On This Day - Pete Souza: “I loved the look Alanah Poullard’s face as the President wrote a school excuse note for the five-year-old, while visiting with Wounded Warriors and their families in the East Room during their tour of the White House. Alanah asked for a note to show her kindergarten teacher so she wouldn’t get in trouble for missing a school day.” Sept. 19, 2013

Good Morning! Have a fantastic day.
GM Chips and TOD.
Happy, Happy Birthday to Dudette.
Thanks COS! :-D
It totally feels like this!
Funny, i logged on for an update. Read the content of the blog entry. Then realized that it was ” leave a comment” when i initially logged on. Always makes me crack up when that happens - too absentminded to see the door wide open
It’s okay GCL! Winning isn’t everything! I’m glad you’re here! :-D
Did someone say PIRATE! :-D
It’s not yet 11a.m. and Chips has overwhelmed me! /snarkily / Thanks Chips! I’m not even halfway through the previous post AND in addition I’m now thinking about rugby - a game I never gave a passing thought before (fervently wishing for a Canada comeback so that I can sing ‘Na-nanna-na-na, Hey Chips!’).
The Goose Boys are actually doing quite well, they’re only 29-0 down with 20 minutes to go.
Twenty minutes, eh? A lot can happen in that time. I’m optimistic (not for them, you understand, but for a possible chance to rub your nose in it).
It’s 36-0 now :cool: #YourGoosesAreCooked
Drat! Seems like my *gooses* were cooked from before they ever got on the field.
….
Sigh.
:oops: Tell you what, let’s not mention them again today. Deal? Cooked gooses are really not tasty.
43-7 now. Gooses incinerated. :cool:
You are a heartless creature; did you know that? However, I will leave you to your sports waterloo - surely the gooses and I will be in the village to gather *your* tears in the near future.
55-7 now :cool:
No it’s not, corrupt referee took the points off Ireland.
For God’s sakes, are the Canadians playing with a half team? Oh, I forgot, the refs must be Irish!
Wait ….. it’s 48-7 :cool:
My turn will come…. and before fall is over.

And the Gooses were SO rough!
Goooo away and stop trying to mess up my Saturday morning! I. don’t. care. about. rugby (unless of course we were winning)!
:cool:
Thanks
.
.
.
for nothing! I tell you, you’ve managed to kill almost all the compassion I had for you when you were being pounded in the village. Now, I think I’ll still watch in silence, but I might gloat …. just a little bit.
You scored!!!!!!!!!
A very happy birthday to Ms. Dudette! May you have many more fantastic years ahead.
Thanks so much GCLinda!
I’m working on it! :-D
Life Goals…
HBD MM.

i was a little slow warming up to the idea of v.p. biden running, but with the way things are playing out i’m really ready to see more of this:
Happy birthday Dudette! Have an awesome time today.
Thanks PW!
I know Awesome! Awesome is a friend of mine!
Note the “Your” instead of “You’re”. That sums it up. Missed spelling,punctuation and grammar if they were taught at his school. BTW: Happy Birthday Dudette. I don’t know how to bring up a cake for you but may all your wishes come true.
Thank you Sweet misspat!
Got it covered! :-D
The media loves to tell us that in one of those many, many, many, many, many polls it shows that 15% of Democrats think President Obama is a Muslims. Then the right wing haters loves to tell us that the birtherism started with the Clinton supporters. Is that true?
Doesn’t matter if its true or not. The GOP from bottom rung to the very top climbed on board and would have come up with it anyway.
This.This and this.
Happy burfday to you, Dudette!! As Meta has given you an incredible chocolate cake, and GGail cake and BALLOONS, I guess all that’s left to top up the day is Light and Love All Around You!! My dearest cousin has his birthday today, so it is a special day, indeed!! <3
Thanks MP! Love that! Happy Birthday to your Cool Cousin too! :-D
Happy birthday Dudette! Hope you have a great day!
and the effing village pundtwits including lefty toonists have declared her as the winnah. guess brazen lying intimidates and as well as thrills media idjits.
go leicester

Another Birthday wish for Dudette in Klingon:
AWESOME!!! Thank you MadameSoph! You know I love me some Trek! :-D
Good morning TOD.
Just a few news items.
Bernie said yesterday that he had 450,000 individual small donors to his campaign.
For perspective, in 2008 Sen. BO had 1,000,000+ donors under $200.00.
In 2012, the President, plagued by an enthusiasm gap, had better that 3,000,000 small donors.
In other news it was widely reported that the day after the marathon GOP debate, Jeb! spoke to a small 1/2 empty room. Photos widely available.
In Concord, NH at a liberal arts college, on Wed., HRC spoke to a 1/2 empty room and if you want to see a photo of that go to Ed Henry’s twitter. Media doesn’t care to share this.
—————————————————————-
Jose Ramos belongs next to Cornel West on a bench in the Idiotic Grudges Held section.
He ranted about how PBO broke his promises on immigration and raged about how PBO had a Dem Sen and House.
Bill Maher was wonderful.
He reminded Jorge that the President came into office with an economy in meltdown and many priorities in addition to Immigration. Jorge kept saying that the President “Lied.”
He would not shut up.
Mr. Ramos has forgotten that we only had the majority for a tiny sliver of time.
Al Franken’s seat was empty while he fought Norm Coleman.
Then, we got Scott Brown.
Jorge Ramos, please STFD and STFU.
Vicki, I watched Colbert last night (and every night :- ) ) and I thought the same thing when he was talking about his “small donors” No mention, of course, that the Obama Coalition was the first to do that. Did you notice how Stephen tried to pin BS down to what he would actually do? Sen Sanders was talking about inequality and Stephen asked him what he meant to do in practical terms, like did that mean an 80% tax rate? BS then answered (I’m paraphrasing), “What it means is that this is an outrage…” etc etc and never gave an answer to what he would actually do. Same kind of dodge I remember from when Kucinich was running in 2007/2008 (and where is he now?).
He’s wrong but he can’t rant all he wants too.
I watched that Vicki. It was very frustrating! As if the President didn’t want immigration! What bull shit! Chris Matthews also spoke up to Jorge saying why aren’t you blaming Repubs.
Just wanted to say Vicki how much I always enjoy all your posts!
Beautiful, perfect letter.

to make the heads of bigoted, racist xenophobic O-haters explode, I use Gen Powell’s response : “so what if he was a Muslim” ?
I do the same, Linda :)
