The Obama Diary 
Winning like Chelsea!
Great post. Thanks, LP.
Oh dear – football wars continue. gm from my world NW
Many thanks LP
Oh, another Man United fan.
Good Morning, 99ts. How goes this fine – Chelsea winning – day
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
This was the heading in my part of the world – they obviously haven’t met you š
“Chelsea unloved but unstoppable en route to English Premier League title”
The intense soccer rivalry between the fans of Chelsea (Nerdy Wonka (NW) and Liberal Librarian (LL) and the fans of Manchester United (Chipsticks, GGail and others) is quite entertaining for people like me who are not so passionately invested in either team. Having said that, I think NW and LL deserve to be congratulated on Chelsea winning the English Premier League championship. And for Chips and GGail, keep your chin up and keep hope alive.
Hi nath – I’ve been a supporter of ManU since the 1960s but I don’t seem to be so intense about it as some others.
š
Grrrrrrrrr, go back to your champagne, you.
Thanks a gazillion LP, great toons!
TY Chips! …..there is always the off-season to practice for next year?
Oh gawd, United’ll probably sign him as their new goalkeeper š
š š
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuch!!! š
You are such a sore loser.
I saw what you did to LP’s picture. LOL.
Me?!?! šÆ
My pleasure, NW!
Hope Chips doesn’t edit š
Congrats NW š
Well done, LP!!!!! Thank you
š
Awesome cartoons…very profound…these cartoons pack a powerful punch
He just tweeted this a few minutes ago ….
š
I appreciate these encouraging tweets. Thanks Bob.
Of course, Gail.
What has he been doing since then?
Not much, but it’s going to be interesting to watch him make Ms Clinton triangulate during the summer while we await VP Biden to take charge š
Look, they got one!
Another audition for a highly paid Faux Noise Hate Show.
Already out of date, I’m afraid.
Radio tells me that Carly “I ooze elite entitlement” Fiorina will toss her hat in the ring tomorrow. CA GOP female candidates in 2010 were such sourpuss losers (Carly and Meg, yuck).
Uncle Ben sees that he is just a joke. Look at him laughing.
And he seriously thinks the GOP would vote for him – sad sad sad
It’s rather sad that Dr. Ben Carson did not learn a lesson from Dr./Ambassador Allan Keys’ run for President.
Indeed.
Hi there, brother Yardarm. I hope life’s been good to you. I rarely come here these days because my daughter took over my computer.
Get another one! š
Lots of updates via RTs in the sidebar ….
bbl ….
Well, they’ve got their “token” who happens to be paranoid to boot. Double bonus.
You know, GGail, I think that Dr. Ben Carson is not well mentally. Just as brilliant doctors are not immune to diseases like cancer, brilliant doctors are not immune from mental illness.
Good job LP!
LP – These are all fantastic choices. Thanks so much!
Thanks, JB!
Good evening. Hope others of you remembered Book TV. Really enjoying this interview.
Brilliant collection of toons, LP. You really delivered the gold tonight.
My pleasure, Jackie!
The reason for HOPE is obvious ….
just a few of the many updates, via RTs, in the sidebar ….
bbl ….
This is just flippin’ brilliant!! If we would just learn to live in harmony with Mother Earth:
great toons, lp. my fav.
Mine as well, amk …. good morning …. now, off to the cucina ….. š
Thanks, Desi!
bbl …. sup (as amk would say) prep ….
I was listening this Cleveland pastor tonight and he was talking about Tamir Rice. Tamir’s mother was there at the church, and that pastor was talking about how it was ashame that it has taken over five months and that DA still have not decide if he will bring charges against those two officers who murder that 12 year old boy. He asked that anyone who can to contact the DA whose name is Timothy McGinty , call his office or email his office and tell him that we want justice for Tamir Rice. So I am planning to email that DA tonight. If anyone else is interested in doing the same, go to this website, wordcity.org.
This is so touching.
I am donating today!
This is so overwhelming.
No four year old in the world should have this kind of burden. This is heartbreaking.
Wooooooooooot!!!!!
Will Smith as Deadshot in the new Suicide Squad movie. Jared Leto as The Joker.
I. Can’t. Wait.
“…In the photo, Will Smith is locked and loaded as Deadshot, third from the right next to Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Also there is Adam Beach as Slipknot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo. While Viola Davis, Common and Scott Eastwood are also in the film, the absence of Letoās Joker from todayās photo will probably get the most attention other than Robbieās literally killer smile…” What a cast!!!!
Is Deadshot the same character that shows up in DC Comics Arrow?
Yup.
I’m interested to see Will Smith’s take on the character, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adewale as Killer Croc, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Jared Leto as The Joker.
Should be fun.
This year and next year look to be chock full of super hero type movies.
Looks like the images that nightmares are made from, yikes!
Hope! Not naive enough to think all is right with Iran, but progress is progress and more engagement will lead to improved human rights.
And on the book note, anyone interested in additional info on Michelle, I highly recommend Michelle Obama: A Life by Peter Slavin. I managed to stay away from it for most of the day but then couldn’t resist. I am stunned at how much she has accomplished in her working life that I never heard or read about before. For those who think they would rather hear it in her words, I’m not sure Michelle herself would set out as many of her accomplishments as this book does. In many ways her jobs involved as much if not more “community organizing” than PBO’s did. Haven’t finished it yet but I’m now up to the point they are in the WH and I suspect less will be new to me than those prior years. Didn’t think I could respect her more but her accomplishments in her own right are amazing. Unfortunately, they have not received nearly enough attention, I suspect by design given the flack she took during the campaign. In any event, if I was going to pick up one book to read about her this is/was the right one:-)

