as Prime Minister.

    I am not sure…..but what is going on in Russia…..the Missing/Disappearing/Unaccounted Sighting of Putin is interesting……but not peculiar in my mind.
    A handful of Russian past Leaders have met disastrous ends/ending in the month of March.
    Russians….especially some powerful Russians might have had enough of Putin irrespective “Poll Numbers” indicating 85% Fav of Putin.

      The fishing trip seems to have been a typical Bush event – had to get the SS to get the anchor up during the trial run – and despite the day out and Putin catching a fish – the formal talks were nothing to write home about.

        i suspect the real reason for their meetings, and what was really talked about has not been made public. i try not to be paranoid in general, but this group of friends are actual sociopaths, in the true meaning of the word, and i wouldn’t doubt they’re planning some new form of destruction to benefit themselves somehow. i mean look what pootie is doing with ukraine, and how came out of retirement to take over again from medyedev, who was being all friendly with president obama. pootie and bushes and cheney couldn’t have that, so sure enough here comes pootie again out of the woodwork!

    OT: I’m still catching up on all the posts. But do you think PBO knew about the author of that article on his road to Selma w/ PBO? The blogger who wanted to be on his team in 2008 & joined him on the journey to Selma. It seems so like something PBO would do. Found out about him & gave him the best interview + a ride on AF1++. Bet the lazy WHPC were sour lemons!

      Perhaps also associated with elections in Israel and this …

      “Nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) are entering the final days before the end-of-March target date for reaching a framework agreement.

      U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Iranian Foreign Minster Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday, March 15 in Lusanne, Switzerland. The following day, Zarif will meet with EU foreign policy chief Frederica Mogherini in Brussels. Also present at that meeting will be British Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

      Political directors for the P5+1 and Iran are expected to remain in Switzerland for the week to continue closing the gaps on a framework agreement.”

      Don’t expect any of you to remember this (from May of last year) so wanted to share it again ….

      http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/ukrainian-ballerinas-turn-swan-lake-into-subversive-anti-putin-performance/499300.html

      “”For millions of Soviet people, televised performance of the world-renowned ballet ‘Swan Lake’ always signaled a change in the country’s leadership — either the death of the Secretary-General, or his ouster as a result of a coup,” regional lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko said when introducing the performance in front of Ukrainian television cameras.

      “Because Vladimir Putin has made a fatal mistake by unleashing aggression against Ukraine, today Odessa, as a cultural capital, performs for him this portentous composition,” he said in footage that aired on Ukrainian television and was posted online Wednesday.

      The four ballerinas then proceeded with the pas de quatre from “Dance of the Little Swans.””

      Our clock maker knows his history …..
