Heh !!! Mine is a legit furst.
As opposed to ‘moral’, right? Where is she anyways?

Oh. Poor thing, her teams are destined to let her down.
she is a winner at picking the losers.
Well now, careful there – she picked you. /hurried departure/
who doesn’t here? everyone pick, pick, pick on poor amk.
1. she pickED, not pick ON
2. Not everyone….I don’t. /insert angelic smilie here/
3. Poor Amk can’t be all that poor, with all the money he collects from dunning TODvillagers
It’s 6 am. Don’t get me started on irish coffee.

WATCH LIVE: President Obama arrives in Austin. http://www.keyetv.com/news/features/live-events/#.U733EbG9ZRY?wap=0
Bringing my “Anybody else getting the ol’ Sally Field vibe?” over to this new post, for no good reason. 🙂
Are those name cards in front of the president?
Yes.
Damn weather! 🙂
seems more appropriate here.
I have come to the conclusion that I will stop listening to these cable pundits concerning the immigrants crisis, they all know what POTUS should do and how he should handle it. I was disappointed in Richard Wolfe tonight on Lawrence O’Donnell show.
Seem like these folks are having a dam fit cause President Obama won’t go to the border.
They’re entertainers first and foremost. So they want to see entertainment. They want to see theatre. Symbolism. Oh… they know the president is working on the problem. But what they want is IMAGES. I’m always amazed at how shallow they are. Secretary Johnson going to the border FIVE times isn’t enough for them. No they just want the President to go by himself. Even if he doesn’t learn anything new.
I also was disappointed Richard too. It seems that no one is allowed to say anything good about this President. I did like the rest of LOD’s show, especially the lady that testified in front of the Repubs.
I thought we already ascertained this…is this because they can’t handle the truth that we have to revisit?
What are are these blue stars? ………anyway I haven’t seen any threads today so sorry if this is a duplicated, but here is the video of President Obama giving a Challenge coin to the sister of a soldier who died.

I need to move to England asap: Netflix will pay you to watch Netflix all day
http://www.9news.com/story/life/2014/07/08/netflix-tagger-job-posting/12373765/
I get paid to read. I prefer my job.
*Ivory Tower* 😎
Well, that’s a given.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
With Netflix you get paid to watch a variety of shows, documentaries, movies, etc. and still also have leisure time for reading.
Best of both worlds.
Hah! I’ll turn it around: I get paid to read things I want to read, and then my leisure time is for watching stuff I want to watch.
right now? About to finish off a documentary on Charlotte Rampling. If you haven’t looked it up on Netflix streaming, you should. Quite good.
Under the Sand was an amazing film.
If you do move…. looks like France is the place to be
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/10/opinion/pamela-druckerman-the-french-do-buy-books-real-books.html
PARIS — One of the maddening things about being a foreigner in France is that hardly anyone in the rest of the world knows what’s really happening here. They think Paris is a Socialist museum where people are exceptionally good at eating small bits of chocolate and tying scarves.
In fact, the French have all kinds of worthwhile ideas on larger matters. This occurred to me recently when I was strolling through my museum-like neighborhood in central Paris, and realized there were — I kid you not — seven bookstores within a 10-minute walk of my apartment. Granted, I live in a bookish area. But still: Do the French know something about the book business that we Americans don’t?…..continued

