    So I’ve had to respond to and block only one right winger. They must all be buying stock in Poland Springs.

    Now, I’m really going to bed.

    For everyone who’s interested…….this is from the Los Angeles Police Captain…..”the cabin is too hot to enter tonight and we don’t know if there is a body in there or not. Any reports of us having a body and that it’s Dorner is INCORRECT”.

      Thanks for the update GGail. Glad he didn’t get the news coverage. But, I’m isolated on Csan and TOD. ;)

      GGail - CNN finally corrected their … er … so-called “reporting,” because they had declared a body was removed. They don’t seem to get much right, do they?

        And yet, they were quite happy to endlessly report the false controversy around Susan Rice. She provided the best information available at the time - provided to her by the CIA. CNN has no excuse.

          CNN is really going down. Too bad, because it once was a good place to receive actual accurate news (I’ll leave the politics out of it here!).

      Was it the police who set the cabin on fire

        No, I don’t think so. Please don’t rush to conclusions. This was strange. I went to LA Times to catch up with story. But things change as more info is discovered.

          Carol..i was not rushing…just asking a question…i could not stay riveted to the screen/and when i say the smoke/

          none of the news reports that i heard commented on who started the fire….

      Sorry state of congress politics. Rubio needs to be named and shamed for voting against this act (as do 21 other MEN). Presumably the war on women is strong among those who want to keep them barefoot, pregnant and dependent.

    thank you marco oh-nooooo!!! i learned more tonight about a particular company so I can be sure to never give a single cent to this america-hating operation, Poland Spring Water (owned by Swiss-owned Nestle)…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_Spring

    “In June 2003, Poland Spring was sued for false advertising in a class action lawsuit charging that their water that supposedly comes from springs, is in fact heavily treated common ground water.[9] The suit also states, hydro-geologists hired by NestlĂ© found that another current source for Poland Spring water near the original site stands over a former trash and refuse dump, and below an illegal disposal site where human sewage was sprayed as fertilizer for many years.[9] The suit was settled in September 2003, with the company not admitting to the allegations, but agreeing to pay $10 million in charity donations and discounts over the next 5 years.[10] NestlĂ© continues to sell the same Maine water under the Poland Spring name.
    These problems are featured in the 2012 european-union-sponsored movie bottled life.[11]“

    Totally forgot about him until I saw a reference on Twitter. Was Ted Nugent at the SOTU?

    I had a meeting tonight, and now that I’ve heard my President’s speech and stopped crying down my leg at “The Gulp Heard ‘Round the World,” I am finally commenting! I so loved the President’s speech. I am just so amazed and overwhelmed at his brilliance. And I actually want to thank Marco for showing the world the “best” of what the GOP has to offer… and giving the President an assist he really didn’t need. To all you “dry mouthed” GOP’ers, just remember…”No weapon formed against him shall prosper.” Good night my hilarious family!

    Thanks Chipsticks for posting the SOTU speech for some of us who missed it. What an incredible SOTU speech! This was by far the best SOTU speech I’ve ever listened to. PBS pundits, not surprisingly, were emphasizing negatives, just like their comrades in the MSM corporate media. That’s why one minute after the President’s speech, I stopped the video because I couldn’t stand the PBS pundits trying to tell me how to interpret what I heard from the President or what I witnessed when it came to the way the President’s speech was received.

    Again, thank you for sharing this with us and for your wonderful blog!
