Hi VC! Congrats on First :-)
Greeting, Gx2! :)
:-)
What are you smiling about now? You know something I don’t know? :grin:
I know you know something you’re not telling me. But that’s ok, I’ll find out in July. I’m very patient…I can wait :D
Now you’ve lost me! Oh well, maybe something will surface. :grin:
Riiiight :wink:
`
Don’t get sassy with me girlie! HA!
. ;)
vc, I replied, but I don’t know where it went????
Found and freed!!!
Good evening VeeeeeeeCeeeeee!!
Thanks Chips :-)
Helloooooo, to you, Ms C!
:grin: WordP has been having fun it seems. Your response will surface eventually.
Congrats VC!
Hello, NC. I notice, at a glance, that you have been pretty active the last couple of days. :grin:
Hi yourself, and congrats.
:) You are here!
Makes your day, doesn’t it.
Yep! #icingonthecake
Congrats VC :)
NW, when I think you can’t get any better you deliver an even more diverse and highly informative set of tweets. Thank you so much!!! (and appreciate your including one of mine, Bibi’s history FAIL and all of President Rouhani’s).
:)
Excellent and informative tweets Nerdy. Thanks so much.

Thanks for this break (for my heart), NerdyW. :grin: You can’t forget the people with *heart* issues when you are serving the naughty mat crowd, you know.

An hour later and I still haven’t figured it out. Tomorrow’s another day.
<3
Congrats vc. Thanks Nerdy
:)
YOU DO SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB OF COLLECTING INFO. NERDY…MERCI’…GRACIAS AND THANK YOU!
I’m getting close to forgiving you for being a Chelsea girl, Nerdy - close-ish. Thank you Mrs Hazard, another exceptional round-up!
C’mon…….Cooooooooooooooooooome on. You know you want to be wearing Blue and cheering for a winning team.
I can’t believe what you said to her. GGail and I don’t want fans that are swayed by just a couple tweets. Specially after ManU’s rout of Newcastle today while Chelsea barely squeaked by.
Wedding chapel booked, The Pink Palace at 3:0 tomorrow in Vegas, see you there my beloved.
Chelsea scored in the 22nd minute. Man United played abysmally and squeaked a goal through in the 89th minute.
But okay, then.
22nd minute: Boooooooooring.
89th minute: Thrillllllling.
:???:
I see a *guffaw* deep *chortle* Champions League *snort* run in *bwahahahahahahahaha* MUFC’s future *dies*

That’s right japa. We need stedfast fans, not bandwagoners like unoho. :-)
——> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AMK, GGAIL????????
Damn Chips, can you say that any LOUDER??? I don’t think the lurkers heard you :D
I’m on the FLOOR!!!!! ROFLMAO :D :D :D
Thanks NW! Again all the news of the day. News we can use!
:)
I believe one Mrs. Judith Fardig requested a Mr. Tim Howard? Fabulous choice.
Here you go, m’lady.
Meh.
:cool:
:lol:
Well, for once NW and I are in total agreement.
:D :D :D :D :D
LOL! :-D
Well, there goes my dinner.
Not everyone can appreciate a finely chiseled human :roll:
Speaking of dinner:
oven broiled flat iron steak, seasoned in Hitching Post magic dust
And a very healthy salad.
Meh.
Pasta a la brown sauce :cool:
Compared to some of the other monstrosities you’ve featured, that looks appetizing.
Vegetarian option, burger and bacon
You are an evil woman.
Chips, if you don’t look too close, the crown appears to have the ManU crest on it. How’d you do that? :D
Agree!!!! That is phenomenally disgusting ………
OH MY…MY STOMACH WAS NOT PREPARED FOR EITHER OF THESE MENU CATASTROPHIES…THERE IS NOT ENUFF BROMO ON THE MARKET TO TAKE CARE OF THIS!
Made my day, NW! Love the guy!
Thank you verrrrrry much, Nerdy! :-D
NW - you are a national treasure!
:)
NW, that Tim Howard pic with him and the towel, made my eyes water.
THANKS Judith, that was my desert for the night. :-)
Happy to share! :)
GE TOD.
According to this GOPolitico article these were (some of) the people in attendance today:
John Harwood of CNBC and The New York Times, Juan Williams of The Hill and Fox News, and Washington Post columnists Eugene Robinson and Jonathan Capehart.
Thanks Nerdy, for your relentless, brilliant coverage today. You brought us through so many emotional highs and lows that I feel we were inside events, not just reading or watching them. At the end of the day, all I can say is, “whew!” By the way, the parents of Mike Brown have been a class act since day one. They always manage to speak with compassion, understanding and totally without malice. What beautiful people they are.
Thanks, Jackie.
Michael Brown’s parents truly are grace personified.
Hope this guy isn’t married to one …

