For you CHips
Congrats Tally and vitaminlover on first place tie! :)
Wootwoot!
Misleading headline :-)
(No one tell Chips that while a 1-1 draw gets you a point in the standings in a competitive match, in a friendly it’s, well, just a 1-1 draw.)
Way to go Chips!!!
Do not upset her. It’s not pretty when she’s upset about this game with the ball and the kicking and the other stuff which I do not understand.
Actually, the game is super easy. You kick the ball and put it in the net. That’s it. The only tricky part is learning about the offside rule. But even that you’ll understand after watching one or two games.
You’ve already lost me. Balls and hoops or sticks or offsides or defensive lines or whatever - I just have no interest in sports.
You have a very weird definition of what a win constitutes. It’s 1-1 woman. Put down the beer goggles. It’s 1-1.
UT, sometimes a tie for a team that was expected to lose can be considered a win. At least Chipsticks considers a tie a win. Contrast that with the U.S. Senate where 41 Republican votes out of 100 are considered by the media as a win for the Republican party.
Celebrating with Chips right now. I needed this glass of delicious red.HZ
Wish I was toasting with you, HZ! Oh, and Chips, too, of course!
I need to go for a walk. May be I will buy a bottle of red and come back and celebrate with Chips for Ireland not losing.
That’s the spirit! :)
The Obama Administration is up on all the latest stuff - even Timberlake’s latest tunes. No fuddy-duddies there!
Hmmm……

As Even Germany Gives Up Austerity, Here’s A Look At Where This ‘Dangerous Idea’ Came From
http://www.nationalmemo.com/as-even-germany-gives-up-austerity-heres-a-look-at-where-this-dangerous-idea-came-from/
I still remember that G8 meeting in Camp David when there was much gloating that Cameron and Merkel refused stimulus and preferred austerity, despite the President warning them that not pursuing growth could damage the global economy. I hope they privately admit that they were wrong, at least.
“back in a while, just tied up a little:” - Yes, yes. No need for anymore details on how you celebrate a team win.
:lol: :lol: :lol: TMI, eh? HaHaHa!

Hmmm, although I am tempted to question your picking up the message so quickly, I won’t. ;) {{GoB}}