I’m not the biggest fan, but why doesn’t the ‘liberal media’ cover this wall-to-wall like they do for C-Pac?
They’d rather whine about President Obama, cut their nose to spite their face, and rake in the cash from corporations.
Ya…..I guess I kinda already knew the answer.
Whatever happened to the the gay vet who chained himself to the White House fence before DADT passed? He also insulted Harry Reid at that NR conference?
Lt. Choi, drama queen emoprog, has faded into the sunset.
Tough to be a single issue activist when the person you’re protesting against has done more in the history of the US than any other politician to enact equality.
(I may be all wet on this, I haven’t seen Rachel Maddow for a couple of months now.)
Dan Choi……I remember that fella. I thought he was an honest broker until he be became a media stooge.
Was he with the now defunct Log Cabin Republicans?
I don’t think so……would kinda be hard to be a DailyKos/NetRoots & Log Cabin, but who knows (wouldn’t surprise me) Come to think of it I haven’t heard anything about the Log Cabin crew since they tried to take credit for Prop 8 being struck down by SCOTUS….
I have wondered what has happened to him too.
For the past 6 years they only cover the negative of anything to the left – you surely know that – I guess it was a rhetorical question 🙂
Seems like something you can applaud PM Abbott for, 99?
More that China is leaving Oz rather than the reverse in many ways – we are very dependent on them for trade – it is easy to sign deals with long term friends – not so sure this will end well – not good it has to be one or the other
Just received a couple emails from the DCCC. To their credit, they haven’t been quite as hair on fire lately, though I am sure that will change. Lately they have been working more from the angle of indignation rather than fear.
The headline of this email was:
BREAKING: NBC NEWS is reporting that your grassroots support could force Boehner to drop his lawsuit against President Obama.
Obviously, the whole plea is, if we raise enough Boehner will see the folly of this and pull back.
The hell with that. I want him to go ahead and try to make the case for a lawsuit. In this case, the statement by Bush applies. “Bring it on.”
“It irritates me so much when people say, ‘Why don’t they just work together?’ ” Reid says. What this overlooks, he argues, is that “the Republicans made a decision . . . to oppose everything Obama wants.” It’s in the GOP’s interest to keep things from happening because it plays into a simple narrative that Reid described this way: “Democrats control the Senate. We have a Democrat in the White House. Why can’t you get things done?”
The result: “They won’t let us vote on things that the vast majority of the American people want a vote on.”
“It’s so bad around here,” Reid adds, “that they filibuster their own bills.”

I’m heading out for my first night-time nap. Sweet dreams, everyone!
Huh? Night-time nap?
🙂 🙂 Well, hello there! You are definitely scarcer than good gold!
I’ve decided not to label what I do as sleep/rest, since I’m forever awakening at one-two hourly intervals. 😉 😉
Okay, get rid of this like button. Cutesy, but we are all adults here and don’t need the adulation. Plus I don’t need my email clogged up with notifications each time somebody likes a comment I make. I realize that might be only 1 or 2 a week, but still.
+1.
Thank you japa and amk.
I believe that we should comment on a comment & not just click on an
icon. I enjoy reading the thoughts and opinions. Let’s not reduce TOD to grunts and stars.
Cosign
I am with you 100%!
Heh bt. The stars thingy ? Not working. I can tolerate effing FF crashing every hour but not every 5 min. Yes, I blame your stars.
Bob has the same problem. Of course, if you use Chrome, no issues whatsoever.
chrome is for losers.
Not true for at least one person in TODville — can’t recall who it was, maybe COS (?) — Chrome wouldn’t allow her to “like” neither now nor previously.
I can’t like either – and I’m on Chrome.
that would be me:)
I have Chrome and I had a heck of a time. My PC went into a freak zone and I had to abort and reboot. Then I remembered that I had the exact problem from the last time the Blue Like Star appeared. Anyway, I did try it 2 more times having read from one or two commenters who assured to have had Chrome and had experienced Zero problems. My PC went Rogue again and I had to abort one more time and on the 3 try, the PC aborted it self for me.
I was getting emails every time someone favorited a post. Finally figured out how to change that!
Please share the secret – tomorrow. I’m too sleepy right now to absorb the steps. Wait a minute, a post or a tweet?
Here. If someone likes a comment here, I was getting an email.
Happy you’re sleepy!
Hope raised and dashed in 5mins! 😀 For a moment I thought I could stop the twitter ‘retweeted someone who retweeted you’ or whatever,
Off to try and sleep. TY BTW
Rest easy, vc!!
Same situ. Real pain. Correlation with the ‘stars’ is solid. Only other time I’ve ever had this problem with FF is the prior time of the ‘star’ regime. And, no, I will not use google products 😉
It’s a pita alright.
Ok dilated peoples, off to wind down. See everyone tomorrow.
Apparently, the suspect in TX just surrendered to police.

