First?
Congrats Vicki for being 1st.
Yes! Hellooooooooooooooo Vicki!
Yes, Vicki, you have won the gold!
TY, Judith and Nena, and Chips
Congrats on being first Vicki!
So the Brits have now ID’ed the terrorist who who killed Foley?
Hello TOD.
Apparently and another prisoner has been freed, Nena.
Great, thanks Vicki for the info.
Happy Birthday to Handsome Dan (ny Stix)!!!
Hi, TOD.
Here is what I logged on to post.
The New York Times took 2 weeks+.
But this morning they got there.
Headline, “Timeline for a Body: 4 Hours in the Middle of a Ferguson Street”
Now verbatim, paragraph 4:
“The delay helped fuel the outrage,” said Patricia Bynes, a committeewoman in Ferguson. “It was very disrerspectful to the community and the people who live there. It also sent the message from law enforcement that ‘we can do this to you any day, any time, in broad daylight, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
So true. That was awful.
Chips, what time is ManU playing soccer in honor of Danny’s birthday? And will I be able to view the match on Univision? If not, when where? Thanks and good west coast morning :-)
They’re playing at the moment GGail. Well, I’m using the word ‘playing’ loosely - they’re 1-1 with Sunderland with just ten minutes to go :cry:
Thanks Chips, I am able to view the score, but can’t find free viewing online. I don’t think 1-1 is such a bad thing. Buck up ole girl :-)
GOOOOAAAALLLLLLLS
Heading out and about, good to see you all, and interesting to see how much I am missing!! ;) Big hugs all around! Having a ball, but not the kind DannyBirthdayBoy likes to chew on and tear to shreds! HeeHee!! <3
The Truth Teller, our Doc, Bobfr ;)
:)
Hi hf, I saw her perform last night - she. is. awesome!
Hopefully she makes it to the 2016 Olympics in Rio :)
I think, baring injury, that she will make it :-)
Indeed!
She’s amazing!
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine
Manchester United has shocked the footballing world by managing a draw against the titans of Sunderland.
C’mon, give Chips some love……on a Sunday afternoon ;) a draw in Football is to be celebrated :)
Congrats Chips. It’s Danny’s Birthday…….A Draw is a BFD……a great Win for Dannystix.
Excuse me you, they lost at home to Sunderland last season, so the #DutchRevolution has well and truly begun :cool:
LL, I see it as a victory for ManU as I encouraged Chips to do as well :-)
Well, they’ve collected 1 point out of the six available in the first two games. *I* certainly see that as a victory… for Chelsea.
Who are you??? Is that you Mitt???!!! Twisting things to be positive about you and your team??? :D :D :D
Hah! Chelsea is top of the table. We’re all good. #TrustDiegoCosta
Slams? Okay….timidly taps……my opinion on the latter.
Raise your hand if you expect Fox to tell the truth. They tell their made up truth and the idiots that listen to them is just as wacko as they are.
Fox is from the gutter, what does that say about the folks who listen to them?
THE WORD ‘GUTTER’ IS TOO GOOD FOR THEM!…I WATCHED THIS…RED AND BLUE NEWS…AN AWESOME KICK IN THE SEAT OF THE PANTS FOR THOSE CONSERVATIVE CARNIVORES…LIARS TO THE BONE…JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!!!!
Because we’re Californians, that’s why!
lemonade outta lemons:)
I WAS IN ONE OF THOSE LIVING OUT THERE…THERE IS REALLY NO PLACE TO RUN….
I was pulling for Mo’ne, and I was pulling for the Chicago team. At least one of them reach the championship LL game.
Any congratulation from POTUS or FLOTUS to the Chicago Little League team for reaching the championship game. I have a feeling the team will be invited to the White House, win or lose today.
HEADLINE: CNN Gets Punked By Fake Cop: Quake Was ‘Rumbling From Howard Stern’s Butt Crack’
//CNN on Sunday failed to check the credentials of someone who said he was a San Francisco Police Department official, and then said that the recent earthquake was a “rumbling from Howard Stern’s butt crack.” Just hours after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake rocked the Napa Valley region of California, a CNN host introduced someone named “Adam Sure” as the “PIO of the San Francisco police.” // (Read more…)
http://crooksandliars.com/2014/08/cnn-gets-punked-fake-cop-quake-was
ROTFLMAO…that’s what happens when CNN fails to vet their “sources” on their dash to report a story at all costs….Paging Jake Tapper with his “Josie” witness, and Don King with his “dark-skinned males” Boston bombers reporte.
NO CRED NETWORK…Ted Turner must be kicking himself every damn day.
Yes DF, it’s easy to punk them because they have no ethics or integrity. This won’t be the last time this happens.
Sure won’t be! They are ripe for the punking…no ethics or journalistic principles will do that
They did that to Krystal Ball live during Live Malaysian Flight Coverage
Happy Birthday to Danny!
Happy Birthday to COS!
Hope you both have wonderful days today!
O.k. off to work, sorry I can’t stay for the party! >^..^<
Thx MadameSoph.
COS! “They say it’s your birthday!” Have a great one, O’friend.
For anyone who think that murdering black men and teen boys here in this country is some new thing, remember Emmitt Till, the 14 year old who was visiting family when he was drag out of his bed one night, beaten and murder, body toss in a river. What was his crime? They say he whistle at a white woman. How many Emmitt Till were they, that we know nothing about.
Happy Sunday TOD!
Happy Birthday Danny!
Happy Birthday COS!
So much to celebrate! :-D
Waitwut? Suge Knight was shot? He must have enough metal in him to constantly set off detectors.
