    Donna, if those two adorable grandbabies came to my door, I’d give them half the bowl of treats. They’re in a whole class or adorableness.

    NerdyW, (now that I’m caught up) I want to add that I’m sorry to hear of the flooding situation in your area; seems like just ‘yesterday’ you and your neighbours were ‘rained’ in so there hasn’t been enough time for any improvements to have been made for flooding control! This has got to be so scary or at least nerve-wracking for you and other members of your city. Please do take great care and keep your ears and eyes open for safety directives. Will be thinking of you, for sure!

    Don, I saw your comment that you are also in the catchment area. Please make smart decisions about your movements even if you are away from home. Will hold you in my thoughts as well!

      Thanks, vc, I’m home now and everyone and everything is safe. My main concern now is what to do about dinner and hoping the Heat beat the Cavaliers tonight.

    Hello guys :)
    Sorry if this quesiton has been asked already but…has the live feed started already? whitehouse.gov/life says it´ll start shortly at 5.15 pm which would mean they´re running more than an hour late, no? I am confused.

    I love this idea of “non-government is better” - just read a link that was posted back somewhere (I’m always late - despite time being ahead) about a private college going bankrupt
    http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article41967387.html

    And then I found this gem

    “Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education, source of nearly 90 percent of Dade Medical’s revenue through loans and Pell grants, conducted a recent on-site inspection of the school and afterward placed it on a special “heightened cash monitoring�? status. That change slowed the flow of federal dollars, the lifeblood of any for-profit college.”

    THE LIFEBLOOD OF A FOR-PROFIT COLLEGE IS FEDERAL DOLLARS! So why not just have not-for-profit college & let the “profit” reduce student debt and those “federal dollars”. My brain hurts at this logic of reducing government spending by letting private organisations get the fed $$$

    I agree with the WH 1001%.
    President is allowed to communicate with his Cabinet members without Congress snooping around. Pres Obama is not being investigated for any wrong doing.
    This isn’t the Nixon Era.