President Barack Obama sides with Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry on ideas to shore up security on the US-Mexico border.
dumbassery has crossed the pond.
I think POTUS actually played Rick Perry. By stating that Perry had some valid concern, he put the onus on GOP to support his solutions. Perry is the ham in the sandwich. WIN WIN WIN.
and clueless beebs says the opposite.
MSM always get it wrong. It’s their job!
Yes, PBO did exactly that…..put the onus on Perry and the Republicans to DO something. I think Perry began to realize that, and that is why he has that pout on his face in the picture. Or maybe not…..I’m not sure Perry is smart enough to realize that he got played, which he did.
The silliness about going “to the border” will pass, and people will actually begin to expect action. Even. Miss Lindsey knows they’d better do something.
President Obama was right: They want theater, and he doesn’t do theater.
Well no theater in this case. This one is too important for the theater. I say if the politicians know what need to be done, then why don’t they do it? The President visiting border won’t solve one dam problem.
I have had it up to here with all this talk about the President visiting the border. How about more talk about Congress doing it’s job.
Chaching!
One down…two to go…..your next turtle lips.
I stopped collecting baseball cards 15 years ago, but damn…….

good night TOD
WP is totally screwed! This comment was posted at the end of the thread and lands here, totally out of context.
oh well …. good night
And with this I bid you all a good night!
“She’s an incredible human being,” Rev. Rudy Rasmus, who unearthed Beyonce’s selfless donations to the public, told KHOU 11 News. He married Beyonce to rapper Jay-Z in 2008 and has worked personally with the singer in her efforts to help Houston’s homeless. “[She] has an incredible heart and has been extremely helpful in our mission and our ministry here.”
Echoing many others…….the blue stars are annoying. Please delete them.
Like is for Facebook……..not this wonderful blog.
How unfortunate! I like those blue stars. I believe they are another way of saying to someone that you are in agreement with him/her without having to write a full blown opinion piece.
I like the stars and am already used to them, but if they go away I can deal with it. I’m just glad we have this wonderful blog to highlight everything we love about President Obama!
Just got done watching “My Cousin Vinny” for the umteenth time…still LMAO through that entire movie. Hilarious:)
Marisa Tomei was wicked funny & smart. Also. Too. ridiculously hawt.
That is one of my favorite movies to watch and laugh. May get it this weekend. Thanks for the reminder.
“Mr. Gambini, what is a “yute”? 😆 😆 I could recite the whole dang movie by heart DF! Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her performance if I recall. She was hilarious.

This is perfect!
If Corporations are legally ‘people’– separate from the owner, how could the owners impose their personal beliefs on the corporation? The High Court (and by high, i mean they’re smoking something) seems to be saying their is no separation. If true, articles of incorporation which limit personal liability of owners, shareholders and employees have no viability. If that is true, then those owners and shareholders can be individually sued.
If Health Insurance BENEFITS are part of a salary compensation, taking legally mandated contraception from the coverage without reimbursing those women is tantamount to wage theft. If that is true, shouldn’t they be able to petition the Labor Board for redress?
If Churches, which are TAX EXEMPT, should N.O.T. be allowed to discriminate against women or anyone else. Women, including those only making minimum wage, pay for the taxes Churches and other non-profits DO NOT PAY.
My belief is that NO Corporation or Institution should have an exemption, including ‘religious’ organizations. Aside from the fact that most of their ‘science’ is faulty, no other woman/man should have the ‘right’ to override MY RIGHT to make personal PRIVATE health decisions, N.O.T. E.V.E.N C.L.E.R.G.Y.
The best way to understand a corporation is to imagine it as a separate artificial person (with limited rights and privileges). Incorporating a business is essentially creating that separate person thereby making the business separate from the owner (in a sense, the business has a life of its own). As a separate entity, the corporation exists independent from the shareholders/owners and its employees.
If there is any justice in the world, Hobby Lobby would be sued for every ‘nickel and dime’ they used, to pay their lawyers, to impose their religiously objectionable, morally and ethically views on the women who are employed by them. And the Court would order damages to all plaintiffs, in a verdict that would amount to the value of all their worldly possessions. Then they could lived the life Jesus thought would be ‘perfect’.
Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”–Matthew 19:21
‘morally and ethically challenged views’
If Corporations are legally ‘people’– separate from the owner, how could the owners impose their personal beliefs on the corporation?

I couldn’t agree more, zekke, and I think there will be legal consequences to Hobby Lobby’s immoral act that will stun them. In the meantime, it would only take a Democratic House and Senate to reverse this decision and that’s what we have to give our heart and soul to achieving.
