Alrighty then! Enjoying the program.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS….HERE IS ANOTHER ONE SHINING A LIGHT TONITE…OUR AWESOME ENERGIZER PBO!
Saw this on Huff Po and thought it was pretty cool, that they got invited to the White House during the Christmas season: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/atlanta-homeless-choir-white-house_564f5694e4b0d4093a578347?utm_hp_ref=good-news. I’m hoping to donate something to help them reach their goal (http://www.atlantahomewardchoir.org/) :-)
I wonder if LL Cool J still a Republican?
LL Cool J is a Republican. What, for real. I never knew that.
see comment below
I heard him being asked about this live on the Tom Joyner Show and he denied it;
he said that it is one of those things people want to make up, just because he refuses to discuss his political affiliation - he said it was not anyone’s business;
he said that he is just not very verbally active in politics because he doesn’t believe that his opinion is any more important than any other ordinary person;
I heard him say he was a Republican on Fox. I think it was right after he shot at someone trying to break into his house. He did say it.
I DON’T ENVY OUR PRESIDENT HAVING TO RETURN TO THE DC DRAGON’S NEST…ALL THAT IS GOING ON THERE IS SHAMEFUL…INHUMANE AND DISGUSTING!
I HATE TO SOUND LIKE A WHINER BUT I DON’T LIKE THIS SCHEDULE HE’S ON….YOU ARE LOVED MR. PRESIDENT!….<3
Can’t wait for 10pm, Trump’s third wife and the Trump family. And Barbara Walter too. Oh my, my, my. How exciting. :)
THAT WOULD BE AS STIMULATING AS THE TIME LAPSE BETWEEN BEN CARSON BEING ASKED AND ANSWERING A QUESTION! I’D RATHER WATCH BREAD MOLD…I’LL BE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!…HAVE A BLESSED NIGHT EVERYONE…ADIOS!
Cool little video
‘ In October, the talented light artist Jun Ong created a beautiful star installation crafted from over 500 meters of LED rope and then “embedded” into a four-story open cement building. The brilliant star was then turned on lighting up the vendors, artists and guests at 2015 Urban XChange Public Art Festival in Butterworth, Penang, Malaysia. ‘
Cool!
Please tell me what you think of this response by Kind. I think it is CYA. He must be getting roasted because he has had a couple of feel good postings on his FB page today that people aren’t being distracted by. And here he is distracting by saying he’s better an Walker. The article is also linked to on FB now and people are letting him know how upset they are. The ones who are agreeing with him would never vote for him anyway (republicans).

The Shining a Light concert will replay on A&E next. Thanks for posting about it on TOD, or I would have missed it!

Feds charge worker of Cook County Court Clerk Dorothy Brown
WRITTEN BY CHRIS FUSCO, ROBERT HERGUTH AND PATRICK REHKAMP POSTED: 11/20/2015, 01:31
A lower-level employee of Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown has been charged with lying to a federal grand jury “investigating the purchasing of jobs and promotions” in the clerk’s office — including a lie about whether he had spoken to Brown after he was rehired.
Sivasubramani Rajaram, 48, of Glenview, was rehired by Brown after he allegedly loaned $15,000 to Goat Masters Corporation, a company whose president was Brown’s husband, Benton Cook III, according to the indictment. Rajaram was charged with one count of making false declarations before a grand jury, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Brown and Cook have not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, though the FBI last month seized Brown’s county-issued cellphone as part of the investigation. Shortly after that, the Better Government Association, Chicago Sun-Times and FOX Chicago TV revealed that Goat Masters was listed on federal subpoenas involving the circuit clerk’s office.

Carol Marin: A betrayal of trust in McDonald, Koschman cases
WRITTEN BY CAROL MARIN
POSTED: 11/20/2015, 06:41PM
“At every stage, the instinct of the culture is to circle the wagons and enforce a false narrative.”
—Freelance journalist Jamie Kalven, who broke the Laquan McDonald story
Crime is bad enough.
A code of silence is worse.
It continues to be true in the case of David Koschman. I’ll get to that in a moment.
And it’s true in the case of Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times by one Chicago police officer in October 2014 as other officers who chose restraint looked on.
Now, by virtue of an order by Cook County Judge Franklin Valderrama, video of the McDonald shooting must be released so the public can see what neither Mayor Emanuel nor CPD has wanted us to see for 13 months.