Stellar toon roundup, LP!
Love the baby elephant photos, with Secretary Kerry’s new friend’s trunk wrapped around his arm — baby obviously doesn’t want him to go. So adorable. Elephants are amazing creatures, so sensitive and caring, and in matriarchal herds.
P.S. Just noticed yesterday that I wasn’t following you on twitter — don’t know how that happened, thought I’d been following you for ages. Corrected that mistake.
Sorry got busy over the weekend, Arapaho! ….here is a complete gallery of SOS Kerry’s trip ending today in Djibouti:
In my backyard…
$625 million opening for Avengers this weekend!!
Death and destruction sells
This is the WTC mosque bigot Pam Gellar’s group
What I find interesting is when the shooter is some random non-muslim his religion does not make headlines but when it’s a muslim it does make headlines and people seem to be obsessed about the religion all the sudden. On Facebook for example its all about religion and are filled with bitter hate filled comments. Maybe these self righteous people need to realize that they are the reason these sorts of things are occurring.
When I first read about it Jeff – I thought we are going to go from “thugs” to “terrorists”. And why is ANYONE having a “Draw Muhammad” contest!! Imagine the outrage if there was a similar contest related to the Christian religion. Wonder if there is truly some weird additives in the water in Texas.
Like behead a christian day where you take a Manichean with a the words Christian carved on his chest and proceed to decapitate it.
THIS! This this this this this! I remember Al Giordano saying much the same thing. People talk about Republicans not really wanting to govern, but I think that some on the left don’t really want the responsibility of governing either. They just want to take potshots and throw stones at the people who do.

I agree, example TPP, Obamacare!
Exactly!
Hopefully, I’ve acknowledged the correct person ….
good night TOD ………..
Such a tearing up picture Bob – thanks for bringing it to TOD. My little grandbabe is 2 – the thought of her in this situation brings home the sadness of events in Nepal.
Look at that 4 yr old’s hands – large and protective! He’s destined to be a ‘comforter’. Touching picture
Good morning, TOD!
Morning, Alycee! Morning, TOD! I was just thinking of Teddy Pendergrass the other day…I have no idea why except that he made some amazing music and it got stuck in my head:) Thanks, Alycee:) Any day is a good day with Teddy. Miss him.
Good Morning, DF! I, too, miss Teddy; he was a family friend. And his music…
Miss Luther, too!
This was the song that I was singing to myself…. š
LOVE THAT SONG!
Morning!

Saw his show, from backstage, at the Greek in LA. My, my, my…
Why am I NOT surprised in the slightest? Remember when Janet Napolitano said that homegrown terrorists were the biggest threat to US and the RW all laughed at her? I do.