Again?
At a VMA party in West Hollywood.
That was MY first thought.
Um, ouch.
“We will forever remember our heroes—the guys who died defending our freedom. But we know that from now on, there is no South, East, and West of our country. There Is Ukraine. Period.
…I just spoke with the coordinator of IR [Information Resistance], who hosts a few refugees from Donbas at his home. I quote his words: “Today is the first time they will be celebrating independence day, and mind you, on their own initiative….” No matter how pathetic it sounds, but this is the moment when a united country is born.”
Happy Birthday Danny~You’ve become a very handsome dog.
Hi TOD. Happy Birthday Danny! And a belated Happy Day to you Chips. I’ve been lurking and not commenting because I have too much first hand experience with police over-reach, and the games the media play, dating back to the 70’s. I said a prayer way back then that I would not turn into a cynical bitter adult. I don’t believe I have as my sense of humor is in tact and I am keeping hope alive.
I thank everyone who comments here, and all the Bts who post, I feel my thanks alone are insufficient for all you add to the quality of my life.
By the way, looks like we are coming up on 27 mil. hits soon. Love you guys!! <3 :D 8-)
Happy Birthday to COS also. :)
THEY RELEASED AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST FROM SYRIA….PRAISE GOD!….THE SYRIANS ARE IN A SWEAT…THEY DON’T WANT THE BIG ‘O’ TO PLAY IN THEIR SANDBOX!…TOUGH….FILL IN THE BLANKS!!!!!!..THIS MEANS THEY HAVE ALOT OF TOYS HIDDEN IN THE SNDBOX!.WOOOOT-WOOOOT!
Trust me, Syria knows damn well what the score is. They know all too well what President Obama is capable of when tested.
Forbidden fruit!
Rape is violence and terrorism.
He should die a violent death.
Reading that article made my blood boil, I hope the full weight of the justice system comes crashing down on his worthless ass.
I have no words. They should turn him loose on the South side of Chicago on a Saturday night and let folks know he’s coming.
If true this Oklahoma cop need to get life in prison.
But this isn’t from the CDC and I’ll wait for the Whitehouse to say something and the state Dept hasn’t said anything…
Oh wait a minute…, you’re not JOVIE… Never mind!
Lol :)
“Another Group,” well this other group must have gotten the word that being a hostage taker doesn’t last long.
Al Nusra—-
Is the other group called ” Friends of John McCain ? “
Old John is all aflutter that we have photos of him posing with men who are now members of ISIS….he’s lashing out and feeling VERY defensive!
Hmm? Will they do the right thing?
First time posting a photo (fingers crossed). It’s the logo we use for our Fiesta Latina and a crowd shot.
Yeah!! It actually posted. Red Letter Day!
Oh, jackie! I read earlier that you had a great turnout and the rain stayed away for your event yesterday:) I was so happy to hear that. From your wonderful post, it sounds like everyone had a great time and you got some business taken care of with voter reg. AWESOME. I know what a huge undertaking all this planning is, so it was great to hear that it all went off without a hitch:)
Thanks, Df. It was exhilarating and exhausting at the same time. But, Boy, was it worth it. We’re already thinking of next year.
FABULOUS photos and T-shirts, jackie!! Congrats on such a huge success. You’re on a roll!!
Well, lookee here! :) :) I am so happy for you, JackieG! I just re-entered after hours away, and zeroed into this section of comments (actually was speeding down to see if a new post was being sneaked in ;) ) and there you are, with excellent news!
1. Great weather for your fiesta latina!!!!
2. Your first twitter pics!!!!!
Just wonderful!
It was all due to you, VC. I followed your directions like I was boiling an egg for the first time.
That comparison made me laugh out loud, JackieG! *You* did it! And I’m pleased as punch, plus just grinning that you had good weather yesterday. I missed your report as I was outside for ages fighting with my lawnmower. Both mower (can’t get it to start) and lawn (enough grass I could prolly lose myself in) won so I was not a happy camper coming back on line. *Your* success cheered me right up! :grin: :grin:
So sad.
What a tragedy that was. So sorry to hear about it.
Our girl got married!!
Wish them all the best:) She is an AWESOME AG….wish we had one of her here in AZ….we could soon, if people VOTE!!
Congratulation to Ms. Harris. Best wishes to you two.
Lovely lady, wishing her and hers much happiness.
Congrats to AG Harris and her new hubby! :)
Tickled me:) I have the same pepper mill :)
Hello, Layla! Sending you warm Sunday wishes! (I’m planning to head east in a few days, so hope you guys are having fairly decent (meaning ‘dry’) weather.

GOP Firm Interviews 200K Voters Per Month
“The conservative political data firm i360 is polling more than 200,000 registered voters every month in an effort to offer Republicans unparalleled voter turnout capabilities in the midterm elections and beyond,” the Washington Examiner reports.
“The Democrats have been at the forefront of collecting data on prospective voters and using the information to drive turnout, far outpacing the Republican Party’s data-mining efforts. But i360 believes it has turned a corner, with company officials asserting that the firm’s access to proprietary survey data on millions of Americans offers Republicans an advantage in the competition to sway public opinion and influence the vote.”
Good Day Everyone:-)
((((((((((((HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY)))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((HAPPY BIRTHDAY COS))))))

Roxy and Allie ( our rescue mom and daughter) send their homemade liver treats to Danny. They love his pictures and comments. They have not learned to use the computer key board yet. So I am posting for them.
Thank you TOD for being here to support and nourish a community of Obama supporters. You keep me sane and I do not feel so isolated.