Why is it that every time I see Air Force One land, and the President come charging down the steps, I find it thrilling!
You’re not alone carolyn. Sometimes I can hear the excitement in the local news reporters’ voices when AF1 approaches and/or lands. They can’t help it. We can’t help it. PBO is just all THAT…
President Barack Hussein Obama is the type of man every woman dreams of, and the one every man wants to emulate. He is hot, he is cool, he is sexy and funny, he is beyond the stratosphere in intelligence, and he is compassionate, caring and empathetic. He truly is one of a kind. I’m so happy he’s my President.
Well I guess that answers your question VC………..everyone lets pop the champaign!!!!
It sure does!
.
It has just dawned on me that Chipsticks could easily audition for, and EARN, a spot in the MSM using their criteria for news. I mean, look at this title and tell me it doesn’t rank way up there with anything the MSM have produced. “Ireland beat England 1-1”. Coupled with her piece on Lipstickgate, what a portfolio!
Those people are so excited to meet POTUS just look at his smile
On the flip side — I am soooooo glad that Michelle Blockhead has removed herself from the premises.
She hasn’t gone yet, has she? I thought she had another 18 months, almost. She will undoubtedly do a lot more of her idiotic rambling before she actually packs up her stuff and leaves, but it sure was good to hear that she’s on her way out.
Maybe she will abruptly terminate it like the illustrious half-governor did.
Now that’s an uplifting thought - promptly crossing my fingers. :grin:
She’s still wreaking havoc. Off to Russia to find a way to blame PBO for the Boston bombing.
I would never be able to understand or dialogue civilly with anyone who actually cast a vote for this particular politician.
Bachmann has and will always be a damn lunatic
Yet she was treated as a serious, upright public servant by our “librul” media….
She was a Presidential Candidate, for heaven’s sake! Leading the contenders at one point, even. It’s a shame that will never be lived down.
I know, right? SMH..
Sad part is this parasite has done zero as a legislator but draw a salary and a pension. Disgraceful! :-(
Correct. Sad, indeed.
well, in her case, i think we’re lucky she wasn’t more effective. ;)
She took a seat where someone might have done something. They all want smaller gov. just don’t mess with their salary or pension.
Exactly yardarm. They hate big government - but love that reliable always there paycheck.
“Karma has a fine sense of humor.”
Yes indeed, Hopefruit! As the lyric goes: “Another one bites the dust….”
OT nath. Marvin Junior of the Dells made his transition today…..Part of my teen years go with him.
Stay in my corner — 6:38 minutes of pure teenaged bliss…
Yardarm, I am so sorry to hear of the sad news! We must be in the same age group because his music was also part of my coming of age days. May he R.I.P.
Another Chi-town performer from the old school, gone. Not many left…..As far as the age group thing, I figured that out a long time ago…..Player! :-)
“Another Chi-town performer from the old school, gone. Not many left….”
It’s been like that in these recent years. Well, I suppose it is what it is. None of us have any control.
Yeah, No one will get out of this life alive. And you’ll never see a Brinks armored trunk in a funeral procession!
Michelle is in Boston Fundraising for congress and visiting bombing victims.
Yes, there if I’m not mistaken FLOTUS will be in New York for two fundraiser. She might already be in New York.
I think it was so nice of FLOTUS to visit the Boston bombing survivors.
Your afternoon bon mot:
Well, that’s what they do best. NOTHING. :) :)
PBO is on Marine One enroute to landing near LSD (Lake Shore Drive) on the Southside near his Hyde Park home.
is Lake Shore Drive affluent? Just curious.
Yes—-a big chunk of it anyway—-where Oprah lived.
Thanks!
Parts of it are. Even where it goes through less affluent areas, Lake Shore Drive itself is usually well-to-do. Prime real estate.
Thanks, 57.
Negative. It’s one of the main arteries that goes from the Southside to Downtown. As the name suggests it runs along the lake and goes from south to north thru some affluent and some not. Why do you ask? What’s your point?
I can ask if I want — like I said just curious.
Continues north from downtown also
Thanks again, dotster.
dotster3. Let’s not lead folks astray. That photo in wiki shows the view north which is the affluent part of the drive that has one of Oprah’s digs. Looking south to the Museum of Science and Industry ain’t that classy. Hyde Park is about a mile West of the Drive and mostly working class in management.
It not what you ask it the way you ask it.
Must Read: I can’t believe this…
“So it was with shock (and with something like the opposite of awe) that, seven years later, the newly elected Barack Obama learned that the Bush administration had never even drawn up plans for attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. Obama discovered this when he asked his generals for their plan, and they had none. Bush had never asked for one. The bellicose rhetoric on Iran, in other words, was empty of substance.”
WOWZERS, this is awesome:
I do not know much about him….is this considered a good pick….
I remember this very well:
thanks meta
Interesting. What I really appreciated was the fact that the questioner (democrat or republican) was not at all belligerent, rude, or seeming to have an axe to grind. He gave a strong impression that he just wanted to get at the facts. Good to be reminded there was a time when this kind of investigation worked as it should.
That was Senator Schumer.
He sounds honourable.
Is anything happening on anybody’s live feed right now, apart from ads every time you refresh?
Are you talking about this threads live feed, VC? I’ve never seen a commercial on here.
Another good read from The People’s View!!
HEADLINE: One in Four Liberals Still Suffering from Obamacare Derangement Syndrome
// … with 25% of the liberals in the survey saying they do not support the president’s health care law. You know which crowd this is - this is the Left’s very own “kill the bill” and public option pony crowd…
…If you care about real people at all, you should be thankful for the Affordable Care Act. There is not one iota of reason for liberals to oppose the ACA, not to mention make up fully a third of the opposition. Except, of course, ODS, or Obama Derangement Syndrome. The Left’s establishment - the people who dominate the Left’s media outlets new and old - still has not accepted the President as the legitimate leader of the progressive movement in this country. And they can’t get over the fact that he got things done by setting their agitation aside… //

hahahahha,,,oppps…..did not realizes you were posting as well…. smilin

Whoops, that is in the wrong spot…this was in reply to Carolyn @ 6:05!
“And they can’t get over the fact that he got things done by setting their agitation aside.”
That is the best assessment I’ve heard, yet. Brilliantly articulated.
They want him to be a leftist version of GWB, forgetting that GWB wasn’t the one in charge.
Thanks Hopefruit for sharing this. It is an excellent read.
You’re welcome nath. An excellent read, indeed. :)

One in Four Liberals Still Suffering from Obamacare Derangement Syndrome
Opposing the Affordable Care Act - the most progressive leap forward in health care reform at least since the advent of Medicare and probably the greatest strengthening of the social safety net since the creation of Social Security - because it’s not “liberal enough” is a lot like opposing air travel because consumer jets do not travel at the speed of sound.
Oh my - we’re on the same wavelength prettyfoot :)
smiling…yess!
Prettyfoot, you and Hopefruit are on the same page. But that TPV article, by Spandan, is an excellent piece that needs to be shared over and over again.
Indeed…