Talking Points Memo @TPM
Michael Carvin, the attorney arguing against Obamacare, says the statute was “written by white women and minorities”
The ACA is based on the Heritage Foundation’s plan……a bunch of white men I assume.
I think you’d be assuming correctly.
I was just reading reports that said he spent time interrupting the justices - but only the women! Definitely not a person I would want on my team.
Nor mine!
Just finished watching the CBS Evening News. They somehow lost the report on the Keystone Pipeline vote - there was no mention of the spanking the GOP got today :D
This kind of behaviour is pathetic, insulting, and a clear indication of how deviously small-minded Repugs are!
//……………………………
After several hours of deliberations at Monday’s committee meeting, however, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Fort asked McKoon if he could pause work for a moment to use the bathroom. McKoon obliged, but while the Democrat hurried to the lavatory, the rest of the committee — which consisted entirely of Republicans once Fort left the room — quickly pulled the “religious liberty” bill off the table and began voting. A staffer alerted other Democrats who rushed to the scene, but the committee had already passed the bill by the time lawmakers arrived.
“[McKoon] knew I was going to come back,” Fort told the Constitution. “It seems to me the right thing would have been to delay the vote until all the members who had appeared at the committee were in the room.”
The committee’s cloak and dagger shenanigans are but the latest act in an ongoing drama surrounding the “religious liberty” bill ……….//
http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2015/03/04/3629655/georgia-license-discriminate-bill-forced-committee-bathroom-break/
I’m not surprise - typical Georgia.

‘Night.
typical GOP would be more accurate - they cannot win fair - ever.
And LOD is spending an hour on Hillary’s emails, not Ferguson.
If Lawrence picks a topic, we’re all supposed to fall in line, dontcha know. I was over him following his last “big topic.”
As are most blogs I read - and they are the left leaning ones. White man privilege.
Does anyone know when SCOTUS will rule on King vs. Burwell Obamacare case?
June-ish
Thanks LL!
Probably the week or day in June. They have to agonize over it especially if Roberts doesn’t go along with Scalia again.
Sad.
May she rest in peace.
What the hell is this about?
Granholm tried to cape for Hillary and LOD was not having it.
Haven’t watched LOD since he tried to tell PBO what’s up, but I am sorry to have missed this.
Spandan over at The Peoples View has an article re the SCOTUS ruling on ACA. His graph shows that of the 7.5 million people who stand to lose their health insurance if the Court rules against ACA, 61% of those are whites in the south. After all, Red States are the states who refused to enact the exchanges. Spandan, with a little levity, said that Republicans are probably sitting in a backroom somewhere praying that the Court doesn’t rule against the ACA. What in the world would the Republicans do to insure all those people.
The boomerang effect. That’s what they get for trying to deny / thwart / destroy PBO at every turn.
In their sixth year of his Presidency. It’s that old Einstein definition of insanity, rearing its ugly head at them, again (as PBO has said, himself, I believe):
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — Albert Einstein
These are the same idiots that shut down the government and told Boner they did not think it would actually happen. They will go over the edge and wonder who let this happen? That is why they are screaming that PBO better come up with a “Plan B”. I say F’em.
Yes, I think at this point, it’s safe to say we’d all pretty much agree - F’em.

From Wikipedia:
“Akim Camara (born 26 September 2025 (in Berlin) is a violinist child prodigy who began playing at the age of two.
In May 2003, at only two years of age, Akim was given violin lessons by instructor Birgit Thiele at the Marzahn-Hellersdorf School of Music. Akim was at this point still in diapers and speaking in unintelligible toddler gibberish yet he was remarkably able to remember music heard and the names of all orchestral instruments.

After six months of this fairly light training regimen Akim had his debut performance in December 2003 at the age of three in a Christmas concert “Schneeflöckchen, Weissröckchen” put on by the Marzahn-Hellersdorf School of Music.

He hastily took action and invited the parents and grandmother of the boy to his studio in Kerkrade, Netherlands along with Akim. Three year old Akim’s performance at the studio was apparently so impressive that it left all of the orchestra members in astonishment and disbelief.
Within two weeks, in July 2004, Akim was performing with Rieu in concert at Kerkrade’s Parkstad Limburg Stadion filled to near max capacity with an audience of 18,000 people on a toddler-size violin and wearing a tiny custom-made concert tuxedo and dress shoes. After amusing the crowd with a “water trick” toddler Akim then performed Ferdinand Kuchler’s violin concertino in G, opus 11 followed by a brief encore performance. Akim exited stage right after two massive standing ovations and roaring cheers…”
