Yes, welcome sir!
VeeeeeeCeeeeee!
Oui, c’est moi - with a screen that’s jumping and dancing all over the place!
And how are you, Ms Chips, now that Monday is drawing to a close?
I do be highly well VC, thank you, a bonkers busy day, but mercifully it’s coming to a close :-) I hope you do be very well too.
I do be, [do be do♫], thank you!
:-)
Hello VC! Congrats to your win!
:star: :bear: <3
Congratulations VC!
Hey there Ms. Chips.
Okay. These pics have me smiling inside and tearing up outside.
Who can connect us to human beings that we have never ever met except PBO?
Instead of chocolates and a cup of green tea when I sit down for my daily dose of TOD.
Now, I bring a box of tissues because I expect to laugh until I cry or cry until I laugh.
I have long stopped saying “This is my favorite picture”. I get tired of lying to myself.
How the GOP lie effortlessly is certainly not a human trait.
Thank you for making me cry until I laugh.
So beautiful and heartfelt.
The respect just takes my breath away.
{{{ LDS }}} Name it, gurl!! I find myself thinking after browsing some of the article on Dowd (bah): just when we wonder how a human can be entirely bereft of Soul Awareness, some one or other of the GOP show us a new depth to which they seem willing to plunge. They must love the Darkness, or money, hard for us to know! Here we have daily visible proof of how much Love and Light President Obama brings with him everywhere, shares with all, how people anticipate his arrival in their locality for weeks, maybe months, and are so visibly able to join on a higher level of the human existance. So be it. We all have the freedom to choose, no matter how rich or poor we may be materially. God Bless our President Bear On The Loose, and may he love Alaska asang of us have done, who have been gifted to visit, live or dwell there for a time. (Pre-pipeline - 1973 - staggeringly beautiful out in the bush. <3 :bear:
Thanks NCLB, MP and LDS!
Boom!!!!
Too often we focus on the candidates themselves rather than the folks whose votes they are trying to get. It used to be that you could say that they were a fringe element, or only the base that showed up for primaries. But screw that. They aren’t just a small minority of the GOP electorate. They represent the vast majority of GOP voters now.
is that because the “moderate” gop members are now indies or conservative DEMS
More because even the “moderate” ones have been pulled into the orbit of the crazies.
This is frightenly true.
Well, no surprise there…paging Old Orange…
Oooh :) :)
ALRIGHT!! YES!
POTUS photographer!
Gov. Bill Walker and President Barack Obama today. @kylehopkinsAK
@AkGovBillWalker
Sexy President!
Jackie,
You wrote what was in my mind!
Oh Lord. I’m so glad I wasn’t FURST in thinking that because now I can say it. My president is so very sexy. That outfit. Can we please have that as the lead pic in the morning? OMG awesome.
My President looks fine and lean in this pic…paging Mr. Yardarm…
It ought to be against the law for a President to look this handsome and be as kind, considerate, intelligent, fair, compassionate as PBO.
Young! Looks like a grad student in that outfit. I love it.
My, my, my! Slim Sexy.
There’s no fool like an old Republican fool. Here’s one.
The last thing that I will associate with The Donald is masculinity and strength. I even wonder what these younger wives of his see. I know, I know. His cash. But masculinity and strength? Please! Maybe in his vulgar vernacular. Nowhere else.
As I watched POTUS arriving live through my smart phone, I wondered if the Governor was a Republican. He became independent in 2014 just before his win. Republicans are afraid of their bases and would never show decency for fear of being demonized by their flocks.
Y’all what’s that square white thing on the bottom of PBO’s shoe?

Serena won first match. I think the opponent had to retire because of injury. But Serena had won first set 6-0.