Early report card on Obamacare looking good
If you are among the many Americans who have bought into the fear and loathing that has been the campaign against Obamacare, you just might wish to reconsider. With every passing day, the various myths, legends and lies put forward by those with a political axe to grind, TV or radio rating to be raised or vote to be purchased, are falling victim to the facts
Senator Elizabeth Warren praises First Lady Michelle Obama today at Boston fundraiser. She said I love Michelle Obama, she’s a real fighter, just take a look at those biceps. I always knew Elizabeth Warren was a smart woman, and she would make a great Senator.
October 23 POTUS and FLOTUS will have their first State Dinner of POTUS second term. Brazil President Dilma Rousseff will be honor.
Anniebella, that will certainly be an exciting cultural night!
Now that Michelle Blockhead is leaving, possibly we can also be rid of Turtle McConnell.
vitaminlover, That would be so sweet, to get rid of that ugly nasty man.
I truly hope that he LOSES in a landslide.
Our First Lady is Named Michelle.
The Nut from MN is Michele Bachmann with one “L” ;)
I am sure that it is understood who I was referring to. As I do love First Lady Obama.
I know that you know……I just loathe the nutt. Pointing out the “L” makes me feel better since her name is similar to the 1st lady……..my little tick…..beef….idiocy….I guess ;) pardon me……
See where you are coming from but did you mean to misspell nut as nutt? I detest her too. She has a vendetta against my Beloved President.
Just one of my Typos…..I meant nut. I stuck the ‘t” a tad harder….. oops. :(
That is not nice, but I love that Nena20409, that nut from Minnesota is spell with one “L”.
I heard that there will be a concert show for Oklahoma tonight on NBC, with Blake Shelton and a number of country music stars. I’m not familiar with OK, but I is there no other music genre big in OK or is it primarily country music.
It’s not for any particular reason, but being a non-Country fan myself, my first thought was do they only like country music in OK? But then I figured it mus be the big draw for Oklahomans.
So TOD OK peeps what other famous musicians hail from Ok who are NOT country musicians. Just wondering.
The late, great Wayman Tisdale — jazz bassist and former NBA player.
Toby Keith wrote this song as a tribute to Wayman
Yes, I would say country music is probably the #1 music pick of Oklahomans. However, we do have excellent jazz and classical music too. Our Oklahoma Philharmonic is excellent and brings in world class guest stars every year.
However……to make a lot of money in one night, country is the way to go. Reba McIntire is a guaranteed draw…..the others I haven’t even heard of. I’m not a country music fan at all.
I can, however, name the guest artists for the Philharmonic.
Well, we’re under a severe weather warning again, but NOT a tornado warning. Heavy rain, wind, thunder, lightnng…..no hail so far. We’ve given our dog, Rose, her Benadryl to keep her calm during the thunder. She just shakes.
I figured as much carolyn.
it just struck me how this tribute shows are cast and I realized that the other tribute seemed to be more diverse, if that’s the right term, and this one just struck me as basically being about mainly one genre of music.
Having said that, I do love Reba McIntire, but not for her music, I loved her sitcom Reba.
I believe that Usher is also performing. HZ
Thousands of people signed up to attend an armed march on Washington over the course of the last month. But now, the leader of the march is setting his sights much higher than a single demonstration — he wants his armed followers to help overthrow the American government…
************************
Now what could go wrong???
Beck…….Limbaugh……… & company inspire this kind of behavior with their hate talk…
I ask you…when does all of this become “Sedition”…
Big big bark, little little penises….
There was a great episode of “Robot Chicken” where a dweeb goes to buy the biggest penis car he can find. When the salesman tries to talk him out of it, the dweeb says “I don’t think you realize the infinitesimally small size of my penis”. Pretty much sums up all of them.
It’s sedition when I actually do it, I guess. I hear there’s room at Gitmo. Lock them all up.
They have Lost their collective minds. How do they magically believe that they can match The Government with all the Gov’t has? These people are stewed in Deep seeded Hatred and that irks them to pieces.
Oh, I think the march JUST got cancelled after this joker’s declarations.
That is good to hear…..it was a disaster…just waiting to happen!
Oh, no, I was being facetious. The march hasn’t been cancelled. But advocating the overthrow of the federal gov’t is a no no. So I expect it to be looked into.
Let them try, grab some giffy-pop!
And these people claim to honor the Constitution? Advocating armed rebellion against a duly elected government of the United States is treason! PERIOD! The leader of this “Armed March on Washington,” who is calling for the overthrow of the government, needs to be prosecuted as a traitor who is violating the Constitution of the United States.
Send them all to Gitmo…..see how they like it…..perpetual prison.
Just in: DOD to Furlough 11k Teachers to pre school kids for five days as part of sequester.
Isn’t that nice?
Spot on!
Anyone planning to see “Motown” on Broadway - please do. You will not be disappointed - in fact, you will plan to go back a second time. Please ignore professional reviews - they are BS. Take it from the ordinary folks like myself who enjoyed the show from START to FINISH. And the entire audience was having fun, singing, clapping, dancing, interacting! It was a BLAST! :) :) Oooh Smokey Robinson..ooh the Jackson 5…ooh Marvin…ooooooh….Diana…Mary…Gladys…oooh…
It’s hard to get tickets (and it will get harder), so don’t delay any further. Only drawback is that Tx are not cheap - at $137 a pop and not yet on the discount table because demand is so high. But it’s worth every penny of it. :) :)
Sorry—only have Knoller for Obama event reporting….
I’ll take any snippet! Thx! :)
And no doubt that should be “bad priorities in congress”
